EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by Peakstone Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Registrant"), for the purpose
        of registering (i) 1,285,700 common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Shares"), that became authorized for issuance pursuant to the Peakstone Realty Trust Second Amended and Restated Employee and Trustee Long-Term
        Incentive Plan (as amended, the "Plan"), as amended by that certain First Amendment to the Plan, which was approved by the Registrant's shareholders at the Registrant's annual meeting of shareholders held on June 18, 2024, and (ii) 36,748
        additional Common Shares that, in accordance with the Plan, have become available for issuance under the Plan to the extent that awards under the Plan have been terminated, cancelled or expired.

Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statements are incorporated by reference herein to the extent not modified or superseded hereby or by any subsequently filed document, which is incorporated by
        reference herein or therein.
