New York, NY - March 18, 2013 - Centerline Capital Group ("Centerline"), a
provider of real estate financial and asset management services for affordable
and conventional multifamily housing, and a subsidiary of Centerline Holding
Company (OTC: CLNH), announced today it has provided three Fannie Mae loans that
total $14.3 million to facilitate the acquisition of one property and refinance
two multifamily properties in the Midwest.

The three loans were sourced and secured by the Centerline team based in Chicago
and include:

  * Arcade Estates West.  Centerline provided a $4.2 million Fannie Mae loan to
    refinance the initial construction loan for Arcade Estates West, a newly
    constructed, 84-unit garden apartment complex located in Vadnais Heights,  
    Minnesota.



  The property is comprised of 14, 2-story townhome style apartment buildings
that were built between 2009 and 2012. The borrower is Arcade Estates West, LLC,
a single-purpose single-asset entity formed to acquire, own and manage the
property. Arcade Estates West is owned by Patrick and Carol Goff of Goff Homes,
Inc.



  Commenting on partnering with Centerline to secure the financing, Pat Goff,
Managing Director noted, "Working with Centerline was a pleasure. They kept the
process moving along very well and the end result is great.  They did a great
job and I am more than satisfied."



  Project amenities include a clubhouse/leasing office, attached garages, gazebo
area, walking trail and a playground.



  * Brighton Square.  Brighton Square is a 122-unit garden apartment community
    that is located in Madison, Wisconsin.  Centerline provided a Fannie Mae
    loan facility in the amount of $4.9 million to facilitate the acquisition of
    the property by Ansonia Properties, LLC for a purchase price of $6.3
    million.



  The complex includes seven, two- and three-story apartment buildings that were
built in 1972. Property amenities include a leasing office, laundry facilities
and large storage closets in the basement of each building. Unit amenities
include fully equipped kitchens with refrigerator, oven/range and disposal.



  Approximately 101 of the unit kitchens have been renovated, and the borrower
plans to continue the renovation project and update the remaining units. In
addition, Brighton Square has good visibility and drive-by appeal.



  * Oak Knoll.  Centerline provided a $5.2 million Fannie Mae loan to refinance
    Oak Knoll, a multifamily property located in Cary, Illinois.  The garden
    style apartment complex comprises 100 units in four, two-story residential
    buildings.  Oak Knoll was constructed in 1966 and renovated between 2007 and
    2012.



  The borrower is Greenspire Capital, LLC, a single asset entity, Illinois
Limited Liability Company formed in November 2011. Since purchasing the property
in November 2011, the borrower has completed $172,000 in capital expenditures
and has an additional $199,400 underway.



  Steve Cain, Principal with Greenspire Capital, said, "Centerline worked
tirelessly to keep the loan process on track and was instrumental in getting the
deal closed on time with a minimum of difficulty before the end of 2012. We were
very happy to work with them to arrange the financing."



  Property amenities include laundry facilities and a swimming pool. The
swimming pool is in the process of being decommissioned and replaced with a
splash pad.

"Oak Knoll, Brighton Square and Arcade Estates West were three solid deals for
Centerline," commented Adam Klingher, Senior Vice President at Centerline.  "The
properties are all in good condition, are well-managed, and enjoy very high
occupancy rates.  We were pleased these loans came together so well and were
able to deliver on each of these financings."

Centerline's team, including Klingher and Brooke Jackson, were instrumental in
arranging and closing these three transactions.
