Quarter Circle Capital Acquires Two Commercial Real Estate Assets in Texas


OMAHA, NE -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 7, 2007 -- Quarter Circle Capital, LLC (QC Capital) today announced the acquisition of the fee interest in two commercial real estate assets in the Dallas Metropolitan area on behalf of their recently formed fund, QCC Fund I, L.P.

The first asset, a 163,000 square foot neighborhood shopping center, was acquired for approximately $6 million. The second, a well located, 64,000 square foot, two-building office complex with adjacent land, was purchased for approximately $5 million. The two assets are consistent with QC Capital's targeted investment parameters for Fund I, representing negotiated, off-market acquisitions of underperforming assets. Each property was purchased on an all-cash basis, and between the two assets, QC Capital has earmarked an additional $4 million for capital improvements and leasing costs.

"Both of these assets fit squarely within the investment criteria for Fund I, as they were both off-market, value-add investment opportunities that have multiple turn-around and exit strategies," said Starr P. Schulke, Chief Investment Officer. "The assets are fundamentally sound but lacked owner attention and capital, which we will restore."

With offices in Omaha, Nebraska and San Francisco, California, QC Capital focuses on principal acquisitions of distressed or defaulted debt on, or fee interests in, commercial real estate assets, generally ranging from $2 million to $25 million in value.
