ITEM 8.01. Other Information

On March 17, 2006, American Land Lease, Inc. announced the acquisition of The Reserve at Fox Creek, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11 million.

The Reserve at Fox Creek, a 312 home site community in Bullhead City, Arizona, in northwest Arizona across the Colorado River from Laughlin, Nevada, represents a quality addition to ANL’s age-restricted portfolio of residential land lease communities. Situated overlooking the Colorado River basin near the Arizona/Nevada state border, this 56-acre site provides residents with a life style near boating, mountains and Nevada gaming activities while having easy access to Las Vegas, just 100 miles away.

The gated community contains 205 occupied home sites and an additional 107 home sites that are fully developed. ANL plans to build on the current quality community, which includes a clubhouse, 10 acres of open space, nature trails and a recreation area and introduce its sales and marketing team to complete the community build-out. Named by the Manufactured Housing Institute as the “Land Lease Community of the Year Over 150 Sites (West)” in 2003, the community enables ANL to expand its Arizona holdings beyond the Phoenix area but retains the focus on age restricted, quality communities.
