"Adana Optimum is a great success for Amstar and an excellent example of
the demand for quality retail projects in undersupplied markets in Turkey.
Despite constructing and leasing during the financial crisis, the project
opened fully leased with a high-quality mix of international and domestic
tenants. We expected a strong turnout for the grand opening, but the 280,000
visitors during the first weekend far exceeded our expectations and was a
testament to the strength of our tenants and the pent-up demand for quality
retail product in the market," said Jason Lucas, president of Amstar Global
Partners.

Amstar in partnership with Renaissance developed the project, which is
located near the center of the city in a dense urban neighborhood.

Amstar and Renaissance formed a joint venture to develop projects
throughout Turkey and Russia. In addition to Adana Optimum, the partnership
has developed shopping centers in Istanbul, Turkey, and Novosibirsk, Russia,
and has a strong pipeline of future projects.
