union construction jobs in an area where the construction industry has been
especially hard hit by the economic downturn.</span>
<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;\">The
HIT\'s investment of<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;</span><span class=\"xn-money\">$15.8 million</span><span class=\"apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;</span>in

city serve the housing needs of low-income elderly residents. &nbsp;Built in
1968, Council Tower has 277 units of senior housing, with 90% of the units now

<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;\">\"These

<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;\">All
on-site construction work at the two properties will be performed under
collective bargaining agreements with local building and construction trades
unions, generating approximately 600 union construction jobs.</span></p>
