Can we draw a shape that extends from Navigation to Footer and just go:
Object > Path > Split into Grid
and select 3 Rows? That results in equal parts.

Set fixed height for the nav and footer elements and then set each of the grid three grid rows to 1 fractional unit a piece. The browser will calculate the remaining space available, automatically divide it into 3 equal parts for your rows.
For instance:
<body class="body">
<div class="wrapper">
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<div class="rows">
<div class="row">Row 1</div>
<div class="row">Row 1</div>
<div class="row">Row 1</div>
</div>
<footer>© 2018 example</footer>
</div>
</body>
.wrapper {
display: grid;
grid-template-rows: 100px 1fr 1fr 1fr 10px;
}
.row {
margin-bottom: 10px;
background-color: tomato;
}
