		<description><![CDATA[As part of the long-term strategy to upgrade its overall portfolio with newer high-quality assets, Cousins Properties Inc. (CUZ), a Georgia-based real estate investment trust (REIT), has recently completed the acquisition of Promenade Two – a 774,000 square-foot Class-A office building in the Midtown submarket of Atlanta, Georgia, for $134.7 million in cash. The purchase price was well below the replacement cost of the property and provided a significant growth opportunity for the company with a first-class tenant base and no considerable lease expirations until 2016. In addition, with Promenade Two in its kitty, Cousins Properties presently has a sought-after asset in all three urban sub-markets along the &#8216;Peachtree Corridor&#8217; of Atlanta.

On a not-seasonally-adjusted basis, sales were just 30,000 for the month &#8212; the weakest June on record. Results by Region Regionally, based on the seasonally adjusted numbers and the revised May figures, the biggest increase was in the Northeast where sales jumped 46.4%, and were up 17.1% from a year ago.

		<description><![CDATA[Existing Home Sales rose 6.8% in March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.35 million. That rate is 16.1% higher than the 4.61 million rate of a year ago. The number was slightly better than the consensus expectations of a 5.29 million annual rate. Existing homes sales are recorded at the time of closing, not when the contract is signed. Thus while there is some impact from the tax credit that expires for houses where the contract is signed after April 30, they still have until the end of June to close. Therefore, most of the surge due to the end of the tax credit will probably come in May and June. In tomorrow’s New Home Sales data, the effect should be more pronounced for March, since new home ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’re not following the money into timberland stocks, you should. Here’s why… Timberland has outperformed the S&#38;P 500 since 1910. In recent history, timber has outperformed the market significantly. Since 1987, the NCREIF Timberland Index climbed by an average of 15% per year, compared to roughly 11% for the S&#38;P 500. Such strong outperformance boils down to one factor – biology. Biology accounts for 65% to 75% of timberland’s performance. Nothing can stop it from adding to the value of timberland investments. Come rain or shine, trees grow. And so does their value. By an average of 2% to 8% per year, in fact. Not even natural disasters can undermine timberland’s value, because companies can still sell damaged timber. For example, after Mount St. Helens erupted, nearly 80% of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cousins Properties Inc. (CUZ), a real estate investment trust (REIT), reported dismal fourth quarter 2009 results, with FFO (fund from operations) of $7.3 million or 7 cents per share, compared to $10.2 million or 20 cents per share in the year-earlier quarter. Fund from operations, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs, is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses to net income. The year-over-year decrease in FFO was primarily due to large impairment charges recorded in the quarter. Excluding the one-time charges, FFO for the quarter was $11.5 million or 11 cents per share. For full year 2009, FFO was approximately ($92) million or ($1.40) per share. Excluding the non-recurring items, FFO for full year 2009 was 50 million or 77 cents per ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cousins Properties Inc. (CUZ), a leading real estate investment trust (REIT), recently announced the layoff of 10% of its corporate staff to reduce costs amid the continued economic downturn. Fundamentals are declining in many of the company’s office markets as corporate expansion continues to slow. More and more corporations are putting off leasing decisions until the economy recovers, which is not expected to happen in the next couple of quarters. Recent employment trends are also not encouraging as the U.S. economy continues to shed jobs at a rapid pace. Till date, the U.S. lost about 6.7 million jobs since the start of recession in December 2007. The national unemployment rate also surged to 9.4%. As the U.S. economy plunges deeper into recession, office owners will have trouble holding tenants and ]]></description>

The 1990s were an ideal period to have timber as an investment: Housing was doing well, and growth was beginning to take off in major cities. The world was still pre-digital, and business still relied heavily on shuffling paper. Electronic news was still a novelty; magazines and newspapers were still going strong. What a difference a decade makes… Housing is in the dumper, with no clear sign of a resurgence on the horizon. Business has embraced the smartphone and has gone digital, shunning paper. The world is increasingly getting its news in electronic form, as ]]></description>
