4 AREA REDEVELOPMENT SUMMARY In 2016, the City of Rochester publicly released a request for proposal to redevelop an 18.8 acre site directly across the street from 84 South Union, located in the southeast portion of Rochester s Center City. The winning bid was awarded to a partnership comprised of three prominent Rochester-based entities: Strong Museum of Play, Konar Properties, and Indus Hospitality Group, who plan to redevelop the site into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood. The project is expected to attract more than 400,000 additional annual visitors to downtown Rochester, which will bring in over $130 million per year to the local economy.! 4 of 17!

5 AREA REDEVELOPMENT SUMMARY The proposed project includes a major expansion of the Strong Museum of Play, which will include construction of a 5 story, 310,000 square-foot parking structure containing 1,200 spaces, and a brand new Video Game Hall of Fame, a 100,000 square-foot, 3-story addition to the existing museum. Indus Hospitality Group will build a brand new, nationally-branded, 117,800 squarefoot, 5-story, 175-room hotel within walking distance to the museum. Konar Properties plans to build 5 mixed-use commercial and residential structures, creating over 11,000 square-feet of additional retail space and over 300,000 squarefeet of new residential space. The new development will create small city blocks in the immediate area that promote walking, cycling, and exploring, and will offer residents and visitors access to new dedicated streets, increased street parking, public amenities and extensive green space. All of these publicly-accessible amenities will substantially increase both the vibrancy of the neighborhood and the overall attractiveness of 84 South Union as a place to live for future tenants.! 5 of 17!

6 HOTEL DEVELOPMENT Indus Hospitality Group, a leading Rochester developer, is building a nationally branded, contemporary Hotel directly across the street from 84 South Union at the corner of Union and Adventure Street.

Union, a dining terrace at Union and Adventure, and a restaurant at A Street and Adventure. The entire block will be permeable via the Hotel lobby, which will enable Hotel guests and visitors to traverse through the building from the rear porte cohere to South Union.

7 MUSEUM EXPANSION The highlight of the neighborhood will be the 100,000 square-foot museum expansion. The expansion will be the new front entrance to the world-renowned Strong Museum, and will house a cutting edge, multi-faceted entertainment destination featuring the Strong Museum s World Video Game Hall of Fame. The Museum expansion s ground floor will be an open lobby space, activated as a reception and orientation area for visitors. The majority of the ground floor will be curtain wall or storefront to promote a visible and highly engaging visitor experience. The Museum expansion will also host a café with exterior access to the public. Entrances to the Museum Expansion will be very clearly accented and illuminated, and the façade will be highly expressive and colorful in variation. Distinct and playful massing will enclose vertical circulation elements at each corner for the expansion.! 7 of 17!

8 MIXED-USE COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT The residential neighborhood will also include four new apartment buildings, two with ground floor retail space on Adventure Street. The design of the apartment buildings will complement The Strong Museum of Play expansion by incorporating similarly innovative street amenities and features. The new buildings will also include traditional neighborhood design features, including a variety of different entrances at street level, which will add to the pedestrian scale of the neighborhood. The ground level entrances will employ entry stoops that imply a shared ownership between the street, pedestrian and resident. Large adjacent sidewalks are planned in order to support walkability for both residents and visitors to the neighborhood. First floor units are raised above street level to create desirable privacy while still providing an eyes on the street level of neighborhood safety. To add a pedestrian scale to Adventure Street, there will be one free-standing, single-story retail building. This building is located at the heart of Adventure Street directly across from the Strong Museum Expansion and Hotel Restaurant, and adjacent to the new mixed-use housing and retail buildings.! 8 of 17!

12 PROPERTY CONDITIONS Interior Finishes: The interior of the 3,786 square-foot building has been gutted to prepare for renovations. However, several of the building s historic features were saved in order to create the opportunity of blending modern amenities with historic charm resulting in a unique, coveted space. The artisanal craftsmanship found throughout the building is extraordinary. Highlights include a foyer with natural light from stained glass windows, ornamental railings on a grand staircase, dark hardwood moldings and multiple fireplaces with historic porcelain tile accents. The third floor of the property is not included in the square footage but offers a blank canvas with outstanding views of the city skyline, creating a unique opportunity for attracting future residential tenants. Exterior Finishes: Built in 1925, 84 South Union was created in the Queen Anne Architectural style, as demonstrated by the asymmetrical floorpan and stone foundation. The ornate detail found on the exterior woodwork and colorful stained glass windows represent the skilled craftsmanship of the era. An exterior painting project was completed in 2015 to rejuvenate the face of the building. The historic charm, fine details and elaborate trim were accentuated by strategically incorporating four colors into the design. Landscaping & Parking: Situated on a 45x150 square foot lot, there is minimal need for landscaping at this property. A small courtyard at the front of the building is divided by large stone pavers leading to a large front porch with a spectacular view of the city. To the side of the building are mature shrubs including beautiful burning bushes. Future residents will be able to take advantage of on-site, offstreet parking available behind the building. Roof: After a complete tear off in 2015, the roof was replaced with GAF Timberline HD Shingles over new underlayment and ice and water shield. At the peaks, 60 feet of ridge vent was installed. There is a 50 year warranty on labor and materials. Also at this time, new seamless gutters were installed on the building.! 12 of! 17

14 INNER LOOP EAST PROJECT The image above illustrates the transformation of the Inner Loop that is currently underway. The Inner Loop is a highway that circles Rochester Center City, constructed in the 1960s to serve the commuters living in the suburbs and working downtown. Today, as the number of residents living downtown continues to rise, this highway began to be used less. Similar to Boston s Big Dig, this highway was replaced with an urban boulevard and mixed-use development space. Residential neighborhoods that were separated by the highway have become integrated, allowing for further pedestrian movement, increasing foot traffic and demand for local businesses and property. 84 South Union offers the unique opportunity to capitalize on the urban revival emerging throughout downtown Rochester. A renewed interest in downtown living, combined with a recent surge in private development and heavy public investment, has fostered the conditions necessary for a major transformation in the physical and cultural landscape of the area.! 14 of! 17

15 DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT The image below, provided by the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation (RDDC), identifies some of the other significant real estate projects underway in the downtown area. At the end of 2017, the RDDC estimated that there is $922.1 million being invested in downtown Rochester through projects that are planned, under construction, or already completed.
