KDA Holdings Launches Development Services Division
Programs Enable Aggressive Expansion with Minimum Capital Outlay

ATLANTA, GA – February 24, 2003 – KDA Holdings, one of the nation’s premier professional services firms specializing in growth strategies for the financial and healthcare markets, has launched a Development Services Division to augment its portfolio of services. A pioneer in the concept of total business solutions, KDA has provided consult/design/build solutions for over 400 clients throughout the United States over the last two decades.

Guided by vast expertise in corporate finance, combined with frontline experience in financial services, KDA’s Development team brings clarity to what can be one of the more challenging aspects of facility development. KDA offers a range of innovative financing and ownership options designed to conserve capital, balance multiple interests, and catalyze growth strategies:

• Build-to-Suit Development – Enabling clients to secure the best real estate at the best price, build-to-suit development delivers a project that is designed to the client’s specifications and efficiently financed through a long-term lease with KDA.

• Sale/Leasebacks – Sale/leasebacks allow businesses to evaluate sale prospects for their real estate portfolios, thereby unlocking capital for more efficient use, such as equipment upgrades or new construction.

• Development Joint Ventures – Joint venture arrangements provide an ideal solution for clients who desire partial ownership in a real estate project, but wish to avoid the full capital commitment.

“The trend of rapid consolidation in financial services has positioned regional and community banks and credit unions for extraordinary growth,” said David Dupuy, President of KDA’s Development Division. “Drawing from a portfolio of flexible ownership structures that includes sale/leaseback, build-to-suit, and development joint ventures, KDA provides a $0 turnkey development package that lets you retain maximum asset control and reap maximum growth results.”
