Kamps Executive Director NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services 1 Centre Street, 20th Floor North New York, NY 10007 Re: Brooklyn Bridge Park – Tobacco Warehouse Part of 51 Water Street N/E/C Water Street & New Dock Street Brooklyn, New York File No. 13-208 Dear Mr. Kamps: At your request, we have inspected and performed the attached self-contained appraisal report of the above-captioned property, which is located at the northeast corner of Water Street and New Dock Street in the DUMBO/Fulton Ferry section of the Borough of Brooklyn, KingsCounty, New York. The property is identified on the tax maps of Kings County as Block 26, part of Lot 1. The subject property is currently owned by the State of New York and is known as the “Tobacco Warehouse” site. The subject is part of the Brooklyn Bridge Park project site, an 85-acre park that would stretch along 1.3± miles of waterfront area consisting of piers, landscaped areas, ecological habitats, recreational facilities, a marina, commercial space, and upland and water areas. It will provide a scenic overlook as well as access to a public waterfront plaza, several landmark buildings and a public pier and esplanade. The subject property is part of lands that involved funding from the Federal government under the Land and Water Conservation Fund (L&WCF). As part of the project, the City of New York is currently seeking to “convert” the property into a non-park use. We have been requested to value the subject on the hypothetical condition that it is not subject to any park use restrictions. The subject property is comprised of an irregular-shaped parcel of M3-1 zoned land within a Waterfront Area and is subject to the special regulations as per the New York City Zoning Resolution. The subject property consists of 27,374± square feet of land plus 4,318± square feet of land situated within the easement area of Old Dock Street, for a total land area of 31,692± square feet.

REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS AND CONSULTANTS NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services Page 2 April 2, 2013 The site was formerly improved with an old tobacco warehouse (industrial) building that was built in the 1800’s. However, throughout the years the building has deteriorated, with the only remains being the exterior walls. The property does not have a roof, windows or any other improvements, except for the exterior walls. The subject property is predominately comprised of vacant land (open space), which is encompassed by the exterior walls of the original building. In addition, the exterior walls have open cavities where windows used to be, which opens the space up even more. It has been
