CRG West Announces the Acquistion of Two New Properties.

427 LaSalle in Chicago and 70 Innerbelt in Boston

Centralized Carrier-Neutral Meet-Me Room to Be Established at 427 South LaSalle along with Much Awaited Expansion of Carrier-Neutral Data Center Capacity in Boston

LOS ANGELES -- CRG West and The Carlyle Group are pleased to announce

the acquisition of two new carrier-neutral data centers - 427 LaSalle in Chicago and the 70 Innerbelt in Boston. This acquisition of strategic properties in the Midwest, and along the Eastern Seaboard, expands CRG West's national footprint and allows CRG West to meet the demand for high-quality colocation space throughout the country.

70 Innerbelt is located at 70 Innerbelt Road in Somerville, Massachusetts and is less than two miles from downtown Boston and Cambridge. The 276,000-square-foot building boasts outstanding power capabilities, ceiling heights exceeding sixteen feet and exceptional floor-loading capabilities.

Developed in 1969 and significantly renovated in 2000, the facility enables CRG West to offer more than 170,000 square feet of colocation space in phased construction and is expected to open in the third quarter of 2007. Upon opening, 70 Innerbelt will be ideally suited to accommodate regional universities, financial services firms and enterprises demanding data center space capable of handling high-density server applications.

With a robust set of tier-1 and tier-2 carriers already providing diverse fiber routes into the facility, customers of 70 Innerbelt will have the infrastructure and access to Boston's primary metro fiber routes. Additionally, the installation of first-class electrical and cooling infrastructure will provide the equipment efficiency and density demanded by today's enterprises.

"70 Innerbelt presented an excellent opportunity to purchase a large asset with excellent fiber connectivity and the infrastructure base to support a first-class data center. Companies will find 70 Innerbelt to be an excellent choice in a market that lacks high-quality, carrier-neutral data center space close to the Central Business District," said David W. Dunn, senior vice president, CRG West.

In Chicago, 427 LaSalle was originally designed and built by Western Union and has been a central point for communications in the central United States since 1916. The facility is situated across from One Financial Plaza and adjacent to the Chicago Board of Trade.
