MBF and Goldman Sachs will share joint ownership of OMNI; Wachovia and ORIX Finance Corp. led the financing of the senior credit facility; other details of the acquisition were not disclosed. Through the acquisition, MBF and Goldman Sachs will seek to maximize OMNI's potential for organic and acquisitive growth. </p><p>OMNI, a Coral Springs, FL based company founded in 2001, is a leading provider of healthcare services to homes in more than 30 locations across Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. OMNI offers coordinated skilled home health nursing and rehabilitation therapy programs that are readily implemented in a variety of housing settings that benefit senior residents. OMNI has established itself as a leader in implementing innovative ways to provide quality care to its patients and is well positioned to grow organically and explore additional acquisitions to expand the platform of its services. </p><p>"OMNI's strong presence across Florida presents a number of opportunities to capitalize on adjacent markets. We are excited about the opportunity to partner with MBF and Goldman Sachs to grow the company and capitalize on the opportunities currently available in the home healthcare market," said Fred Portnoy, Chief Executive Officer of OMNI Home Care. "Our current management team has built the company since 2001 into a high quality, growth oriented regional home health provider without the aid of institutional capital. We are excited to enter the next phase of growth for OMNI alongside MBF and Goldman Sachs." Mr. Portnoy will join the Board of Directors for OMNI. </p><p>Home health is one of the fastest growing segments in the delivery of health care. Home care spending from both public and private sources grew from $2.4 billion in 1980 to an estimated $64.2 billion in 2008, driven by favorable underlying demographic trends, new clinical protocols that expanded the range of home-based therapy, lower cost of home care relative to facilities-based care, and patient preferences for in-home care. As the U.S. over-65 population increases and the industry seeks to contain rising costs, home care is increasingly viewed as a favorable alternative for treatment. </p><p>Miguel (Mike) B. Fernandez, Chairman at MBF said, "We have been looking at making an investment in the home nursing industry for quite some time and are excited to partner with Goldman Sachs on the OMNI transaction. OMNI and its management team represent the very best in class in home nursing and we are looking forward to working with them to maximize their growth potential." MBF will hold two Board of Directors seats on OMNI's board. </p><p>Martin Chavez, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs in the Urban Investment Group said, "We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with OMNI's management team and MBF. We believe Mr. Portnoy and his management team have a strong track record of operating excellence that will prove to be very valuable as the industry adopts the 2008 Prospective Payment System rule changes. We look forward to working jointly with MBF, leveraging their deep sector expertise, in building a leading national home care provider." Goldman Sachs will also hold two Board of Directors seats on OMNI's board. </p><p>About OMNI Home Care: <br />OMNI, a Coral Springs, FL based company founded in 2001, is a leading provider of healthcare services to homes in more than 30 locations across Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. </p><p>About MBF Healthcare Partners: <br />MBF Healthcare Partners, LP is a private equity fund focused exclusively on investing in healthcare services companies and currently has $410 million under management.

The proposed casinos that lost in the economic slowdown were any with a condominium component. "These are projects that really fell apart," said Scott Fisher, managing director of The Innovation Group. </p><p>"For every one project that makes sense down here there are five that we looked at that don't make sense," he said. He advises Coast casino developers to build in phases and "slowly develop up." </p><p>The panelists were more bullish on regional markets like Mississippi than destination markets such as Atlantic City and Las Vegas that Fisher said "are in fact having trouble attracting capital to do the large projects." </p><p>Although the number of people visiting Las Vegas is down only half of one percent, visitors are spending less, said Steve Croxton, managing director of gaming and leisure for Investment Banking Group. Not so much on the casino floor, but revenues have dropped for Vegas hotels and restaurants. Even in a recession, people look for value in their entertainment, he said. </p><p>"The bubble has been burst that gaming is recession proof," said Alex Picou, managing director of gaming, travel and leisure for KeyBanc Capital Markets. There are so many more companies in the casino business nationwide now than there were in the economic slowdown of 1995. That casinos are also feeling the credit crunch shows "we're an integral part of the economy now." </p><p><strong>Stephen Turpin, manager-director for ORIX Finance, said the Gulf Coast has a number of highly favorable factors for casino development: a low cost of living, great regulatory support and a good return on capital. "This would be one of the markets where I'd want to put my money," he said. </strong></p><p>The key to long-term growth is for Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport to create traffic from other parts of the country within a two-hour flight. Short-term, he thinks couples will drive together to the Coast casinos rather than fly to Las Vegas and pay for high-priced resorts. </p><p><strong>Still, the Coast needs to develop Vegas-style attractions to draw people here. "Gamers have gotten spoiled by getting some top flight amenities," Turpin said. </strong></p><p>"I think the Coast can be what Atlantic City would like to be," said Picou, with the combination of the beach and world-class casinos and <br />amenities. "The casino industry is part of an economic puzzle," and he said casinos need to define their market space. "It's your facility. It's your food offerings. It's the hospitality. That's how you create an identity." </p><p>----- </p><p>To see more of The Sun Herald, or to subscribe to the newspaper, go to <a href="http://www.sunherald.com/">http://www.sunherald.com</a>. </p><p>Copyright (c) 2008, The Sun Herald, Biloxi, Miss. </p><p>Distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Information Services.

<p>CHICAGO, IL (July 10, 2008) – A joint venture of Chicago-based ORIX Real Estate Capital, Inc. and Boulder Net Lease Funds, LLC, based in Chicago’s north suburban Northbrook, Illinois, has acquired a 261,700-square-foot, single-tenant industrial building in Allen, Texas, said David R. Brown, president and chief executive officer of ORIX Real Estate Capital, and Randy Blankstein, president of Boulder Net Lease Funds, LLC. The seller was iStar Financial, based in New York City. The purchase price was not disclosed. </p>
<p>Situated on 13.65 acres at 105 West Bethany Drive, the building was completed in 1997 and is fully leased to Sanmina Texas, L.P., an electronic manufacturing service (EMS) provider of end-to-end solutions in the design, engineering, manufacturing and global distribution of communications systems, optical assemblies and rack assemblies.</p>
<p>Situated in a fast-expanding high-tech corridor within Dallas/Fort Worth (the “Metroplex”), the property is a quarter mile east of the Central Expressway (US 75) and easily accessible to D/FW International Airport and all of the metropolitan area.  “Occupancy in the Allen submarket is strong, with a rate of 93 percent,” said Eric Wollan, senior vice president-acquisitions of ORIX Real Estate Capital, “and the area is one of the top industrial locations in the Metroplex. Absorption is good, and vacancy rates are trending down.  We saw this as an excellent investment opportunity.”</p>
<p>Sanmina was the building’s original tenant. The property features 32-foot clear heights, 18 dockdoors and 512 parking spaces.<br />
</p>
<p>“The building has been very well maintained by the owners and the tenant,” noted Blankstein, “and it is surrounded by some of the world’s leading high-tech companies, such as TI, Nortel, Verizon, AT&amp;T, Fujitsu and HP. We therefore anticipate steadily rising property values in the area.”<br />

<p>Boulder ORIX Net Lease, which invests in properties on an all-cash basis, targets transactions ranging in value from $6 million to $30 million. The venture seeks well-located properties, each occupied by a single tenant preferably with less than five years remaining on its lease.

<p>Constructed in 1985 and currently in the final months of an extensive renovation, the property consists of one- and two-bedroom units in a variety of floor plans ranging from 579 to 1,042 square feet. Amenities include a clubhouse, fitness center with saunas, three pools, lighted tennis and basketball courts, 390 assigned carports and an additional 387 open parking spaces for residents and guests.</p>
<p>In-unit amenities include a full-size washer and dryer, private patio or balcony, outside storage room, semi-private entryway, high-speed Internet access, all kitchen appliances, and a large walk-in closet. Some units also include vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, dual balconies, and built-in cabinetry.</p>
<p>John Butler, ORIX Real Estate Capital’s vice president of acquisitions, led the ORIX team in the acquisition and noted that ORIX is aggressively pursuing additional multifamily assets in growth markets nationwide.</p>

Brown, president and chief executive officer of ORIX Real Estate Capital.  The transaction reflects the aggressive strategy by the recently restructured company to acquire major real estate properties across the United States and in Canada.  Six months ago, ORIX purchased 495 Business Center, a 750,000-sf, multi-building office/research and development property located in northwest suburban Boston.</p><p>Located at 13560 Morris Road 30 miles north of downtown Atlanta, the four-story Alltel building was constructed in 1999 and is one of the largest office buildings in the rapidly expanding GA-400 corridor of North Fulton County.  Alltel, which built the building and has been its sole tenant since completion, will continue to occupy 125,000-sf under a long-term lease, providing an opportunity for ORIX Real Estate Capital to reposition the building for multi-tenant use.</p><p>Brown noted that ORIX’s acquisitions program is two-pronged.  “We’re willing to assume some risks with opportunistic, value-added purchases such as this one,” he said, “and we’re also continuing to seek stabilized core assets.  Our access to internal capital sources enables us to act promptly when we see a good opportunity.  The Alltel property was especially attractive because it’s a Class A building, located in a recovering market, and offers significant upside potential.”<br /></p><p>The corporate-quality building can accommodate a major tenant needing as much as 400,000 contiguous-sf and can offer high-visibility signage opportunities for multiple large tenants.<br /></p><p>Above-standard building features include 10- and 12-foot ceiling heights, back-up generators, raised floors, separately cooled data center space, and a large, classroom-style conference facility.  The building sits on a 67-acre campus, of which at least 20 acres are available for additional development of office or possibly residential space. ORIX is determining whether to develop the additional land itself or sell it to a third-party developer.  The beautifully landscaped grounds include a large water feature and parking for 2,000 cars. </p><p>ORIX Real Estate Capital purchased the building in an off-market transaction negotiated by Eric Wollan, senior vice president of acquisitions.<br />“We’re already in negotiations with several major tenants who need large blocks of space,” said Wollan.  “The building’s location in one of the highest growth office markets in metropolitan Atlanta appeals to corporate tenants who want lower occupancy costs, close proximity to a strong housing market and well-educated workforce, and great area amenities.”<br /></p><p>ORIX worked on the acquisition with Atlanta-based Crossley, Jernigan &amp; Ellison, which will handle management and leasing for the property.  For leasing information, contact Neal Jernigan or Perry Ellison at 678-461-4600.  Lavista Associates, also based in Atlanta, represented Alltel in the sale transaction.</p><p>Alltel is a customer-focused communications company with more than 13 million customers and $8 billion in annual revenues. The company provides wireless, local telephone, long-distance, Internet and high-speed data services to residential and business customers in 26 states.<br /></p><p>Chicago-based ORIX Real Estate Capital, Inc. develops, acquires, finances and manages real estate properties in the United States and Canada.  The company is a subsidiary of Dallas-based ORIX USA, whose parent company is ORIX Corporation (NYSE:IX), a Tokyo-based integrated financial services company with more than $53 billion in assets and operations in 23 countries.  For more information about ORIX Real Estate Capital’s capabilities, to view recent transactions, and to obtain contact information, visit <a href="http://www.orix.com/">www.orix.com</a>.</p></pr_content></root>0.6728065513784460.000310
