August 31, 2017 Ms. Steve Laney SR/WA Review Appraiser City of Phoenix 251 W. Washington Street Phoenix, AZ 85003 RE: A narrative appraisal report in a summary format of a 25,981± square foot site located at
30 North 1st Street, Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona (BNAG #17-04-13B) Dear Mr. Laney: In accordance with your request, I have personally inspected the above referenced property for the purpose of estimating the “As Is” Market Value of the Fee Simple Interest in the parcel, in accordance with Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) (12 USC 3331 et seq.); the regulations adopted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency pursuant to Title XI, including, without limitation, the appendix thereto consisting of excerpts from the Uniform Standard of Professional Appraisal Practice adopted by the Appraisal Foundation (12 CFR Part 34, Subpart C); the Federal Interagency Appraisal Guidelines and City of Phoenix appraisal guidelines. Market Value is defined as:
“Market Value” means the most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in the definition is the consummation of a sale of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interest;
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. Dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.1

Your attention is directed to the accompanying report and to its Certification, Assumptions and Limiting Conditions sections. Acceptance of and/or use of this appraisal report constitutes acceptance of these conditions. This appraisal has been performed in accordance with the reporting requirements as set forth by the Appraisal Institute. The subject consists of approximately 25,981± square feet of vacant land located at 30 North 1st Street, Phoenix, Arizona. The subject is paved and utilized as a surface parking lot. All utilities and services are available to the site, and there are curbs, gutters, sidewalks along all street frontages. The subject parcel is subject to cross-easements with the remainder of the Phelps Dodge Tower re-subdivision for pedestrian use and utilities. Additionally:
Along the southern property line of the adjacent parcel, APN 112-28-130, there is an Easement Agreement that allows this adjacent parcel access for service and support of the Hanny’s Building.
In addition, the only entry and exit driveway for subject is off 1st Street and there is an easement agreement allowing the adjacent property, APN 112-28-130, occupied by the historic Hanny’s Building to utilize the drive along its southern boundary, approximating 2,402 square feet.
There are two utility easements along the southern property line of the subject that are approximately 8 feet wide extending the full length from 1st Street to Central Avenue. Nothing can be constructed at ground level within 3 feet of these two easements.
Finally, there is a 4’ x 53’ (212 SF) unrecorded right-of-way for a bus stop/shelter fronting Central Avenue. It is this unrecorded right-of-way that reduces the overall site from 26,193 square feet to 25,981 square feet since this unrecorded right-of-way does not convey with the land.
Thus, this site has significant easement issues that will be addressed in the Valuation Section of this report. Based upon all the information, data, and analyses contained in the following report, it is our opinion that the market value of the Fee Simple Interest in the subject property is as follows:
“As Is” Market Value (August 5, 2017)
TWO MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
$2,730,000
Mr. Steve Laney, SR/WA BNAG #17-04-13B August 31, 2017 Page 3
The marketing and exposure time of 12 months or less has been estimated for the subject property at the value estimated herein. Your attention is directed to the attached report which presents the analyses we have performed in deriving our value conclusions. We appreciate this opportunity to have been of service and look forward to working with you again. Sincerely, BREKAN NAVA ALLEN GROUP

records:
Lot 2; PHELPS DODGE TOWER (MCR 556-26)
VALUATION DATE
The effective valuation date for this appraisal is August 5, 2017.
DATE OF REPORT
The date of the report is August 9, 2017.
PURPOSE AND INTENDED USE OF THE APPRAISAL/CLIENT
The purpose of this appraisal is to provide an opinion of the market value opinion of the Fee
Simple Interest in the subject property. The intended use of this appraisal is as an aid in the
client’s internal decisions. The client and intended user is the City of Phoenix.
MARKET VALUE DEFINED
Market value, as used by the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States and as used
herein, is defined as follows:
“Market Value” means the most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition are the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
Introduction
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 3
1. buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests;
3. a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
4. payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
5. the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold, unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.2
OTHER PERTINENT DEFINITIONS
"As Is" value on the appraisal date means an estimate of the market value of a property in the condition observed upon inspection and as it typically and legally exists without hypothetical conditions, assumptions, or qualifications as of the date the appraisal is prepared.
PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED The property interest appraised is the fee simple estate. A fee simple estate is defined as follows:
An absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power, and escheat.”3
PROPERTY HISTORY Ownership of the subject property is currently vested in the name of the City of Phoenix. To the
best of our knowledge, there have not been any other transfers of the property in the preceding
three years.
EXPOSURE/MARKETING PERIOD
Three of the comparable sales indicated a marketing period. Conversations with several brokers
spoken to during the course of this and other recent assignments revealed that the marketing time
for downtown development is relatively short as there are multiple bidders for most potential

transactions and considering the current increasing market demand for vacant land, an exposure
period of 12 months or less has been estimated for the subject at an asking price in line with the
estimate of Market Value in this report. It should be recognized that the exposure period does
not include the due diligence and financing periods (typically from 30 to 90 days) associated
with land sales.
SCOPE OF WORK It is the intent of the appraisers to comply with the reporting requirements established under the
2016-2017 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) for a Narrative
Appraisal Report. As such, it presents information sufficient enough to enable the client and
other intended users, as identified, to understand it properly. The depth of discussion contained
within this report is specific to the needs of the client and for the intended use stated above. The
scope of this analysis included the following:
Physical inspection of the subject took place on August 5, 2017 by Rockne L. Taylor. Mr. Albert Nava, MAI, SGA inspected the subject on a subsequent date. These inspections should be taken as intended, a physical observation of the property as the appraiser is not a certified property inspector;
The State of Arizona, Arizona Department of Transportation, and Maricopa County were used as sources for background economic data and information such as demographic analyses and forecasts, current and projected employment, economic growth indicators, etc.;
Property-specific data was obtained from the offices of the Maricopa County Assessor and Treasurer and the City of Phoenix, which provided property assessment, real estate tax, and zoning information, respectively. Utility companies, or the local municipality, furnished information concerning their services;
Relied on information specific to the subject property including a Final Plat for Phelps Dodge Tower, Easement Agreements and other documentation concerning the subject property. However, neither a geotechnical nor a Phase I assessment was provided for this analysis.
Investigated and analyzed any pertinent easements or restrictions, on the fee simple
ownership of the subject property. It is the client’s responsibility to supply the appraiser with a title report. If a title report is not available, appraiser will rely on a visual inspection and identify any readily apparent easements or restrictions;
Researched public records, CoStar, LoopNet, or other sources deemed reliable, for sales
of comparable properties; and data relative to comparable rental properties;
Introduction
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 5
When possible, confirmed data with persons directly involved in the transactions including buyers, sellers, brokers and agents;
Gathered information on appropriate listings or properties found through observation during appraiser’s data collection process;
Prepared a narrative appraisal report consistent with the request of the client.
The value opinions and judgment contained herein reflect the appraiser’s opinion as a
disinterested third party. The reader is referred to the Certification section of the report wherein
the conditions are stated under which the report has been prepared. The Contingent and Limiting
Conditions section of the report presents pertinent caveats.
THE APPRAISAL PROCESS
An appraisal is not an exact science, but rather an opinion based upon research and judgment.
An estimate of the market value of a property requires an analysis of the factors which influence
it. These factors consider the four major forces at work in our economy: physical, legal-
political, social, and economic. Sections in which these factors are considered comprise the first
half of the report. They include: Metropolitan Data and Information, Neighborhood Description
and Analysis, Site Description and Analysis, Improvement Description and Analysis, and
Highest and Best Use. The highest and best use of a property is the basis upon which market
value is estimated.
The second half of the report contains the Sales Comparison Approach to Value. Since the
subject is being valued as vacant land, the traditional Income and Cost Approaches to value have
not been utilized.
The Sales Comparison Approach contemplates consideration of the actions and attitudes of
purchasers and sellers in the current market. Comparison of recent sales of similar properties,
known as "comparables," together with consideration of the degree of their similarity to the
subject allow the inference of market value through direct sales comparison. The number of
these comparable sales and the degree of their similarity to the subject property will determine
the reliability of this approach to the final value estimate.
Area Analysis
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 7
PHOENIX METROPOLITAN AREA SUMMARY
The subject property is located in downtown Phoenix, Maricopa County. The metropolitan
Phoenix area has emerged as one of the largest population and trade centers in the Southwest,
having experienced substantial growth over the past two decades. This growth has been the
result of Phoenix’s centralized location, favorable climate and advantageous business
environment. The Phoenix-Mesa-Glendale MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) includes
virtually all of central and eastern Maricopa County and a small portion of Pinal County. Pinal
County is sparsely populated except those areas adjacent to Maricopa County. The City of
Phoenix forms the nucleus of the metropolitan area, surrounded by 22 incorporated cities and
towns.
Population
According to the 2000 U.S. Census, the population estimate for Maricopa County was 3,033,798
persons, up 43 percent from the 1990 census total of 2,122,101 persons and reflecting an average
annual compound growth rate of 3.6 percent. The U.S Census estimated county population at
3,758,168 as of April 1, 2010, an increase of 24 percent over 2000. The 2010 number reflected
the drop in county population over the preceding two years due to the economic downturn of the
latter part of the decade.
According to demographic data from STDBonline, the estimated 2017 population of the
Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale MSA (includes Pinal County) is 4,732,910 persons and it is projected
to increase to 5,168,956 persons by 2022, reflecting a 9.2 percent increase over the coming five
years.
Employment Trends
The national recession of the early 2000s negatively affected the metro area as employment
growth dropped from over 67,000 jobs during 1998 and 1999 to about 38,000 to 40,000 jobs
from 2002 to 2004. However, employment increased by about 84,700 jobs in 2006, surpassing
levels of 1998 and 1999, then dropped annually and was negative in 2008. Year-end 2011
employment figures showed a positive trend for the first time in three years which continued to
improve through 2015. 2010 and 2011 figures were down in terms of total workforce and total
employed and 2009 and 2010 reflected the high unemployment rate of the recent recession.
Area Analysis
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 8
The average seasonally adjusted unemployment rate had historically been low, capping out at 5.6
percent in 2002 with the softening economy of that period. However, strong growth during the
middle of the decade helped drop unemployment below 4.0 percent through 2007. The poor
economy in the latter part of the decade hit the MSA hard as unemployment more than doubled
from 2007 to 2009, remaining high at 9.2 percent in 2010. Unemployment has trended steadily
downward since 2010 and was at its lowest level in many years in 2016 and second quarter 2017.
As outlined in the following table, the Phoenix area economy is currently led by the Wholesale
& Retail Trade and Professional & Business Services employment sectors.
The metro area’s population growth has historically been spurred by the employment
opportunities available to its residents. Most employment sectors took a hit from 2006 to 2010
with the most significant drop in the Construction sector. In 2015, Wholesale & Retail Trade,
along with Professional & Business Services, accounted for the largest employment sectors with
over 16 and 17 percent of total jobs, respectively. This continued into 2016 as these sectors
dominated employment at 16.3 and 17.0 percent of total jobs. Educational & Health Services
and Leisure & Hospitality showed the largest percentage increase from year to year of 5 percent.

economy slowed during the summer, with job growth falling back to the national rate. Further,
new personal income estimates suggest slower growth early in the year. While Arizona
continues to expand at a solid pace, 2016 no longer appears to be the breakout year.
Nonetheless, the odds still favor continued growth in the U.S. and Arizona economies this year
and next.
The outlook for Arizona calls for solid gains in jobs, income, and population. While growth
rates are expected to far exceed the nation, they are not headed back to historical averages. Job
gains will likely be concentrated in service-providing industries, like professional and business
services; education and health services; trade, transportation, and utilities; and leisure and
hospitality.
Arizona’s two largest metropolitan areas have also experienced a summer lull, but are expected
to rebound in 2017. As usual, the Phoenix MSA is forecast to expand at a rapid pace. The
Tucson MSA is expected to capitalize on recent announcements of new jobs in the aerospace
sector to generate improved gains during the forecast.
“The Arizona economy continued to add jobs during the summer, although the pace slowed.
Over the year, Arizona added 44,400 jobs for a 1.7% growth rate. That matched the national
rate, but fell short of the pace set in the second quarter of 2.1%.
“The Arizona outlook depends in part on the national economy. IHS Economics projects that
U.S. real GDP growth will hit just 1.4% in 2016, down from 2.6% last year. Gains accelerate
next year to 2.2% and hold steady at that rate through 2019. Sluggish growth in 2016 reflects an
inventory draw down, slower consumption spending, weak nonresidential fixed investment
(especially in the energy sector), slower gains in residential investment (housing), and weak
export performance. Slightly stronger gains are expected in 2017, as rising oil prices spur
renewed investment in the energy sector and a gradually falling dollar spurs stronger export
gains.”
Income Trends
According to STDBonline, the 2017 estimated average household income is $77,596 for the
MSA, up about 28 percent from $58,886 in 2000, while the per capita income was estimated to
be $28,544.

REAL ESTATE INVENTORIES
Residential/Commercial Land
The real estate market is currently in transition as land sales had slowed down and prices for land
had been declining. The credit crunch and meltdown of the financial markets in late 2008 further
exacerbated the problem. Demand for vacant land became almost non-existent except for
investors looking for long-term hold situations as all segments of the real estate market have felt
the economic decline. However, as the local economy continues its recovery, land sales are once
again occurring. After a number of years of record low prices with most land speculators
expecting long-term holds, the land market appears to be rebounding as user sales are occurring
metro wide.
Single and Multifamily Residential
According to the Phoenix Metro Housing Study (PMHS), new residential building permits
increased steadily from 2000 to 2004 as the market responded to the area’s growing population.
Additionally, out-of-state investors purchased heavily in this market in 2004 and early 2005,
driving up demand and the median price of housing at an almost exponential rate. With the crash
in the residential market in 2006, the number of permits issued annually dropped significantly in
subsequent years as did single-family home sales and values. The PMHS is no longer published;
thus, new statistics are taken from an ASU Department of Real Estate study of the residential
market and The Phoenix Housing Market Letter published by R.L. Brown.

According to an analysis by Ryan Konig published in the Arizona Republic in May 2016, most
valley zip codes showed an increase in the median sales price of single-family houses from 2014
to 2015, many substantially. The following chart shows median overall new and existing homes

sales data for 2015 compared to the same time period in 2014 for selected zip codes around the
metro area. More current data is not yet available from this source.
As the flood of investors opted for other markets in the latter half of 2005 placing substantial
inventory on the market, a substantial reduction in new building permits resulted with the drop in
demand. This drop in demand continued into 2007, 2008 and 2009 as year-end 2009 figures
showed only 6,355 building permits and 8,314 new sales for the year. Based on current figures,
this trend is reversing and new home building and sales are up from the previous few years. The
Arizona Republic article reports that a large percentage of the region’s zip codes saw home
values climb from 2014 to 2015 and many zip codes metro wide have posted jumps in median
price of more than 10 percent over the past year. Housing prices have not yet returned to the
boom-period highs, but it is reported than in some areas, prices have recovered to levels not seen
since 2003.
Real Data, Inc.’s Apartment Insights reports that after several years of moderate increases, rental
rates declined from 2007 to 2009. However, more recently trends have been positive as vacancy
continues to drop overall and rental rates are steadily increasing. In response to positive trends

and 2016. The following chart summarizes office market statistics provided by CoStar.
As of second quarter 2017, some 1,013,705 square feet of office space was under construction
throughout the valley. Most of this was in owner-occupied or pre-leased product as the new
speculative construction market is still weak. CoStar reports that the overall average rental rate
dropped over 23 percent from 2007 to 2012. The average rental rate has actually improved
annually since 2012 to its second quarter 2017 high.
Industrial
CoStar reported that as of second quarter 2017, the metro Phoenix industrial market had roughly
319.7 million square feet of industrial space. Of that total, about 29.3 million square feet was
available, indicating an overall vacancy rate of 9.2 percent, down from first quarter 2017. As
with other segments of the real estate market, rental rates declined in response to high vacancy
from 2009 to 2010, but have trended upward annually since 2011 as vacancy has steadily
dropped over the past few years. The following table summarizes industrial market statistics.

Area Analysis
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 14
Positive absorption over the past seven years has resulted in a drop in vacancy of 6.7 percent
since 2009 when vacancy was reported at 16.3 percent. Absorption almost doubled from 2013 to
2014 as more than 4.3 million square feet was absorbed in the second quarter alone. Flex
projects reported a vacancy rate of 13.2 percent as of second quarter 2017 while warehouse
projects reported a vacancy rate of 8.7 percent. Net absorption, paced by the Southwest
submarket, continued to do well.
Conclusions
The Phoenix metropolitan area has historically possessed a favorable climate and pro-business
environment, in response to which the area has experienced explosive growth since the mid-
1980s, with annual population gains of 4 to 5 percent and employment gains of 2 to 5 percent.
Employment and population growth slowed during the early part of the decade, as the national
recession of 2001 and 2002 was felt in Phoenix as well. A recovery that started in March 2003
continued through roughly mid-2006 as population growth remained strong and employment
continued to grow. However, consistent with the national economy, the local economy turned in
the latter half of 2006 as the residential market crashed.
After several years of phenomenal growth, the residential market began its decline in the latter
months of 2006 as out-of-state investors, which drove the exponential growth of the market in
2004 and much of 2005, opted for other markets. This resulted in an extraordinary number of
existing homes being put on the market for sale. Permitting consistently declined from 2006
through 2010, which led to a precipitous decline in the average price of housing as builders now
work to sell unsold inventory. After experiencing years of strong growth from 2003 to 2006, the
multifamily, office, retail and industrial markets also experienced increasing vacancy rates and
dropping rental rates in response to the economic downturn. However, more recent statistics
show the local economy in recovery since 2011 which continues into 2017.

NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION A neighborhood is defined as:
A group of complementary land uses; a congruous grouping of inhabitants, buildings, or business enterprises 4
A property is an integral part of its neighborhood and normally cannot be treated as an entity
separate and apart from its environment. The subject property is located within the central core
more commonly known as the Downtown Phoenix Business Improvement District (formerly
Copper Square). The Downtown Phoenix Business Improvement District is the metropolitan
area's business address, government center, cultural center, and sports destination. It is the
center of economic activity with 26,000 employees in government, banking, and finance, legal,
service and non-profit organizations. Served by every major freeway and only five minutes from
Sky Harbor International Airport, this area is easily accessible from all parts of the Valley. It is
also serviced regularly by the local mass transit system and will serve as the hub of the future
light rail transit office.
The Central Phoenix Committee agency and the Planning Department of the City of Phoenix
refer to this area as Downtown Phoenix, as distinguished from Midtown Phoenix that generally
extends along the Central Avenue corridor north of McDowell Road and Uptown Phoenix north
of Campbell Avenue.
Neighborhood Boundaries
The subject neighborhood encompasses approximately 1.5 square miles and contains the original
town site of Phoenix that has remained as the downtown core of the city. Neighborhood
boundaries are identified as:
Interstate 10 to the north
7th Avenue to the west
Lincoln Street to the south
7th Street to the east
Central Avenue bisects this core, extending north/south into the bordering mountains, as a
significant corridor for development. This corridor consists of three distinct neighborhoods. 4 Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Appraisal Institute, 5th ed., 2010, p. 133.

Valley Center, or downtown, forms the lower or southern extreme for high-rise development.
The Midtown neighborhood extends from McDowell Road north to Campbell Avenue. The
Uptown neighborhood begins at Campbell Avenue and extends north to Glendale Avenue.
Downtown is distinctly defined by the zoning ordinance that designates this General Plan area as
the Downtown Code (DTC)
district. In 2006, the Downtown
Urban Form was initiated as an
implementation step for Downtown
Phoenix: A Strategic Vision and
Blueprint for the Future, adopted
by the City Council in December
2004. The Urban Form Project
includes an area of 1,500 acres
which is approximately one mile
wide and two miles long. As part
of this Urban Form, new character
areas were identified which are
reflections of existing downtown
neighborhoods. In some cases, due
to distinctive features, such as the
ASU Campus, sub-areas have been
identified, but remain a part of the
larger character areas. Character
areas are further based on existing
land use, zoning, circulation, parcel
configuration, building footprints, landscaping, site dimensions, and opportunity sites. As shown
on the above map, the subject lots are within the Business Core character area, bordering the
developing Phoenix Biomedical Character Area. This project has a14-year history and has
shown strong growth during this period, affecting surrounding Character Areas.
In May 2002, the International Genomics Consortium announced that Phoenix is the “first and
preferred choice” for its headquarters. Genomics is the study of how genes affect disease. A

groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the first building in the new Phoenix
Bioscience Center at Copper Square was held on June 13, 2003 and the complex has since been
completed and is the home of the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), the
International Genomics Consortium and other cutting edge projects. The City of Phoenix
donated land at 7th Street and Van Buren for the TGen/IGC facility, which is now a 6-story,
173,000-square foot building. The building reportedly cost $46 million and employs
approximately 250 people.
Another public project related to this area is the recently built, 2-story, 52,000 square foot
building for the Phoenix Union Bioscience High School, and remodeling of the Historic
McKinley School building. This project referred to as the “Phoenix Bioscience High School
Campus” consists of a total of 2+- acres at the southwest corner of Garfield and 6th Streets. It
currently has an enrollment of 289 students in grades 9-12, after opening for the 2006 school
year.
Building upon this foundation, the Phoenix downtown is also the site of several collaborations
among Arizona’s three universities. The Arizona Biomedical Collaborative (ABC) between the
University of Arizona and Arizona State University will include three new bioscience and
clinical research buildings on city-owned property and the renovation of three historic Phoenix
Union High School buildings. The first building, with 4 stories and 85,000 square feet of gross
building area has been completed and provides world-class biomedical research facilities shared
by both UA and ASU.
The metro area’s first full-fledged medical school, University of Arizona College of Public
Health, opened in 2012 in the Health Science Education Building within the PBC. It also houses
Northern Arizona University’s physician assistant, physical therapy and occupational therapy
programs. It has been estimated that in 2013, 9,355 jobs were created by the academic center,
directly and indirectly, with a $961 million impact on the economy. The impact is expected to
reach $3.1 billion by 2025. The overall impact of the PBC in 2013 was estimated at $1.3
billion.
Currently, the new Arizona Cancer Center, a 220,000 square foot facility opened at the northeast
corner of 7th and Fillmore Streets in the PBC. It is both an outpatient and research facility
affiliated with the UA College of Public Health and will support approximately 1,500 jobs at full
operation.

In addition, the 8-story, 1,200-space PBC Garage parking structure was recently completed at the
southwest corner of 5th and Fillmore Streets. It is on a leased land parcel, and it provides
dedicated spaces to all of the existing and planned buildings in the main section of the PBC, as
well as the Arizona Cancer Center.
Finally, the 10-story, 245,000 square foot Biosciences Partnership Building is under construction
on a ground-leased parcel of land just north of the Health Sciences Education Building in the
PBC. This research building is expected to create 500 construction jobs initially and another 360
permanent positions at full build-out. It is being funded by and will be owned by the University
of Arizona.
Arizona State University Campus
The downtown campus of ASU is located on the south side of Van Buren Street, across from the
PBC. It will be potentially larger in student population than Boston College, Notre Dame, or
Syracuse Universities, with an expected 15,000 student campus. The Walter Cronkite School of
Journalism facility opened in August 2008, and the College of Nursing moved there in 2006.
Fall 2014 enrollment at the Downtown ASU campus was reported to be 11,277 students. When
fully developed, 15,000 students, 1,800 faculty and staff, and 4,000 student housing beds are
projected. The academics will include the College of Public Programs, Cronkite School of
Journalism and Mass Communications, KAET, College of Nursing, and School Health
Management and Policy. The undergraduate experience will be at University College. ASU
Phoenix is expected to create 7,700 jobs and generate more than $500 million a year is spending
and $7 million a year in revenues to the city.
Other Development
In the past 15 years, great strides have been made to revitalize the downtown core area with an
estimated $3 billion in private and public capital spent. It was once an area that was all but
deserted after the 9am-5pm traditional work hours. Recent redevelopment efforts have
transcended this region, adding diverse land uses to create a balance between commerce,
cultural, governmental, recreational, and even to a small extent residential land uses.

The $600 million expansion of the Phoenix Civic Plaza and Convention Center tripled the
amount of rentable space, positioning Phoenix as a top destination for 80 percent of all
conventions and elevating if from the 67th largest convention center in the United States into the
top 20. Fairly recently completed (December 2008), the Phoenix Convention Center provides a
spacious, high-tech and client-friendly facility with approximately 900,000 square feet of
rentable space and more than 2 million square feet total.
The Arizona Center is a 1,070,000 square foot, retail/office project at the northeast corner of 3rd
and Van Buren Streets. There are two, 3-story retail buildings with approximately 76,939 square
feet of retail and restaurant space, a 24-screen AMC movie theater, 118,985 square feet of office
space in a 3-story garden building, 782,315 square feet of high rise office in two towers (19 and
20 stories) and a 7-story parking garage.
Joining the redeveloped sites of the Phoenix Civic Plaza and the Hyatt Regency are numerous
premiere signature projects. Some of the more prominent facilities completed in the past eight to
ten years include the Arizona Museum of Science and Technology, and the Arizona Museum,
included near the existing Heritage Square. Other major additions to cultural activities in the
downtown Phoenix area include the Herberger Theater Center located south of Van Buren
between 2nd and 3rd Streets; a two-theater complex including 827-seat and 379-seat facilities; the
45,000-seat retractable domed Chase Field (formerly Bank One Ballpark), the home of the
Arizona Diamondbacks; the Talking Stick Resort Arena (formerly US Airways Center), a
22,500-seat multipurpose facility and home of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns and the WNBA’s
Phoenix Mercury.
Adjacent to the subject is the Phelps Dodge Center with the address of One North Central
Avenue. Construction of this Class A 440,000 square foot high-rise building began in 2000 and
was completed one year later. It has 20 floors above ground, is 289 feet tall and has an
underground parking garage with 1,000 parking spaces. Its architectural style is considered
postmodernism and reportedly cost $78 million dollars to build.
Another large project completed in the last 10 years is the 1,000-room Sheraton Hotel located
west and across 3rd Street from the Arizona Center. This 31-story facility was completed in
2008, and is the largest hotel in the state.

In October 2008, construction began on Cityscape, a multi-use development in the center of
downtown Phoenix just south of the subject. Bounded by 1st Avenue on the west, 1st Street on
the east, Washington Street on the north, and Jefferson Street on the south, this $500 million
development contains approximately 1.2 million square feet of space in two towers, including
224 residential apartments, office space, retail and hotel uses (250-room Kimpton Hotel
Palomar).
Finally, construction for the new Arizona State University Center for Law and Society, a $129
million law school building for the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, was begun in
November 2014 and opened its doors in August 2016. The six-story, 280,000 square foot
building will also include 2 levels of underground parking. The City of Phoenix donated the
land and provided $12,000,000 in construction bonds. This project was named by the Phoenix
Business Journal as the top construction project begun in 2014 in the Phoenix metro area in
terms of total budget.
Housing Projects
A number of multifamily housing projects have been completed within the downtown area
within the past several years. Alta Phoenix Lofts, Park at Arizona Center and Roosevelt Square
are three Class A apartment projects. Both the Alta Phoenix Lofts and Roosevelt Square projects
offer unique loft-style units in an urban living setting with rental rents at the top of the market. In
addition, comparatively older multi-story office buildings (Class B) are converting to residential
loft developments.
In the area of the Arizona Center, there are two newer projects. Roosevelt Point, a 326-unit, 7
story student housing project located at 888 N. 4th Street was built in 2013. Skyline Lofts, a 332-
unit, 8-story luxury apartment project at 600 N. 4th Street, was built in 2009.
Two major high-rise developments have also been completed in Downtown Phoenix within
recent years. The first, located at the corner of Monroe and 1st Avenue is 44 Monroe which is 34
stories (8 stories of parking) and contains 202 residences and the second, located at 4th Street and
Jackson Street is The Summit at Copper Square which is 23 stories and contains 167 units. 44
Monroe was completed in the fall of 2008 while The Summit at Copper Square was completed in
late 2007.

The population within the subject neighborhood showed noticeable growth between 2010 and
2017 of 23.22%, or a total of 1,534 people. This was almost twice the metro growth rate of
12.87% for the same time frame and is a result of significant in-fill development and
redevelopment of existing properties for high density residential property uses. Looking ahead,
over the next five years, the subject neighborhood is expected to realize a growth of 8.97% as
compared to 9.21% metro wide.
The subject neighborhood population has a much lower count of persons per household and a
lower median age to the metro area as a whole. This indicates a young, single demographic for
the area as a result of the high-amenity and high density residential character.
In terms of the household income, the subject neighborhood currently has an median income that
is less than half of the metro area, coupled with a much lower household count, the average
household income is 56% below the metro area. These comparisons are expected to continue
for the next five years.
Employment
According to the Site-To-Do-Business, employment within the defined neighborhood totals
56,222 persons, well above the 7,236 persons who live in the area. This is a result of the dense
employment found in the mid to high-rise buildings typical of the downtown area. The largest
employment group is Government, with 20,161 employees, 14% above the next highest group,
Neighborhood Description
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 24
Services, which includes Legal, Health and Education services, 17,642 employees. The next
highest group is Retail/Trade, which includes restaurants and food and apparel stores. The
indication is that this defined area, with 1.35 square miles approximately, has one of the highest
employment densities in the metro area, at 41,646 persons per square mile.
Transportation
Access to and through the defined neighborhood is good. Major east/west arterial streets include
Roosevelt, Van Buren, Washington and Jefferson Streets. Major north/south arterial streets
include 7th and 3rd Streets and Central, 3rd and 7th Avenues. Arterial streets are asphalt paved,
and most are at least four lanes wide with adequate sidewalks for pedestrian traffic and storm
drains for surface water disposal.
Completed in December 2008, the Valley Metro Rail system runs down Central Avenue in the
neighborhood, between Camelback Road and Washington Street. From Camelback Road on the
north, the line extends west to 19th Avenue where it turns north again to Bethany Home Road. It
is currently under construction further north to Dunlap Avenue. From Washington Street, it
extends east through Tempe and into Mesa. The 57-mile Valley Metro Rail system has enabled
much better access to Downtown Phoenix, with linkage between ASU-Tempe, Sky Harbor
International Airport and the North Central Avenue Corridor.
Valley Metro also provides bus transportation into and out of the area with numerous routes and
regular time intervals. The neighborhood is also only two miles west of Sky Harbor
International Airport and lies between Interstates 10 and 17.
Neighborhood Services
The neighborhood is served with electricity from Arizona Public Service Company, gas from
Southwest Gas Company, and water/sewer and police/fire from the City of Phoenix.
Neighborhood Summary
The neighborhood includes the downtown central core of the City of Phoenix. Redevelopment
efforts of the downtown core district are successfully revitalizing the neighborhood. There are
on-going ventures and future plans to diversify the land uses in this area to provide an assortment
of choices to attract employers, residents, and visitors to congregate in this neighborhood. As a
result, the trend for the area is positive in terms of activity and land values. The aerial on a

Topography/ Drainage: The site is essentially level and at street grade. Drainage appears to be
adequate. Soil Conditions: No soils report was available for review by the appraisers. We assume that
the soil and sub-soil conditions support the proposed improvements. If at a later date it is determined that adverse soil and subsoil conditions exist, the value conclusions reported herein will be rendered invalid.
Easements/ Restrictions: A current ALTA and title report were not provided for the subject property.
However, the appraisers had access to the recorded Final Plat of the parcel

in public records. The subject parcel is subject to cross-easements with the remainder of the Phelps Dodge Tower re-subdivision for pedestrian use and utilities.
Additionally:
Along the southern property line of the adjacent parcel, APN 112-28-130, there is an Easement Agreement that allows this adjacent parcel access for service and support of the Hanny’s Building.
In addition, the only entry and exit driveway for subject is off 1st Street and there is an easement agreement allowing the adjacent property, APN 112-28-130, occupied by the historic Hanny’s Building to utilize the drive along its southern boundary, approximating 2,402 square feet.
There are two utility easements along the southern property line of the subject that are approximately 8 feet wide extending the full length from 1st Street to Central Avenue. Nothing can be constructed at ground level within 3 feet of these two easements.
Finally, there is a 4’ x 53’ (212 SF) unrecorded right-of-way for a bus stop/shelter fronting Central Avenue. It is this unrecorded right-of-way that reduces the overall site from 26,193 square feet to 25,981 square feet since this unrecorded right-of-way does not convey with the land.
Thus, this site has significant easement issues that will be addressed in the Valuation Section of this report.
Environmental Observations: We were not provided a Phase I environmental site assessment. Our
observation did not reveal any obvious environmental hazards, however, it should be noted that the appraisers are not qualified to assess environmental issues; therefore, we reserve the right to alter this valuation estimate if any evidence indicates environmental issues relative to the site. We have assumed for purposes of this analysis that the property is free of any environmental contamination that could have an impact of value.

physical environment necessary to create a pedestrian-oriented, dynamic urban center with an authentic sense of place.” The DTC applies to all land uses, subdivisions and development within the boundary generally between McDowell Road on the north, 7th Street on the east, Buckeye Road on the south and 7th Avenue on the west. Each structure and land use shall be established, constructed, reconstructed, enlarged, altered, moved or replaced in compliance with the requirements of the Use Matrix for the Character Area in which the property is located.
The subject property is in the Business Core area. According to the city of
Phoenix Zoning Ordinance, “…the Business Core should function as a strong regional center for employment, entertainment, conventions, tourism and cultural institutions, drawing visitors from around the country and attracting residents from throughout the region. … The greatest development intensity within the region should be located within this Character Area.”
According to the City maps regarding height limitations, the subject parcel
is in a zone allowing a 425-foot maximum height. In addition, the subject is in a development density zone with no maximum density of dwelling units per acre. (See Height and Density maps following this section).
Restrictions: Each parcel will be required to meet zoning guidelines for required set-
backs, on-site parking, ingress/egress and drainage in the Business Core. According to the City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance, the following
development standards apply: 1) Maximum height: unlimited height up to the airport height
zoning limits). 2) Maximum density: unlimited density 3) Maximum lot coverage: 100%. 4) Minimum side and rear setbacks. a) Primary building. i) Side: Zero feet. ii) Rear: Zero feet.
Parking requirements are lenient in the BC character area, with no requirement for non-residential uses and a minimum of one space per unit on-site for residential uses. It should be noted however, that for ground level parking garages, there is a requirement that 50% of the non-driveway frontage in a parking garage be in active uses, such as retail and day-care. Further, Central Avenue and Adams Street are designated Pedestrian Streets by the City of Phoenix, adding additional building front requirements, mostly pertaining to an enhanced level of pedestrian amenities such as benches, lighting, trees and shade structures. In addition, blank walls should not occupy more than 70% of the ground floor frontage of a

building. These restrictions will add to the cost of any structure built on the site. Additionally, the city does not allow ingress/egress onto a pedestrian street if there is access via a side street. Finally, the subject has several additional restrictions to development that have already been discussed. These are significant and unusual and will have an adverse impact on the utility of the parcel, and it’s Market Value.
Utilities: All utilities and services necessary to facilitate development of the parcels for a variety of uses are available as summarized below.

PROPERTY ASSESSMENT AND TAXES
Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN)
According to the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office, the subject property is identified as APN
112-28-131.
Assessed Value and Real Estate Taxes
In 2012, Arizona voters approved Proposition 117, an amendment to the state constitution that
went into effect this year and provides the most significant change to Arizona’s property tax
system in decades.
First, prior January 1, 2015, Arizona had two values (“full cash” and “limited”) and two tax rates
(“primary” and “secondary”) for determining a property’s tax liability. Now, property taxes are
calculated only on the limited property value. The full cash value (i.e., market value) will
continue to appear on the notice of value cards mailed to taxpayers, but it is no longer used to
calculate the amount of property tax owed.
Second, Proposition 117 capped the growth of a property’s limited property value at no more
than 5% per year.
With Proposition 117 going into effect January 1, 2015 and the commercial real estate market in
Arizona still slowly recovering from its height in 2007, tax year 2015 presents a unique
opportunity for taxpayers. A reduction in the 2015 tax year value will limit increases in value for
tax years 2016 and beyond as commercial property values begin to appreciate.
It is important to note that, while Proposition 117 imposes a 5 percent cap on the limited property
value, there are exceptions. For example, Proposition 117 does not apply to properties that have
new construction, changes in use, significant tenant improvements, demolition, parcel splits or
combinations.
Thus, in summary:
Beginning in 2015 tax year: A. The LPV of property for property taxation purposes is the LPV of the property
in the preceding valuation year plus five percent of that value. B. The current LPV of a parcel of property shall not exceed its current FCV.

APARTMENT AND OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEWS
For the analysis, the most likely uses of the subject site, based upon current DTC development
trends, would be multi-family and commercial uses. The following analysis considers the metro
area market for multi-family and office uses in order to estimate the potential for each type of
use.
APARTMENT MARKET OVERVIEW
Metro Area Multi-Family Residential Market Analysis
Our analysis of the multifamily market is presented in this section. The appraisers have relied on
market information for both the metro-wide and subject submarkets, utilizing RealData’s
Apartment Insights, 2nd Quarter 2017 for projects having 50+ units to provide a general
overview of the apartment market.
Supply and Demand Conditions

With exception of three quarters, vacancy rates continued a steady decline from a high of
12.12% in the 1st quarter of 2011 to the current 5.84% in the 2nd Quarter of 2017. The current
rate is one of the lowest rate in the past 5 years, and less than half of the rate in the 1st Quarter of
2011. The continued decline in vacancy rates is attributed to strong demand for rental housing
for millennials and retirees, as well as the past poor economic conditions which displaced many
home owners into the rental market.
As of the 2nd Quarter 2017, the highest submarket vacancy rate of 8.62% was posted in
submarket 11, Central Phoenix/Encanto. This is above the last 4 quarter average of 7.19% for
this submarket. Overall this submarket has remained above the metro area average for the past
several quarters. Submarket 22W, West Maricopa County, had the lowest vacancy rate at
2.04%, followed by submarket 18N, E Mesa/Apache Jct, at 4.66%.

Absorption
Overall occupancy in Metropolitan Phoenix apartment market is a positive 538 during the second
quarter. The largest quarterly decline in occupancy of 539 units occurred in N Tempe, with the
largest increase of 307 units realized in S Gilbert/Queen Creek. This makes the last four quarter
total a positive 6,753 units, with S Gilbert/Queen Creek experiencing the largest increase of 864
units. The highest decrease of 91 units occurred in S Paradise Valley.
Rental Rates
The following table illustrates the average rental rates and percentage changes from year-end
2010 through 2nd Qtr 2017 for stabilized projects that are unfurnished with no utilities provided.

With the exception of 2011, average monthly rental rates have increased annually since 2010
with the largest gains coming in the most recent 24 months as rents have increased a total of 17.6
percent since Q4 2014 to the present. After having dissipated in most submarkets, concessions
are now finding their way back into the market. This is especially true among new construction
as developers work to increase absorption. Concessions can still be found in certain projects
among certain unit types which are hard to lease or in areas with substantial new construction.
For instance, concessions can range from free rent to low move-in costs to discounted rents.
These factors suggest that effective rental rates may actually be lower in some submarkets and
lower than what is indicated by the preceding chart.
Apartment Sales
Apartment Insights reports that 47 arms-length sales of properties with 50 or more units occurred
in the 2nd quarter 2017 (10,187 collective units). The average price of $125,694 per unit
represents an increase of $16,821 per unit (15%) from one year prior (Q2 2016) when the
average selling price was $108,873 per unit. This reflects an increase from Q2 2014 of 36.9
Apartment and Office Market Overviews
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 45
percent or $87,481 per unit. One must be cautious when interpreting this data as averages are
highly susceptible to fluctuations due to the type of projects, the number of projects and the
physical characteristics of projects sold in a given period, but the trend is generally quite
positive.
Under Construction
RealData reports that there were 12,290 units under construction in the 2nd Quarter of 2017, with
2,317 units added in this quarter. There were 8,535 units added for all of 2016 and 7,232 units
added for all of 2015. There are also 17,275 units planned (entered or satisfactorily completed
the design/development review process).
Colliers International Multi-Family Q2 2017 report states:
Rents Spike, Brightening the Second-Half Outlook:
The Greater Phoenix multifamily market has posted strong results in the first half of 2017, and the outlook for the remainder of the year is bright. Vacancy is forecast to remain near current ranges even in an active development climate, and rents are forecast to top $1,000 per month by the end of the year.
Vacancy rose 30 basis points, ending the second quarter at 5.9 percent. The vacancy rate often inches higher in the second quarter, as part-year residents leave the market for the summer months. Vacancy has increased during the second quarter in each of the past seven years.
Asking rents spiked by 3 percent in the second quarter, and are up 5 percent year to date. Current asking rents are $977 per month, up 6.3 percent from one year ago.
Sales velocity rose in the second quarter, and the sale of newer properties drove the median price higher. The median price in the second quarter reached $116,000 per unit, and year-to-date the median price is over $102,000 per unit. Cap rates are averaging in the mid-5 percent range.
Metro-wide Apartment Market Conclusions
The metro-wide apartment market (50+ units) has experienced declining vacancy rates and
increasing rental rates since the beginning of 2011. While there is a large supply of new units
under construction, these will typically have higher rents than older projects and a different
tenant profile. Thus, the upward rental rate trends are expected to continue for the foreseeable
future, although vacancy rates will likely not decline much further due to the large number of
planned and under/construction units.
Submarket Analysis (District 14–Central City/Sky Harbor)
RealData’s Apartment Insights divides the metropolitan Phoenix apartment market into 32
submarkets, as highlighted in the map on the second following page. The subject lies in the
Central City/Sky Harbor District, 14, which includes the downtown central business district.
Apartment and Office Market Overviews
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 46
Apartment Insights reports that as of the 2nd Quarter of 2017, District 14 totaled 6,064 units in 39
complexes of 50+ units. This is an average of 155 units per project, well below the metro area
average of 208 units per project. This total is approximately 2.08% of the metro area total units.
Of the total inventory in this submarket, 1,834 units have been constructed since 2010, and
2,838, or 47% of the total, have been built since the beginning of 2006. This represents one of
the strongest growth trends in the metro area over this period.
Vacancy
Apartment Insights reported that as of the 2nd Quarter of 2017, the District 14 submarket had a
vacancy rate of 7.28% for projects of 50+ units, compared to the metro average of 5.84%. In the
case of the subject submarket, this is a slight increase of 27 basis points from the previous
quarter, and 9 basis points from the 4 quarter average. For the last 5 quarters the vacancy rate
has averaged between 4.99% and 5.84%, with a 4 quarter average of 5.88%. Thus, the strong
construction in this submarket has kept vacancy rates from declining, but overall, it is still
consistent with the metro area.
Rental Rates
Overall, rental rates for the submarket for stabilized projects, unfurnished units with no utilities
provided averaged $1,275 per unit per month as of the 2nd Quarter 2017, compared to the metro
average of $968 per unit per month, or roughly 32% higher. The higher rents are a result of the
district’s large inventory of newer apartment units, most of which are luxury, Class A units. The
2nd Quarter average rate was a slight increase of $27 from the 1st Quarter of 2017, and $15, or
2%, above one year prior. This slight increase in rental rates in the submarket appears to signal
the submarket is holding steady despite strong new construction.
It should be noted that the average rent for Lease-Up projects, recently completed submarket
projects, was $1,477 per month in the 2nd Quarter of 2017, above the overall average. It is
slightly above the metro area average for Lease-Up projects of $1,399, reflecting the strong
demand for new apartment units in this market area.

Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 47
The following table presents the average overall rental rate and unit size for stabilized projects,
unfurnished units with no utilities within the subject’s submarket in the 2nd Quarter of 2017:
Type Unit Size (SF) Avg. Rent Avg. Rent/SF Studio 689 $921 $1.34 1 bed/1 bath 770 $1,076 $1.40 2 bed/1 bath 906 $1,232 $1.36 3 bed/1 bath 1,591 $2,366 $1.49
The 3 bedroom units have an average rent above the 2-bedroom units, but typically these units
are in newer projects with more modern amenities than many of the older projects that lack 3-
bedroom units.
Future Competitive Supply
Apartment Insights reports 623 apartment units were under construction in three projects as of
the 2nd Quarter of 2017 in the District 14 sub-market. This is an average of 248 units per project.
There were another 1,160 in the planning stages with construction planned in six projects that
will likely be available for rent in the foreseeable future. This is a large number of units for a
submarket with a current base supply of 5,984 units. The following charts summarize known

Broker Comments
A number of brokers were interviewed during the course of our due diligence. Concerning is
that so many new units are under construction in this immediate area with those projects
currently under construction expected to come on line in the near term. The question was posed
to brokers interviewed if the market can sustain the momentum. We received mixed comments.
Apartment and Office Market Overviews
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 48
Mr. Steve Gebing with Marcus & Millichap (broker for Improved Sale No. 3) indicated that the market has entered a correction stage. Adjustments in the capital markets (increased interest rates) within the past 45 days have resulted in a slowing effect in today’s market. He further stated that many deals of which he is aware have fallen out of escrow. Many of those deals that are going forward have been renegotiated to lower prices as sellers will have to be more realistic this year. His complex sold at cap rate in the high 4 percent range, but he stated that this was an anomaly as it would not in today’s market. He opined a cap rate in the low to mid-5 percent range if sold today.
Mr. Sean Cunningham with CBRE was a part of the selling team for Improved Sale
Nos. 1, 2, 4 and 5. His was an opposite take as he felt that the market momentum was still sustainable. Although he agreed that cap rates in today’s market are realistically in the low to mid-5 percent range.
Another source of market information is gleaned from a January 2, 2017 Wall Street Journal
article entitled “Luxury Apartment Boom Looks Set to Fizzle in 2017” concerning trends in the
high-end, luxury apartment market. Excerpts from this article appear below.
“Landlords of upscale properties across the U.S. are bracing for rough conditions in 2017 that will likely force them to slash rents and offer deep concessions as a glut of supply brings a seven-year luxury-apartment boom to an end. The turnaround follows a more-than-26% jump in U.S. apartment rents since early 2010, far outstripping inflation and income growth. But in 2016, rents rose a modest 3.8%, a significant drop from the recent high of 5.6% year-to-year growth in the third quarter of 2015, according to a report to be released Tuesday by MPF Research, a division of RealPage Inc. that tracks the U.S. apartment market.
MPF Vice President Jay Parsons said he expects little or no rent growth in urban rental markets this year. ‘This will be a very challenged leasing environment almost everywhere,” Mr. Parsons said. The slowdown is being driven not by a pullback in demand but rather a flood of new apartments. Demand for urban properties jumped after the housing bust as young, high-earning professional’s eschewed homeownership and flocked to big cities. Developers responded by focusing most of their efforts on high-end properties.
Now, though, the number of upscale apartments coming onto the market appears to be outpacing the number of renters able to move into them: More than 50,000 new units were rented by tenants in the fourth quarter in the U.S., six times the number in the year-earlier period. But that demand was overwhelmed by the 88,000 new units that were completed in the quarter, the most since the mid-1980s, according to MPF.
That gap looks set to widen in 2017. More than 378,000 new apartments are expected to be completed across the country this year, almost 35% more than the 20-year average, according to real estate tracker Axiometrics Inc.
Most of the new construction in recent years has been on the high end. Of 189,100 multifamily rental units completed between the fourth quarter of 2015 and third quarter of 2016 in 54 U.S. metropolitan areas, 84% were in the luxury category, according to
Apartment and Office Market Overviews
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 49
CoStar Group Inc., a real-estate research firm. The firm defines luxury buildings as those that command rents in the top 20% of the market.
For apartment units currently under construction, renters would need to make at least $75,000 a year to afford 88% of those units, compared with 37% of apartment units overall, according to Axiometrics. Roughly 85% are luxury units.
Rising rents in the past few years have helped buoy the housing market by making home purchases more attractive. Home-price appreciation is outpacing rent growth in all 23 of the metropolitan areas tracked by a national index produced by Florida Atlantic University and Florida International University.
But the flattening of rents in 2017 could shift the financial equation back toward renting, posing potential challenges to the housing market, which saw record prices in October.
Rents in San Francisco, New York, Houston and San Jose California, all declined about 1% year-to-year in 2016, according to MPF. Monthly rents now average $1,248 nationally. The sluggishness is expected to spread across the U.S., hitting markets from Nashville, Tenn., and Dallas to Los Angeles and Atlanta.
John Tirrill, managing partner at SWH Partners, an Atlanta developer that has several projects under way in the Nashville area, is leasing a new five-story property with a fitness center, yoga and barre studio and swimming pool. He has lowered rents from $2.25 a square foot to $2.10 a square foot—a $150 discount on a 1,000-square-foot apartment—and is offering one to two months of free rent.
Mr. Tirrill said developers are lowering their expectations about the rents they are likely to get and might try to renegotiate loans or sell properties, though he doesn’t anticipate many foreclosures. The market, he said, is taking a “pause as we work through some excesses at the top end.”
The bad news for landlords is good news for tenants. “This is going to be one of the best apartment markets that I’ve seen [for renters] since 2011,” said Ric Campo, chief executive of Camden Property Trust, one of the country’s largest apartment owners. “The consumer is going to have a much broader choice at a lower price.”
Most real-estate analysts expect luxury construction to slow down in coming years as markets work through supply gluts.
Landlords believe the market will revive over time, however. While they don’t expect it to return to the highflying days of 2015, they say the apartment market should settle into its usual position as a steadily growing but largely unexciting part of the real-estate market. “I don’t see it getting white hot again,” said Mr. Tirrill.

Conclusions
The long-term future for the apartment market within metropolitan Phoenix as well as subject’s
submarket appears to be positive as the area’s locational factors (being in downtown Phoenix),
have led to a steady demand. As noted, the subject’s sub-market is superior to the larger metro
area in terms of vacancy; and the average vacancy rate has remained fairly stable in the recent
past despite large supply increases. Given the strong in-fill location with good amenities, the
subject submarket should remain a strong market for apartment rentals. However, the large
number of planned projects, and those in planning stages, will likely temper the planning of more
units in the foreseeable future.

OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEW
As an integral part of the economic feasibility and maximum productivity requisite for
determining a property’s highest and best use, an analysis of the appropriate real estate market is
necessary. Because the subject is an office facility, we have presented information concerning
the office market. Our analysis concerning each is presented in the following sections.
We have referenced the CoStar Phoenix Office Market Report for 2nd Quarter 2017, as well as
prior issues published by CoStar. This market survey includes all office, office condominiums,
office lofts, medical, etc. for both single and multi-tenant buildings. The following market study
presents an overview of the office market for the Phoenix metropolitan area and the subject’s
submarket. Specific issues addressed include historic trends in construction, absorption,
vacancies and rental rates.
Metropolitan Phoenix Office Market Overview
The Phoenix Office market ended the second quarter 2017 with a vacancy rate of 15.0%. The
vacancy rate was down over the previous quarter, with net absorption totaling positive 590,275
square feet in the second quarter. Vacant sublease space decreased in the quarter, ending the
quarter at 1,167,835 square feet. Rental rates ended the second quarter at $23.86, an increase
over the previous quarter. A total of eight buildings delivered to the market in the quarter
totaling 335,327 square feet, with 1,013,705 square feet still under construction at the end of the

Additionally, cap rates have been lower in 2017, averaging 7.78% compared to the same period
in 2016 when they averaged 7.96%.
Central Corridor Cluster
The subject lies within the Central Corridor market cluster as defined by CoStar.
CENTRAL CORRIDOR CLUSTER – SUBMARKETS
Downtown (subject) Midtown
The following charts summarize statistics for the Central Corridor Cluster as of second quarter
2017 as reported by CoStar.
Apartment and Office Market Overviews
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 54
As of second quarter 2017, the Central Corridor Office cluster comprises approximately
23,423,060 square feet of space in 558 buildings. For this cluster, 26 are Class A projects
containing 9,641,885 square feet, 189 are Class B projects containing 10,759,465 square feet and
343 are Class C projects containing 3,021,710 square feet.
Downtown CBD Submarket
In the subject’s more specific Downtown/CBD submarket, there was 10,425,852 square feet of
existing office space in the 2nd Quarter of 2017, which is the 7th highest of the 28 submarkets that
make up the study. The asking rental rate was $28.91 per square foot, the second highest and
above the metro average of $23.86 per square foot. The overall vacancy rate was 13.3%, well
below the metro area average of 15.0% and one of the lowest of all submarkets. No new space
was added in the 2nd Quarter of 2017, but 26,174 square feet was under construction. Net
absorption was a negative 4,525 square feet.
For Class A space, the total space was 5,065,976 square feet, or 48% of the total space in this
submarket, with an average asking rent of $30.66 per square foot and an average vacancy rate of
15.9%. The asking rent is slightly above the overall Phoenix market, and the average vacancy
rate is above the metro area average of 14.4%. Class A space had a negative net absorption of
43,908 square feet in the 2nd Quarter.
Thus, the subject’s immediate submarket has generally outperformed the metro area and most of
the other 28 submarkets in vacancy rate and asking rental rates for both total and Class A office
space.

Finally, the subject is part of the Phelps Dodge subdivision, which includes an office tower on
the adjacent site to the south. The office tower is known as One North Central, is reportedly
95.3% leased (Co-Star). This office tower has generally remained well occupied during its
approximate 15-year life.
Conclusion
For the metro area, overall office vacancy rates have generally declined since the peak in 2010,
to the currently 15.0%. The average quoted rental rate is at its highest level since 2009 at $23.55
per square foot. For Class A space, the asking rent of $30.66 per square foot is the highest since
2008, and the overall vacancy rate of 15.9% has remained relatively unchanged since 2nd quarter
2016 when the overall vacancy rate was 15.4%.
For the subject’s Downtown submarket, the average vacancy rate is superior to the metro area,
and average asking rental rates are above most of the other markets. Even with the new space
under construction or recently delivered, these trends are expected to continue.
Highest And Best Use
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 56
HIGHEST AND BEST USE Highest and best use is a fundamental concept in appraising real estate because it focuses market
analysis on the subject property’s optimum use given current market conditions. In ascertaining
the highest and best use of a vacant site or an improved property, it is necessary to study four
factors:
1. Is the existing or proposed use legally permissible or reasonably possible?
2. Is the existing or proposed use physically possible on the site?
3. Is the existing or proposed use economically and financially feasible under existing and projected market conditions?
4. Is the existing or proposed use estimated to be the most profitable among the alternatives that are legally permissible, physically possible, and economically feasible?
Our analysis of the foregoing follows.
Highest and Best Use - If Vacant
1. Is the proposed use legally permissible or reasonably possible.
The subject is in the Business Core, BC, area of the Downtown Phoenix Plan, or Code, DTC.
The purpose of the DTC, according to the City of Phoenix zoning ordinance, “…is to implement
the vision, goals and policies of the Downtown Phoenix Plan and provide the physical
environment necessary to create a pedestrian-oriented, dynamic urban center with an authentic
sense of place.” The DTC applies to all land uses, subdivisions and development within the
boundary generally between McDowell Road on the north, 7th Street on the east, Buckeye Road
on the south and 7th Avenue on the west. Each structure and land use shall be established,
constructed, reconstructed, enlarged, altered, moved or replaced in compliance with the
requirements of the Use Matrix for the Character Area in which the property is located.
According to the city of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance, “…the Business Core should function as a
strong regional center for employment, entertainment, conventions, tourism and cultural
institutions, drawing visitors from around the country and attracting residents from throughout
the region. … The greatest development intensity within the region should be located within this
Character Area.”
Highest And Best Use
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 57
According to the City maps regarding height limitations, the subject parcel is in a zone allowing
a 425-foot maximum height. In addition, the subject in a development density zone with no
maximum density of dwelling units per acre. Therefore, it appears that the subject parcel has
many legally permissible uses, with some of the highest available densities in the metro area but
is restricted by various encumbering easements.
2. Is the proposed use physically possible?
All forms of infrastructure necessary to sustain a variety of uses are to the sites, including public
utilities and services. The subject has a generally adequate shape, with street frontage on three
sides with access limited to one. It is a fully improved site, level and at-grade with surrounding
streets. Thus, any uses allowed by zoning would appear to be generally physically possible on
the subject site. However, as noted, the subject has some unusual development restrictions as a
result of the existing high-rise office tower on the site adjoining to the south and the historical 3
story building (Hanny’s) on the corner. The deed restriction and easements will have to be
incorporated into any future development of the site, thus adding significant restrictions that will
likely reduce the utility of the site, and thus it’s Market Value.
3. and 4. Is the proposed use economically feasible and maximally productive?
The subject currently has a base zoning designation that allows for a variety of uses, including
high density multi-family residential, office and retail/commercial uses. In addition, a hotel use
would be allowed. The uses which would have the ability to utilize the high densities of
development allowed are multi-family, office and hotel, with retail typically being used in
conjunction with these uses.
As an example, the subject is part of the Phelps Dodge subdivision, which includes an office
tower on the adjacent site to the south. The office tower is known as One North Central, is
reportedly 95.3% leased (Co-Star) at market rates. This office tower has generally remained well
occupied during its approximate 15-year life. Currently, there are five multi-family residential
projects in downtown south of Van Buren Street.
Highest And Best Use
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 58
Highest and Best Use Conclusion - As Vacant
Based on the four factors discussed above, it is our opinion that the Highest and Best Uses of the
subject site is to hold for likely future high-rise office or high density residential use as the
market dictates demand. As noted, the subject has some additional development restrictions that
will likely have a lower density of development and a longer hold time.
Sales Comparison Approach
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 59
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The basic premise of the Sales Comparison Approach is the principle of substitution which holds
that the value of a property tends to be set by the price that would be paid to acquire a substitute
property of similar utility and desirability within a reasonable amount of time. Other relevant
appraisal principles are anticipation, balance, externalities, and supply and demand.
The subject properties are composed of a single legal parcel of land. It is zoned for a high-
density, mixed-use, type of development in line with uses allowed in the Business Core character
area.
It is not known which use will ultimately be placed on the subject and the most likely use is for
office or multi-family residential development. The underlying zoning for the subject would
allow a 425-foot height, with unlimited residential density, depending on other site restrictions
such as parking and set-backs. However, as will be noted, parcels are rarely developed to their
fullest allowed by zoning. Thus, it is reasonable to utilize sales from other areas of the
Downtown Phoenix Plan, from other Character Areas that may have lower allowed building
heights and densities.
Therefore, our search for comparable sales was for the recent sales of comparable sites in the
Downtown Phoenix Plan area that are zoned for and/or intended for land uses similar to the
subject, with variances in density and height subject to adjustment.
Confirmation sources included the listing or sales agent (when available), Co-Star COMPS,
public records and an inspection by the appraisers. We have analyzed five closed sales of
comparable properties within the subject's general DTC market area. The sales are detailed on the
following pages, with a summary table and map following the sales.

Additional Sale
In addition to the five sales analyzed herein, the appraisers are aware of a sale located at the SEC
of Central Avenue and Polk Street. This sale occurred in February 2017 and was for APNs 111-
45-188A; -188B (formerly 111-45-188). The site is
38,469 net square feet (0.88 net acres) in size and
zoned DTC/BC. It is a former parking lot.
Comments: This sale was a single rectangular legal
parcel with frontage on Central Avenue, the major
north-south arterial through the downtown central
business district, and Polk Street, a neighborhood
street. The Valley Metro Light Rail has a north-
bound line running along the center of Central
Avenue, with a station directly across from it. Polk
Street is a neighborhood street and the intersection is
signalized. The overall site is rectangular with
frontage of approximately 125± lineal feet along Central Avenue and 310± lineal feet of frontage
along Polk Street. At the date of sale, the site was an asphalt paved parking lot.
According to the confirming party this site has a utility easement bisecting the site north/south
almost in the middle. This necessitated the splitting of the parcel into two almost equal parcels to
allow for full development. A lodging use will be developed on APN 111-45-188A and a multi-
family project with a parking garage and retail will be developed on APN 111-45-188B.
However, the confirming party, Mr. George Forristall with Mortenson Development, stated a
GPLET was involved in the transaction. Mr. Forristall stated the price paid was a total of $7.5
million for the entire 38,469 SF half block or $194.96/SF. Of this total, $2.5 million ($64.99/SF)
was attributable to the real estate and $5.0 million was the perceived enhancement of the GPLET.
We were unable to find an affidavit for this transaction. The lodging site (16,760 SF) does reflect
the affidavit of $5.6 million which he also confirmed, suggesting a value of $334.13/SF for this
portion. And as we were told, the GPLET was transferred to the adjacent portion (21,709 SF)
which is proposed for apartment construction sometime down the road. Mr. Mortenson called
this the "remnant" piece which was allocated a value of $1.9 million or $87.52/SF. However,

given the questions arising from the perceived enhancement of the GPLET and whether or not
this is part of the real property, we chose not to use this sale in the formal analysis.
Analysis of Comparable Sales
The appraisers located and utilized five closed sales of vacant land parcels zoned for and/or
intended for commercial development, similar to the subject zoning. These are all located in the
subject’s Downtown Phoenix market area, in one of the noted character areas. The sales range in
size from 13,644 to 58,462 square feet, with the subject in the lower end at 25,981 square feet.
Unadjusted unit prices for these sales range from $67.44 to $134.69 per square foot.
Price Per Square Foot Method
This method compares the comparables to the subject based on a price per square foot unit of
comparison, typical for mixed-use parcels of land. Sales are compared to the subject and first
adjusted for such factors as Property Rights Conveyed (i.e., fee simple, leased fee, leasehold,
etc.), Financing (cash equivalency), Conditions of Sale, Expenditures After The Sale and Market
Conditions/Time. Then the sales are adjusted for various physical considerations such as
Location/Neighborhood, Zoning/Entitlements, Size and On and Off-Site Conditions.
The reliability of this technique depends upon a) the degree of comparability of the property
appraised with each sale, b) the length of time since the sale occurred, c) the accuracy of the data
provided and d) the absence of unusual conditions affecting the sale. This method is most reliable
when comparing properties assuming similar projected Highest and Best Uses. In the case of the
subject, all of the sales are generally similar in utility and zoning, with six of the eight sales to be
held for future mixed-use development, similar to the subject Highest and Best Use. The sales
were sold for near-term starts on multi-family or mixed-use projects, several have projects
underway.
The sales are all within the same immediate market area, the Downtown Core, and thus have the
same market conditions and generally similar density and height limitations. While some owners
are planning a near-term start to projects, others are planning to hold for superior market
conditions for development or re-sale. Overall, these sales are comparable to the subject and
provide a reasonable basis for comparison.
Sales Comparison Approach
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 71
Property Rights Conveyed
The interest transferred in all of the sales was the Fee Simple Estate. This is the valuation
premise of the subject; thus, no adjustments were made.
Financing
Standard definitions of market value include payment in "cash or its equivalent." The equivalent
includes financing terms generally available in the market. All five sales were reported to be
cash to the seller; therefore, no adjustments were necessary for cash equivalency.
Conditions of Sale
Adjustments for condition of sale are required when sales occur which may not be arm's length or
a special condition affected the negotiated sales price. Four of the sales were considered to have
no unusual sale conditions and no adjustments were made for this factor. However, Sale No. 3
was sold at a reported premium, which the buyer’s representative reported to reasonably be 10%
to 15% for its proximity to other parcels owned by the buyer in the immediate area of the sale.
While the sale price was based upon an appraised Market Value, the buyer’s representative
acknowledged that a premium was paid. For this reason, Sale No. 3 was adjusted downward 15%
for this condition of sale.
Sale No. 3 was from different sellers to the same buyer for an assemblage. However, the
confirming party reported that the deal was negotiated separately and was considered a market
value purchase. Thus, an adjustment was not required for this assemblage.
Expenditures After The Sale
This factor considers any unusual expenditures required by the buyer after the sale that may have
influenced the price paid for the property. In the case of two of the sales, no unusual expenditures
were reported by the confirming parties; therefore, no adjustment for this factor was necessary.
A portion of Sale No. 2 was leased to the seller for a short term prior to development, and the
rental income is considered an off-set to the cost of removal. Thus, no adjustment was made to
this sale. However, Sale Nos. 1, 3 and 5 had improvements on-site at the date of sale that would
require removal prior to development.
Sales Comparison Approach
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 72
Sale Nos. 1, 3 and 5 have adjustments made based upon the estimated cost to remove the
improvements on a per square foot of size basis, as summarized in the following table:
Market Conditions (Time)
This adjustment is caused by changes in market conditions between the time of sale of a
comparable and the date of the appraisal of the subject. Changes in market conditions may be
caused by inflation, deflation, fluctuations in supply and demand, or other factors.
The following table shows the sales arrayed by sale date and sale price per square foot of site
area:
The closed sales occurred in a 14-month time period, with the most recent sale occurring 4
months prior to the date of value of this report. The oldest sale occurred 19 months prior to the
date of value.
The data does not appear to indicate a value trend during this period. In discussions with real
estate professionals in the market and the listing or buyer’s agents for the sales it was noted that
there has been a consistent demand for land parcels in the Phoenix Downtown Core in the past 12
to 20 months, and that values have shown some value increases during the period of the sales.
Therefore, a 2% per month upward time adjustment was made to recognize value trends.
Location/Neighborhood Environment
The subject property is located in the Business Core area of the Downtown Core area, DTC. All
of the sales are within the DTC, but in various other character areas. All of the sales are located

Sales Comparison Approach
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 73
within a few blocks of Central Avenue, in areas with the most active development and higher
price ranges within the DTC. The sales are all generally within character areas having similar
surrounding uses and allowed uses. In addition, for both residential and offices uses (the Highest
and Best Use of the site) there would be significant amenities of restaurants and entertainment
within a short walk. Further, the subject site is within the downtown central core, allowing
significant pedestrian traffic to and from employment and entertainment such as Chase Field
(home of the Arizona Diamondbacks MLS team) and Talking Stick Resort Arena (home of the
NBA Phoenix Suns) and being on the path of the Light Rail System. Most of the sales do not
have this locational benefit, except for No. 3, for which upward 5% adjustments were made to all
sales except No. 3.
Frontage
The subject and Sale No. 5 front to major arterials, while the other sales front to collector or
interior streets. Arterial frontage generally provides superior visibility and identity to a project,
whether residential or commercial, and thus can be a superior factor. However, Sale No. 5 has
only the fourth highest adjusted sale price to this point. In fact, the highest three sales, Nos. 1, 2
and 3, all lack major arterial frontage. The indication is that within the DTC, frontage is less
important than other factors and no adjustment was made for this factor.
Access
The subject is a corner site fronting three roadways. However, according to Craig Messer, with
the City of Phoenix Planning Department, the city would likely not allow a curb cut to the subject
site from either Central Avenue or Adams Street since they are pedestrian streets and the site has
access from a side street (1st Street). Thus, all access would be from 1st Street. This is inferior to
all of the sales, but No. 3, which have superior corner locations that would likely allow access
potential from two streets. A downward 5% adjustment was made for this factor.
Zoning/Allowed Density/Allowed Height
The subject parcel is located with the Business Core, BC, Character area within the Downtown
Core area, with a mixed-use underlying zoning, a 425-foot maximum height allowance and no
maximum density for residential development. This is the densest residential zoning in the City
Sales Comparison Approach
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 74
of Phoenix, and a higher height allowance than all but 3 sales, which range from 90 to 525 feet in
allowed height.
In recent discussions with market participants and David Goodman, with the City of Phoenix
Commercial Planning Division, it was noted that there have been no recent projects in these areas
built to the maximum allowed heights and densities, and that given the large number of projects
planned for the area, it is unlikely that a developer would consider such a high density use. It has
been typical in the recent past for new projects to be built well below the maximum allowed
heights and densities.
Sale No. 1 is planned for a multi-family project with an unknown height and density. While the
total planned height and density is not known, the Roosevelt East District has a building height
limit of 65 feet and a density allowance of 43.5 unit density.
Sale No. 2 is planned for a 35 story student housing project with 5 floors of above-ground
parking. While the total planned density is not known, the building height of approximately 350
feet is below the allowed height of 450 feet.
After comparing the sales by allowed height, those sales having allowed heights of 425-525 feet
(Sales 2, 3 and 5) had an average time-adjusted sale price of $130.66 per square foot to this point,
while Sale Nos. 1 and 4, having an allowed height of 65 and 250 feet, have an adjusted price of
$118.90 per square foot. However, Sale No. 1 has the most restrictive zoning but has the second
highest time-adjusted sale price. Therefore, an adjustment to the comparables is not necessary.
A final consideration under zoning is set-back requirements, which vary by Character Area. The
following table summarizes the front, side and rear set-backs for each sale based upon the
information on their respective Character Area requirements and their specific locations.
Character Building Set-Backs-FtSale Area Front-Min Front-Max Rear/Side
1 RE 5 10 02 ECW 5 15 03 BC 5 10 04 ECW 5 15 05 DG 0 5 0
Subj. BC 5 10 0
Sales Comparison Approach
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 75
As shown, all sales vary between 0 and 5-feet for a minimum frontage set-back, and none are in
an area with side and rear set-back requirements. All of these restrictions are minimal and have
little impact. Therefore, no additional adjustments need to be made for setbacks.
Size
Size can be a determining factor in the sale price of vacant properties. Properties of larger size
can sell for a lower price per square foot due to the principle of economies of scale and greater
capital requirements. The primary reason for this is that the purchase of larger properties usually
entails a larger capital outlay, a factor, which restricts the number of possible buyers, as compared
to the relatively larger market for smaller properties. Additionally, there is also a flexibility of
use that larger parcels have that is an advantage over smaller parcels.
The sales indicate a size range of between 13,644 and 58,462 square feet, with the subject in the
middle of the range at 25,981 square feet. After previous adjustments the data does not indicate
that size is a significant factor within the size range of the comparables. Sale No. 2, the largest,
has one of the highest adjusted sale price at this point, while the sale with the lowest adjusted sale
price, No. 4, is the second smallest sale. Thus, the indication is that within the size range of the
comparables there is no adjustment required, with the normal market trends of small sales having
higher unit sale prices being offset by the increased utility of larger sites. Additionally, in
downtown areas size factors tend to be reversed with larger sites typically being more valuable
since they have a higher development potential.
Off-Site Infrastructure/Utilities
The subject is fully improved and has all off-site infrastructure in-place, including concrete curbs,
gutters and sidewalks. Water and sewer lines are reportedly in surrounding streets. The sales are
all generally the same, thus no adjustment was required for this factor.
Topo/On-Site Improvements
The subject is level and at-grade with surrounding streets and properties. The site is being
utilized as a parking lot.
Sales Comparison Approach
Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 76
The sales are all generally level and buildable after the removal of some old improvements on
some of the sales (adjustments made in Expenditures After The Sale). No adverse factors were
considered for the subject or the sales and no adjustments made.
Shape/Utility
A final consideration is the shape and utility of the subject. The subject is an irregular site with
approximately 46 linear feet of frontage along the east side of 1st Street, approximately 200 linear
feet of frontage along the south side of Adams Street and approximately 97 linear feet of frontage
along the west side of Central Avenue. All five of the sales are of a sufficient shape as to allow
the full development of the site while the subject’s irregular shape does not. Therefore, all five
sales require a downward adjustment for this factor.
Further, as noted in the Site Analysis, Central Avenue and Adams Street are designated
Pedestrian Streets by the City of Phoenix, adding additional requirements for development,
related to pedestrian amenities that will add to the cost of a project. However, all of the north-
south streets in the DTC, most of the east-west streets, have this same designation. Thus, it would
appear that this requirement will affect all of the sales relatively equally and no adjustment was
considered necessary, or made for this factor.
Finally, the most significant factors affecting the subject are the requirements that any future use
of the site retains the easements previously mentioned. These restrictions are difficult to quantify,
but they will have a significant impact on the utility of the site in terms of any future project
planned for the parcel. In discussions with the brokers and buyers of the sales utilized in this
report, it was noted that restrictions of this nature diminish the useable area of a site and add
uncertainty to a project in terms of cost and can have a significant impact on the Market Value.
The subject does not have the flexibility to allow for this and it constrained by the easements.
Thus, downward adjustments of 25% for these shape and utility factors have been made to each of
the sales.
Our adjustment process is summarized in the following grid:

Brekan Nava Allen Group 17-04-13B 77
LAND SALES ADJUSTMENT GRID
Conclusion of Value
After adjustment, the sales reflect a range from $66.77 to $112.87 per square foot, with a mean
value of $94.47 per square foot. The two most recent sales, Sale Nos. 1 and 2, both occurred in
2017 and had the lowest gross adjustments and a mean value of $105.22 per square foot.
Therefore, considering the sales analysis and broker comments, it is our opinion the subject had
an indicated value at the date of value near the average of the two most recent sales, or $105.00
per square foot, or a total value as follows.
