7 EVOLUTION OF PROPERTY One East Broadway owners, Rob Caylor and Art Wadlund, are also owners of the 2 East Congress Building ( Chase Bank Building ) adjacent to One East Broadway. Prior to development of One East Broadway, the land was a parking lot used for tenants at the 2 East Congress building, with over half of the parking reserved for Chase Bank employees and their customers.

11 ORIGINAL PLAN The original plan was to develop the property into a 6 or 7 story property with parking and retail on the first 3 floorsfairly similar to the current design and then with 3 or 4 levels of apartments. Original idea was two levels of parking below ground, but this option become too costly. MODIFIED PLAN Approached by PAG/RTA who was interested in relocating their offices to be on the Modern Streetcar line. Negotiated a 10-year deal with PAG/RTA to occupy 2 floors of the property for their new offices.

12 Modified from four levels of apartments to two levels for PAG/RTA and two levels for apartments. Modified to include one level of parking below ground, one level at grade (mixed with retail), and one level above ground. Further modified during construction to add one additional level above ground-four total levels of parking.

13 CHALLENGES-GENERAL Lenders were skeptical due to the following: Lack of experience of developer & contractor with this type of product. Lack of any sales comparables to support the cost of construction and completed value. Lack of any rent comparables, especially for the apartments our projected rents were substantially higher than nearby properties and newer suburban properties. Tight site difficult for construction.

15 CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW & CHALLENGES Tight site difficult for construction. Need to identify and relocate utilities: Property semi-island with electric & telephone one-half block away at Scott Avenue & Broadway Boulevard, and no utilities at property line. Had to have all street work completed before construction finished with Modern Streetcar tracks moratorium on street penetrations after tracks installed. Sewer line built in 1906 with no stubs. Negotiations with TW&S on size of meter. We used 2 meters with one meter servicing half of the project and the other servicing the other half. TW&S wanted one 3 meter. $50k cost difference.

16 CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW & CHALLENGES Negotiated locations for supports of overhead streetcar lines. Negotiated with Feds on soil stabilizations nails (15-20 FT) that were drilled/inserted/abandoned under Federal Courthouse adjacent to the site. Same with City for soil nails under Broadway Boulevard and Stone Avenue. Due to only 3 FT set-back from Federal Courthouse difficulties with scaffolding placement, etc. Negotiated irrevocable easements from City for balconies on Broadway side of property. No parking required in Downtown Core Financial Incentive District, however, parking calculations were required. One level added to parking garage after construction was well underway. Required interface/action with: Architect/Engineers City Permits Lender Both WF Middle Markets and WF NMTC and Dudley for NMTC Loans. Lender Financed a portion of extra level of garage and additional equity required. Additional legal fees.

17 BUILDING INTERESTING FACTS 5,630 cubic yards of concrete used Post-tension construction a) Minimizes inflection b) Maximizes floor to ceiling heights with 5 concrete floors instead of 18 trusses Used 12 C joists on 6 th & 7 th residential floors, so no columns, and 3 concrete floors allowing 10 FT ceilings in all residential units. This was important to us.

18 BUILDING INTERESTING FACTS First floor 18 concrete Parking podium decks 12 concrete Kept approximately ½ under 75 FT high-rise code. Due to tight site, a crane was installed and mounted in approximately the center of building near north property line. Needed as boom had to swing over adjacent 10-story Chase Bank building. If placed outside of building envelope the boom would not reach SW corner of building. ±$275k cost for crane.

21 DEBT & EQUITY STRUCTURE OVERVIEW Ownership is LP with entities Rob & Art, each 50% of LP. Art & Rob contributed all of the equity. Equity is treated like debt in the NMTC structure. Originally planned to finance with conventional financing. This financing structure did not work due to the concrete & steel construction of the property, combined with the extra costs associated with the parking garage.

22 DEBT & EQUITY STRUCTURE Michael Keith & Pam Southerland of Downtown Tucson Partnership suggested we consider New Markets Tax Credits. Met with Jim Howard of Dudley Ventures who has known Art for a long time. We determined that the property potentially qualified for NMTC s.

23 DEBT & EQUITY STRUCTURE Timing issues: Dudley & Wells Fargo received allocation notice in February 2012 Dudley & Wells Fargo commit projects in August 2012 Closing on NMTC loans has to occur by November 1, 2012 Development has to be shovel-ready before closing to include site ownership, and all plans and permits in-place. Cost to developers of ±$800k plus land costs. If no commitment, plans and permits have to be redone due to project not being feasible without the NMTC debt. One day loan needed for $800k to offset developers equity in plans and permits.
