Dallas, Texas, October 24, 2007— Over the past 12 months, Crest Asset Management and a commingled fund managed by Strategic Capital Partners have acquired three Class A, multi-family assets totaling 1,344 units in Dallas and Austin, Texas. Taking advantage of strong market fundamentals, the partnership will invest additional funds to upgrade each property to better compete with newer assets in their respective submarkets.

• Aslan La Valencia, acquired in September 2007, is a 384-unit complex that was built in 2000 and is located in the northwest suburbs of Dallas;

• Steeplechase, the latest acquisition by the partnership, is a 324-unit complex located in Round Rock, a
  suburb of Austin, and was built in 1996.

“Our strategy of repositioning newer assets which lack design or structural obsolescence allows us to provide a superior product at a competitive price and realize significantly higher risk adjusted returns for our investors,” said Rajiv Naidu, Chairman and CEO of Crest Asset Management. “These assets acquired with Strategic Capital Partners exemplify this strategy.”

Added Robb Bollhoffer, Vice President of Acquisitions at Strategic Capital Partners, “These assets are a great addition to our portfolio. They will undergo minor to major interior and exterior renovations that will upgrade each property to compete with higher quality assets.
