Joined NRDC Acquisition Corp. (AMEX:NAQ), a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC), as part of an effort to avoid the scheduled liquidation resulting from the expiration of the contractual 24 month investment period.

NRDC proposed converting the SPAC to a perpetual life retail REIT to avoid the scheduled liquidation.
