Apartment Community Development (“ACD”) has closed on the site and received zoning which allows for the planned 174-unit, 12-story, mixed-use, multi-family LEED®-Gold building (the "Project"). Cherry Creek North Following is an overview of the project’s capitalization and summary: Equity: 95 percent of the Project’s required equity will be invested by Denver Apartments, LLC 5 percent invested by Apartment Community Development. Leverage: Anticipated loan-to-cost ratio of 75 percent. Debt coverage ratio in excess of 1.5x percent upon stabilization, which is defined as 94 percent occupancy, anticipated within 24 months of the Project’s Certificate of Occupancy. Lender Memorandum Page 5 Table 1 - Project Summary Development Summary: Cherry Creek Units: 174 Average Unit Size: 930 Average Rent (2015): $2,131 Average Rent per Sq.Ft.

Ft. $114 Hard Cost Per Unit $196,208 Cost Per Unit: $297,230 Projected Returns: 23% IRR Project Cost: Total Project costs will be approximately $51.7 million The Project’s aggregate cost per residential unit is approximately $297,000. Development Team ACD’s high-quality, budget-sensitive approach to multi-family LEED®- certified buildings explains how the company emerged from the Great Recession as one of Denver’s best-respected developers. As testament to ACD’s performance, the Project marks the third time that a Denver Apartments investment entity has invested in an ACD development. Location: The Site is in one of the most desired neighborhoods in the Rocky Mountains, and one of the most prestigious addresses in Denver. Cherry Creek North is arguably the premier shopping and dining neighborhood between Chicago and the West Coast, attracting national concept restaurants from the world-renowned Dr. Andrew Weil’s just-opened True Foods to timeless and established luxury retailers like Hermes. High barriers to entry due to zoning and neighbor resistance have meant virtually no new residential rental development in Cherry Creek in the past twenty years. The Cherry Creek North area is demonstrably different than Downtown Denver, and pent-up demand for the location as well as the Project’s finishes and amenities will boost absorption, retention and rental rates. Lender Memorandum Page 6 Target Market: With its ready access to shopping, top-tier restaurants, the Country Club and golf course as well as its central location within Denver, the coveted address will, ACD believes, appeal to three primary market segments: 1. High-Income Cherry Creek Employees – Given the recent new-construction and renovation of high-quality, high-priced office buildings in Cherry Creek, there are increasing numbers of high-income in-migrants that have come to work in these oil and gas, legal, wealth management, hedge fund and other offices. These highly-educated employees are very often coming from highly-walkable cities like San Francisco, New York, Boston and Chicago. They are drawn to Cherry Creek for its walkability and high-quality shopping and public spaces. The Project will fit naturally for this highly-selective demographic. 2. Mountain Pied-à-Terre - ACD expects that this Cherry Creek North location will attract a substantial number of high-net-worth, full- and part-time mountain dwellers who wish to have a pied-à-terre in a shopping and dining district, more vibrant and comfortable than downtown. 3. Younger, Fashion-Conscious – As Cherry Creek is the center of fashion for the Rocky Mountain region; ACD anticipates that younger residents will be drawn to the property for its adjacency to Cherry Creek’s fashion and retail scene. These are residents who will gain identity from this adjacency. Rental Rates & Unit Layout: Cherry Creek North is a classic example of demand outstripping supply. The Cherry Creek neighborhood, long one of Denver’s most sought-after addresses, nonetheless has had a shortage of high-rise apartment units. Despite not being located in Cherry Creek North, occupancy is historically extremely tight for high-rise units at the Seasons II. As a result, current Cherry Creek North rental rates are high and vacancy low. The Seasons II in Cherry Creek East is a prime example: built in 2009, the property has enjoyed low vacancy rates and high rents despite challenging unit layouts. And despite an average unit size of nearly 1,200 and a location that is inferior to the Project’s, the Seasons II commands over $2.20 per square foot rents. The Project’s projected rental rates of $2,130, or $2.29 per square foot, appears reasonable relative to the market considering: Average Unit Size - 930 square feet, a quarter smaller than the Seasons II Location - Within the walkable, “village” feel of Cherry Creek North ACD Experience – ACD as a manager has achieved significant premiums in its managed properties and has developed a recognized skill at driving revenues by creating community. Additionally, ACD has a proven track record of understanding a market, designing units and Lender Memorandum Page 7 amenities for that market and exceeding market rents with superlative self-management. ACD’s LEED®-Gold multifamily project on the edge of Denver’s Central Business District, is exceeding all projected performance metrics. The property is achieving $2.11 per square foot (inclusive of parking) net effective rents. The project, which received its TCO in December and began move- ins on December 26th, 2012, is currently 60 percent leased, only four months after delivery of the Certificate of Occupancy. Despite the fact that location is generally considered an “emerging” neighborhood and the competitive properties have arguably better-located properties, ACD has been able to beat the effective net rent (inclusive of parking) of its competitive set of $1.86 per-square-foot rents. The prior project’s success is achieved in large part by understanding and delivering the market’s goals and aspirations. 1.2 Project Schedule The Project's Development Team anticipates a 20-month construction period with early occupancy on the lower floors starting in summer 2015. Table 2: Project Schedule Pre-Development & Development Schedule Land Closing April 2013 Loan Commitment August 2013 100 Percent Construction Documents October 2013 Construction Commencement December 2013 Pre-Leasing Activities April 2015 Occupancy July 2015 Construction Completion/Certificate of Occupancy December 2015 1.3 Building Program Unit Size: The Project’s 174 dwelling units range in size from 514 square feet to 1,548 square feet. The average unit size is 930 square feet. Almost all dwelling units will have outdoor balcony space. Retail/Commercial: The first floor will contain approximately 4,000 square feet of commercial space, allowing for a prominent restaurant that meshes well with the residential lobby and will become a residential leasing asset as well as an identity “icon” for the building. A high- end restaurant is the targeted occupant, and the building Lender Memorandum Page 8 design will include requisite restaurant infrastructure, including a grease trap, grease duct, 600 amp service, heating and cooling ready for distribution. The proforma includes $70 per foot for landlord-provided tenant improvements. The expected rent is $40 per foot which is likely low given recent comps such as True Foods (starting at $33 and rising to $38 with $100 of TI per foot) and Del Frisco’s on First and St.

Relionships ECONOMIC PROFILE & MARKET FACTS 2019 | 1 Boom continues PUBLISHER’S NOTE in Boulder Valley, Northern Colorado The numbers speak volumes: Low unemployment, strong population gains, surging bank deposits, growing economies. These are just some of the trends that can be identified in the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado by perusing the 2019 edition of the Economic Profile & Market Facts, an annual publi- cation of BizWest Media LLC. Almost without exception, communities in the region added population in the most-recent period available, but that hasn’t Christopher Wood Jeff Nuttall done much to alter the low unemployment rates that prevail in Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld counties. While low unemployment is good, it also points to widespread labor short- ages. Strong gains in gross domestic product point to a regional economy that shows few signs of slowing down. This publication provides insights on local communities and dominant industries such as aerospace, agribusiness, bioscience, clean tech, energy, natural products, the outdoor industry, tech- nology and other sectors. This year, we’ve added extended profiles of some of the re- gion’s fastest-growing communities, with statistical information provided for other communities of 5,000 population and up. As always, readers also will find a wealth of resources, includ- ing contact information for chambers of commerce, economic- development agencies, Small Business Development Centers and workforce centers. As always, we welcome your ideas for new features, charts or statistics and hope that you enjoy this overview of a very special region.

Problem Statement What specific Metro Vision-related regional problem/issue will the transportation project address? The Mall’s two greatest transportation challenges involve limited sidewalk capacity that jeopardizes pedestrian safety by increasing the opportunity for pedestrian/shuttle conflict; and frequent and costly maintenance of pavers that impede transit operations and negatively affect mobility and access to businesses and other destinations. Increased sidewalk congestion encourages pedestrians to travel in the transitway.

  • I Colorado (And So Will You)
    I Colorado (and So Will You) An Opinionated Local’s Guide to Denver and Beyond Exclusively for the 2012 AIUSA AGM Participants Howdy? Well, Denver doesn’t have its own greeting, but it has a lot to offer! While you are in the Mile High City to learn about human rights, enjoy the area’s great attractions. This guide (which is not an official publication of Amnesty International USA) gives a crash-course on Colorado’s past, present, lingo, historical venues, natural attractions, and restaurants in the vicinity and beyond of the Denver Marriott City Center – the site of the AIUSA AGM. For more tips, visit denver.org, colorado.com, or walk to the Visit Denver Information Center on 16th and California, one block south of Marriott. If you want another opinionated source of what to do, go to westword.com/bestOf/. Also, in the hotel room there are two guides to Denver (the large one has good maps). You can get a third one from the concierge desk, as well as a driving map of Colorado. To navigate in Denver, use your cardinal directions (or a GPS). Colorado is made of mountains (West) and plains (East). When you see the mountains in the Front Range, you are looking West. The reverse is East. If you are looking at the mountains, your left is South and right is North. Capisce? Denver is 5,280 feet above sea level. If you live in lower altitudes, you may feel dizzy and breathe with difficulty here. Stay hydrated – 8 glasses a day (alcohol doesn’t count; in fact, alcohol’s effects are stronger in higher altitudes).

    ULI Colorado Urban Land Institute, Colorado District Council Leadership in Responsible Land Use ―The Confluence‖ Advisory Panel, Technical Assistance Program Services (TAPS) June 10-11, 2008 BACKGROUND The Urban Land Institute (ULI) is a Washington, DC-based international 501-c-3 nonprofit organization that brings together professionals involved in real estate development, including investors, developers, architects, designers, planners, public officials and others committed to creating projects that strengthen communities and embody far-sighted design principles. The mission of the ULI is leadership in responsible land use to create sustainable and thriving communities worldwide. The Colorado District Council of the Urban Land Institute (ULI Colorado) was established in 1998 and now has nearly 1,500 members representing 26 land-use disciplines. ULI Colorado conducts educational activities and community outreach focused on transit-oriented development (TOD), workforce housing, compact regional growth, urban and suburban redevelopment, and related topics, and also organizes Advisory Panels through its Technical Assistance Program Services (TAPS) to examine the best possible development alternatives for a particular site. In 2008 ULI Colorado was asked by the panel sponsors (Suppa Corporation, the City and County of Denver, and Denver Councilwoman Judy Montero) to provide recommendations regarding design elements that should be included in the redevelopment of ―The Confluence‖ property at 15th and Little Raven. The sponsors wanted a reliable source that could offer nonpartisan, un-biased expertise to provide concrete action steps and creative solutions that would assist them in determining the appropriate height, density and intensity for development of the site. On June 10 and 11, 2008 a volunteer TAPS advisory panel convened by ULI Colorado and composed of ULI members came together to look at the development options.
