Miami location Avison Young | Confidential offering memorandum 5 Downtown Miami | Hotel Development Site 01. Historic Designation 139 NE 1st Street Miami, FL 33132 History & Restoration The Dade-Commonwealth Building (the “Property”) built in 1925 was originally a seventeen-story steel frame skyscraper constructed in the Commercial Style of architecture embellished with Neo-Classical features and was a pioneer as one of the first skyscrapers to be constructed in downtown Miami. The building opened its doors in March of 1926, following a year of expansion and mass migration of businesses to Miami. Among the new businesses attracted to the region was the Meyer-Kiser Bank of Indiana that financed as well as become a tenant in the building, ultimately coining the building the Meyer-Kiser Bank Building. As time went on, the Meyer-Kiser Corporation found quarters elsewhere and several other companies become prime tenants, one of which the Dade Commonwealth Title and Abstract Co. in 1936. Although the company has been long gone, the historic building still carries the Corporation’s name. The Dade Commonwealth Building was damaged during the 1926 hurricane and was reduced to 7-stories due to the damage. Approved plans call for the reconstruction of the original 17-story height, as well as restoration of the building’s storefront level front façade and original columns, pilasters, and entablature. Tax Exemptions The subject Property is located within the Downtown National Register Historic District and has been approved to benefit from the Ad Valorem Tax Exemption for Historic Properties. The Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit (“HTC”) program is intended to incentive the preservation of the nation’s historically significant buildings, structures, and landmarks. The HTC program provides a tax credit of twenty percent (20%) for qualified rehabilitation of eligible structures or buildings of historic significance of structures or buildings built prior to 1936. Qualified rehabilitation expenses include all direct and indirect costs of construction in renovation of the building and architectural, engineering, surveying, legal, insurance, development fees, and related costs may be capitalized in relation to qualified rehabilitation expenses. Many HTC projects partner with tax credit equity investors in order to monetarily realize the benefit of the HTCs without directly utilizing the tax credits against individual taxable income. Typically a HTC transaction must have a chosen twenty-four month period for measuring qualified rehabilitation expenses, with the exception for phased construction projects allowing up to a sixty month period. Additionally, HTC’s are subject to a five-year compliance period and prohibits the Property being sold or transferred during the first five years following the Property in service.
