ORLANDO, Fla. (January 18, 2005) – CNL Income Properties, Inc. today announced it has committed to acquire a majority interest in certain real estate at Dallas Market Center, the world’s largest wholesale merchandise mart.

“Dallas Market Center plays a vital role in the Dallas economy and has a strong and long-standing reputation among merchandise retailers and buyers,” said R. Byron Carlock, president of CNL Income Properties, which primarily invests in recreation and lifestyle-related real estate. “We are pleased to invest in this business that we believe will continue to grow under the leadership of the trade industry’s premier partners.”

CNL Income Properties and the facility’s current ownership group, Dallas Market Center Company, Ltd., an affiliate of Crow Holdings, plan to create a partnership that will own certain real estate and leasehold improvements, including 4.8 million square feet of property at the World Trade Center, the Dallas Trade Mart and the International Floral and Gift Center; it will also own a leasehold interest in Market Hall. It is expected that the partnership will create two long-term master leases on the property with the existing management company, Market Center Management Company, Ltd., an operating company with a 45-year history owned by Crow Holdings. Market Center Management Company will continue to manage the business, including the tenant relationships and trade shows.

Capital invested in the new partnership will total approximately $249 million, including $160 million in existing debt and $89 million in equity. The agreement calls for CNL Income Properties to invest up to $71 million cash for a majority interest in the equity of the new partnership. Banc of America Securities serves as a financial advisor to CNL Income Properties in the pending transaction. There can be no assurance that this transaction will be consummated*.

The property to be acquired includes the World Trade Center, a 3.1 million square-foot wholesale marketplace that features gifts, home accents, rugs, fabric, jewelry, toys, home textiles, apparel and accessories. Five floors of the World Trade Center were recently transformed into FashionCenterDallas^TM, a state-of-the-art wholesale mart that houses 550 permanent showrooms and more than 650 temporary exhibitors devoted to men’s, women’s and children’s apparel.

“Our partnership with Dallas Market Center is a good fit with our investment strategy,” said Carlock. “We’re focused on this country’s most prominent demographic influence – baby boomers – who, we believe, will be spending even more of their time and income on themselves and their families as they continue to mature. We believe boutique and specialty shopping will be a big part of that trend, and as the largest and busiest wholesale resource to this industry in the world, Dallas Market Center will play a pivotal role in meeting the needs of this growing demographic group.”
