SERVANT HEALTHCARE INVESTMENTS, LLC FORMS ALLIANCE WITH
CORNERSTONE REAL ESTATE FUNDS
(ORLANDO, FL) June 16, 2008 – Servant Healthcare Investments, LLC (“Servant”) is pleased to announce a
strategic alliance with Cornerstone Real Estate Funds (“Cornerstone”). Cornerstone will provide Servant with equity to
invest in a variety of healthcare real estate opportunities, both acquisition and development. Cornerstone raises its capital
through Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITS”) utilizing an extensive network of financial advisors, many of whom had
expressed a strong interest in the healthcare sector and requested a REIT offering with an attractive annual yield, along
with growth potential. The background and experience of Servant’s executive team, in the healthcare sector and with
REITS, was a key factor in Cornerstone’s pursuit of an alliance.
At the outset of their alliance discussion, they agreed that combining both companies’ investment strategies would
facilitate building a REIT offering that financial advisors have been requesting. “From the beginning, things just made
sense,” declared Terry Roussel, CEO of Cornerstone. “The property types that Servant typically focuses on usually offer
higher current yields while Cornerstone’s multi-tenant industrial properties are more growth-oriented. By forming an
alliance, both companies are able to stick to their core investment disciplines while creating a product mix that fits the
current income and growth potential needs of advisors and their clients.”
Cornerstone was seen as a natural fit for Servant, which invests funds from institutions and high-net-worth investors into
various asset classes and development opportunities. John Mark Ramsey, CEO of Servant, sees strong advantages in the
alliance. “With so many opportunities in the market right now, it makes sense to partner with Cornerstone which already
has distribution relationships with more than 10,000 financial advisors as well as many registered investment advisors,”
Mr. Ramsey stated. “Cornerstone gives us another type of capital to service our developer and owner/operator
relationships. It has been our goal since inception to offer our partners the most flexible capital alternatives and this
alliance is another quantum leap in that direction,” Mr. Ramsey added.
For nearly 20 years, Cornerstone Real Estate Funds has been helping individuals and institutions invest in real estate.
Cornerstone currently has two publicly-offered, non-traded REITs that are distributed through an extensive network of
financial advisors at independent broker-dealers and securities firms. The company prides itself on its impressive track
record, experienced management team, successful joint ventures and its proprietary Market Driven StrategyTM – a topdown,
research-driven approach that helps pinpoint ideal geographic locations for real estate investment.
Servant Healthcare is an Orlando based, real estate investment company created to invest in seniors housing and
healthcare related real estate and operations. It is led by a team of industry veterans, with experience having
previously built a portfolio consisting of over $3.5 billion in transactions encompassing approximately 275
assets. Servant’s core objective is to tailor a capital structure that complements the operating platform of
developers and owner/ operators, recognizing that each is unique in its approach and service to the healthcare
industry.
