AMERICAN REALTY ADVISORS

ACQUIRES TWO PREMIER INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

GLENDALE, Calif. -- (Market Wire) - August 15, 2008 - American Realty Advisors announced today the acquisition of two high-quality, multi-tenant industrial parks totaling 358,910 square feet. They are located in two of the nation's best performing industrial markets: the South Bay of Los Angeles and North Orange County in Southern California. Broadway Center Business Park, a 189,714 square foot four-building, industrial property located in Gardena, California, offers tenants exceptional access to Los Angeles County's ports and transportation infrastructure. Walnut Avenue Industrial Park, a 169,196 square foot six-building, multi-tenant property located in Fullerton, California, is situated at the junction of the 91 and 57 freeways and enjoys excellent functionality and close proximity to a diverse labor force. Both properties were fully leased at acquisition and have enjoyed a long history of high occupancy. These acquisitions were completed on behalf of one of American's commingled funds.

Greg Blomstrand, Principal and Managing Director of Portfolio Management, at American stated, "Los Angeles County and Orange County are two of the nation's strongest industrial markets. We believe that both properties are well-positioned to continue their solid performance due to limited land supply and construction activity, the smaller tenant nature of these properties, and the close proximity to workforce and executive housing. Each of these properties offer excellent upside opportunity to increase operating income as current below-market rents can be adjusted to market upon lease rollover. These premier industrial properties are expected to generate solid returns for our investors over the long-term."
