As stated in yesterday's press release, the Strategic Alliance plans to complete numerous transactions that involve Multifamily, Retail, Destination Hotel and Office properties.  This Strategic Alliance has been developed with the opportunity to take positions in assets that are "Off Market" and can be acquired on a negotiated basis.
