    STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS No. 2017-023 REDEVELOPMENT OF THE FORMER H. D. KING PLANT SITE FT. PIERCE, FL SUBMITTED BY: 1200 W. PLATT ST., STE. 201 • TAMPA, FL • 33606 O. (813) 777-6981 • F. (813) 315-7141 CONTENTS Cover Letter 4 About Framework Group 6 Preliminary Development Program 8 Representative Projects 12 References 24 On behalf of Framework Group, LLC, I’m pleased to submit the following response to the City of Ft. Pierce RFQ No. 2017-023 for the redevelopment of the former H.D. King Plant site. Established in 2010 and based in Tampa, FL, Framework Group is a real estate development, consulting, and contracting company focused on high quality multi- family rental housing in exceptional urban neighborhoods. The Framework Team consists of seasoned real estate professionals, each with extensive and diverse industry experience. Framework’s Representative Projects demonstrate the team’s skilled and thoughtful approach to the development business, with each project setting the standard for quality within its submarket. While Framework focuses nearly exclusively on multi-family development, the potential of the H.D. King site as a mixed use development cannot be overlooked. As such, the Preliminary Development Program that follows includes the diversity of uses that this site deserves — a 200-unit apartment community, 120-room hotel, 34,000 SF conference center, and ground level retail and restaurants lining Indian River Drive. A program so ambitious will certainly take the collaboration and cooperation of a number of parties, including additional developers and the City of Ft. Pierce. We propose that Framework acts as Master Developer on the project, responsible for carrying out the residential development and overseeing the eventual Master Development Program in partnership with the City of Ft.
