-2 - years ago on Rawaii. It's 148 units, condominiums. This one is an elderly project at Waconia, 47 units, and that was completed about 3 years ago also. This is in Edina, 200 and some odd units and that's also an elderly project. This is another project we completed in Hawaii. It's 225 units, condominiums. This is a market condominium in Rochester, 36 units. And this is an award that we received in a project in the Selby/Dale area in St. Paul.

Garym GGustafson fpm ary Gustafson with Rothchild Financial as you can see. Well, maybe you can't. Our logo up there says we're in business since 1885 so we're just about 100 years old. We're locally owned, mid- western based company. Our home office is in St. Paul and we have other offices in various cities in the mid -west and southwest Florida. Our current servicing volume mortgage bankers are judged by how much their servicing volume is. We're currently servicing 650 million for over 100 different lenders, which ranks us about 125th nationally out of 700 mortgage banking firms throughout the country. We're involved in all facets of the real estate lending business, family lending, income property loans and construction loans. Our annual originations of loans have been running approximately $150 million and we have lines of credit of about $25 million for construction lending and single family loan warehousing. We're also involved in the property management business. We employ apprixomately 100 people in the Twin City area. Very active, I have an office out in Edina. Just a few quick shots here, haven't got much time, of some of the things we've financed over the years. This happens to be a shopping center, another shopping center we've financed, that is not a subsidized project, that is a market rate housing project we've financed, another shopping center and another conventionally financed apartment building. That happens to be a family project financed with section 8 FHA insured construction loan. We've been very heavy in the FHA area, the 202's for the non -profits and have done approximately 100 multi -family projects under the FIIA housing programs. That happens to be an elderly moderate care type facility in Edina. Gary Tushie My name is Gary Tushie . I'm with Saundess.Thalden and Associates and as Steve mentioned earlier, I'm a principle with the company in charge of this office here in Minnesota. Saunders Thalden and Associates is a nation wide firm of landscape architects and planners. Minneapolis is a regional office, our home office is in St. Louis. We specialize in working for developers and that's given us the unique opportunity of doing a wide variety of types of building, from small commercial to large commercial, from resort/hotel types of projects to small motels, shopping centers, the whole gamut. And also, more specifically, the residential market. Particularly con- dominiums and subsidized housing. This particular project is a 3 story condominium, 40 unit building, out in Minnetonka, underground parking with frame construction, another one in St. Louis Park. Again, another project that's a market rate condominium project in St. Louis Park. This is an elderly highrise building in Muscatine, IA.
