Dear Kent:

As our first year of operations comes to a close, I would again like to commend you on the outstanding job you and your associates did at Rose Pointe. Not only were the design and construction well executed, but your maintenance of the construction schedule, cooperation with our management personnel, and your follow-up were exceptional. Your having previously constructed apartments for your own account was consistently evident in your orientation to ward long-lasting quality and your understanding of the apartment business.

From our perspective as professional managers, the construction of Rose Pointe and the transition from construction through rent-up to ongoing operation were accomplished more smoothly than nay other new project with which we have been involved. Should you ever have need of a reference, please do not hesitate to call.

Yours truly,

Donal P. Johnson, CPM
President
