Press Release Summary = The All Size Storage facility in Elk Grove, Calif. sold
quickly and profitably thanks to the collaborative approach of Marcus & Millichap
agents across the country.

Press Release Body = TAMPA, FL - July 5, 2007 - Marcus & Millichap\'s national
platform has paid off for its clients once again, connecting an East Coast client to
a West Coast property in a $7.35 million sale. Marcus & Millichap\'s The Mele Group,
in cooperation with Bobby Loeffler in Sacramento, brokered the sale of All Size
Storage in Elk Grove, Calif.

Michael A. Mele and The Mele Group Investment Associate Scott Rutherford joined
forces with Bobby Loeffler, Director of the National Self Storage Group at Marcus &
Millichap, combining their self-storage expertise and investor connections to ensure
the All Size Storage property earned top dollar in the competitive California
market.

\"The All Size Storage property was a prime acquisition as it is quickly approaching
stabilization and offers Class A construction quality,\" said Michael, who is also
president of the Florida Self Storage Association. \"Although there are markets in
California that are overbuilt, this Elk Grove facility assures the investor a
strategic advantage with little competition.\"

All Size Storage is located in one of the fastest growing cities in high-growth
California. The property is a strategic infill project in Laguna with freeway
visibility. All Size boasts 387 units with sizes ranging from 5X5 to 12X40 in a
facility totaling 80,489 rentable square feet. Built in 2007 on 4.39 acres, this
eight-building-plus-office complex offers ample parking with 200 feet of street
frontage. \"All Size Storage offered investors a gem of a location in a California
market that has scared less educated investors away,\" Loeffler said. \"With its
diverse unit mix and the sheer size of the facility, All Size is sure to meet the
market demands for storage in this area.\"

All Size Storage\'s developers bore the burden of high impact fees and high developer
fees to secure the location and satisfy local government. These high fees raise a
high barrier to entry for developers who may not be willing to take the risk,
especially with a formidable competitor in All Size that is now entrenched in the
market. The state-of-the-art facility secured a dominant position in the market
before its doors ever opened, a desirable quality in the eyes of investors. \"All
Size Storage offered an attractive opportunity for the right investor based on
location and construction alone,\" Rutherford said. \"But the fact that impact and
development fees prohibit new competition from locating with a three-mile radius
made this a steal at the asking price.\"

All Size sold for $91.32 per net rentable square foot at a CAP rate of 7.03%.
According to Mele,
the long-term prospects for this facility make it sure to appreciate in value even
quicker than other facilities in the region: \"There\'s a lesson here for investors:
market conditions are never too volatile to buy the right property.\"
