The accompanying appraisal report identifies the subject property, describes the market for this type of property, and presents the specific market data and analysis leading to our estimate of value. The subject property consists of two 6-unit multifamily buildings totaling 12 multifamily units. The buildings are recorded as having been built in 1989 and 1990. The buildings are situated on three parcels totaling 18,296 square feet located at 3410 Colby Avenue in the Port Gardner neighborhood of Everett. The subject’s units are both townhouse and flat style and include 3 levels of living area plus covered off- street parking accessible from the alley. Four units are one-bedroom one-bathroom flats, four units are two-bedroom one-bathroom flats, and four units are two-bedroom two-bathroom townhouses. In this report, we have estimated the subject’s current market value effective on the date of inspection, February 20th, 2020. The report has been prepared with the intent to comply with the Standards of Professional Practice of the Appraisal Institute and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Foundation. It has also been prepared with the intent to comply with Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended in August 1994, governing appraisals used for federally related transactions. This appraisal is intended to comply with the OCC’s amended Appraisal Rule, effective June 7, 1994, as published in the Federal Register, Volume 59, No. 108, and with the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines, dated October 27, 1994, and updated December 2010.

It is located on three separate parcels spanning six and a half standard Everett lots. The subject is located in R-5 zoning, allowing for development with no unit density maximum. Development in Everett has increased over the past five years, with successful lease-up periods and relatively inexpensive land attracting regional investors. Regional and local job growth is expected to continue to rise, and supply and demand for new multifamily units appears to be in equilibrium, both locally and regionally. As of our last vacancy survey (December 2019), Snohomish County vacancy rates match the regional average of 3.8% of all units, which is considered a healthy vacancy rate. Snohomish County also lead our absorption survey with the highest average new building absorption at 25.2 units/month, indicating continued healthy demand for units in the Snohomish County submarket. The subject improvements consist of two 6-unit buildings built around 1990 in excellent condition. The improvements’ exterior and landscaping are very attractive and well-situated on the subject parcels. The interiors have also been well-maintained in comparison to other similarly aged properties. In consideration of highest and best use, we considered the financial outlook of condominium conversion, but ultimately concluded that continued use as leasehold apartments yielded an overall higher market value. Rents for many of the subject units are leased on a month-to-month basis and can reasonably be increased to better meet market rental rates. The following page displays our proforma rents and expenses, concluding with an indication of market value. We have utilized a capitalization rate of 5.000% for the subject property. While other comparable sales have transacted at lower and higher capitalization rates, 5.00% was chosen for this assignment due to the subject’s excellent maintenance, attractive exterior/access, and continued compression of capitalization rates in the Everett area. The table below displays some metrics of sales for the comparable properties analyzed: Secondary Metrics of Sales Income Vacancy Expenses CAP Rate Property Units GRM /SF Allowance EGIM /Unit (primary) San Juan Apartments 16 14.4 $ 1.27 3% 14.9 $4,124 4.27% 3617 Hoyt Avenue 8 11.6 $ 1.87 3% 12.0 $4,218 6.04% Everett 4-plex 4 17.0 $ 1.35 5% 17.9 $3,743 3.84% 3726 Wetmore 6 13.9 $ 1.32 5% 14.6 $5,486 4.78% Nassau Terrace Apartments 10 9.8 $ 1.72 4% 10.2 $4,222 6.81% Average: 13.4 $ 1.51 4% 13.9 $4,359 5.15% The scope of this appraisal called for us to perform two approaches to value: An Income Approach and a sales comparison approach. The Income Approach is our best indicator of market value; the Sales Approach is also useful but treated as a secondary indicator of market value. We have reconciled the two approaches’ value conclusions accordingly and have reached a market value of $2,600,000 ($216,667/unit) for the subject.

Box 3062280, Tallahassee, FL, 32306, United States ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: The public sector can harness its authority to control land uses to secure valuable public benefits from real Value capture estate developments. This paper investigates how five major U.S. cities—Boston, Chicago, New York, San Upzoning Francisco, and Seattle—are using their land use regulation powers to create and capture value for the public Zoning negotiations benefit. An analysis of the zoning and entitlement processes of the 20 largest real estate development projects Land use exactions in each city reveals that value has been captured from all 100 projects. Furthermore, these cities implicitly Real estate development differentiated value capture into two distinct components: value creation and value capture. Among the100 projects, cities created value for 90 projects by allowing greater density and height—a practice often referred to as “upzoning.” Distinguishing such upzoning incidences from traditional land use exaction tools is im- portant because the added value gives local governments greater legitimacy in asking for public benefits. The experience of the five cities further revealed that value capture strategies can be customized to adapt tounique regulatory, political, and cultural contexts. Lastly, despite the fact that the majority of the upzoned projects increased density and height through project-specific negotiations, none of the cities had clear standards or evaluation frameworks for determining: how much value was created, what can be asked for in return, and who should benefit from the value captured.

  • Seattle Trademark History Tour
    HISTO RK RY A TO M U E R D A O F R T Visit Foley Hoag’s Trademark & Copyright Law blog at trademarkandcopyrightlawblog.com foleyhoag.com SEATTLE TRADEMARK HISTORY TOUR This year, the great city of Seattle, Washington is the location of both the International Trademark Association Annual Meeting (May 19-23) and the American Intellectual Property Law Association Spring Meeting (May 15-17). If you are one of the many lawyers attending these events and you want a Seattle trademark experience, you could do the obvious and visit locations associated with the city’s famous modern brands. Alternatively, you could go back in time a bit further. Washington became the 42nd state in 1889, the same year the Great Seattle Fire destroyed much of the city. A combination of new railroad lines and post-fire construction led to a boom in population and commercial activity. On July 17, 1897, this already-promising economic climate went into hyper-drive when the S.S. Portland arrived from Alaska, heralding the beginning of the Klondike gold rush. The trademark disputes that arose from this economic activity started working their way into the published opinions of the Ninth Circuit and the newly christened Washington Supreme Court in the first decades of the twentieth century. We took a look at the first ten trademark disputes involving the city of Seattle (which date from the turn of the century up to the start of World War I).

    AffordableAffordable HousingHousing DesignDesign StudioStudio 1 Annual Summer Fair at Othello Square 2LIHI Tiny House ABOUT Our Firm Since our founding, Weber Thompson has designed over 10,000 residences in low, mid- and high-rise structures. Every day, people from all walks of life come home to one of our designs. From young to old, individuals to families of all kinds, from those with lower incomes to the affluent, we are proud to serve the full breadth of our community. This work motivates us; it’s sparks our passion to create. We want to make a difference in people’s lives and in the community. For these homes to be successful, every detail matters. We understand the intimate role these spaces play in people’s lives. To that end, we work with providers to meet the needs of their residents, designing homes that support them in their daily lives by providing healthy places; places of safety and respite that are flexible enough to allow for a wide range of living styles, ages, family sizes and configurations. Equally important, and perhaps more difficult to capture, is the level of personal commitment Weber Thompson, and this team in particular, brings to serving our affordable housing clients. Whether it’s organizing a book drive for the Raven Terrace lending library, building a Tiny House for LIHI, or working through a gazillion permutations of the tax credit programs with Bellwether, Weber Thompson approaches affordable housing as part of our mission. We understand how difficult these projects are and how hard our clients work to serve their communities.
