BUFFALO, NY - Seneca One Realty, which owns and manages One HSBC Center in
downtown Buffalo, is participating in Earth Hour on Saturday, March 28, 2009. Earth
Hour is an international event where millions of people around the world will turn their
lights off for one hour at 8:30 p.m., EST, in a symbolic gesture against climate change.

Earth Hour 2009 is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every
community, to realize the dangers of climate change. It started in Sydney, Australia in
2007 with 2.2 million homes and businesses participating. This year, the objective is to
have over 1 billion people in over 1,000 cities take part.

"We want to send a powerful message to our community that we are taking action
against global warming," said Stephen P. Fitzmaurice, Seneca One Realty Chief
Operating Officer. "We urge other individuals and business in Western New York to do
the same and take a stand."

Last year, global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome's
Colosseum and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness as a
testament to this cause.
