Cityscape is an international real estate investment and development
event held in the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. Mr. Tishman, who has
extensive credentials in sustainable design, development and construction,
will participate in a panel entitled, "Cost-Effective Sustainable Design and
Development," on Monday, April 19 from 16:00 to 17:00 hours.

Mr. Tishman and the other panelists will discuss the following topics:

    - How important is sustainability to investors and end users?
    - Assessing the costs and impact on project viability
    - Strategies for cost-effective sustainable design
    - Is it happening now or in the next generation?
    - What will be the most important quality attributes of
      premium properties in the future?
    - Involvement of stakeholders to achieve sustainable cities.

"Our company is committed to sustainable design and construction for many
reasons, not the least of which is that it makes good business sense and our
clients increasingly demand it," Mr. Tishman said. "By including sustainable
design requirements in building codes and regulations from the outset, Abu
Dhabi is proving to be a leader in what will without question be a growing
trend among municipalities and governments around the world. Here in Abu
Dhabi, the Estidama Sustainable Buildings and Communities Program is making
significant strides to influence every project that is under design,
development or construction, to ensure that goals for sustainable design are
met."

Tishman Construction Leads the World in Sustainable Construction
Knowledge

Tishman Construction has built, or is now building, the world's most
innovative sustainable projects, including 7 World Trade Center, the first
commercial office tower in New York City to achieve LEED Gold certification;
1 World Trade Center, which will be New York City's tallest tower at 1,776
feet and which is pursuing LEED Gold certification; One Bryant Park in New
York City, the first skyscraper in the world designed and built to LEED
Platinum standards; and CityCenter, MGM MIRAGE's and Dubai World's
18-million-square-foot hotel, casino and retail complex in Las Vegas, which
has achieved LEED Gold certification.

Tishman also built the American Pharmacists Association's headquarters in
Washington DC and is working on the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's
5.5-million-square-foot headquarters consolidation project in Maryland, where
the company recently completed Building #1. The two projects were designed to
LEED Silver standards. However, Tishman and the design team pursued
additional LEED points on both buildings so that they both achieved LEED Gold
certification at no extra cost to the owner.
