Upgrades Included Elevators and Roofing Prior to Sale

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., November 14, 2008 — URDANG, part of BNY Mellon Asset Management, has completed the sale of two business centers in Marietta, Georgia, totaling 619,628 square feet for $48 million to CCI-B Marietta, LLC, a partnership formed by Capital Commercial Investments, Inc. The 14 multi-tenant buildings in the Atlanta suburb sold by Urdang Capital Management also house medical, retail and warehouse operations.

The two properties, American Business Center and WhiteWater Business Center, are approximately four miles apart and combined occupy more than 48 acres in the northwestern part of the Atlanta metropolitan area in Cobb County's business corridor. Both centers comprise one-story and two-story buildings and benefit from excellent access to Interstate 75 and Interstate 285. Major tenants include The Healthfield Group, General Electric, Bekaert Corporation, Concentra, DaVita, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

"URDANG and its managing agent, Ackerman & Co., have significantly enhanced these properties since we acquired them in December 1999," said Vincent Sanfilippo, chief investment officer of Urdang Capital Management. These improvements along with their excellent location have made the business centers particularly attractive to investors and tenants." The upgrades include replacing roofs on most of the 14 buildings, installing new elevators, re-grading and re-landscaping property frontage, renovating tenant suites, and installing new signs throughout the properties.

The Resource Real Estate Partners investment sales team of Tom Shafer and John Hinson represented URDANG in the sale. Sanfilippo and Dan Fishbein, vice president of URDANG, negotiated the sale for the seller. Thomas Shafer, principal of Resource Real Estate Partners, and his associate, John Hinson, brokered the transaction on behalf of the seller. A broker did not represent the buyer.
