Submitted To: Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2801 Kensington Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23221 Submitted By: The Ottery Group 1810 August Drive Silver Spring, Maryland 20902 April 2008 ABSTRACT Beginning in late 2006, and extending to 2007, a project by The Ottery Group on behalf of the City of Hampton and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) was undertaken to complete and correct a comprehensive survey of historic resources within the City of Hampton, Virginia. The project involved editing and completing previously compiled documentation forms, checking maps and photographic labels, and completing the final survey report. The project also included the documentation of a minimum of fifteen historic resources at the reconnaissance level, and preparation of a scripted PowerPoint presentation about the history and architecture of the City of Hampton. Beginning in late 1999, and extending to 2001, a comprehensive survey of historic resources within the City of Hampton, Virginia was undertaken on behalf of the City and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.

    Market Analysis Sunset Hampton Apartments Hampton, Virginia Prepared for: Mr. Brian Staub Marlyn Development Corporation June, 2018 S. Patz and Associates, Inc. 46175 Westlake Drive, Suite 400 Potomac Falls, Virginia 20165 1 June 11, 2018 Mr. Brian Staub Chief Financial Officer Marlyn Development Corporation 308 35th Street, Suite 101 Virginia Beach, VA 23451 Dear Mr. Staub: This will set forth our full narrative market study for the proposed development of the 160-unit Sunset Hampton Apartments that are planned to be built during 2019 and 2020 for 2021 delivery and occupancy on an attractive site in the Sunset Creek neighborhood of Hampton, Virginia. The apartments units are to be affordable, with rents limited at or below 60% of AMI for the Hampton Roads Region of Virginia. Once built, Sunset Hampton will have rent and income restrictions, but no age restrictions. Our analysis determined that the Sunset Hampton proposal was very attractive and will be very competitive for the Newport News/Hampton affordable apartment market. The units are properly priced, and the proposed rents are slightly below market. The units are spacious in size. The unit mix will serve a wide range of renter households. Sunset Hampton has basic amenities and an adequate number of on-site surface parking spaces. The income market for Sunset Hampton, consisting of affordable units at or below 60%of AMI, has a low vacancy rate and a limited supply of affordable apartments units that are comparable with the Sunset Hampton proposal. Vacancy does exist for older and less attractive properties. Two apartment pipeline proposals are under construction or in active planning and will add 150± new units to the market.
