ITEM 8.01. Other Events of Importance to Security Holders

On July 27, 2006, American Land Lease, Inc. announced the acquisition of Park Place at Sebastian, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $30 million.

Park Place, a 465 home site community in Sebastian, Florida, on the state’s Treasure Coast, represents a quality addition to ANL’s age-restricted portfolio of residential land lease communities. Situated between Vero Beach and Melbourne, this 145-acre site provides residents with a life style near boating, fishing, and the beaches of the Atlantic. A 25 acre lake within the community provides a beautiful lake view for over 150 home sites as well as the opportunity for small craft boating and fishing.

The gated community contains 365 occupied home sites and an additional 100 home sites that are fully developed. ANL plans to build on the current quality community which includes a clubhouse, a lake and recreation area to build on the community’s sales momentum and build out the remainder of the community. Home sales have been characterized by high quality homes, with an average sales price of over $150,000. The community enables ANL to continue building its presence in the high value eastern seaboard part of the state while retaining the focus on age restricted quality communities.
