DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- International Speedway Corporation (NASDAQ:ISCA) (OTC:ISCB) (BULLETIN BOARD: ISCB) ("ISC") today announced the termination of the agreement with ProLogis, a Maryland based real estate investment trust, for the sale of its Staten Island property. ProLogis terminated the agreement on November 27, 2007, prior to the expiration of the due diligence inspection period. ISC's wholly-owned subsidiary, 380 Development, LLC ("380 Development"), entered into the agreement with ProLogis for the sale of the 676-acre Staten Island site on October 19, 2007. The agreement was subject to certain conditions, including the completion of due diligence by ProLogis, and was expected to close in December 2007. "While it is unfortunate that ProLogis elected not to complete the transaction, we are confident that, on a timely basis, we will agree to terms with a buyer interested in redeveloping this site, which will provide economic benefit to Staten Island and New York City as a whole," said Brian K. Wilson, ISC Vice President of Corporate Development. In early 2007, 380 Development began to market the Staten Island property as a potential logistics center and received significant interest that resulted in a number of serious bid proposals. The property is the largest tract of undeveloped acreage in the five boroughs of New York City and is attractive for a number of commercial and industrial uses.
