The Commons TAMPA, FLORIDA The Commons TAMPA, FLORIDA OFFERING SUMMARY 200 Units Prime Value-Add Opportunity with the Submarket’s Largest Floor plans and a Central Location Proximate to Tampa’s Top Demand Drivers Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (“HFF”) a Florida licensed real estate broker. Offering Summary Holliday Fenoglio Fowler L.P. (“HFF”) is pleased to present the exciting opportunity to acquire The Commons (the “Property”), an attractive 200-unit community with the largest floor plans in its submarket and centrally located in Tampa, Florida. The Commons offers investors both strong cash flow, as well as tremendous upside potential through the implementation of a targeted value-add strategy. Constructed in 1972 and held under long-term ownership for more than two decades, the Property has been well maintained, highlighted by the full replacement of the exterior walls with HardiePlank siding five years ago, and is well positioned for a new owner to focus future capital dollars on value-add improvements. Recently completed interior upgrades to 21 units at the Property have already achieved exceptional results, commanding monthly rent premiums of $110. The Property differentiates itself with extra-large floor plans among a mix of 120 two-bedroom units (including 24 townhome units), 56 three-bedroom units, and 24 four-bedroom units, averaging a remarkable 1,274 sf - more than 58% larger than the average of the Property’s nearby competitors. Additionally, the Property offers all two-story buildings in a low-density setting with large open spaces and an appealing array of amenities to make the Property an ideal choice for renters, particularly for families which represent a large portion of the Property’s tenant base. The Commons enjoys a quiet residential setting, yet is extremely convenient to major employment centers, top retail destinations and only a half mile from the Dale Mabry Highway commercial corridor. Residents are able to walk their children directly across the street to an elementary school, and they are a 15 minute drive to Tampa’s main employment nodes – Westshore Business District, Downtown Tampa, and the University of South Florida and its surrounding Innovation District. Additionally, the 120-bed Florida Hospital Carrollwood and the 486-bed St. Joseph’s Hospital are less than one mile and three miles away, respectively. Boasting a desirable, central location, the largest floor plans in the market, and the exciting promise of tangible value-add upside, The Commons represents an ideal investment opportunity poised to deliver outstanding results for years to come.

These spacious units feature vinyl plank flooring on first floor units, fully-equipped kitchens, washer/dryer connections, outdoor storage closets, fenced-in patios extending from the 24 townhome units, and private screened patios/balconies on all other units. Spanning 200 units across 14.6 acres, the Property offers a quiet, low-density setting laid out in a rectangular configuration with the Property’s 20 residential buildings surrounding an expansive central courtyard that offers ample green space, as well as a sparkling swimming pool, dog park, sports court, and several barbecue and picnic areas. Other amenities include a laundry center, resident clubroom, and secured gated access to the community. Excellent Condition Following Major Capital Improvements Current ownership has taken excellent care of the Property, leaving it in great shape with minimal deferred maintenance. In the last 4 years, $1.1 million has been spent on such items as the installation of high-quality HardiePlank siding throughout the Property, the resurfacing and repaving of the pool and pool deck, and the replacement of 4 roofs in the last 5 years with the balance of the roofs having been replaced since 2004. These recent improvements allow a new owner to allocate the majority of their capital budget towards accretive value-add upgrades.

While the great majority of units still have original interior finishes, the unit upgrades that have been completed to date have proven to be highly successful. Notably, one building comprising 16 units was reconstructed following a fire in 2012. These units were outfitted with updated interior finishes, including stainless- steel appliances, upgraded cabinetry, vinyl plank flooring, faux granite countertops, built-in microwaves, modern light fixtures, six-panel interior doors, and washer/dryer machines. These units, along with 5 additional units that have been upgraded to a similar finish level, command $110 rent premiums over units with standard interiors, demonstrating the substantial upside that can be realized through a strategic value-add program. 7 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MACDILL AIRFORCE BASE 20,000 EMPLOYEES GATEWAY OFFICE MARKET DOWNTOWN TAMPA 60,000 EMPLOYEES Hillsborough Bay WESTSHORE BUSINESS DISTRICT 66,500 EMPLOYEES The Location 94,000 EMPLOYEES Tampa Bay University of Tampa 8,300 Enrollment Howard Frankland Bridge Abundance of Nearby Shopping, Hillsborough Community College 29,000 Enrollment International Plaza Dining, and Entertainment St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital 486-Bed Hospital TAMPA Less than a half-mile east of Dale Mabry Raymond James Stadium INTERNATIONAL Highway (68,000 AADT), the Property is Home of Tampa Bay Bucs AIRPORT proximate to Tampa Bay’s most traveled Steinbrenner Field commercial corridor, offering a nearly Al Lopez Field Home of Yankees Spring Training endless array of restaurants, retailers, and Jesuit High School entertainment options.

Mitchell spent three seasons with the Reds, batting .332 with 50 doubles, 55 home runs and 167 RBI MLB.COM 'Breaking' news: Cingrani develops cutter Reds lefty works in offseason to add another pitch offering By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | February 22nd, 2017 + 50 COMMENTS GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Reds left-hander Tony Cingrani can throw his four-seam fastball 95 mph, and consistent with his career, he used it often in 2016. It was so often that PITCHf/x data showed he threw his fastball more than 87 percent of the time. Cingrani started using a split-fingered fastball sometime in the second half, but he realized it was time to diversify the repertoire even more. He needed a breaking ball and used the offseason to develop a cut fastball. "It's just another way to get guys out," Cingrani said. "It gets hitters off thinking it's just going to be a fastball. I'm still trying to work on how I want that ball to move, but it's good and feels comfortable." At the suggestion of teammate and fellow reliever Caleb Cotham, Cingrani traveled to Kent, Wash., in the fall and worked out at Driveline Baseball. The facility, owned by Kyle Boddy, has gained a reputation for providing data-driven pitch training and also encourages building arm strength by playing catch with weighted balls. "Caleb is a pretty smart cat," Cingrani said.

Brandmeyer: Baseball and the American Dream: A Conversation With Al Lopez BASEBALL AND THE AMERICAN DREAM: A CONVERSATION WITH AL LOPEZ by Gerard A. Brandmeyer Al Lopez occupies a special niche in the history of Tampa. To his surprise, Lopez became a much heralded symbol of his native Ybor City community. He did this by achieving prominence in major league baseball in a professional career that spanned forty-five years, 1925-69, with thirty-six of these years spent at the major league level first as player and later as manager. The highlights of Lopez’s career are a reflection of the era and the man. At the tender age of sixteen, and therefore technically ineligible to bind himself by contract, Lopez was coaxed nonetheless into signing with the neighborhood Tampa Smokers, forerunner of the modern day Tarpons of the Florida State League.

    MINNESOTA TWINS BASEBALL CLUB METROPOLITAN STADIUM HOME OF MINNESOTA TWINS /EprP.1n/inf/ /I , AMERICAN LEAGUE _j1,, i'; , Upp er /'ZIweoi Year of the Great Confluence For the big-league starved fans of the Upper Midwest, the Big Day came on October 26, 1 9 d6a0t,e of the transfer of the American League Senators from Washington to the Minneapolis and St. Paul territory, and the merger of three proud baseball traditions. For their new fans to gloat about, the renamed Minnesota Twins brought with them three pennants won in Washington, in 1924, '25 and '33, and a world championship in 1924. Now, their new boosters could claim a share of such Senator greats as Clark C. (Old Fox) Griffith, Wolter (Big Train) Johnson, Joe Cronin, Lean (Goose) Goslin, Clyde (Deerfoot) Milan, Ed Delahanty, James (Mickey) Vernon, Roy Sievers, and others. Reciprocally, the Twins could now absorb the glories of 18 American Asso- ciation pennants - nine won by St. Paul and nine by Minneapolis - in 59 seasons. They could be reminded of the tremendous pennant burst by St. Paul in 1920, with the Saints winning 115, losing only 49, posting a .701 percentage, and running away from Joe McCarthy's second-place Louisville Colonels by 28 1/2 games. Mike Kelley, the American Association's grand old man, managed that one and four other Saints flag winners before buying the Minneapolis club and putting together three more championship combinations. The pattern for winning boll in St. Paul was set early, in the first year of minor league ball, in fact.

If you stand still long enough on some of Tampa’s baseball fields, you can hear the crowds cheering, or, because nobody is all that polite in the ball field, booing. And if you try, you can reach back to the days of El Señor, Al Lopez, the city’s first Hall of Famer, and imagine the fantasies he fired in young men who wanted to do what he did, some of whom succeeded beyond what they ever dreamed.

"Every man for himself" accurately captures the spirit of Sunshine State politics throughout most of its history. The factions, cliques, and machines which have jousted for power often arose from the economic and social diversity found among the state's population. With the lure of land and a salubrious climate, Florida has attracted a variety of adventurers looking for a new and successful life (or retiring from an old and successful life). Some of the most able of these pioneers entered the political arena and competed with varying degrees of success. In 1882, John W.

    FROM PICKET LINES TO PICKET FENCES: LATINAS AND THE REMAKING OF THE JIM CROW SOUTH, 1930-1964 Sarah McNamara A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Zaragosa Vargas Jacquelyn Hall Sarah Deutsch Katherine Turk Emily Burrill © 2016 Sarah McNamara ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Sarah McNamara: From Picket Lines to Picket Fences: Latinas and the Remaking of the Jim Crow South, 1930-1964. (Under the direction of Zaragosa Vargas and Jacquelyn Hall) “From Picket Lines to Picket Fences: Latinas and the Remaking of the Jim Crow South, 1930-1964,” traces the transformation of Latina/o politics and culture in Ybor City and Tampa, Florida. This case study examines and compares the actions of two generations of Latinas as they fought for economic equality, social dignity, and political representation in the early battles for labor, women’s, and civil rights in the United States and abroad. I argue that Latinas were effective as political strategists and public figures because their gender facilitated their activism and protected them from the threats of racial and nativist violence experienced by men of color. In turn, these women’s actions and choices became part of a series of changes that would redefine the meaning and power of latinidad in Florida’s political culture. More than a story of regional activism, this project investigates the relationship between the nation and immigration. It considers the impact of global cultures on American identity to ask crucial questions about how race, ethnicity, and political affiliation influence who has access to American citizenship and why this matters.

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings January 17, 2019 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1970-357 players are available in the free-agent draft. Only Tom Carroll, Will McEnaney, Ray Knight, Pat Zachry and Richard Williams, of the Reds draft picks, will make major league appearances MLB.COM Marty Brennaman set for final season in booth Reds broadcasting icon, 76, entering 46th year with ballclub By Mark Sheldon MLB.com @m_sheldon Jan. 16th, 2019 CINCINNATI -- Reds radio broadcasting icon Marty Brennaman never planned on having any big retirement announcement or a final lap around Major League ballparks to say goodbye. But Brennaman is sure to be showered with great affection from around Cincinnati and the nation now. He announced Wednesday at Great American Ball Park that the 2019 season -- his 46th year with the club -- will be his final one calling games before he retires. Talking about his decision made him emotional at times. "I'm looking toward the season with great trepidation but affectionately so. It will be very tough. Today has been tough," Brennaman said. "I don't think the full impact of this thing will happen until maybe one year from now, when everybody is packing up and getting ready for Arizona because nobody loves Spring Training more than I do." Brennaman, 76, is a legendary part of the fabric of Cincinnati sports, having been with the Reds since 1974. A 2000 Ford Frick Award winner at the Baseball Hall of Fame, he's been the voice covering three World Series championships in 1975-76 and 1990. Among many other big moments, he was behind the mic when Pete Rose became the all-time hits leader in 1985, when Tom Browning threw a perfect game in '88, and for Tom Seaver's no- hitter in 1978 and Ken Griffey Jr.'s 500th and 600th career home runs in 2004 and '08.
