LINCOLN EQUITIES GROUP REPORTS CONTINUED GROWTH OF ITS THIRD PARTY SERVICES DIVISION

-Turnaround Specialists with a Proven Track Record of Stabilizing, Redeveloping, Reconstructing, and Repositioning Properties Sees Significant Increase in its Clientele-

RUTHERFORD, N.J.  - Lincoln Equities Group, (LEG) a New Jersey based owner, investor and developer of commercial real estate, continues to see growth in its third party services division. LEG has historically been extremely active in providing third party services to other developers, lenders and investors. Since 1986, the firm has been providing a comprehensive array of services to third party clients, which has resulted in a stellar track record of outperforming the market in all points of the market cycle.

"In this highly challenging economic climate, LEG has seen demands for third party services increase dramatically," stated Joel Bergstein of Lincoln Equities. "What differentiates LEG from typical third party leasing and management is the hands on involvement of our senior management and their unique ability to put the needs of the clients above all else. LEG has built its reputation by performing for its select clients; this relentless focus is the cornerstone of our third party business model."

On behalf of its third-party clients, LEG has completed numerous significant turnaround assignments, from redeveloping and repositioning troubled projects to finishing the construction of stalled developments, and has a proven ability to rescue failed projects in and deliver attractive investment returns. LEG's significant turnaround projects include:

• The leasing and stabilization of over 900,000 square feet of vacant office buildings

• The repositioning of a 1 million-square-foot retail center

• The repositioning and leasing of an 820,000-square-foot complex

• The successful redevelopment of a 480,000-square-foot industrial property into a Class-A office property

• The $6 million dollar reconstruction of an underground Class-A office building parking deck

LEG's full service approach encompasses top-notch professionals in all facets of development and management. For example, LEG maintains experienced on-staff engineering and construction teams who play critical roles in upgrading properties and maximizing efficiencies, and consult on complicated acquisition, development and environmental issues. Leasing, Construction Management and Property Management work together from the very first walkthrough to satisfy the most unique leasing requirement, enabling tenants to visualize their space and understand the cost to build it, and showing tenants the outstanding level of customer service and amenity package they will experience as tenants in a LEG property.

In addition, the multi-faceted backgrounds of its professionals provide LEG with levels of in-house expertise that few firms possess, as well as an ability to integrate all of the in-house services needed to complete a project in a seamless manner. This team is responsible for the superior services, creative marketing and financial insight that have enabled LEG to significantly outperform in every market it operates in.

"The increase in demand for our third party services is a testament to our reputation for consistently being able to solve complex development, investment and operational challenges for partners and clients of LEG," stated David Weinstein of Lincoln Equities. "Now, more than ever, the stakes are higher and the tasks are more complex. It takes a focused approach and a disciplined course of action to turn around non-performing projects in this marketplace," Weinstein added.

LEG's strength as a third party service provider comes from its track record as one of the region's leading full-service real estate companies, having amassed a multi-million square-foot portfolio of diversified commercial and residential properties. To date, LEG has been responsible for nearly $1.5 billion of development projects and acquisitions, making it one of the most prolific real estate companies in the New York metropolitan region. In the last few years, LEG has been responsible for nearly 2 million square feet of commercial leasing transactions and has managed approximately 100 tenant installations and capital projects valued at over $60 million.

Finally, LEG, through its management arm, Linque Management Company Inc. (LMC), has extensive experience managing and operating Class "A" office, industrial and retail properties. Over 100 tenants in nine facilities occupy their current managed portfolio of 4.2 million square feet. LEG's in-house capabilities provide their clients and partners with comprehensive and integrated institutional financial reporting and budgeting, leasing, property management and construction management services.

In addition to LEG's U.S. operations, LEG operates an asset management division for a 5,300 unit residential portfolio in Berlin, Germany owned by LEG and its institutional partners.

LINCOLN EQUITIES GROUP TO DEVELOP 900,000 SQUARE FOOT NEW CORPORATE CAMPUS IN THE MEADOWLANDS

Lincoln Equities Group is pleased to announce its plans to build two state-of-the-art, Class A office buildings and a first class hotel on 28 acres of land in Rutherford, NJ. The site, known as Highland Cross, is in close proximity to the intersection of Routes 3 and 17 and directly across the street from the developer's signature property and corporate headquarters, the Meadows Office Complex, twin twelve story office buildings totaling 560,000 square feet. Highland Cross will be ready for occupancy in the Spring of 2001. Phase One of the plan calls for a ten story 350,000 square foot office building that will be one of the most technologically advanced buildings in the metropolitan area. Designed by the award winning architecture firm Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, the building will feature high speed voice and data systems and high-tech electrical and HVAC systems which will accommodate the needs of even the most sophisticated technology firms. In addition, a first-class 220 room hotel which will be run by a national operator will be built adjacent to building one. Phase Two will consist of a complementary office building ranging in size from 350,000 to 550,000 square feet.

"When we purchased the Meadows Office Complex in 1995, we had confidence in the market", said Joel Bergstein, Executive Vice President of Lincoln Equities Group. "Being 80% occupied at that time, it was difficult to envision additional development in the not too distant future. Given the overall strength of the market reflected by our 100% occupancy level in both buildings for the last 18 months, the dearth of new development in the Bergen County area, and our recent acquisition of these additional 28 acres, we think that now is the optimum time to embark on this project."

LINCOLN EQUITIES GROUP ANNOUNCES CORPORATE EXPANSION AND RELOCATION

Lincoln Equities Group is proud to announce that as of December 1, 1998, the firm will be relocating its corporate headquarters to and expanding its offices within the Meadows Office Complex to more than double their current size. The company has witnessed a significant increase in employees over the past year which facilitated the need for the additional office space. In 1995, the company acquired the twin 12-story buildings consisting of 280,000 square feet each. At that time a significant investment was made to upgrade building systems and infrastructure. Since the completion of those projects, the company has focused its efforts on renovations of the lobbies, bathrooms, and elevators which are already underway.

Lincoln Equities Group along with its subsidiaries, Linque Management and Linque Realty Services will now occupy close to 8,000 square feet on the ninth floor of the 301 building. "The Meadows Office Complex is the signature property in our portfolio and we are proud to be investing even more of our resources into it by making this commitment. This expansion signifies our increased capacity in the construction, development, and property management areas which will result in an even higher level of service to our current and future tenants. The quality of the construction and design of our new office space will create a more efficient working environment for our employees as well as a showcase for our construction management capabilities, " said Joel Bergstein, a principal in the firm.
