Exhibit 99.1 Portfolio & Strategic Plan Update May 28, 2020
The information contained herein should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, the information in KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III’s (the “Company” or “KBS REIT III”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”), and in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”), including the “Risk Factors” Important contained therein. For a full description of the limitations, methodologies and assumptions used to value the Company’s assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the Company’s estimated value per share, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Disclosures SEC on December 12, 2019. Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements contained herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of its management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law. Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. The Company makes no representation or warranty (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements. These statements are based on a number of assumptions involving the judgment of management. You should interpret many of the risks identified in this presentation, in our Annual Report and in our Quarterly Report as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic, together with the resulting restrictions on travel and quarantines imposed, has had a negative impact on the economy and business activity globally. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s operations and those of its tenants and the Company’s investment in Prime US REIT will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.

Forward-Looking Statements Important The Company may fund distributions from any source including, without limitation, from offering proceeds or borrowings. Distributions paid through March 31, 2020 have been funded with cash flow from operating activities, debt financing and proceeds from asset sales. There are no guarantees that the Company will continue to pay distributions or that distributions at the current rate are sustainable. No assurances can Disclosures be given with respect to distributions. Actual events may cause the value and returns on the Company’s investments to be less than that used for purposes of the Company’s estimated NAV per share. With respect to the estimated NAV per share, the appraisal methodology used for the appraised properties assumes the properties realize the projected net operating income and expected exit cap rates and that investors (cont.) would be willing to invest in such properties at yields equal to the expected discount rates. The valuation for the Company’s investment in units of Prime US REIT assumes a discount for the holding period risk attributable to transfer restrictions and blockage due to the quantity of units held by the Company and such discount is driven by trading volume in Prime US REIT’s units in the public market and expected future volatility. Though the appraisals of the appraised properties and the valuation of the Company’s investment in units of Prime US REIT, with respect to Duff & Phelps, and the valuation estimates used in calculating the estimated value per share, with respect to Duff & Phelps, the Company’s advisor and the Company, are the respective party’s best estimates as of September 30, 2019, December 3, 2019 or December 4, 2019, as applicable, the Company can give no assurance in this regard. Even small changes to these assumptions could result in significant differences in the appraised values of the appraised properties, the valuation of the Company’s investment in units of Prime US REIT and the estimated value per share. Further, the Company can make no assurances with respect to the future value appreciation of its properties and ultimate returns to investors. The estimated NAV per share does not reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on portfolio values. Stockholders may have to hold their shares for an indefinite period of time. The Company can give no assurance that it will be able to provide additional liquidity to stockholders. The Company’s conflicts committee, which is composed of all of its independent directors, has approved the pursuit of the Company’s conversion to a perpetual-life NAV REIT. However, the Company’s conversion to an NAV REIT remain subject to further approval of the conflicts committee and board of directors, and regulatory, market or business considerations, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the markets and the Company’s operations, may influence the Company to delay the implementation of the NAV REIT conversion or abandon the Company’s conversion to an NAV REIT. Even if the Company converts to an NAV REIT, there is no assurance that the Company will successfully implement its strategy. The statements herein also depend on factors such as: future economic, competitive and market conditions; the Company’s ability to maintain and/or improve occupancy levels and rental rates at its real estate properties; and other risks identified in Part I, Item IA of the Company’s Annual Report and in Part II, Item 1A of the Company’s Quarterly Report.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Capital Markets and US Real Estate Investments WWW. KBS.COM 6
COVID-19 Impact Introduction Since initially being reported in December 2019, COVID-19 has spread around the world, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global economic activity and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the pandemic is rapidly evolving and many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry, including the real estate industry and the industries of our tenants, directly or indirectly. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We continue to evaluate the impact and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic on our real estate portfolio’s ongoing cash flows and monthly stockholder distributions. WWW. KBS.COM 7
As one would expect, leasing activity has come to a near halt for property tours and inquiries for new prospects. In COVID-19 addition, many of the leasing transactions that were in various stages of negotiation have slowed but continue to Impact (cont.) move forward slowly. The Federal Government has issued a guideline of three phases for states to begin easing social distancing measures and stay-at-home orders. Across the portfolio the range of expected phase 1 openings of local business varies with the majority of states beginning to ease restrictions under phase 1. Few if any sales transactions are occurring at the moment. Investments that were in various phases of the marketing process have been removed from the market and investments that were under due diligence have also slowed or been dropped by potential purchasers. Lenders remain selective on completing loan originations and are charging higher interest rate spreads, though all in rates remain low due to current LIBOR being near historic lows. WWW. KBS.COM 8
With the ongoing spread of the Coronavirus, the stock market has experienced a significant decline COVID-19 followed by marked volatility. As a result, treasury rates have continued to decline (and are now at historic lows) as investors continue to move funds into US treasuries. Additionally, the recent aggressive Impact (cont.) cut in oil prices by Saudi Arabia sent oil prices plummeting (although it has since rebounded slightly, but remains at historic lows) and puts further downward pressure on the equity markets as shown in the S&P 500 Index charts below. 10 Year Treasury Note Source: Yahoo Finance WWW. KBS.COM 9
COVID-19 Impact (cont.) It is premature to draw strong inferences about the virus’s impact on property markets. • The commercial real estate sector is not the stock market. It’s slower moving and the leasing fundamentals don’t change significantly from day to day. If the virus has a sustained and material impact on the broader economy in the long term, then the impact on the real estate market can be expected to follow. Governors face mounting court challenges • The outbreak has also prompted a flight to quality, driving investors into the over coronavirus lockdown orders. bond markets, where lower rates are creating more attractive debt/refinance options. • If past outbreaks are a useful guide, then COVID-19 could be contained by mid- year 2020, which could lead to a strong rebound in markets in the second half of the year. • News was just released recently that the CDC now says the coronavirus does not spread easily via contaminated surfaces. Many state governors are also facing potential lawsuits over what many view as excessive orders limiting public gatherings. WWW. KBS.COM 10

COVID-19 Impact (cont.) All eyes are on the financial markets. • The virus is significantly impacting China’s economy. The precise impact to the global economy remains unknown, but it is evidently disrupting certain sectors of the economy. • Stock volatility continues as the virus spreads globally and investors struggle to price in the potential economic fallout and growing downside risk. • On March 15th , the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to zero in an emergency announcement as the crisis accelerated in the U.S. Two months later, the effects are reaching online savings accounts which have begun to reduce interest rates.

COVID-19 Capital Management Impact (cont.) The impact of COVID 19 has placed significant constraints on corporate liquidity in the financial markets. As a result, we are slightly delaying the timing of refinancings and certain asset sales. We believe the Company’s low leverage and liquidity position with the ability to tap into available credit facilities enhances our ability to manage portfolio cash needs through this pandemic.

COVID-19 A number of tenants have reached out to us in light of the impact of COVID-19 on their businesses. Our process when we receive such requests is generally as follows: Impact (cont.) • Process for Tenants We encourage the tenants to first look to government relief through the CARES act. In addition, we Requesting Rent Modification request tenants to respond to a COVID-19 questionnaire form which consists of several questions related to their current financial standing. Through this process, many requests are denied. • Continue dialogue with tenants who have completed the form and/or we deem to be in immediate need of rent relief. • Consider whether there is any available TI/free rent allowance in the tenant’s lease that can be applied to near term rent. • Once these steps have been taken we then work through a process to modify the lease and offer them a short term deferral generally between one to three months. WWW. KBS.COM 15
COVID-19 Depending upon the duration of quarantines and the corresponding economic slowdown, some of the Company’s tenants have or will seek rent deferrals or become unable to pay their rent. Through the 21th day of the respective Impact (cont.) months, rent collections compared to the previous 6 month average is as follows: Collections Update Period of Rent Collected % of Rent Collected Prior 6 Month Avg % Collected2 April 20201 91% 96% May 2020 92% 1 As of May 21,2020, total April collections were 96%. 2 Prior 6 month average collected represents the period October 2019 through March 2020. Since April 1, 2020, the Company received short-term rent relief requests from several tenants, in the form of rent deferral requests or abatements, which the Company is evaluating on an individual basis. Any rent relief arrangements are expected to be structured as temporary short-term deferrals of base rent that will be paid back over time. In most cases, it is in the Company’s best interest to help its tenants remain in business and reopen when shelter-in-place orders or other mandated closures are lifted. Rent relief requests to date may not be indicative of collections or requests in any future period. WWW. KBS.COM 16
