Press release out today International Properties Group Ltd -  International Properties sets record pace in condominium sales  International Properties Group Ltd                                                             IPX  Shares issued 33,352,562                                               1999-08-17 close $1  Wednesday Aug 18 1999  Mr. Phillip Carroll reports   International Properties Group has achieved another sales goal -- $25-million in  sales of multifamily real estate investment properties that will propel the company  toward achieving its target of $115-million in revenues by its Oct. 31, year-end --  a 55-per-cent increase over fiscal 1998.   This extraordinary growth was accomplished through IPG's unique equity plus  program. The equity plus program allows investors to build real estate portfolios  that couple long-term equity gains with continuing income streams in low-risk,  geographically diversified investments. In the third quarter, IPG marketed more  than 350 up-scale condominiums. In fewer than 90 days, the company sold or  placed under contract $25-million worth of real estate.   Through its in-depth market research, IPG has identified Ontario and Alberta as  markets that will create wealth for real estate investors. For that reason, IPG's  most recent projects included several locations in these provinces -- Brittany  Park, in Ottawa; The Legacy, in London; The Regency, in Kitchener; and  Riverbend Manor, in Edmonton. These are excellent territories for wealth creation  in real estate.   "Market acceptance of our current real estate investment properties has been  nothing short of phenomenal," said Phillip J. Carroll, chief executive officer.  "Particularly outstanding was the enthusiasm shown by investors for our Brittany  Park project, which was completely sold out in just one month. That level of  response is virtually unheard of in this industry."   Douglas Frey, IPG's vice-president acquisitions, noted that the company has  established an outstanding track record, quickly completing sales of existing  inventory, while continually replenishing that inventory with new and attractive  investment acquisitions. "Our strategic acquisitions continually feed the sales  pipeline," said Mr. Frey.   IPG's condominium conversion sales and marketing division (CCD) has shown  itself to be a cash flow generator. Through the equity plus program, CCD sells  individually titled condominium units to private investors from IPG's database.  Over time, this investment product provides individuals with solid returns on equity  and the benefits of accrued gains over the lifetime of the investment. The equity  plus program defines the standards for real estate investment in North America.  From the acquisition of a property, the renovation, the sale and monthly reporting  to investors, and the continued management of the asset, IPG brings hassle-free  investments to the market.
