News; TSX:ITW), one of the world's leading destination resort and adventure-travel

and pedestrian-friendly walkways. The resort village will provide luxury
accommodation and easy access to amenities essential to the continued growth
of the area's convention business.

"Not only will they experience the real Florida culturally, recreationally, and naturally, they'll be within walking distance of the world-class facilities of the Convention Center. A definite first to have so much so close to our doors." The Village of Imagine Discovery Center is now open on Universal Boulevard, and is providing information on its priority reservation program for units in the first of two signature grand condominium-hotels. This is a limited ownership opportunity in a 130-unit condominium-hotel in partnership with a major hotelier. Completion of the first phase is estimated to be early 2008.

When completed, it will feature approximately 1,000 residences showcasing a mixture of architectural styles authentic to the state, while devoting ample space to native landscaping, abundant water features, natural walkways and preserved green areas. Located in the heart of Central Florida and next to the Orange County Convention Center, The Village of Imagine will provide a place for business travelers to dine and unwind, a venue for destination travelers to marvel in the one-of-a-kind retail concepts and a friendly gathering place for locals who seek an exceptional level of service and attention.
