CONSOLIDATED CAPITAL GROWTH FUND

SUITE 1100
DENVER, COLORADO 80237
Dear Limited Partner:
     We are sending you this information statement to inform you that ConCap Equities, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the general partner (the “General Partner”) of Consolidated Capital Growth Fund, a California limited partnership (the “Partnership”), has agreed to sell the Partnership’s apartment complex known as The Lakes Apartments, located in Raleigh, North Carolina (the “Property”) to Northview Realty Group, Inc., a Canadian corporation (the “Buyer”), an unaffiliated third party, for $31,500,000 (less lender fees and penalties required to prepay the existing loan encumbering the Property). The transaction will involve the payment in full, out of the purchase price, of approximately $15,784,902 (estimated balance as of February 29, 2008) outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of the loan encumbering the Property.
     Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the consent of the General Partner and holders of a majority of the outstanding units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership (“Units”) is required to approve the sale of the Property. As of May 1, 2008, 49,191 Units were issued and outstanding. As of May 1, 2008, Aimco Properties, L.P. and its affiliates owned 33,133.75, or approximately 67.36%, of the outstanding Units. Aimco Properties, L.P. and its affiliates will vote their Units in favor of the sale. Accordingly, approval of the sale is assured. We are providing the attached Information Statement in order to notify you of the background and terms of the sale.
     After the sale closes, we estimate that there will be approximately a total of $11,031,966, or $224 per Unit, in distributions (net of estimated nonresident withholding tax) to distribute to the limited partners. This estimate assumes that the sale of the Property is consummated as of February 29, 2008. This is an estimate, and as explained below, is based upon a number of assumptions.
     We expect an initial distribution to the limited partners will occur within approximately 90 days after the sale closes with a final distribution, if funds remain, upon the completion of the Partnership’s dissolution in accordance with the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement and applicable law. This Information Statement contains information about the sale and the reasons the General Partner has decided that the sale is in the best interests of the limited

partners. The General Partner has conflicts of interest in the sale as described in greater detail herein.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU

     The date of this information statement is May 7, 2008.

  dissolved and its affairs wound up as required by Article IX of the Partnership’s Amended Limited Partnership Agreement, dated February 10, 1977, as amended on May 23, 1977, July 15, 1985, October 23, 1990, November 14, 1990 and December 22, 2005 (the “Partnership Agreement”). See “Plans After the Sale,” “Legal Proceedings” and “Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
REASONS FOR THE SALE
     The General Partner has determined that the sale of the Property is in the best interests of the limited partners after considering a number of factors, including the following:
    The Property was completed in 1972, and given its age, the Property probably will require substantial capital expenditures in the future (including with respect to the sub floors which are likely to require substantial work in the near future at significant cost), for which existing reserves will not be adequate.
 
    The tax benefits of continued investment in the Property have been substantially eliminated for most limited partners due principally to declining depreciation deductions from the property.
 
    For the foreseeable future, the partnership may generate taxable income but may not distribute sufficient cash to limited partners to pay resulting tax liabilities.
 
    The Partnership has not made any distributions from operations to the limited partners since at least 2005. During the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership did distribute the remaining proceeds from the 2003 sale of Doral Springs and proceeds from the September 2007 refinancing of the Property.
 
    The Raleigh, North Carolina rental market is stagnant, resulting in unchanged rental rates while expenses related to the Property, including maintenance and repair, continue to increase.
 
    6,300 units are under construction, which is the largest number under construction since 2001, and there are almost 5,000 proposed units, which could be built in the near future.
     For these reasons and others that were considered by the General Partner in arriving at its decision, the General Partner has approved the sale and the Agreement, and, as described more fully below, limited partners affiliated with the General Partner holding a majority of the Units also approved the sale and the Agreement.
THE SALES PROCESS
     In 2008, the Partnership, hired Holliday Fenoglio, L.P., a national real estate brokerage firm, to market the Property. They marketed the Property nationally to prospective buyers known

5


Table of Contents

to be interested in the acquisition of multifamily housing projects similar to the Property. Approximately one hundred twenty offering memorandums were sent to prospective buyers of the Property. The broker received offers from eight potential purchasers. We evaluated prospective purchasers and offers in terms of price offered, feasibility of the proposed transaction, credibility of the prospective purchaser and ability of the prospective purchaser to close. We chose to accept the offer by the Buyer described in this information statement based on these criteria. Neither the General Partner nor its affiliates bid on the Property.
     The Partnership and the Buyer executed the initial purchase agreement on March 20, 2008. On April 21, 2008, the Buyer delivered written notice of its election to terminate the initial purchase agreement.  Pursuant to its terms, the initial purchase agreement was thereby terminated. On May 1, 2008, the Partnership and the Buyer executed that certain First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Contract whereby the initial purchase agreement was reinstated with the a new Feasibility Period expiration date of May 9, 2008 and a new closing date of May 29, 2008. The purchase price for the Property is $31,500,000.
THE BUYER
     Northview Realty Group, Inc., which is not affiliated with the Partnership, agreed to acquire the Property through an arms-length negotiation. Northview Realty Group, Inc. has an office located at 550 Sherbrooke, Suite 1480, Montreal, QC, Canada H3A 1B9. The phone number for Northview Realty Group, Inc. is (514) 904-0124. The Buyer may assign its rights to acquire the Property to its affiliates so long as Buyer is not released from its liability under the Agreement and Buyer provides written notice to the Partnership of any proposed assignment no later than 10 days prior to the closing date. The Buyer and its affiliates are in the business of operating residential rental housing. The Buyer or its affiliates have informed us that they plan to operate the Property following the sale.
THE PROPERTY
     The Partnership has owned and operated the Property, a 600-unit apartment complex located in Raleigh, North Carolina, since May 1988. The Property (together with the Partnership’s cash on hand) constitutes 100% of the Partnership’s total outstanding assets. There is a first mortgage loan on the Property with an unpaid principal balance and accrued interest of approximately $15,784,902 as of February 29, 2008. The loan encumbering the Property will be pre-paid in full at the closing. The Partnership has other indebtedness of approximately $356,250.
NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED BY THE GENERAL PARTNER
     The General Partner did not explore any other alternatives to selling the Property.
APPROVAL OF THE SALE
     The General Partner approved the sale and determined that it is in the best interests of the Partnership and the limited partners.

Table of Contents

     Section 2.01 of the Partnership Agreement, permits the General Partner to cause the Partnership to sell in a single sale substantially all of the properties originally acquired by the Partnership with the approval of the limited partners holding a majority of the then outstanding Units.
     As of May 1, 2008, the Partnership has approximately 1,632 limited partners who collectively own 49,191 outstanding Units. Each Unit represents approximately .002% of the outstanding Units. As of May 1, 2008, affiliates of the General Partner owned 33,133.75 Units, or 67.36% of the outstanding Units. On May 1, 2008, the affiliates of the General Partner holding 67.36% of the Units gave their written consent approving and approving the sale and the Agreement. The following limited partners executed such written consent:

(1)   AIMCO Properties, L.P. is the operating partnership of Apartment Investment and Management Company (“Aimco”). The general partner of AIMCO Properties, L.P. is AIMCO-GP, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aimco. Through AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP, Inc., which is also a wholly owned subsidiary of Aimco, Aimco owns approximately 91% of AIMCO Properties, L.P. Together, Aimco and AIMCO Properties, L.P. directly or indirectly own 100% of AIMCO IPLP, L.P. and Madison River Properties LLC.
     Upon the execution of such written consent, the holders of a majority of the Units approved the sale and the Agreement, and, as a result, no vote of any other Unit holder will be necessary to approve the sale or the Agreement. Accordingly, the Partnership is not soliciting any other votes. In addition, the written consent authorizes the Partnership, in its discretion, to reduce the gross purchase price for the Property up to 10% and make any other amendments to the Agreement (including, without limitation, the closing date, due diligence duties and closing conditions) which, in the Partnership’s opinion, are necessary, appropriate or desirable in

connection with the sale and that do not materially and adversely affect the Partnership. Such written consent will have an effective date of May 28, 2008, which is twenty days after the mailing of this information statement. This information statement shall constitute notice to the limited partners of the Partnership with respect to this matter as required by Article XI of the Partnership Agreement.
PARTNER PROPOSALS
     In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership does not have annual meetings. Thus, there is no deadline for submitting partner proposals as set forth in Rule 14a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The limited partners may call a special meeting to vote upon matters permitted by the Partnership Agreement with the prior consent of at least 10% of the outstanding Units.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     Certain statements made herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are indicated by words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates” and similar words or phrases. Such statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements include the ability of the local general partners to sell the underlying properties on economically advantageous terms, real estate and general economic conditions in the markets in which the properties are located and changes in federal and state tax laws that may create tax disadvantages for certain distributions, some of which may be beyond our control. Given these uncertainties, limited partners are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE SALE
     The General Partner has conflicts of interest with respect to the sale. A general partner generally is liable for all recourse debts and other liabilities of a partnership when the partnership’s assets are insufficient. A sale of the Property reduces the General Partner’s liability for existing and future Partnership debt and liabilities. As noted above, Aimco Properties, an affiliate of the General Partner, and its affiliates, own 67.36% of the Units of the Partnership. In addition, the special limited partners, which are affiliates of Aimco Properties and the General Partner, will receive an estimated $1,898,445 (net of estimated withholding tax) from the sales proceeds, assuming the closing of the sale occurred as of February 29, 2008, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

USE OF PROCEEDS
     We estimate that we will use the gross proceeds from the sale as follows (subject, however, to such reductions in the purchase price and reallocations in the proceeds as determined by the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion, to address objections made by the Buyer to the condition of the Property):

     For North Carolina income tax purposes, the Partnership is generally required to withhold a tax from each nonresident Partner’s distributive share of North Carolina taxable income (after taking into account allowances for personal and dependency exemptions of the nonresident Partner). The withholding tax is not generally imposed with respect to the distributive share of a Partner that is a resident individual, estate or trust or an entity exempt from North Carolina income tax, such as a non-profit organization or a C corporation. A nonresident Partner filing an North Carolina income tax return may claim a credit for any tax withheld by the Partnership with respect to such Partner. Each Partner is urged to consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding whether such Partner may be entitled to claim a refund of any North Carolina taxes withheld by the Partnership on behalf of such Partners.
     In addition, the sale of the Property may require the General Partner to escrow part of the proceeds from the sale for some period of time if the General Partner agrees with the Buyer to do so.
     These estimates assume that the closing of the sale occurred as of February 29, 2008, and are based on information known to the General Partner at this time. These figures will adjust based upon the fact that closing will occur after February 29, 2008. Of course, many factors could cause the actual use of proceeds to vary from these estimates, including delays or unforeseen complications with the closing or contingent liabilities of the Partnership.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
     The tax consequences to you of a sale of the Property may be significant. The following discussion briefly summarizes the typical material aspects of the federal income tax consequences for the limited partners that should be considered in connection with the sale; however, the tax consequences to you could be materially different for a variety of reasons. The discussion is based on current law, which is subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect), and does not consider state, local and foreign income tax aspects of the sale. For purposes of this tax discussion, references to “I.R.C. Section” are to sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT ADDRESS SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RULES APPLICABLE TO LIMITED PARTNERS THAT ARE TAX-EXEMPT OR FOREIGN ENTITIES.
     EACH LIMITED PARTNER SHOULD CONSULT AND MUST RELY UPON HIS, HER OR ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND FULLY THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND ESTATE AND GIFT TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM, HER OR IT ARISING FROM THE SALE.
     Tax Consequences if the Property is Sold. The General Partner estimates that a typical limited partner will recognize total taxable income from the sale of the Property of approximately $279 per Unit. The total taxable income is estimated to consist of “unrecaptured I.R.C. Section 1250 gain” that will be taxed at a maximum 25% rate to an individual limited partner of $126 per Unit, long-term capital gain of $264 per Unit, an ordinary loss of $23 per Unit and, when the Partnership completely terminates, a capital loss of approximately $88 per Unit (for Units that have not been adjusted on account of a sale or death) on account of syndication fees that are nondeductible at the Partnership level.
     The Partnership will recognize gain from the sale of the Property to the extent that the amount the Partnership realizes from that sale exceeds its adjusted basis in the Property. The Partnership’s amount realized from the sale includes the sum of cash it receives from Buyer plus the fair market value of any property it receives other than money. If Buyer assumes or takes the Property subject to liabilities which encumber the Property, the face amount of those liabilities also is included in the Partnership’s amount realized as though Buyer had made a cash payment to the Partnership in the same amount. Selling expenses of the Partnership, such as brokerage commissions, legal fees, and title costs, reduce the Partnership’s amount realized. Any gain recognized by the Partnership will be allocated to the partners, including the limited partners, in accordance with the Partnership agreement. The amount of selling expenses is an estimate based on a number of assumptions with respect to closing costs discussed under “Use of Proceeds.”
     To the extent that a partnership is not a “dealer” with respect to a property, any gain in excess of “depreciation recapture gain” (discussed below) and “unrecaptured I.R.C. Section 1250 gain” (discussed below) generally will be taxed as gain arising from the sale of property used in the partnership’s trade or business under I.R.C. Section 1231 (“I.R.C. Section 1231 gain”). Each limited partner will be allocated its share of the Partnership’s I.R.C. Section 1231 gain, if any. In general, if the combination of all I.R.C. Section 1231 gains and losses of a particular limited partner for a taxable year results in a net gain, all of such gains and losses will be characterized as long-term capital gains and losses. If the combination results in a net loss, all of such gains

10


Table of Contents

and losses will be characterized as ordinary gains and losses. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, gains from the sale or exchange of I.R.C. Section 1231 property, if any, will be treated as ordinary gains to the extent of a limited partner’s unrecaptured net I.R.C. Section 1231 losses for the five most recent prior years. As a result, all or a portion of any I.R.C. Section 1231 gain, if any, from the sale of the Partnership’s property allocated to a limited partner may be treated as ordinary income, rather than long-term capital gain, if the limited partner has had net I.R.C. Section 1231 losses in prior years.
     Under I.R.C. Section 1245, gain, if any, recognized by the Partnership from the sale of any of its depreciable or amortizable personal property and certain statutorily designated real property, i.e., “depreciation recapture gain,” is re-characterized as ordinary income and will be allocated to the partners as such. The amount of the Partnership’s depreciation recapture gain equals the amount by which the lower of the (i) amount realized or (ii) recomputed basis (i.e., the property’s basis plus all amounts allowed or allowable for depreciation) of the transferred property exceeds that property’s adjusted basis.
     Under I.R.C. Section 1250, no portion of the gain recognized by the Partnership upon the disposition of its residential rental real property generally is re-characterized as ordinary income because such property is depreciated using the straight-line method. However, under I.R.C. Section 291(a)(1), a portion of a corporation’s capital gain from the disposition of residential rental real property is re-characterized as ordinary income. The portion that is re-characterized equals 20% of the amount that would have been treated as ordinary income under I.R.C. Section 1245 if the transferred property were I.R.C. Section 1245 property (which generally would be all depreciation deductions previously claimed). Therefore, under I.R.C. Section 291(a)(1), corporate limited partners of the Partnership may recognize ordinary income upon a disposition of the Partnership’s residential rental real property.
     In the case of limited partners of the Partnership that are individuals, estates, or trusts, the application of I.R.C. Section 1250 will not require those taxpayers to recognize gain taxable as ordinary income; however, those limited partners may be allocated gain from the Partnership’s sale of the property that is taxed as “unrecaptured I.R.C. Section 1250 gain.” Unrecaptured I.R.C. section 1250 gain generally is equal to the gain on the sale of real property that is attributable to straight-line depreciation. The maximum federal tax rate at which unrecaptured I.R.C. Section 1250 gain currently is 25%.
     In the case of limited partners that are individuals, trusts, or estates, gain from the sale of the Partnership’s property that is not taxed as ordinary income or as unrecaptured I.R.C. Section 1250 gain generally is taxed at a current maximum capital gains tax rate of 15%. Gain from the sale of the Partnership’s property that is allocated to limited partners that are corporations is not subject to preferential capital gains tax rates.
     If a limited partner possesses suspended tax losses, tax credits, or other items of tax benefit, such items may be used to reduce any tax liability that arises with respect to any gain resulting from the sale of the Partnership’s property and allocated to that limited partner. The determination of whether a limited partner possesses suspended tax losses, tax credits, or other items of tax benefit that may reduce any gain resulting from the sale will depend upon each

11


Table of Contents

limited partner’s individual circumstances. Limited partners are urged to consult with their tax advisors in this regard.
     Distributions of Cash. A distribution of cash by the Partnership to a limited partner will be treated as an amount realized from a sale of the limited partner’s interest in the Partnership and will result in taxable gain only to the extent that the distribution exceeds the limited partner’s adjusted tax basis in his, her or its Partnership interest. Otherwise, distributions will be tax free, and the adjusted basis of the limited partner’s Partnership interest will be decreased, but not below zero.
     Generally, any gain recognized by a limited partner arising from a cash distribution by the Partnership will be capital gain. Nevertheless, to the extent that a portion of that gain is attributable to “unrealized receivables” of the Partnership, including depreciation recapture, or to certain inventory items described in I.R.C. Section 751, such gain will be taxed as ordinary income. The General Partner does not believe that any portion of a limited partner’s gain will be taxable as ordinary income under I.R.C. Section 751.
     Proceeds available for distribution to the limited partners from the sale of the Property after repayment of the Partnership’s debts may be less than the gain recognized by the Partnership (as a result of the sale) that is allocable to the partners, gain recognized by the partners as a result of any cash distributions (including deemed distributions of cash as a result of a reduction in a limited partner’s share of Partnership liabilities) from the Partnership, and any tax liability resulting from the foregoing. Accordingly, limited partners may be required to use funds from sources other than the Partnership in order to pay any tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the recognition of gain.
     Tax Consequences if the Property is Not Sold. The Property has been substantially depreciated for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, it is possible that continued operation of the Property may generate taxable income to the limited partners unless there is adequate depreciation and other deductions equal to or greater than the income generated from the Property. Limited partners may be required to use funds from sources other than the Partnership in order to pay any tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the Partnership’s continued operation of the Property. The Partnership also will continue to incur the administrative costs of operating the Partnership, including the cost of preparing and filing a Partnership tax return and it will continue to receive management fees. If a limited partner possesses suspended tax losses, tax credits or other items of tax benefit, such items may potentially be used to reduce any tax liability that arises with respect to any taxable net income as a result of the continued operation of the Property by the Partnership. Limited partners are urged to consult their tax advisors in this regard.
NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS
     Limited partners are not entitled to dissenters’ appraisal rights under applicable law or the Partnership Agreement in connection with the sale of the Property.

PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS
     The Partnership is a publicly held limited partnership organized under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended, on December 20, 1976. ConCap Equities, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is the General Partner of the Partnership. The General Partner is a subsidiary of Aimco, a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2020, unless terminated before such date.
     The Partnership’s primary business is to operate and hold real estate properties for investment. The Partnership, through its public offering of Units, sold 49,196 Units aggregating $49,196,000. The General Partner owns a 0.2% interest in the Partnership. Since its initial offering, the General Partner has not received, nor are the limited partners required to make, additional capital contributions.
     The Partnership originally acquired four apartment properties with the funds obtained from proceeds of its public offering. The Partnership sold Breckenridge Square Apartments in January 2003, Churchill Park Apartments in July 2003, and Doral Springs in September 2003. The Partnership continues to hold, own and operate the Property.
     The Partnership has no employees. Management and administrative services are performed by the General Partner and by agents retained by the General Partner. An affiliate of the General Partner provides such property management services.
     The General Partner intends to maximize the operating results and, ultimately, the net realizable value of the Partnership’s assets in order to maximize the return for the limited partners. Such results may best be achieved by holding and operating the properties or through property sales or exchanges, refinancings, debt restructurings or relinquishment of the assets. The Partnership evaluates each of its holdings periodically to determine the most appropriate strategy for each of the assets.
