TWO WESTLAKE PARK 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TWO WESTLAKE PARK 580 Westlake Park Blvd. • Houston, Texas 2 JLL Capital Markets, on behalf of Rialto Capital Partners, is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a 100% fee simple interest in Two Westlake Park (“the Property”), a 454,843 square foot, Class A trophy office tower located in the heart of the Energy Corridor submarket of West Houston. Two Westlake is located within Westlake Park, a 2.8 million square foot Class A office complex situated on 58 acres in the epicenter of the Energy Corridor and is considered to be west Houston’s premier suburban office development. Until recently, Westlake Park’s occupancy was in the mid to upper 90%. In fact, Westlake Park produced a 96.3% average occupancy for the decade prior to 2016 when Conoco moved to their new headquarters. Resetting the basis of Two Westlake to a fraction of its’ competition will allow an investor the opportunity to lease the vacant space at rental rates and deal term structures that other buildings will not be able to match.

HOUSTON’S ENERGY CORRIDOR PREMIER OFFICE PARK Westlake Park is considered the premier office park within west Houston due to its location, construction quality, and amenity base. The 58-acre park contains approximately 2.8 million square feet and sets itself apart from the competition by offering tenants a true campus and park-like setting, with superior ingress/ egress to Houston’s primary thoroughfares and upscale neighborhoods. The first three buildings were all constructed by Hines from 1981 to 1982. Four Westlake was developed by Patrinely in 1992, while BP developed Helios Plaza, the first LEED* Platinum certified building in 2009 which serves as BP’s trading facility, and then further committed to the park when it delivered its Supercomputing Center, the world’s largest supercomputer for commercial research, in late 2013. HP and Intel helped develop the processing power at the center of BP’s five-year, $100 million investment. HIGHLY VISIBLE TO I-10 WITH GREAT INGRESS/EGRESS One of the overall reasons for the historical success and growth of the Energy Corridor is its superior access and proximity to high-end residential communities. Two Westlake is positioned better than most in this regard being at the epicenter of the submarket and conveniently located along Interstate DRIVE TIMES TO MAJOR 10, Houston’s dominant east-west thoroughfare. As such, it enjoys some of the THOROUGHFARES AND SUBMARKETS best ingress/egress in the submarket, as there are multiple ways to access the Destination Drive Time park via Interstate 10, Memorial Drive, Eldridge and Highway 6. Memorial Drive I-10 1 Minute connects the park to the Memorial Villages to the east where many executives reside, while Interstate 10 runs west to a number of master-planned suburban Highway 6 3 Minutes communities, including Cinco Ranch, Houston’s best-selling community. The Beltway 8 6 Minutes location also allows for tremendous visibility from Interstate 10, which has over 447,000 vehicles traveling along it every day. West Park Tollway 11 Minutes I-610 12 Minutes Grand Parkway 13 Minutes The Galleria 18 Minutes Downtown 21 Minutes TWO WESTLAKE PARK 5 INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS SINGLE TENANT OPPORTUNITY With BP and ConocoPhillips vacating the Property within the last four years, investors will be left with a tremendous opportunity to offer the largest direct contiguous block of Class A space in the Energy Corridor to a single user. Additionally, Ownership will have the rare opportunity to offer building signage with visibility to more than 447,000 vehicles per day via I-10. Plus, the ability to offer signage rights will be a major advantage when competing for a major tenant. MINIMAL NEAR-TERM CAPITAL REQUIRED Two Westlake has been impeccably maintained with minimal near-term capital expenditures required. Over $11.0 million has been spent since 2006 on capital projects including a complete modernization of all building elevators, replacement of the chillers and cooling tower, replacement of the fire pumps, and a lighting retrofit. In addition, previous ownership spent $6 million to convert the former Westlake club space to cold shell, allowing new investors to capitalize on infrastructure already put in place. The space which is atop the garage features floor to ceiling glass, 14’5” - 15’-6” floor to deck heights on floors 6 and 7 respectively allowing for ceiling heights of at least 12’, and oversized restrooms with hard wall partitions. 6 HOUSTON OVERVIEW HOUSTON IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE Houston has one of the most resilient economies in the country and it has shown time and time again.
