Old Florida National Bank and Mercantile Capital Corporation Announce Merger Agreement
ORLANDO - Old Florida National Bank and Mercantile Capital Corporation have entered into a merger agreement. Old Florida National Bank (Old Florida), headquartered in downtown Orlando, expects the merger to be finalized in the late fourth quarter or early first quarter of 2011.
Randy Burden, chairman of Old Florida, and Geof Longstaff, chairman of Mercantile, jointly announced the merger.
Old Florida National Bank, formed in 1982, currently operates eight full-service retail banking facilities throughout Central Florida and Inverness, Fla. and boasts over $375 million in assets
Mercantile, the seven-year-old Altamonte Springs firm that specializes in U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans for owners of small to mid-sized businesses who want to acquire or develop their own facilities, has provided commercial loans in 30 states and Puerto Rico for more than $513 million in total project costs since it opened as Mercantile Commercial Capital, LLC in late 2002.
“The merger substantially extends Old Florida’s capacity to engage in commercial lending,” Randy Burden said.
“Mercantile ranks as one of the largest and best known providers of SBA-504 lending in the nation,” Burden said. “They have succeeded in developing a well-known and well-respected brand with a solid reputation in the small business community,” Burden added.
Longstaff, who has served as president of three banks in the area over the past three decades, said the merger brings substantial resources to bear on Mercantile’s effort to serve small business owners nationwide.
John Burden, president of Old Florida, said “the merger creates a strong, cohesive banking organization squarely focused on serving consumers, professionals and the small business sector.”
“Old Florida National Bank is a hometown bank well known for personal service to our customers and a smart, reliable approach to banking,” Burden said.
“We are very pleased to offer Mercantile’s services to our customers and to further our service to Central Florida’s small business community,” he said.
Christopher G. Hurn, chief executive officer of Mercantile Capital Corporation, said “the merger enables Mercantile to expand its services and to help more small business owners nationally.”
“Our merger substantially expands the capital resources we can bring to the small business sector of the U.S. economy,” said Hurn.
Mercantile Capital Corporation will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Florida National Bank. The combined entities are estimated to have nearly $400 million in total assets upon completion of their merger, making Old Florida one of the largest Orlando-based community banks.

Congressional Candidate Paul Partyka: The Biggest Concern in District 24 is Issues, not personalities
WINTER SPRINGS - Paul Partyka, Democratic candidate for Congress in Florida’s 24th District, has been talking with voters every day for the past three months in his bid to unseat the district’s freshman incumbent in the Aug. 24 primary election and then a Republican opponent in November.
His conversations have taught him a valuable lesson.
“The biggest concerns voters have in District 24 are issues, Partyka said. “We Americans face tremendous challenges as a nation, and politicians who focus on fear, hatred, mud-slinging and back-biting are going to see that backfire,” he said.
Partyka said his focus on policy issues gives him the edge over incumbent Suzanne Kosmas.
“The four most important issues in District 24 are jobs, the economy, health care and immigration,” Partyka said, “and the incumbent has done nothing but waffle on any of them.”
Partyka said his campaign has focused exclusively on policy issues since he decided to run for Congress last year.
“I won’t attack the integrity of the incumbent,” Partyka said, “nor can she attack mine. We are both honorable people. In District 24, the question comes down to, ‘what have you done for the people of Florida?’ And she has failed in that regard.”
“The only way we are going to get our nation moving forward again is to elect representatives who will act. So far as we can tell, the incumbent has spent most of her energies protecting her seat. That’s not what District 24 wants,” Partyka said, “and that’s not what the nation needs.”
Partyka said he decided to run for office because he is frustrated by political do-nothings.
“I hate posturing,” Partyka said. “America needs action, not poise. We need a lot more pushing and pulling and a lot less primping and posing,” he said.
Partyka said his campaign--called a long-shot by some observers--will create some ripples come Aug. 24.
“The voters are going to surprise the pundits and the party elite,” Partyka said. “While the professional politicians have focused on style, the voters are looking at substance, and that’s where we win,” he said.

Crossman & Company Releases ICSC 2010 Florida Retail Report
ORLANDO - Crossman & Company, one of the largest third party retail leasing and management firms in the Southeast, will be presenting the bi-annual ICSC Florida Retail Report at the Keynote Presentation, Monday Aug. 23 at 1 p.m. Crossman & Company has produced the report on behalf of ICSC for the past 15 years, and includes contributions from over 75 separate companies throughout the state.
“We have seen a return to stability in the market in the first half of 2010,” stated Justin Greider, the primary author of the report. “In nearly every market of the state we have seen the freefall of rents and occupancy leveling off, indicating we may have found the bottom of the market, though significant challenges still remain for owners and retailers alike.”
The report notes that rental rates for the entire state average $16.60 for mid-year 2010, down nearly 15 percent from the peak in the first quarter of 2008. Occupancy has leveled off at just over 89 percent, a decrease of about 6 percent from its peak in 2006.
“The outlook for the next 6-12 months is one of cautious optimism,” Greider added, “People throughout the state are very positive, but the recovery is going to be long and slow, and there is still a lot of over-valued product that has to work its way through the system.”

Stirling Sotheby's International Realty Market Report Shows Alaqua Lakes Homes are Holding Their Value, although Sales are Down
LAKE MARY - Alaqua Lakes, the luxury country club community located at Lake Mary Blvd. and Markham Woods Road in Seminole County, appears to be holding home values better than most neighborhoods in central Florida.
Cassandra Levine, luxury homes specialist at Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty and Alaqua Lakes community specialist, said seven luxury homes have sold during the first six months of 2010 at an average sale price of $977,942. In 2009, Alaqua Lakes saw sales at a lower average price of $868,153, Levine said.
The highest sale price for the first half of the year was $1,264,000, but it’s lower than the $1,475,000 highest sale reported in 2009.
Thirty-three luxury homes at Alaqua Lakes were listed for sale during the first six months of 2010, Levine said, compared with 45 in 2009.
Sellers are reducing their asking prices, but only slightly, Levine said.
“In 2009, the average asking price listed was $988,330. Today, the average asking price is $1,070,948,” she said. That could change, but not much.
”The difference between the average asking price and the average sale price is less than 10 percent,” Levine said.
“There’s some room for negotiation, but Alaqua Lakes was well-established before the real estate downturn and asking prices are very realistic here,” Levine added.
