Wall Street Journal to Feature Special REIT Section

At this year's REITWorld 2011: NAREIT's Annual Convention for All Things REIT^®, Nov. 15-17 in Dallas, we will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the beginning of the Modern REIT Era, during which we have experienced meaningful growth of our industry as well as the acceptance of REITs as a mainstream investment. As part of that celebration, The Wall Street Journal will run a special advertising section on REITs that will feature informative articles on REIT investing and also provide advertising opportunities for NAREIT members.

This multi-page section will run on Wednesday, Nov. 16, in the Money & Investing pages following the weekly Property Report. All U.S. print editions of the Journal will include this special feature, providing the opportunity to reach nearly 1.7 million of the publication's readers. Additionally, copies will be distributed at REITWorld. NAREIT has negotiated a deep discount of 60 percent off normal advertising rates for members who advertise in the section.

A representative of The Wall Street Journal may be in contact with you to discuss this initiative aimed at educating the Journal's broad and highly qualified investor audience about the REIT approach to real estate investment. If you would like more information about the initiative now, please feel free to contact Dean Grant, Regional Sales Director, at 212-597-5693, or Dean.Grant@wsj.com.

All the best,





Steven A. Wechsler
President and CEO
