1 MSP Real Estate, Inc. City Center Apartments New Berlin, WI 2010 Comprehensive Plan Housing Analysis: MSP Real Estate, Inc. as part of our Plan of Operation has researched how our proposed development will help meet the current housing needs of the people of City of New Berlin as well as address the City s policies and objectives set forth in Chapter 7 of the New Berlin Comprehensive Plan. In doing so we have extensively reviewed Chapter 7 of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan to see how our development helps meets those policies and objectives as set forth by the City. To determine that a sufficient market demand exists to construct the development we have commissioned a market study by Baker Tilly to determine the market potential for both Section 42 workforce and senior affordable apartments as proposed. It is our conclusion that both the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and the market study support the need for our affordable housing development in New Berlin and the financial feasibility of the project. This report will detail how our relates to the main goal of the 2010 comprehensive plan, which is to within the City provide current and future residents a range of housing choices that meets the needs of persons of all income groups, age groups and persons with special needs Housing Choices that meets the needs of persons of all income groups: Our proposed development consists of 80 units of workforce housing for individuals earning between $17,000 and $45,000 per year. Three figures in the comprehensive plan are pertinent when analyzing the housing stock available in New Berlin to our target markets. 1) Figure 7.18 Condition of Housing details that of the 4,533 multifamily units in New Berlin 70% are considered in only good condition. 2) Figure 7.21 outlines that 44% of the households in New Berlin are considered extremely low income or very low income and that their month housing cost range is equal to our maximum rents. 3) Figure 7.22 outlines the number of total housing units and households for the extremely low and very low income category. It is important to realize that the income ranges of the extremely low and very low income are compared to New Berlin s median household income of approximately $74,000. In other communities around Milwaukee and Waukesha counties incomes between $17,000 and $45,000 are generally considered to be more low moderate income. Regardless of how we define the household income, the figures listed above suggest that individuals in our target market either live in housing stock years old in New Berlin or if they work in New Berlin they commute from other parts of the metro area. Our Market Study identified 7 market comparable projects totaling 1,303. Analysis of these properties showed that the market rents for one, two and 3 bedroom apartments range from 15 40% higher than what we are proposing. This makes sense since market rate apartments typically met the needs of individuals earning 60 80% of the area median income. Included with analysis is a graph labeled Exhibit 1, which I believe is extremely helpful in defining the different subsections of housing found in metropolitan communities.

2 Tier 1 Homeownership Residents, mainly families in a community make up the majority of the tenancy of homeowners. According to the US Census Department the median home value in New Berlin is 245,700. On page 7:24 of the comprehensive plan it states The minimum household income needed for a $200,000 mortgage in New Berlin would be $73,200 or $6,100 per month based on a 30 year mortgage including taxes and insurance. This would place the average New Berlin homeowner in the %+ area median income band. Tier 2 Market Rate Apartments Residents, consisting of some families and mainly non family households are the majority of renters in a community. Based on the findings of our market study we can conclude that to afford a basic one bedroom apartment an individual would need to earn over $31,000 annually. This would place the average renter in the 65 80% area median income band. Tier 3 Section 42 Affordable Apartments Like with market rate rentals, residents, consisting of some families and mainly non family households are the residents of Section 42 apartments in a community. This housing is designed for people and families just entering the workforce or situations where one roommate or spouse works while the other is still in school. s for these apartments range between 15 40% less than market rate rentals, yet are indistinguishable in terms of management and appearance. Section 42 apartments like the ones we have proposed are targeted to serve the workforce and elderly population and provide housing for people in the 40 60% area median income bracket. Tier 4 Section 8 Public Housing Section 8 Public Housing was built to provide people who are only able to pay 30% of their income for rent and the US government makes up the difference through rental subsidies. Unlike Section 42 apartments which require resident to have a source of income, residents of Public Housing are not required to have jobs and the housing is meant to serve the lowest income individuals in society who earn in the 0 40% area median income bracket. Now that I have defined the 4 different subsections of housing in a typical community I will present the case for why I feel that Section 42 affordable apartments are a vital piece of the housing market missing in New Berlin. Over the past 10 years there has been a real estate boom that has seen immense amounts development of both, single family residences, condominium and multifamily apartments in New Berlin as well as the country as a whole. Over the past 2 years the single family home, condominium and market rate apartment construction has come to a grinding halt. Financing that was once easily obtained has dried up and lenders and regulators are demanding increased underwriting standards that make most projects infeasible. I think that if you ask around you will find that the only real multifamily lender in the market right now is HUD. Attached to this report is a financial comparison labeled Exhibit 2 which details sources, uses, income and expenses for a HUD Financed 221(d)(4) 80 unit market rate apartment development versus the 80 unit Section 42 Workforce Housing development that we are proposing. If you concentrate on the bottom line, it shows the cash on cash return for each development. As an economic indicator, 10 Year US Treasuries are currently yielding a 3.68% return. It is safe to say that an investor would be extremely reluctant to commit capital to a project that yields less than the 10 Year Treasury. When you look at the financial model for an 80 unit market rate apartment project with today s underwriting criteria and basic assumptions the cash on cash return is extremely low at only 2%. In today s volatile economic climate it is highly unlikely that investors would be willing to commit $4,254,000 in capital to a development project that only yields a return of 2%.

3 On the other hand, using the same land and construction costs and adjusting other costs to be specific to Section 42 apartments, our 80 unit workforce housing development is actually feasible in today s economic climate. By leveraging the equity from the sale of the tax credits we can construct a high quality apartment project that is affordable to workforce employees. On page 7:15 of the comprehensive plan it states, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) states that an area needs a minimum overall vacancy rate of 3 percent to ensure adequate housing choices, which should include a minimum 1.5 percent vacancy rate for owneroccupied housing units and a minimum 5% vacancy rate for rental housing units to ensure adequate housing choices. Our market study has determined that in New Berlin the vacancy rate is about 3.3% which would suggest that adequate housing choices are not available for rent in New Berlin. Since there are currently no Section 42 apartments in the City of New Berlin, it can be concluded that people in our income demographic are either living in substandard housing, paying a disproportionate amount of income for rent or traveling from outside the community to commute to and from work. Exhibit 3 to our proposal lists all the businesses in City Center as well as the adjacent shopping center at Moorland and National. Those businesses along with the caregivers from our Heritage Assisted Living, Regency Senior Apartments represent a workforce of over 500 people that would income qualify to live at our proposed development. Locating apartment buildings next to the employment centers is extremely important. By constructing this project in City Center it gives people that work in the nearby Walmart, grocery stores, restaurants and Assisted Living facilities the ability to cut down on travel to and from work. On page 7:23 of the Comprehensive Plan the final paragraph of the page really extenuates this idea. A community might track the percentage of its housing that is affordable to households earning 60% of the area median income. In addition to the distress it causes families who cannot easily find a place to live, lack of affordable or workforce housing is considered by many to have negative effects on a community s overall health. For example, lack of affordable housing can make low cost labor difficult to find, and increase demands on transportation systems (as workers travel longer distances between jobs and affordable housing) In order to meet its goal to provide housing needed to sustained continued economic growth and development the City of New Berlin needs to fill the gap in its housing market for workforce housing. Attached to this report is a market demand analysis performed by Baker Tilly. In that demand analysis they determined that the City of New Berlin could support 98 units of workforce housing at the unit size and rent levels we have proposed. Our 80 unit project will help to meet those needs today as well as help the City meet its goals set forth in the comprehensive plan. Housing Choices that meets the needs of persons of all age groups:

4 In addition to the 80 unit workforce housing development we are also proposing a 100 unit apartment building for seniors 55 years and older. Phase I of this development will create 76 units of affordable senior apartments. These apartments will help meet the need for housing of the aging baby boomer generation. MSP Real Estate, Inc. currently owns the Deer Creek Village Senior Housing Campus across the creek from our proposed development in City Center. That project consists of 100 units of Section 42 senior apartments, 45 units of market rate senior apartments, 43 units of assisted living and 33 units of memory care. We are very much committed to serving New Berlin s senior population now and in the future. Since opening our Deer Creek Village development we have experienced occupancy rates in the 98% range. Our affordable units have been nearly 100% and we feel that this indicates a strong demand remains for this type of housing in New Berlin. Baker Tilly completed a market study that confirms our assumption and we believe that it is critical to the health of a community to keep its seniors near their family, places of worship and most of all their lifelong friends. By located across the creek from our existing development we can encourage interaction between the two properties and offer amenities a standalone property could not. Our proposed location is ideal for both housing types in that it is so close to the new library, grocery stores, churches and medical centers. To meet market demands we have targeted residents that are just entering the workforce all the way up to residents in their 90 s and everything in between. I believe that we have proposed a development that helps meet the unmet housing needs of all age groups in the community and accomplishes the goals set forth in the comprehensive plan. Housing Choices the meets the needs of persons with special needs: In February we held a neighborhood meeting to allow residents of New Berlin to come hear about our project and give us feedback on what they would like to see in our project. The biggest thing we took away from that meeting was that there was a significant demand for special needs housing in the City. Parents of some developmentally disabled children were extremely vocal in support of our proposal and encouraged us to look into ways that we could incorporate some lower income units into the development to meet those needs. The fundamental problem is that special needs individuals receive social security which would income qualify them for a 40% AMI tax credit unit, but since no housing of this type exists their alternative is to live in a Section 8 or Public Housing development. This is not an acceptable alternative to those children s parents. With the financing programs available this year from WHEDA we were able to incorporate 9 units in the development to accommodate residents at that 40% rent level and target the special needs population. This will allow local residents to live within walking distance to jobs and maintain their individual dignity as well as their sense of community. In addition to the main housing goal the City of New Berlin Comprehensive Plan has set four other objectives and policies to promote achievement of the City s overall housing goal. Encourage appropriate transitions between different land uses to ensure sustained value for residential neighborhoods:

5 Our proposed development is located in New Berlin s City Center. The location of our proposed development within City Center was specified as multifamily from the conception of the City Center Development Plan and subsequent PUD. Pursuant to objective 2 on page 7:4 of the Comprehensive Plan the City prepared and adopted a detailed neighborhood development plan prior to the zoning and development of the residential area within City Center. In addition the City Center PUD and Development Plan included the proposed land use pattern of the area, including commercial, institutional and retail development. Pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan, the City Center Plan specifically identified open space, a street system and pedestrian connections. To date, both condominiums and market rate apartments have been constructed in City Center. We believe that our development would satisfy both the main housing goals identified by the Comprehensive Plan as well as the City Center Plan. The workforce housing component meets the goal of City Center to create sustainable development and a bike or walk to work environment. Several major employers employing over 500 low and moderate income individuals are located with.5 miles of City Center. In order to maintain continued economic growth it is important for New Berlin to meet the housing needs of all the people who work in the City. This development would help accomplish that goal as set forth in page 7:2 of the Comprehensive Plan. In addition to meeting the Neighborhood Plan objective and policy set forth as item 2 in the Comprehensive Plan our development meets the infill and compatible with surrounding land use test. To the east is a Section 42 senior apartment development that we currently own and operate. We obviously have put a lot of thought on the impact of building additional apartments next to our existing property. We are extremely comfortable with it as an adjacent land use and intend to create a pedestrian bridge connecting the two developments. To the South of the development is an existing condominium project. The entity selling us the land has worked out an arrangement with the condominium owners related to separating the parcel we are buying from the existing condominium association. Those owners have all had legal representation throughout that process and have no problems with our proposed development. The property has a land use plan in place for high medium density residential and that is exactly what we are proposing to construct. Preserve and enhance natural resources and environmental systems that define, connect and add character to neighborhood: One of the most marketable amenities of our development site is the large retention ponds to the west. The City of New Berlin has a 10 foot easement along the west side of our property that will allow our residents as well as the general public to walk along a nature trail within City Center. This oasis of nature within the city enhances our property as well as the properties around it. The views from our apartments overlooking the ponds will be a valued amenity for our property. The City did great job in the planning process and creating the City Center Plan to enhance this water feature. On page 7:4 of the Comprehensive Plan it states in the third objective that the City should use creative techniques to preserve and protect the City s natural resource assets and ways of managing stormwater that can add aesthetic elements into a development. I could not think of how the City could not have done a better job meeting that objective with the layout of the ponds at City Center which our development can utilize. In addition to the detention ponds, Deer Creek runs parallel to our eastern property boundary. By adding a pedestrian bridge to connect the two developments we can encourage interaction between our residents and enhance people s enjoyment of the creek.

6 Encourage high quality construction and maintenance standards: MSP Real Estate, Inc. is also the general contractor for all our developments. The owner of MSP, Milo Pinkerton has a master s degree in architecture and as a company we pride ourselves in developing the highest quality affordable housing in the state. Our proposed development is designed with prairie style buildings that utilize split face block, brick and cement board siding as an accent material. Our interiors feature stainless steel appliances that are energy star rated as well as high quality wood trim, cabinets and doors. Even though our rents are affordable and the apartments are rented to low and moderate income individuals our philosophy is that MSP development should not be of inferior quality to market rate apartments. In fact the financing programs available from WHEDA this year allow us to leverage private investment with the tax credits to create an extremely high quality affordable housing product. Since we are required to own the project for a minimum of 15 years we are incentivized to be forward thinking in our developments. Subsequently we use the highest quality materials and most energy efficient design available to ensure we are competitive throughout that 15 year holding period. Over the past 16 years we have teamed up with the professional property management company, Oakbrook Corporation to maintain and manage our apartment developments in Wisconsin. Oakbrook currently manages apartments in Wisconsin and Illinois and is rated by WHEDA as the highest quality management company in the state. They have a preventive maintenance program to keep our property looking good now as well as looking and operating as well 10 years from now. We are long term owners and members of the community so it is our priority to make sure that we have a building that is looking good and well maintained. Prepare and implement a residential property maintenance plan: This objective is a little bit of a crossover from the previous one which stresses how important it is to the City of New Berlin to make sure that future development is maintained to preserve its appearance. We understand the City may have concerns that an affordable housing development will not be kept up over time. We would like to assure the city that this is not something they have to worry about with this development. Our track record as well that or our management agent is impeccable and you are welcome to contact any of the 20+ municipalities that we have built developments in for confirmation. MSP stands by our product and we put the necessary capital improvement dollars into our properties to keep them in great shape and marketable. Our management company already has both property maintenance plans and preventative maintenance plans that it utilizes with all its developments. We welcome the City s input on working together to structure these plans specific to this development in New Berlin to ensure that the maintenance standards meet the City s expectations. I know that whatever plan we agree upon will be strictly enforced by Oakbrook for the enjoyment of all. After reviewing all the policies and objectives set forth in Chapter 7 of the New Berlin Comprehensive Plan we believe that our proposed development satisfies the City s goal. We are developing in one phase a 156 unit apartment community that spans all ages and addresses the City s need for a range of

7 housing choices. The main goal of the comprehensive plan is to within the City provide current and future residents a range of housing choices that meets the needs of persons of all income groups, age groups and persons with special needs We are going to provide housing for all the people identified in that goal above that need housing options in New Berlin and satisfy the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan in one development. There are is currently one Section 42 senior housing development in the City, and none for general tenancy. The low vacancy rates, adjacent employment centers with over 500 lowmoderate income workforce employees, aging baby boomer generation and the large unmet demand identified in the market studies all point to the fact that our development is needed in the City and this is the ideal location for it. While many options for market rate apartment rentals and owner occupied residents exist already in New Berlin we believe that the housing needs of those earning between 40 60% ami or approximately $17,000 to $45,000 annually are not being met. These residents currently live substandard apartments or our paying too much in housing costs. In summary, we agree with the idea set forth in the comprehensive plan and believe that our development helps make New Berlin and healthy community. A community might track the percentage of its housing that is affordable to households earning 60% of the area median income. In addition to the distress it causes families who cannot easily find a place to live, lack of affordable or workforce housing is considered by many to have negative effects on a community s overall health. For example, lack of affordable housing can make low cost labor difficult to find, and increase demands on transportation systems (as workers travel longer distances between jobs and affordable housing)

8 New Berlin Unmet Workforce Housing Needs Analysis New Berlin, Wisconsin March 2010 Prepared By: Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP Ten Terrace Court P.O. Box 7398 Madison, WI

9 Page 2 This unmet needs analysis serves to assess the unmet needs for workforce multifamily housing market in the City of New Berlin, Wisconsin. Based on the market information obtained during the research, no alternative affordable workforce housing developments were noted in the primary market area. The current residents are likely residing in substandard housing or maintain a rent overburden, whereby the residents are paying greater than 35% of their household income towards rent. Based on the analysis conducted, a need for 98 workforce housing units was noted in New Berlin, WI.

10 Page 3 Location and Market Area Definition Primary Market Area (PMA) The Primary Market Area (PMA) is defined as the area in which similar properties compete with the subject property for renters. The PMA for the proposed Deer Creek Apartments must first be established before the influences of supply and demand can be assessed. The subject property is centrally located in the City of New Berlin, Wisconsin, within the City Center development, just south of the intersection of National Avenue and Coffee Road. The City Center is a planned pedestrian friendly mixed-use development that combines the New Berlin Library, various retail, office, and residential uses. The site s immediate neighborhood consists of the Deer Creek Village Senior Housing campus directly to the east, Deer Creek Parkway Condominiums to the south, a medical building and City of New Berlin Public Library to the northwest followed by various retailers and service providers. Interviews were conducted with area property managers and other knowledgeable real estate professionals within the community. A consensus among those interviewed indicated that a predominant primary market for the residential component of the development exists. Primary Market Area (PMA) The PMA is the area from which the strongest potential demand for housing associated with the proposed development is anticipated to originate. A consensus among those persons interviewed, a review of the transportation linkages for New Berlin, a review of the employment base within the community and a driving tour of the surrounding area establish a factual basis for determining the boundaries for the PMA. These factors indicate that the predominant PMA for the proposed Deer Creek Apartments includes the area encompassing the following area: North: Interstate 94 South: Interstate 43 East: Interstate 895/U.S. Highway 45 West: South Calhoun Road Based on discussions with area property managers, it is likely that 75-80% of the residents that ultimately reside at the development will originate from within the PMA with the rest originating from outside the PMA (most likely remaining portions of Waukesha County). However, as a conservative approach, only the population from within the PMA will be analyzed. A map of the Primary Market Area is included on the following page.

12 Page 5 Population and Households Overall Demographic Analysis The following table provides a summary of the demographic makeup of the people residing within the PMA. According to the US Census Bureau and the ESRI BIS actual 2000, estimated 2009, and projected 2014 demographic data sets, the overall population is projected to increase by approximately 79 people per year for the 5 years ending in 2014, resulting in an overall gain of 0.8 percent. The number of households is projected to increase at a rate of about 77 per year for a gain of 1.8 percent. A greater increase is projected in renter occupied units than in owner occupied units, with the overall average household size decreasing from 2.36 persons per household to 2.33 persons per household.

13 Income Target New Berlin, WI Page 6 The following table shows the distribution of household income by age of householder in the PMA. ESRI BIS estimates that in 2009 there are approximately 6,904 households with incomes between $0 and $49,999 and of these 3,919 households were under the age of 65. Although this information does not match the proposed development s targeted incomes exactly, it provides insight when examining the depth of the affordable housing market. A more detailed penetration analysis will be presented later in this report to more closely determine the number of age and income qualified households.

15 Household by Size New Berlin, WI Page 8 In 2000, 20,468 of the 20,890 (98.0 percent) occupied units in the PMA were occupied by one to five people. This is a likely indicator that that approximately 98 percent of the rental demand in the PMA is for efficiencies, one, two, and three-bedroom units for a typical rental development. This ratio suggests that existing and future multifamily rental units should target a mix of about 98 percent efficiencies, one, two, and three-bedroom units. The proposed development provides housing options for families of up to five persons and matches the typical renter profile in the PMA.
