"We are continuing our strategy of building the most talented and experienced
operating team in the student housing sector," said Harries. "As a student
housing manager and service provider, our product is our talent pool. With the
addition of Rob, our campus housing management product offering, range and
ability to execute just got that much stronger."

"UCH Management Group has an amazing story and philosophy," said Martin. "We
are very well positioned to deliver a level of service to campus housing
owners, developers and investors that is in short supply nationally:
customized and focused solutions for unique situations and properties versus a
cookie-cutter student housing management approach offered by larger commodity
operators. The entrepreneurial spirit and skills of this team make for a
natural fit, and I am eager to begin contributing to the success and continued
growth of United Campus Housing Management as a student housing industry
leader."

Martin has more than 15 years of experience ranging from traditional
university housing to national REITs, working with industry leaders throughout
the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. He has been on the ground
leading transition and stabilization through some of the largest student
housing expansions in U.S. history. Martin's experience includes tenures at
American Campus Communities, College Park Communities, Campus Apartments, LLC,
and FirstWorthing. In 2007 Martin formed Campus Housing Consulting to fill the
advisory need for owners and investors entering or expanding in the student
sector.

"Rob is a perfect fit for UCH Management Group," explained Tim Roggen, Sr.
Vice President of UCHMG. "Rob's perspectives on what the student experience
should be is exactly in line with the UCH philosophy. Additionally, he has
participated and lead student operators through periods of growth, experience
that will be helpful as we continue to grow."

A graduate of Queen's University, International Study Centre with a
Certificate of International Business; Martin also earned an MBA and BA from
the University of New Brunswick where he began his student housing career as a
resident assistant in a 300 bed on campus residence hall.
