PRESS RELEASE

Commercial mortgage lending specialists Innovative Capital Advisors (ICA), has partnered with Chicago-based HSA Commercial Real Estate, a full-service real estate firm, to launch ICA Real Estate Equity Fund I, a $50 million investment fund seeking commercial real estate acquisition and investment opportunities throughout the Midwest.

The recently closed fund is being managed by Peter Mavrogenes, senior managing director and CEO of ICA, and Tim Blum, executive vice president of HSA Commercial. Both are finance and real estate veterans and principal investors in the fund?s first installment.

The managers of ICA Real Estate Equity Fund I are seeking commercial real estate assets valued at less than $10 million in all property types (excluding hospitality) in metropolitan Chicago and second-tier markets throughout the Midwest. The Fund is focused on existing income-producing properties located within high-barrier-to-entry, infill markets. HSA Commercial will provide expertise in acquisitions, finance, management, leasing and due diligence for these properties.

?With the fixed-income market in its current lackluster condition, many of our institutional clients, like insurance companies, are turning to real estate to generate growth in their investment portfolios,? said Mr. Mavrogenes. ?Right now, the best way to create substantial returns in real estate is through equity in the types of core assets we?re pursuing with this fund.?

ICA and HSA Commercial are planning a series of funds to be implemented in the next five to 10 years as the group continues to attract capital from insurance companies, pension funds and high net worth investors.

?Our size and structure allows us to respond to opportunistic investments that larger, institutional funds typically ignore,? said Mr. Blum. ?That allows us to take a more all-encompassing approach to the search for investment properties on behalf of the fund.?
