COLUMBUS NOVA REAL ESTATE ACQUISITION GROUP

Columbus Nova Real Estate Acquisition Group (CRAG) provides structuring

and advisory solutions for corporations interested in monetizing their real

estate holdings or expanding operations without the ownership of real estate.

CRAG is the investment advisor to, and manager of, the

Columbus Nova Real Estate Equity Fund I & II (REEF I & II), discretionary

equity funds formed to invest in middle market sale/leaseback transactions

nationwide and in warehouses and distribution centers in port cities in the

Southeast.

CRAG is headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., and has affiliate offices in New York and Los Angeles.

We are not a broker. We are principal investors who offer unparalleled advice and committed capital to our corporate clients who are exploring the monetization of their real estate holdings or the expansion of their operations.

Our clients are typically corporations, private equity groups, turnaround firms, investment banks, commercial banks, accounting and law firms. We have worked with a variety of industries and credit situations and have an experienced bench of structuring professionals that can dovetail our funding into any capital structure.

We are a relationship-oriented investment group that is large enough to offer the sophistication and execution skills that our clients expect, yet small enough to treat each transaction with the highest level of senior support and oversight.

Certainty of Execution:

We are all-cash buyers of real estate, with no financial contingencies. Our commitment is due diligence up front. The management group has never in its history retraded a counterparty on a transaction.

Elimination of Real Estate Risk:

Our financial strength and experience enable us to lock in pricing in turbulent real estate, interest rate or credit environments. This eliminates exposure associated with "best efforts" approaches often used by brokers, advisors or other intermediaries.

Streamlined Closing Process:

We use market-tested lease and asset purchase documents which have been developed, tested and refined through multiple transactions.

Seasoned Professionals:

Our team of senior level professionals with decision-making authority lead the client through the entire process, from the initial marketing through underwriting and closing.
