This philosophy defines our fundamental approach to value-creation in all of our business practices on behalf of our stakeholders and customers. It is premised on the practice of working together to endow real estate assets with tangible physical characteristics that elevate the resulting project above the typical and expected. The goal of our efforts is not simply to achieve a series of built products. but to create places of lasting value. Brownfield Partners builds and leads teams of comprehensive and complimentary skills that combine to offer experience and expertise specifically targeted to address the unique challenges presented by complicated development projects. We believe our core development talents, our local backgrounds, and unique experience with complex development and financing struc`ures makes us a perfect match for the intricate realities of this redevelopment. This proposal manifests our view of the future of this site and represents a unique opportunity to create a legacy of value for both current and future stakeholders in Wheat Ridge. The true measure of the value created by this project will ultimately be measured by both asset appreciation and the enhancement of quality of life. We further believe that this project represents a unique confluence of timing, scale; and location that presents an opportunity to crea;e a signature place within the landscape of Wheat Ridge, a common ground for everyone. ,'heat Ridge Commons: Our Plan The vision we present for this proposal grew out of a series of ideas informed by the Wheat Ridge 2020 Conceptual Mater Plar., the Wadsworth Corridor Subarea Plan, and a preliminary evaluation of demand drivers for the corridor. These ideas are rational; simple: and therefore powerful. The result is a unique juxtaposition of private, public and civic uses that create a signature identity while being market responsive. Our plan is to create: • A signature identity for Wheat Ridge's `Front Door" • A place of vibrancy that is driven from a mix of uses inciudiny commercial, retail, residential, and civic. • A connection that makes the project cohesive with its surroundings and is inviting. • A developmerd catalyst to be leveraged into future projects that realize the greater Wheat Ridge revitalization goals. The result is an urban infill model that will showcase Wheat Ridge at the forefront of progressive and creative redevelopnient. We will create a vibrant destination that affords the first steps towards a larger coinmunity vision. This is the vision we share with you. On behalf of our entire team. we look forward to the opportunity to expand on these, thoughts and pursue with you the realization of this vision. Sincerely, Douglas A. Elenowitz Partner Dwnfield Partners, LLC Brownfield 1.0 REDEVELOPMENT CONCEPT Wheat Ridge Commons includes five main redevelopment components that attract residents, tenants, and visitors to the core of Wheat Ridge. This project features an internal central urban core with buildings and gathering space on all four comers. In order to maintain the urban feel of this concept, through streets feature parallel parking on both sides of the street with tree lawns and sidewalks fronting all uses. Integrating the street life with the land uses is one way to create a vibrant urban center that is attractive and inviting. VVheat Ridge Commons is arichored by a four story mixed use building that will house the new state-of-the-art 20,000 square feet VNheat Ridge Library. This library is unique because it will be the first mixed use library and residential project in the Denver area. The library is located or., the southeast comer of the site. Library and residential uses are compatible with the surrounding single family residential and will have the least amount of impact on the residents. The library will have a small cafe on ;he first floor as well that spills out into an open space plaza and grass area for people to sit, read, drink, coffee or have iunch. This component of the concept plan was inspired by a mixed-use library project in Hollywood, OR A detailed project profile can be found ir Appendix B. Above the l_ibrary will be 55 to 60 units of residential apartments that will accommodate the active adult resident looking to downsize from single-family homes to an area with amenities and lively activities. Wheat Ridge Commons is attractive to this demographic because of its location to services, proximity to the foothills and recreation in the area. The southwest corner of the core features a four story, 80,000 square feet office building. Part of creating an urban center is bringing people to the area. An office building will compliment the residential and library uses by bringing people to the site at all hours of the day maintaining a continuous activity level that supports retail and service establishments. Additional retail is very important to the City of Wheat Ridge and this site affords a great opportunity for additional retail space. 44th Avenue has a considerable amount of traffic during the day, combined with comparable uses on the north side of 44th; the northeast corner of the site is a great location for retail. Three, single story building sites at this location with surface parking in the back continue to stabilize the core of the site. It is important to remember the sensitive transition to the residential neighborhood to the east; therefore. the parking and landscape buffer between the retail and residential will ease this transition and create less of an impact on the residents. The density of retail, office, and civic and residential uses creates a tremendous need for parking on the site. In traditional urban neighborhoods. on street parking would be the only parking available however, surface parking is a necessity for successful retailers. In order to accommodate this need, the core of Wheat Ridge Commons is completed by a four story parking garage that is wrapped with ground floor retail on the east side and masked on the upper floors with creative architectural features and street trees This parking will accommodate office employees, visitors to the bank, restaurants, and other retail, as well as visitors to the residents of Wheat Ridqe Commons. The final component of this plan is geared towards jump-starting development along the Wadsworth corridor. The core of the Wheat Ridge Commons plan is expected to create a vibrant place that also creates value and interest in the surrounding areas. This plan proposes a four story mixed-use retail and office building along Wadsworth just south of First Bank. This building will have street frontage along Wadsworth and have surface parking in the rear. Currently, this location is the site of the Gemini restaurant, parking for the bank, and office space. Brownfield With the surface parking in the rear and the parking structure across the street, there is enough parking for all anticipated uses according to Wheat Ridge's current parking requirements. Sustainable practices are easily implemented into this concept plan. The site planning and design stage of the redevelopment is the first place where sustainable practices can be used. Building orientation, sun exposure, lighting, landscaping, drainage, and surface materials among others will be examined at this stage. During the demolition stages of the project Brownfield Partners will contract to recycle as much demolition material as possible with the potential for reuse on the site. The possibilities of sustainable practices magnify when the construction phase begins. Developers and contractors with experience in sustainable construction building materials will be preferred and it is a goal of this concept that the office building, mixed-use building along Wadsworth, and the mixed-use library all pursue a minimum of LEED certification. In order to implement this concept plan, there are - some key steps that need to occur. The concept plan currently includes the gas station on the comer of Upham St and 44th Ave. as well as the Gemini restaurant, a vacant piece between the parking for the bank and the Gemini, and the bank parking. In order to execute this plan, acquisition of these pieces must occur. Further details of how this may happen are included in the project financing and scheduling portions of this proposal. This coricept blends urban concepts with existing Wheat Ridge character. The success of this project hinges on the public private partnership of Brownfield Partners, the City of Wheat Ridge, and Wheat Ridge 2020. Ultimately; Wheat Ridge Commons will become a model for redevelopment in Wheait Ridge, not only for the aesthetic appearance and character of the place, but the structure of relationships and collaboratior, that form through the process.

Srownfield Asarco Giobe Smelter - Denver, Colorado (On going project) Brownfield Partners, LLC, through its affiliated Globeville I, LLG entity, is under contract to purchase the property from 77-acre former Asarco Globe smelter property from the Asarco bankruptcy estate. Once a major employer in Globeville and the surrounding neighborhoods, the site is largely vacant and impacted by significant soil and groundwater contamination. 4Nhile the market potential exists for a successful industrial redevelnpment, the cost of site improvements and remediation exceed the current fair market value of the land. Brownfield Partners' role includes underwriting, site pianning and entitlement, abatement, demolition, remediation, grading, and infrastructure development. Brovii ifiFld Partners has coordinated the support of and is working clesely with Adams County, the City of Denver, the Denver Urban Renewal Authority (DURA), and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Develapment (HUD) !o create a comp!ex publiclprivate fnancing structure that enables this important project to rnove forward. The program, which required the creation of new state wide redevelopment !eoisiaticn lead by Brownfield Partners, is slated to inciuc'e an inter-jurisdictional ±ax increment financing district administered by DURA. a HUU Section 108 loan sponsored by Adams County, private equity and debt, and a metropolitan distrii;t.

California (Completed) The Kaiser Steel Works was a 1:200-acre fuliy integreated steel mill near Fontana, Califomia Haff of the site previsouly had been redeveloped by Roger Pen;ki into the California Speedway, ard the roliing rnill had been sold to Califomia Steel Industries. The remaining 600 acres contained some of the more problematic elements of the property and had sat vacant for decades. As part of the development team, Brownfieid Partners' Prindpals worked closely with Riverside County and the Califoi-nia Department of Toxic Substanees Control (DTSC) and state otflcials to coordinate site remediation with redevelapment activitie;. The site was managed under a Designated Administering Agency process, which lvolv,;C formai interagency consultative meetings and coordination of the interaction of the Riverside County's pianning approvals process evith the environmental approvalc and dosure qf operahle units at the site. A portion of tha site was designated for public beneficial use.

Mll'' Brownfield 3.0 ENiT€AL ASSESS?!t?=N7 OF MARKEY/llSERS A formal Market Study has not been completed at this tinie, however a preliminary review of dsmographic data specific to Wheat Ridge has been evaluated and tempered against local and regional market awareness and consideration of the currert economic, development. and financing envir,onment. Sources of the prelimirary analysis include rnarket assessment and site tours. discLissions regarding the project gererally and the sita pian specifically with Iccal brokers and developers, and review of pub!ished dernographic and tren+J data rnade availabis by the City of Wheat Ridge, Jefferson Coun'ty, and Skate and Federai online resources. The City of Wheat Ridge The City of Wheat Ridye covers 9.5 square miles and is ce;ntrally located in the Denver Metro area approximately 5 miles west of downtown Denver. The Ci:y of Lakewood is locate-d on the south barder. the City and County of Derver is on the east, the City of Arvada is to the north, and to the vvest is the Ci?y cf Golder. Wheat Ridge serves as an inner ring suburb to Denver and is the home of approxirriately 2,059 businesses. Havir,g experienced 12 percent growth since 1994, the population of bVheat Ridge was approximateiy 31,252 as of 2006 and is projecting a S% net population loss over the next 5 years versiis 101ro grawth for the metro area. The median ::j. :u. the City of VVheat Ridge was 43 with 9 percent of the population over 65 as of 2006 versus 34.6 percent for the metro area. 7he median household income aecording te 2006 estimaies was $43,621 versus $54,900 for the metro area There are approximately 15.095 households in Wheat Ridge, wi:h 51 percent of the Louseholds being owner-orcupied versus 70 percent for the metro area. The estimated rriedian house value in LNheat F;idge in 2005 was approximately $2257400. Current demographic data and pro;ections highlight the pressing need for proactive ecanomic development and redevelopmerd measures to reverse or lessen these projected trends ard improve the long-term vibrancy and economic stabiGty of Wheat Ridge. Despite the projected weakeriing market fundamentals, iC is the opinion of Brownfield Partners that strategically directed communiry reinvestment could lead to a successful redevelopment that acts as a catalyst for area revitalization and provides opportunity for Wheat Ridge to capture the continued long-term growth that is forecast for employment, nopulation, and income +n the metro area. Subjeci Property The W. 44th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard Property is an attractive location with easy access to Interstate highways I-74 and I-76 and high visibility aiong the regicnal arterial of Wadsworih with traffic ceunts in excess of 44,000 vehicles per day. Local and regionaf shopping is within close proximi?y to the site and employment centers in downtown Denvzr are within a 15 mirute commute. At approximately 7.4 acre; the property has significant size to suoport a meaningful redevelopment project. A limitation to fulfilfing the project's potential is that the parcels under current Wheat Ridge Urban Renewal Authority ownership result in an irregular in shape. it is the opinion of Brownfieid Partners that the assembly of addifior,al out parcels a!ong lN 44th Avenue and Wadsworth Blvd. are important aspects to maximize the site utility and future value. Retail Use As prevlously noted, the location of the property is attractive to potential retail tenants because of the high traffic and visibility from two main arterials. Furthermore, prelirninary demoaraphic review suggests population and incomes within the immediate area are sufficient to support new retail and restaurant uses and a market void analysis indicates opportunlty for new stores. lt is our initial observation that si?e selection factors for reYail users which inciude day and night visibiiity, vehicle and pedestrian access, domestic corvenience, staffng ievel;, local busiress c.limate. compatibility with neighooring businesses, physical oa'ure of site in relation to major competitor_ competitor proxi-mity, signage or lighting, proposed trading hours. fixtures and fittings, price posl*•.ioning etc. are strong for the site. While we feel that retail uses can be successful within a mixed use project at this location, we caution that it will be of particular importance that the location of the uses be proximate to Wadsworth first and W. 44th second, as opposed io imbedded within the project site. Ultimately, a formalized market void analysis and direct inquiries with retaii users wili be conducted Brownfield to provide further information to the nature of the prospec4ive tenants. Civic Librery and Municipal Otfice fJse Another component of the conceptual master pian is the inclusion of commercial office use. Based on our prefiminary discussion with I,Nheat Ridge 2020. the City of Wheat Ridge has a need for additional administ:rative office space, we have contemplated there inc;lusion in Wheat Rldge Commons. The Ci:y's administrative offiices wili serve as a strong anchor compa±ible within the mixed use environrnent, will remove speculative development risk, and directly connect the irnestment of pubiic funds with public use. Location within this project also dernonstrates a commitmer.t to the long-term viability of the project and provides a continued presence and invested in!erest in creating a vibrant mixed-use environment supportive of ihe objectives articulated in the Wadsworth subarea pian. Market 13ate Office Use In addition to the City's office. iY is our inftial observation that a potential demand exists for private commerciai offices with a strong preference tov,ards medical office building (NIOB) users Severai factars influence this observation inciuding the projecYs location on Wadsworth Blvd., a major regional arterial, its easy access to Interstate highways I-70 and I-76, the projects oroximity ?o Exempla Lutheran, and area demoyraphics including higher median age percent of the population aver 65. This observa±ion is anecdotally supported by the demand as reflected in the ongoing expansion at Exempla Lu.heran and the high tenant occupancy by MOB users in the First Bar,k building focated adjacent io the project site. Residerrtr`a( Use We do Esppreciate the stated desire of Wheat Ridge 2020 arrd the C+ty of Whea! Ridge to increase The number of market rate residential units in the City. This is a valid and thoughtful long-term objective that shauld be pursued on a City-wide basis, however our preliminary market analysis suggests that competing projects and sub-area demographics may n-iake market rate residential directed towards a younger demographic difficult to achieve at this particular location at this time. - Specific factors fhat challenge fhis particular site incl jde the direct competition from recent multi-family residential development in Oid Town Arvada heavily subsidized by the AURA, current construction costs, and limiting median income of $43,621within the subarea. Upward pricing pressure on market rate multi-family construction results in achievable price points similar to those in areas with existing younger populations sucYi as the Highlands area of Denver and are likely in excess of the $225,400 Wheat Ridge median house value within the immediate area. This having been said, it is our belief that a residential cumponent is achievable wifhin the project, huwever it woufd likely be responsive to active adults seeking to absolve themselves of the upkeep required for singie family homes. The outcome is a new and progressive residential product in a mixed use environment that ir.ciudes on s+te amenities by way of retail, restaurants, and the library By addressing a popLdation that currently exists in Wheat Ridge, the project ciramatically lowers the absorption risk of the units, and existing single family housing srock becom2s available for trading on tha market and increased value within the communifiy. The strategy of targethiq an existing active adult population see5ing to dowrisize, vvhuse demographirs suggest income limitations, also opens the po?ential for creative project financing structures by way oF 4°/a low income housing tax credits targeted, r.o1 at 50°~o AMI, but rates inline wiih the incomes of current residents. The outcome is a financialiy feasibie residential component to the project that is market respcnsive and can be reasonably ahsorbed in the market. Brownf ield PAa,~~a,,,~ 4.0 MASTER DEVIEE_UPER As maste:r developer for the Wheat Ridge Commons project, Brownfield Par[ners sees itseif as a resource to WR2020 and the City of Wheat Ridge. Brownfield Partners wiil be implementing all steps of the project collaboratively with key govemment agencies and other private resources that may enhance the projeci. Execution of this project will undoubtedly be a challenge, however, with the variety of expertise and experience of Brownfield Partners, the project will be approached systemal:ically, effidently, and coliaboratively with all entities of interest. Our goal is an alignment of public and private stakeholder interest to create a special place in Wheat Ridge that adheres to stringent sustainable design principles and add economic, social and environmental value to the community. Brownfield Partners anticipates being responsible for the planned entitiement and development of the !and and infrastructure of the prnject. This would inc.lude, bat is not Gmited to, infrastructure and Litiiities pdanning, site preparation: engineering and remediai:;on, the identification of users, ard the potentiai building of product for tenants. Inherent in this is managing the development and disposition of sites from planning refinement to ffial build out, overseeing site preparaYion and infrastructure developrnent, financing, marketing and sale and or lease of the property. The team we have a, >-mHed is _::pzbie to undertake plan ref rm- for itema not fuliy-developed or addressed in the W R2020 conceptual master p1an. Furthermore the team has the relationships with other professional frms to build the project with potentiai end users and ienants for the development. !t is recagnized that the City of Wheat Ridge does not currently have a zone district that supports the fmp!ementation of the pl2n that this proposal presents. It is also recognized that the Ciry has a desire to create a mixed-use zor.e districi that may be applied to other projects within the city including the redevelopment of adjacent parcels to this project. In order tu create this product for the ciYy. SrowrifiE;ld Partners has a desire to work closely with the VVheat Ridge Department of Community Development to create this district. It is important that these two parties are involved in this process to ensure that the district is cohesive and aligns with the goals and enforcement processes of Wheat Ridge. This ultimately will aliow for a greater ease of implementation and create a realistic product for future projects. Because of this close partnership, Brownfield Partners anticipates that the pro}ect timeline will be longer for this project than traditional redevelopment projects because of the increased time for the entitlement period. Governing Structure The structure under which the Wheat Ridge Commons project will be completed will be determined during the project planning phase and is in part a function of the risk profiles of the stakeholder parties and the ultimate fmancing structure. Most of the property is currently owned by the Wheat Ridge Urban Renewal Auihority, however as discussed previously the assembly of additional parcels is recommended for the project. IYs Gkely that a Brownfield Partners related entity wauld be the holder of the consoiidated title e;ther independently or in a venture with a public partner during ±he enYiYlement and land dEVelopment phase of the project. The land will be subdivided with title to individuai parrels trans!erred for each of the vertical development projects. As an example, the ground under the mixed use library will be transferred in:o a new entity that will complete Yhe financing, construction, leasing, and management of the property. Should this project contain a LIHTC strategy, the long term management and compliance relative to the tax a,~u;ts will be an important factor in determining the structure. Eventua!ly, the right-of-ways and utilities will be dedicated to City ownership. While Wheat Ridge Commons is certainly a catalyst for the subarea, cn its own it would not appear to warrant a rnetropolitan disfrict or business improvement district. however one may be appropriate for the area as future projects come to fruitien. Marketing Marketing of Wheat Ridge Commons is an activity that begins during the project visioning and planning stage. The Brownfeld Partners team will proactively engage potential retail and commercial tenants directly and engage the brokerage community in the identifcation of site users. The team has experience with national and local fuil service ancf tast casuai restaurants as weil as a wide range of other potential users from entertainment to grocery, to soft and hard goods. Brownfi eld Early ide:ntification and planning discussions - with potential users provides the opportunity to incorpocate design components into the project to provide the best overall utility. While this activity may yield actual users and reduce speculative development risk, even in absence of commitments the conversation themselves generaliy illuminate the marN:et needs and inform the design relative to the type of users and their requirements. Design Standards it is common knowledge that a plan may look great on paper, but if the proper management and implementation measures are not created, the outcome rnay be quite different. The first step to ensuring that the vision is carried through is the entitlement piece. In addition, design standards created during the planning and design period will be irnportant ln executing the character of the Wheat Ridge Commons redevelopment plan. These design standards may include preferred materials, signage, and landscaping: arnong others. It wili be important to create opportunities to implemeat sustainable practices in the plan. Design, entitlements, and design standards are the best and easiest places to create that opportunity. We believe that creating a sense of place for the deveiopment will be enhanced throuah the effective creation of visible limits to this special prcject. A deftnable bounda,ry will establish a clear identity or "address° ihat wili be perceived upon entering ;hF area ard wi!i edd a layer of depth to the va!ue of the piace. The objective is to create a distinctive location within the contexi of the greater local area that is distinct and limited and th2refore special. This would be achieved in part by unifying the area through landscape, hardscape, graphics, and other features cf the infrastructure package that are created in rneir entirety af the onset of the development. Beyond thls, the creation of a speciai architectural overiay will strengthen the visual unity ot the project as the Place materializes. The method o# ensuring that architecfurai aspirations es±ablished in the beginning are indeed evidenced in actual execution is a practice of creating unifying design guidelines. This manifests itself in a document that outlines in detail the -irchitectural phiiosophy, the planning principais, and the landscape principals that must be applied in order to execute a building within this defined project. It's a guide that informs the owners, architects and builders as to the framework within which they must apply their talents, ft should be noted that these guides are a layer in addition to the requirements of City Planning and Zoning and other applicable administrative requirements. They are focused specifically on creating a visually connected "neighborhood" which exhibits a unique architectural character that enhances its personality and identity. tong Term Management Over the course of time, Wheat Ridge Corr~mons will transform into a vibrant destination with varying ownership structures. The right-of-ways and utilities will be dedicated to City ownsrship; retaii sites will be in private ownership and management, and the office and civic uses may be held in public ownership or private ownership under a municipal leas;ng strategy. Ultimately, upon retirement of the financial vehicles, Wheat Ridge Commons should be an independent and economically sustanabie pro;ect requiring no speciai managemer,t beyond customary real estate asset management. ~~~i Brownfield 5.0 PROJEC7 FINANCING !t is the perspective of Brownfeld Partners that a partnership between the public and private sector is crucial to the success(ul redevelopnzent of the W. 44th & Wadsworth Bivd property. Targeted public investment supports the common goal of encouraging neighborhood revitalization and creating maximum opportunities for orivate enterprise to participate in the revitaGzation. To tnat erid. it is the use of public financir?g in the early stayes of a sequenced redevelopment plan that is often the most effective approach to create lasting asset v21ue and ultimately drive private investrnent into the project The outcome is the transfonnation of hlight into a vibrant, desirabie piace for people to live, work and shop, and an enhanced tax base for the community. RecognizPng there is no silver bullet to executing this project, Brownfield Partners would anticipate that the Wheat Ridge Commons project take place in distirct phases, each with its owr sources and uses of capital. While the specific phasing and structure is best created in coi!aboratiol-, wiih the participating agencies, the phases evould oeneraliy include the follov✓ing comporents: Phase I: Planning Public Finances Potential Sources: • Agency and City general or directed funds Tasks. in;tial site p{anning, site etigineering, cosf estimating, detailed market assessment a+id void analysis, develepment of proiect lifecycle capital strategy, commuility outreach, leaal contracting. Dunng Phase i of the project. Browrifield Panners (BP) would take an active role in selecting anr_i contractirg with key consultanis for pianning and design of the project It is impor!ant durirg this stage that a key group of consuitsnts be selected to create a project that reafizes the visicn of this proposal, Brownfield Partners will also use its infegrated nehvork of professionals to gair reailstic cost estimates of project costs which then wili be used to inform the ultimate structure of the project financing plan. Brownfield Partners has extensive experience in contracting and managing consultants and contractofs including bidding processes to Iocai businesses and employmert centers. BP would also work with the city and WR 2020 to create a comprehensive r,ommunity outreach campaign to gain momentum and support for the projeci. Phase II: Land Assembly Pub6c Finances Potentiai Sources. • Agency ard City directed funds • Tax Increment Financing • CertiflcatES of Participution • Oiher Ciiy Bond Issue • HUD Section 103 Lean • CDBC • Other Grants Tasks: Purchase or negotiation agreements io include additional land/out-parcels in the projeet area completing the sie. Browniield Partners' role +n land assembly covers a vanety of tasks. BP wiil create and negotiate purchase and sales agreements vdith the current owners of adjacent/out parcels in order to come to a fair agreement. is expected tha± WR2020 and tF;e City of Wheat Ridge wili be part of these agrecmen'.s and the negotia±ions of sale. oP has experience in applying for funding and allocating money towards land allor,a!ion through Section 108 loans, bondirig. CUBG and other public funds. t3P will work with the city and b"vR2020 to draft any applicable appiications and evork •s✓ith the agencies to work through the necESSary processes Phase III: Land Development Publio Finances °o!ential Sources: • Brownfield Revolvirig I_oan • Tax !rcrement Financin9 • Certificates ef Participation • Other City Bond Issue • HUD ;ection 108 Loan -CDBG • O,he; Grants Tasics: Abatement, denioii?ion, remediation, infrastructure deve!apment, position for vertical ccnstruction. As demonstrated by BP's previous projects, this stage of the development will be planned to maximize resources and will be timed in order to create private investment opporturities during future phases. BP wi!i create a detailed timeline Brownfleld for abatemenY, demoliGon, remediation, and infrastructure developrnent as weil as manage the bidding process for contractors and ultimately act as manager of alI contractors selected for work during this phase. Phase IV: Vertical Development of Civic and Private Structures Public Finances and Private investment Potential Sources: • Tax Increment Financing • Low Income Housing Tax Credits • Certificates of Participation • Fee abatemenYs • Other City Bond Issue • HUD Section 108 Loan •CDBG • Bank Loan • Equity investment Tasks' Construction af civic uses include mixed-use library and residential building. and municipal office building At this stage of the project Brownfeid Partners will look to additional resources of the team and deveiop a strategy for vertical coristruction phase of the project. Brownfield Partners wll remain the master developer at #his point and wiil have agreements wi±h additional resources to desiar, bid, and constnact the vertical piece. It is anticipated that this phase will begin to attract pi ivate investment and the projeci will begin to realize a re*,urn on pub!ic investment doliars. Priva± investment w:l! not only lezd to a reduction in the land basis, but the developmeni itself will lead to +ncreased tax baeis to apply towards TIF or loan retirernent. Depending on the ability to struciure a financeable lease with JefFerson County Gbraries and the ultimate office tenants, ii is conceivable that the civic faci6ties then?selves could be privately financed. Phase V: Verticai Development of Private StructUres Private InvesYrnent Potential Saurces: • Bank Loan • Equity investmer.t Tasks: Marketing and Sales of retaii development ~ ;ites Phase V includes the wrap up and stabilization of the projer,t. This includes continued marketing of the project Cy Brownfield Partners and its resourres as weil as leasino of retaii and office space. Brownfleld Partners, throughout the duration of the project, will act as a manager of consultants, manager ot contractors, consultants to the City of VVheat Ridge and WR2020, as well as the responsible party for financial reporting and compliance. BP will be the driver of the project and ensure that each integral piece to the puzzle is accourited for and completed in order to create a successfui project that meets the goals o? WR2020 and Wadsworth Corridor Subarea Pian. = Rli; Srownfielcl 6.0 PROJEi:T 71MELINE Developinent of Wheat Ridge Commons will take place in distinct phases with some overiap anticipated. The phases and cenceptual project timeline are discussed below. Phase i- Initial site planning, engineering and cosi estimating, development of the capital sirategy, community outreach, Iegal contracting. Anticipating not only the planning, coordination, and public. process requirements of the project, but also the creal:ion of a zone districl that supports the implementation of the plan, we expeci the projec. timeline to be longer for this project than tradiYional redevelcpinent projects. It would be a goal io complete the Phase I activities over the 12-18 mc,nth period following awarding of the project. Phase Il - The Iand assembly stage wili provide for negotiation of agreements to purchase or otherwise include addifionai land/oui-parceis in the project 2irea completing the site. It is anticipated that neguiiation of agreements will run concurrent avith Pheise I with actual closing at initiation of the land development act!b'ItIP.S. Phase Ill - The land development phase will provide t`or any necessary abatement, demolition and remediation. as well as the infrastructure cievelopment. This phase wiil include the construction level design document, permitting. and physical site work. Ir total khis phase o` We ,:.:,eci is achievable over a 9-12 month periad. Phase IV - This construction phase wili entail subdivision of the parcel and vertical development of the mixed-use library and potentiaily the municipal office building. The preparation of dESign documents, pErmitting, and construciion of the mixed-use library and is likely to be compieted over a 12 - 18 rnonth period, with a similar timeline for the office buildina. If the market p:ovides for it at the time, efficiencies may be gained by concurrer.t development of botn projects with a goal of 18 months for delivery. Phase b' - This construction phase will continue wi,h subdivision of land and vertical development of private structures including the retaii and commercial sites. Depending on project marketing and absorption, Phase iV and V may run concurrentiy. The preparation of design documerts, permitting, and construction of the retail buildings is achievable in a 12 month period, however we articipate 12-18 months for the development of the commerciai structures. A graphic representation of the timeline can be found in Appendix U. 7.0 OTHER RELEVANT ISSUES While not the leading chailenge. development of Wheat Ridge Commcrs will require the underwriting and rnariayement of environmental compiexities wifh respect to asbestos abatement and the acquisition of the adjacent gas parcel, Taking on and managing the risks in a brownfie!d project is not as simple as adding a single box called "Environmental" to the development framework. It requires an integrated view of the overall process and drivers of traditional real estate deve!opmer.t and the management of their fnierrelaticnship v✓ith environrnentai cornplexity. If selected as Master Deve!oper, Brownfield PGrtners can bring its credibfe relationships with the Colorado Department of Puhlic Hea;th and Environment and its unique expertise in risk te the benefii of the City and the projecf.
