GlobeSt.com: In light of Falcon's $888 million year in 2007, do you think you can approach that same number in 2008?

Sweeney: I think 2008 is going to be very different from the way most of 2007 was. The credit squeeze, the housing market and the slowing of the economy all put questions on the market so we will be very happy if we can reach a transaction level in 2008 that is similar to what we accomplished in 2007. We're on the sidelines a little bit right now, waiting to see where the economy goes, and also to see how this credit squeeze resolves itself, but even so we are still looking for opportunities because there are always opportunities in real estate. And in fact right now, we are in the process of acquiring two properties, a multi-tenant office building and a single-tenant office building.
