Tampa-area Purchases Provide Southeastern Developer Opportunity for More
Local Projects
TAMPA, Fla., April 2, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 19, Phillips
Development & Realty, LLC (PDR) purchased two sites in the Brandon and
Riverview, Fla., submarkets for the development of two distinct, Class-A
apartment communities: Phillips Delaney Creek and Phillips Magnolia Park.
Both sites give PDR the opportunity to further enhance its presence
locally. With projects spanning the Southeast, Managing Director Donald
Phillips says PDR relishes opportunities to develop quality products in
close proximity to its Tampa headquarters.

"The Tampa-area rental market is growing significantly despite softness
in other sectors," said Phillips. "PDR is surging forward with local rental
projects while others might be waiting due to downward trends in
condominium and new-home sales."
PDR anticipates steady population and economic growth in the Brandon
and Riverview regions within the next three to five years. The purchased
sites are in close proximity to the Port of Tampa, which continues to be
the largest economic engine in West Central Florida. The locations offer
convenient highway access to the Lee Roy Selmon Crosstown Expressway,
Interstate 75, US 301 and Interstate 4. PDR expects both communities to
draw residents working in Florida's Brandon, Riverview, Downtown Tampa and
Apollo Beach communities.
"The superior location, product positioning and low land basis of these
new developments will give PDR a competitive advantage against other new
apartment communities in the Brandon area," said PDR Acquisition Associate,
Andy DiBlasi. "Both communities will be outstanding additions to the area."
Specific project details are as follows:
Phillips Delaney Creek

Phillips Magnolia Park
Land Lender: Fifth Third Bank
Projected Cost: $31 million
