Offering Summary Investment Overview HOUSTON DOWNTOWN OFFERING SUMMARY INVESTMENT OVERVIEW HFF is pleased to offer on an exclusive basis the opportunity to acquire the fee-simple interest in the 350-room Doubletree Downtown Houston (“Property” or “Hotel”), prominently situated within Allen Center – an institutional-quality mixed-use office/retail/hotel complex – in the Houston CBD. The Hotel is strategically located near many of Houston’s top demand drivers including the George R. Brown Convention Center, Minute Maid Park (home of the Houston Astros), Toyota Center (home of the Houston Rockets) and over 51 million square feet of office space within a 1-mile radius. Many of the Fortune 500 companies located in Houston are within blocks of the Property, including Deloitte, Chevron and KBR. The Property is being offered fully unencumbered from both brand and management, presenting the next owner with a completely blank slate. With an irreplaceable location within Houston’s CBD core and strong in-place cash flow, the DoubleTree offers investors a unique, unencumbered opportunity with tremendous upside potential. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS UNIQUE DOWNTOWN HOUSTON LOCATION The Property boasts an enviable location within Allen Center in Houston’s CBD, benefiting from downtown’s diversified demand base – not only corporate but also convention, sports, leisure, culture, medical, university/ education – and pedestrian friendly environment. This ideal mix of demand drivers has allowed the CBD to TWO ALLEN CENTER 1 MILLION SF continually outperform Houston’s overall market, as well as the neighboring Galleria/Greenway Plaza submarket. THREE ALLEN CENTER Some of the most notable highlights of the Hotel’s location include: 1.6 MILLION SF • 4.5 million square feet of office space within Allen Center and Heritage Plaza, connecting the Hotel via sky bridges/ tunnels ONE ALLEN CENTER 1 MILLION SF • 51 million square feet of total office space within a 1-mile radius HERITAGE PLAZA 1.2 MILLION SF • Dozens of cultural attractions throughout Houston’s 17-block Theatre District (three blocks away) • Close proximity to Interstate 45 providing access to all the area’s major thoroughfares • Connected to downtown’s tunnel system, which spans for seven miles connecting 95 blocks of downtown and includes retail and restaurants along the way • Access to the METRORail via the Greenlink free bus service, providing direct access to many of downtown’s popular amenities and districts • 1.8-million-SF George R. Brown Convention Center, one of the nation’s 10 largest, which is completing a substantial renovation and expansion (direct connection via Greenlink) • Major sports facilities including Minute Maid Park (Houston Astros), Toyota Center (Houston Rockets) and BBVA Compass Stadium (Houston Dynamo) STRONG IN-PLACE CASH FLOW WITH UPSIDE POTENTIAL The Property offers the next owner strong in-place cash flow and an impressive $126 RevPAR along with much upside upon renovating and implementing potential new brand/management strategies. FULLY UNENCUMBERED OFFERING Currently managed by Hilton, the Property is being offered unencumbered of the existing agreement, providing complete operational flexibility and upside for a new owner/operator. The Property is also being offered free and clear of the DoubleTree brand, creating a complete blank slate for the next owner. However, the next owner could have the ability to continue under the proven DoubleTree franchise and benefit from its access to Hilton’s unmatched loyalty program and distribution system. UNIQUE ASSET AT ATTRACTIVE DISCOUNT TO REPLACEMENT COST The DoubleTree is a high-quality hotel building featuring central HVAC, oversized bays and large guest bathrooms, offering investors an above-average asset fully compatible with upper upscale or luxury positioning. Construction cost for an urban full-service property of the size and scale of the Hotel is likely in excess of $325-350k per key. As such, the Property presents an attractive basis substantially below replacement costs. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS LONG-TERM RESILIENCY OF HOUSTON Houston stands as a prime example of a regional economy achieving strength through diversification. Although Houston’s overall market experienced volatility through 2015 with a drop in the price of oil, the metro’s long-term economic outlook remains very bright. The following key facts are examples of Houston’s economic diversity and resiliency: • Houston’s GDP has grown 39% in the past four years – no other major U.S. city comes close • Houston has experienced tremendous job creation of over 100,000 annually from 2012- 2014, and continued to add jobs in 2015, despite a drop in the price of oil. For the year ending November 2015, Houston’s payroll gained an additional 23,700 jobs • Home to 26 Fortune 500 companies and 52 Fortune 1000 firms • Currently more than $2.2 billion in downtown development projects underway, with another $2 billion planned • 5th most populous MSA with 6.6 million residents and another 677,000 projected to be added by 2020, according to Moody’s (ranking #1 in the U.S.) • Over 3 million jobs in the MSA — of which 1.2 million have been added since 2000 — and an additional 302,000 projected to be added by 2020, according to Moody’s (ranking #6 in the U.S.) PROPERTY OVERVIEW Address: 400 Dallas Street, Houston, TX 77002 Guestrooms: 350 Site Area: +/- 1.15 acres (Fee simple) Year Opened / Last Major Renovation: 1980/2008 Function Space: +/- 18,000 SF including two fully divisible ballrooms Food & Beverage: • Trofi Restaurant & Bar • Lobby Lounge/Bar • In-room dining Amenities: • 24-hour fitness center • 24-hour business center • Sundry shop • Valet parking Segmentation (Dec-15 YE): Transient: 75% Group: 25% ALLEN PARKWAY SIXTH WARD MEMORIAL LOCATION OVERVIEW FIRST WARD WEST DALLAS INTERSTATE 45 Metropolitan Hobby Center Garage Heritage Plaza City for the Downtown Garage Hall Performing Arts Aquarium Allen Annex Center Garage BAGBY Three Post Ofce Allen Heritage Redevelopment Doubletree Plaza Public City Bayou Center Hotel Library Hall Place 1600 Smith Antioch Garage Baptist Church Two Continental Allen One Center Chevron Center Allen Julia Ideson Bob Casey Wortham 500 Crowne Center 1100 Smith Building U.S. Jefferson Plaza One Garage Theater Courthouse White Oak Bayou SMITH 10 1401 Smith Houston Mickey Hyatt 1100 Wells One Bank of Alley Lyric KBR Garage Lanier STATION Ballet 600 Regency Fargo Shell STATION Jones INTERSTATE 10 Leland Jefferson Tower Chevron Regency Louisiana Public America Theatre Centre Center Federal Two 1400 Louisiana Garage Hotel Plaza Plaza Works Center Plaza Building Garage LOUISIANA 1500 Louisiana KBR Garage Wedge 777 Clay Centerpoint Kinder Two Pennzoil Jones Market International Total Morgan Shell 717 Texas Square Garage Garage P Plaza Energy Tower P Plaza Place Hall 710 Tower Tower Preston MILAM HPD Travis J.P.

  • The Astros' Sign-Stealing Scandal
    The Astros’ Sign-Stealing Scandal Major League Baseball (MLB) fosters an extremely competitive environment. Tens of millions of dollars in salary (and endorsements) can hang in the balance, depending on whether a player performs well or poorly. Likewise, hundreds of millions of dollars of value are at stake for the owners as teams vie for World Series glory. Plus, fans, players and owners just want their team to win. And everyone hates to lose! It is no surprise, then, that the history of big-time baseball is dotted with cheating scandals ranging from the Black Sox scandal of 1919 (“Say it ain’t so, Joe!”), to Gaylord Perry’s spitter, to the corked bats of Albert Belle and Sammy Sosa, to the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in the 1990s and early 2000s. Now, the Houston Astros have joined this inglorious list. Catchers signal to pitchers which type of pitch to throw, typically by holding down a certain number of fingers on their non-gloved hand between their legs as they crouch behind the plate. It is typically not as simple as just one finger for a fastball and two for a curve, but not a lot more complicated than that. In September 2016, an Astros intern named Derek Vigoa gave a PowerPoint presentation to general manager Jeff Luhnow that featured an Excel-based application that was programmed with an algorithm. The algorithm was designed to (and could) decode the pitching signs that opposing teams’ catchers flashed to their pitchers. The Astros called it “Codebreaker.” One Astros employee referred to the sign- stealing system that evolved as the “dark arts.”1 MLB rules allowed a runner standing on second base to steal signs and relay them to the batter, but the MLB rules strictly forbade using electronic means to decipher signs.

Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural features designed to accommodate the conditions under which they are placed, and their individual costs reflect the sophistication of these features.

The 37-story masterpiece is widely acclaimed, a City of Houston Landmark recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. Together with 708 Main Street – acquired by Jones in 1908 – the property comprises an entire city block in Downtown Houston.
