SAN ANTONIO, TX (September 15, 2011) – To better serve existing client needs and the growing demands of
the San Antonio commercial real estate market, the partners of Cross & Company announced the creation of two
new independent entities. David M. Adelman will own and operate DSA Property Management, and will focus on
property management and development services. Paul G. Fagan, CCIM, SIOR and Edward A. Cross, II will own

clients have come to expect, and will leverage that with the global strength and capabilities of Cushman and
