SATORI "GEISHAS" WILL ADD PERSONALITY TO PRIDEFEST

Luxury Rental Community a Gold Sponsor of Annual Event March 21-22

Fort Lauderdale, FL (March 11, 2009) - Satori, Ft. Lauderdale's newest luxury rental apartment community, will showcase its Asian theme in the guise of "Geisha" drag queens at the annual PrideFest celebration March 21-22 at Holiday Park. Meaning "awakening" in Japanese, Satori offers residents a zen-like, tranquil setting amidst an urban village and the "Geishas" illustrate that theme.

Along with their fabulous and entertaining personalities, the "Geishas" will share information about the 279-unit upscale rental community at 1201 E. Sunrise Boulevard. As a Gold Sponsor of the event, Satori will also have a booth equipped with printed information and an interactive state-of-the-art Sales Touch System, on which people can examine images of floor plans, apartment views and amenities.

"PrideFest attracts huge crowds, many of whom will appreciate the exclusive lifestyle offered at Satori ," said Cathy Cabell, Vice President of Property Management at Altman Management Company. "We are proud to support the community and believe Satori is the perfect choice for those who are looking for a lavish, full-service urban rental apartment."

PrideFest, a celebration and tribute to the LGBT community and culture, is an annual Ft. Lauderdale two-day event which includes music and comedy shows, more than 250 vendors and DJ's and a large dance floor in the dance tent. Entertainment is available outside as well as inside the adjacent War Memorial Auditorium. In addition, Florida's largest AIDS memorial quilt will be on display.

Developed by the Altman Companies, Satori is centrally located directly across from Holiday Park. Situated on 5.7 lushly landscaped acres, Satori is a mixed-use, pet-friendly community comprised of four buildings ranging from five to nine stories. Exciting public spaces include a dramatic 8,000 square-foot two-story clubhouse and a sumptuous pool terrace reminiscent of a high-end resort with a heated infinity-edge pool, whirlpool spa, waterfall cascade, and cabanas. Satori's convenient eServices include on-line move-in scheduling, utilities connection, maintenance requests, rental payments and community information.

"Green" is another very important feature at Satori.
