According to James Turpen, InSite's Chief Executive Officer, the relationship with Broe will provide the additional capital and critical mass to expand its market and services, especially in acquisition, disposition and development activities.

Mr. Matthews states this is evidenced by strong demographic indicators. "Our strategy is to identify and purchase medical office buildings and management companies that fit our evolving operating businesses and markets. We think this is a powerful, strategic match."

InSite clients include large healthcare providers, hospitals and private investors. The company has attained a record of high tenant satisfaction, with ratings exceeding 85%. Meanwhile, InSite has typically been able to reduce initial tenant occupancy costs by 12-20%.
