PHILADELPHIA, PA, MAY 23, 2006
– AMC Delancey Group, Inc., a Philadelphia-based national real estate investment company, and joint venture partner Aquila Property Company, Inc. of Coral Gables, Fla., have announced the disposition of Miami Lakes Corporate Center located in Miami Lakes, Fla., to New Dawn Miami Lakes, LLC for $14 million. AMC Delancey and Aquila Property acquired the 74,000-square-foot Miami Lakes Corporate Center in 2002 and have since repositioned the office property with a significant capital renovation, while bringing the building’s occupancy rate up from 82 percent to 100 percent. John Bell, Senior Vice President, Miami office of Trammell Crow, represented the seller and was the sole broker in the transaction.

Kenneth P. Balin, President and CEO of AMC Delancey Group, Inc., stated, “We are pleased to have completed another successful repositioning of an underperforming asset, which resulted in a return on our investment that exceeded our overall performance goals. We are equally delighted to have completed our second joint venture with Aquila Property Company, whose experience and knowledge of the South Florida marketplace in particular proved to be a major asset in this transaction.”

Jordan Paul, President of Aquila Property Company, said, “Working in conjunction with AMC Delancey, who brings both capital and real estate expertise to our partnership, as well as one of Dade County’s premier leasing companies, Abood & Associates, we were able to help Miami Lakes Corporate Center realize its full potential. We added a significant amount of value, including increasing occupancy to 100 percent, obtaining strong market rents from tenants, and strong market pricing on the final sale. We look forward to once again collaborating with AMC Delancey Group on additional acquisitions in the near future.”

Located at 14750 N.W. 77th Court, Miami Lakes Corporate Center is strategically located with direct frontage on Palmetto Expressway. The office building features an enclosed two-story atrium and parking garage. Current tenants include American Express and regional accounting, law and architectural firms.

AMC Delancey’s joint venture partnerships encompass significant experience across various real estate products. For example, together with Paramount Hotel Group, LLC, AMC Delancey owns and manages full-service hotels in key East Coast markets. In northeast Florida, AMC Delancey and Paramount Hotel repositioned the newly renovated, now award-winning Radisson Hotel Jacksonville Butler Boulevard. In addition, AMC Delancey and Paramount Hotel Group are joint venturing in the repositioning of the Sheraton Orlando North Hotel, which is slated to reopen in the summer of 2006.

Other partnerships include Hudson Capital, with whom AMC Delancey is currently developing Antigua of St. Augustine—a $280 million luxurious waterfront community comprising condominiums, retail and commercial units on 132 acres of land in St. Augustine, Fla. Endurance Real Estate Group is another of AMC Delancey’s successful partnerships. Together, the companies acquired the 378,000-square-foot I-295 Industrial Center in Westville, N.J., and redeveloped it into separate office condos for sale.
