ITEM 8.01. Other Information

On May 25, 2006, American Land Lease, Inc. announced the acquisition of The Grove, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5 million.

The Grove, a 425 home site community in Foley, Alabama, represents a quality addition to ANL’s age-restricted portfolio of residential land lease communities. Situated between Mobile and Pensacola near the Florida/Alabama state border, this 112-acre site provides residents with a lifestyle near boating, fishing, and Gulf Shores activity areas and easy access to the Gulf of Mexico beaches, less than 10 miles away.

The gated community contains 91 occupied home sites, an additional 74 home sites that are fully developed, and an additional 260 home sites to be developed. While introducing its sales and marketing team to complete the community build out, ANL plans to build on the current quality community which includes a clubhouse, an extensive walking and biking trail, 10 acres of open space and a recreation area. The community enables ANL to continue the geographical diversification of its holdings while retaining the focus on age restricted, quality communities.
