Why Green Building Makes Financial Sense -- Pacific Security Capital Delivers Keynote Presentation at Land Development Breakthroughs Conference

Pacific Security Capital Managing Director, Theddi Wright Chappell, makes a keynote address at the Land Development Breakthroughs Conference on "How Sustainable Developments Make Greater Financial Sense."

Beaverton, OR June 29, 2006 -- http://www.pacificsecuritycapital.com -- Pacific Security Capital, a vertically integrated real estate services firm, today announced that Theddi Wright Chappell, Managing Director of its Commercial Real Estate Advisory Services business unit, will be a keynote speaker at the upcoming Land Development Breakthroughs Conference in Chicago, July 10 – 12, 2006.

Chappell, who is a LEED certified professional and has years of experience in the sustainable real estate development industry, will deliver a keynote presentation on "How Sustainable Developments Make Greater Financial Sense."

"Many people are skeptical about investing in green buildings," said Theddi Wright Chappell, "it is easy to be deterred by upfront costs without considering the great return on investment down the road."

Sustainable developments should be viewed as attractive investment opportunities because of their minimal upkeep and long term cost savings due to:
•     Water Conservation
•     Decreased utility bills
•     Better air quality
•     Energy efficiency
•     Reduced maintenance costs
•     Extended property lifecycle

Pacific Security Capital recently joined forces with sustainable development industry expert, Scott Muldavin, to form the Green Building Finance Consortium, which pools together some of the greatest minds in the real estate finance industry. The goal of this consortium is to create evaluation tools and best practices necessary for the investment community to really measure the financial value of sustainable development.

"The real estate industry is taking more and more notice when it comes to sustainable development," said Theddi Wright Chappell, "but investors are naturally looking for a way to prove that there is real value in their investment."

Join Theddi Wright Chappell in Chicago for a discussion on the value of building green.

Wednesday, July 12
12 – 12.30 pm
Trends in Project Finance: How Sustainable Developments Make Greater Financial Sense

Pacific Security Capital Principal, Simon Acheson, will also be speaking at the conference during a breakout session on "From Acquisition to Implementation: Valuable Lessons in Project Finance."

Cimarron Cove Community from Pacific Security Capital Nears Completion in Cathedral City, CA

Pacific Security Capital develops Cimarron Cove, a community focused on capturing California’s diversity – demographically, architecturally and economically.

Beaverton, OR, June 6, 2006 – http://www.pacificsecuritycapital.com – Pacific Security Capital, a vertically integrated real estate services firm, today announced that the Cimarron Cove development has only 15 of the 169 homes developed remaining for sale.

Unlike much of the property being developed in the Palm Springs area, Cimarron Cove is designed for mid-income homeowners and targets a very diverse demographic.

“Pacific Security Capital looked at the real needs of a cross section of the community and has addressed those needs with Cimarron Cove,” said Louis Swart, President of Pacific Security Capital.  “We are also focused on preserving local roots and this is why we engaged the local builder, GHA Construction.”

Cimarron Cove, which overlooks the Cimarron Golf Course and the Coachella Valley mountains, offers two product types:

• The Heritage Series (1600 – 1900 sq ft)
• The Signature Series (1800 – 2200 sq ft)

Pacific Security Capital is also versatile with its architectural options. Using the same footprint, Pacific Security Capital is able to offer different floor plan combinations (3 bedrooms or 2 master suites) to best suit the homebuyer’s particular lifestyle.

“By interspersing the different house styles throughout the community, we are trying to defy the ‘me too’ feel that many new neighborhoods possess,” said Swart.  “The layout of the Cimarron Cove community reflects the type of residents we are trying to attract – a diverse mix.”

New homes at Cimarron Cove are priced between $400,000 and $600,000.  For more information, visit http://www.cimarroncove.com/

Upon completion, Pacific Security Capital expects EdenRock to be valued in excess of $200 Million.

“We expect EdenRock to attract second home buyers from all over Southern California and the Pacific Northwest,” said Louis Swart, President of Pacific Security Capital. “EdenRock will be a high quality development that will have long lasting real estate value and will be a credit to the PGA West community.”

Pacific Security Capital plans to build 292 high-end homes at EdenRock using 3 product types:
•    88 Courtyard Homes (between 1600 & 2500 sq ft)
•    81 Manor Homes (between 2300 & 2800 sq ft)
•    128 Village Homes (between 1100 & 2300 sq ft)

Each home will have a 2-car garage plus golf cart storage. There will be a 7,000 sq ft clubhouse available to residents and the community will be gated and manned at all times.

“The name EdenRock comes from ancient Coachella Valley history,” said Swart, “500 years ago, the Cahuila Indians lived in this area and referred to it as their Garden of Eden.”
