Press Release, May 18, 2010

ATLANTA – CresaPartners, the largest pure tenant representation firm in North America, recently awarded Tom Tindall and Jim Byrd, Managing Principals and Founders of CresaPartners Atlanta, the “First Citizen Award”. Bill Goade, Chief Executive Officer of CresaPartners, made the announcement at the company’s annual meeting, with more than 300 CresaPartners associates in attendance. The First Citizen award honors the individuals that have made significant personal contributions to CresaPartners. The Atlanta office was also recognized for revenue growth in excess of 10% from 2008 to 2009.

CresaPartners has more than 50 offices in North America and over 700 employees, including 90 Project Managers. Internationally, CresaPartners covers more than 125 locations in 35 countries. Many of CresaPartners’ senior-level Principals have corporate real estate backgrounds and average tenures of more than 20 years in their respective markets.

CresaPartners Atlanta was founded in 1998 by Tom Tindall and Jim Byrd. Since that time, three additional Managing Principals have joined the firm, including Kevin Creel, Richard Chrismer, and Billy Hobbs. With more than 20 Advisors, the Atlanta office represents over 1200 clients and completes approximately 200 transactions each year.

CresaPartners Atlanta was recently honored as a Top Brokerage Firm by CoStar Group, the largest, independent research organization in commercial real estate. The annual awards recognize the “best of the best” in commercial real estate brokerage by spotlighting the U.S. firms that closed the highest transaction volume in commercial property sales or leases in 2009.

CresaPartners is guided by a Do the Right Thing concept, both internally and externally. Since the founding of the firm, the primary focus of CresaPartners has been to serve the best interests of tenants. By representing tenants, not landlords, the company’s Advisors ensure objectivity and avoid the inherent conflicts of interest of companies representing both owners and users of real estate.

• Strategic Planning
• Transaction Management
• Project Management
• Relocation Planning and Management
• Workforce and Location Planning
• Subleases and Dispositions
• Lease Administration
• Capital Markets
• Sustainability
