Thomas Properties Group Engages Colvill Office Properties
to Jointly Direct Leasing and Marketing for 2.5 Million Square Feet
of Houston Office Properties
Houston, Texas - January 15, 2006

Houston -- Thomas Properties Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: TPGI) has entered into a relationship with Colvill Office Properties to jointly manage leasing and marketing activities for the TPG Houston portfolio of four suburban office properties totaling over 2.5 million square feet.

Colvill Office Properties is an exclusive owner’s representative leasing organization specializing in major commercial office properties, with a primary goal of tenant retention. The company has been cited by Costar as one of Houston’s top leasing firms for the past three years.

“Colvill Office Properties, led by Chip Colvill, has an outstanding reputation for exceptional and responsive service to office building tenants and real estate brokers,” said James A. Thomas, Chairman and CEO of Thomas Properties Group. “Colvill’s high professional standards and responsive approach to tenants mesh perfectly with our company’s values and culture. We look forward to a long and successful relationship.”

Thomas Properties Group through a joint venture with the California State Teachers’ Retirement System acquired the properties last August.

According to Chip Colvill, president of Colvill Office Properties, “We are delighted to be working with Thomas Properties Group in the leasing of these properties which rank among the premier office buildings in Houston. The leasing interest we are experiencing is outstanding and, subsequent to Thomas’ acquisition, we already have issued lease proposals totaling over 600,000 square feet.“

The properties include:
San Felipe Plaza – A 45-story, 959,466-square-foot tower in the San Felipe/Voss submarket.

2500 City West – A 25-story, 574,216-square-foot building located in the Westchase submarket.

Brookhollow Central I-III – A three-building complex totaling 797,971 square feet in the Northwest submarket near the intersection of Loop 610 and US 290.

Intercontinental Center – A nine-story, 194,801-square-foot
building located in the North Belt submarket, just south of Bush
Intercontinental Airport.

“Adding these properties to our portfolio builds on our experience and presence in a market we know and allows us to use our skills in redeveloping and managing to enhance value for our investors,”
noted Thomas.

The management team at Thomas Properties Group has more than 20 years of experience in developing and managing commercial real estate in the Southwest. The firm’s Texas management group is responsible for overseeing leasing activities and for developing and implementing the capital program that will include exterior modifications, facility renovations and system upgrades.

Thomas Properties Group, Inc., based in Los Angeles, is a full-service real estate company that owns, acquires, develops and manages office, retail and multi-family properties throughout the United States. The company has four primary areas of focus: property operations, property acquisitions, property development and redevelopment, and investment management.
