HomeMy WebLinkAboutWS Item 01 - Consultant PresentationsWS ITEM # MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER 13R-, MEETING DATE: JUNE 2, 2014 SUBJECT: CONSULTANT PRESENTATIONS 185 ACRE TRACT MASTERPLAN AND FEASIBILITY STUDY In late 2013 when the 185 acre tract was purchased by the City, it was agreed that the first step to enhancing the value of the land and thus returning it to the private sector would be a feasibility study and a masterplan that would be consistent with the vision of the City for development of the land. The first step in the process would be the feasibility study. The study would include feedback from the City Council, staff, area businesses, targeted business industries and area brokers and potential developers. This data would all be integrated to determine what the most economically feasible uses for the property would be. The second step would be to take the date from the feasibility study and determine how best those uses would fit onto the property. This would take into account the topography of the site, along with aesthetic features and infrastructure such as parking, site access and internal circulation. Staff released a Request for Proposals on January 28, 2014 and 19 firms submitted proposals. Staff, consisting of myself, the Assistant City Manager, Economic Development Manager, Director of Administrative Services, Director of Development Services, Executive Director and Assistant Executive Director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau reviewed the submittals and interviewed 9 firms. The firms were narrowed down to 4 for second interviews. Based on the information obtained in those interviews staff has asked Gateway Planning and H.R. &A to present to you tonight. Some things you might consider noting as you listen to the presentations include the firm's background on similar projects, the composition of the consulting team (including the use of specific consultants such as economists, architects or attraction specialists), and their philosophical approach to the project. Staff has checked references for both firms and they were all very positive. Once you select a firm that you believe is best suited for our needs, we will begin price and contract negotiations and that contract will be submitted to you for final approval. JCH May 28, 2014 (10:40AM) REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS MARKET /FEASIBILITY STUDY MASTER PLAN FOR 185 ACRES OWNED BY THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE City of Grapevine Development Services 200 South Main Street Grapevine, Texas 76051 817- 410 -3154 0:185 Acres /RFQ Page 1 Introduction In December 2013, the City of Grapevine purchased approximately 185 acres of property in the northeast portion of the city. It is the intention of the city to conduct a market/feasibility study and develop a master plan for the property. Ultimately, the City of Grapevine will market the property to developers /users who wish to develop in accordance with the master plan. About the Community Grapevine remains one of the most dynamic communities in the Dallas /Fort Worth region. Grapevine's population increased from 20,202 in 1990 to 47,854 in 2012. Grapevine's rapidly growing population is attributed to several factors, including the city's proximity to developing employment centers, high quality housing in well planned subdivisions and a school district ranking high in academic achievement. The City of Grapevine has a current population of approximately 47,000. Population within a ten mile radius is 700,000 and within a 50 mile radius is 6,600,000. The average household income in Grapevine is $94,682. Average household income within 50 miles is $76,950. Entertainment, attractions, hospitality and tourism are important to Grapevine, with total annual visits exceeding 20,000,000. Approximately 85 -90% of retail sales are to non- residents. Notable attractions include Grapevine Mills Mall, Sea Life, Legoland Discovery Center, Gaylord Texan Hotel and Resort, Great Wolf Lodge, Bass Pro Shops, Lake Grapevine, festivals and events within the Grapevine Historic District, wineries and the Grapevine Vintage Railroad. Grapevine is one of only seven International Festival and Events Cities in the U.S. About the Property The subject property is located in northeast Grapevine and was originally an assemblage of 162.112 acres south of Denton Creek (Tract 1) and 50.556 acres north of Denton Creek (Tract 2) for a total of 212.678 acres. A 20 acre tract (Dream Gardens) located roughly in the center of the subject property was sold in February 2009. TxDOT has subsequently acquired approximately 7 acres from Tract 1 for the SH 121 and FM 2499 widening projects. The remaining property encompasses slightly more than 185 acres. Tract 2 lies within the Denton Creek Floodplain with approximately 17 to 20 acres reclaimable. The survey(s) of the individual tracts can be found in the attachments. The general characteristics of the subject property follow: 0:185 Acres /RFQ Page 2 General Location: The property is located in northeast Grapevine with approximately 10 acres of Tract 2 lying in the Town of Flower Mound. The property is bordered by State Highway 121 on the east, Grapevine Mills Boulevard North on the south, FM 2499 on the west and Lakeside Parkway and Enterprise Road on the north and northeast. Topography: The overall project includes a variety of topography ranging from level to sloping, to rugged. Improvements: Water and Wastewater Lines crossing southern half of Tract 2 and bordering Tract 1 Soil Conditions: A soil analysis for the site is not currently available. In the absence of a soil report, it is a specific assumption that the site has adequate soils to support the highest and best use. Nuisances and Hazards: No nuisances or hazards were noted that would adversely affect the use of the property. Easements, Restrictions, Encumbrances: Floodplain and Water and Wastewater Easements are located on the tracts as reflected in the attachments.

Zoning note: The city of Grapevine recently added a section to the zoning ordinance titled "Entertainment and Attractions Overlay" (attached), in order to attract and facilitate attraction uses. The subject site was one of the properties for which this overlay was envisioned. Street Improvements: • State Highway 121 is a major controlled access highway with three lane service roads, currently under contract for widening and capacity improvements. • Grapevine Mills Boulevard North is a four -lane divided roadway that is under contract to widen to a six -lane divided roadway. • Grapevine Mills Parkway (FM 2499) is currently under construction to convert the roadway to a controlled access highway bordering Tract 1 with a limited access northbound service road • Lakeside Parkway is a four -lane divided roadway • Enterprise Road is a two -lane undivided roadway Surrounding Uses: North — vacant land and industrial buildings South — retail centers and regional mall, hotels, restaurants and attractions East — major highway and industrial buildings West — retail and apartments, hotels, water parks and attractions Traffic Volume: In the immediate vicinity of the site, 2012 traffic count data from the Texas Department of Transportation shows Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) volumes of approximately 43,000 vehicles per day on FM 2499 and 100,000 vehicles per day on State Highway 121. 0:185 Acres /RFQ Page 4 Goals and Objectives for Development of the Property To spur economic development consistent with Grapevine's long held development objectives of increasing visitors and thus tax revenues through projects that emphasize hospitality, entertainment and retail. To maximize the tax revenue (sales tax, hotel tax) and property tax value of the property. To produce a master plan for the tract combining the highest and best use of the property with current and future anticipation market demand for the immediate surrounding area as well as the region. To provide the City a working document/master plan to use to realize the potential development on the property and providing a framework for developers and brokers interested in developing or purchasing all or part of the property so that it can be developed in a manner generally reflected in the master plan. General Scope of Work The scope of work for the RFQ will include two primary elements to be conducted in two phases; a market/feasibility study, and a master plan for the property. Any firm responding to this RFQ may submit for Phase I, Phase II or both. The two phases may be conducted by a single firm or separate firms at the discretion of the city. Phase I - Market/Feasibility Study • Including but not limited to site location, site characteristics, allowable uses, local and regional demographics and economic climate, conduct a market study to identify market compatible land uses for the subject property. The study shall include not just types of uses, but the potential amount of each use. If it is anticipated that market conditions will change the nature of the potential uses within the next five years, include this information. • Based on the above study, given the success of Grapevine with attraction, hospitality and entertainment venues and taking into consideration the goals and objectives for development of this property outlined on page four, identify the most desirable uses for the property. Again, the study shall identify the potential amount of each use. If it is anticipated that market conditions will change the nature of the optimal uses within the next five years, include this information. 0:185 Acres /RFQ Page 5 • The studies shall include an overview of market perceptions and demand for the property in its entirety with an emphasis on those tracts which are the most desirable and how they might best be configured with what type of recommended use or uses. • It is important that approximate square feet, number of units, hotel rooms, etc. be projected based on the consultant's expertise and analysis of the property combined with market forces. • Prioritize those sites which have immediate demand for development and or sale as well as those that should be held on to for future development as demand increases for the area. • Based on the above studies, produce a list of potential specific users. This list may, and should include local, regional and national companies. Along with each user include a physical address, phone number, and contact name. • Based on the identified potential uses and the projected size of property for each use, provide an estimated land sale price range for each. Phase II - Master Plan Based on the market study, a master development plan shall be developed for the subject property. It should be understood that the master plan is purely conceptual in nature. It is unlikely that the property will be developed exactly as shown on the plan. Instead, the plans should be viewed as an exhibit showing the potential uses, density, circulation and theming desired by the city. The master development plan shall include, but not be limited to: • Effect of clustering of like activities such as attractions, restaurants, retail and the creation of pedestrian and plaza spaces. • All roads, drives, parking and loading areas. Potential vehicular traffic volumes and capacities shall be identified. • Relationship of clusters of attractions restaurant, retail to hotels, office buildings and transportation hubs /parking structures. • Specific uses that would optimize the topography and creation of certain water features within existing topography. • Land uses and building footprints. Each potential property shall include lot size, building size, building height (in stories and feet). Each lot shall also include schematic landscaping and hardscaping. 0:185 Acres /RFQ Page 6 • Identify unique non - vehicular transportation such as narrow gauge rail, overhead chair ride etc. and how they would like clusters. • Utility nodes for the overall site as well as major internal points of distribution /intersection. • A pictorial representation of the entire site, showing hypothetical building height and massing. • Vignette perspective drawings showing representative streetscapes. • A chart showing numeric breakdown of lot sizes, land uses, and potential building areas. This shall also include required parking calculations. • Suggest the size of clustering locations and the vehicular and pedestrian link between those areas. • A chart showing breakdown of public and open space. Submittal Requirements Submittals for both phases shall follow exactly the format outlined below. Additional information may be submitted (and is encouraged) but should follow the required information as an attachment.

Cover Letter February 24, 2014 Scott Williams Development Services Director, City of Grapevine 200 South Main Street Grapevine, Texas 76051 Re: RFP for Market /Feasiblity Study Master Plan Dear Mr. Williams, OurTeam's extensive experience with complex, high profile properties is well suited to achieve both Grapevine's vision for a signature destination and securing maximum return on investment over time. Gateway Planning is known for its activation of complex, well located properties. For example, our team with the support of Kimley Horn, planned, entitled and then positioned the Bush /75 Properties in Richardson for the Parliament Group. Our work resulted in our client's premium sale to KDC for its 2.2 million square foot State Farm mixed use build -to -suit at Central Expressway and the PGBT Tollway. We also understand walkable, people places at the pedestrian scale, which we know is important to the City. In that regard, for example, we have been leading the reinvention of both Downtown Roanoke and Downtown McKinney. We looked at your goals for the initiative in order to recruit the needed talent for the project. We have worked together in different combinations many times through the years. As you will see in this qualifications submittal, the following team members are a great fit: • Kimley Horn's Roy Wilshire has been working in the area and on this site for many years, responsible for significant trunk infrastructure in the area and support of the development of the Mills, and Tom Grant is one of the best designers of walkable urban street infrastructure, which will be necessary for the premium sale of the property for the activation of a large signature project; • Catalyst Commercial's Jason Claunch is one of the most experienced retail /commercial market analysts and recruiters in the region, most recently leading the analysis for DFW's real estate development strategy and formerly in -house with Billingsley; • Market Feasibility Advisor's Dan Martin has a track record of positioning, recruiting and activating a wide range of entertainment destinations around the country and in Texas; • O'Brien Architects' Jack O'Brien brings experience delivering literally thousands of mixed use and commercial vertical projects, providing a functional capacity to the master planning effort, and his co- venture colleague, George Sakakeeny (formerly with Goldman Sachs) offers years of disposition experience with complex mixed use real estate providing a focus on the most important end goal of the project, a significant sale or partnership that yields substantial returns. In addition to each member being very experienced and financially stable, we are ready to partner with you and your colleagues for this effort. We very much appreciate your consideration for this critical work and look forward to an interview to discuss an approach in detail that will build on the history of success in Grapevine.

He has found that the most successful projects are planned and designed in response to market influencers such as trade area demographics and psychographics, competition, and trade area economic vitality. George strives to find balance among the key aspects or components of a project. The balance between: design features and cost; municipal ordinances and project flexibility; density necessary to generate acceptable investment returns and the desire to maintain sufficient green space; tenant quality /mix and financial returns and; the "Wow" factor from new and innovative concepts and project longevity from tenants that keep patrons coming back to name a few. As one of Grapevine's last large tracts of land available for commercial development, it is critical that the master plan be prepared with a balanced approach in mind.

Catalyst c a ta Iu S t has worked on projects in and around the city of Grapevine, including a recent Market Analysis for DFW 7 Airport for the Founders Plaza development, which is located at the north end of DFW Airport, adjacent 7 to Grapevine. In addition, Catalyst conducted an analysis for DFW Airport on the Coppell Royal /635 site. Catalyst also worked on the recently completed Belt Line TOD for DFW Airport. Catalyst also completed an analysis for Southgate Plaza, which consists of a new hotel project, DFW Airport's commercial division headquarters and mixed - use retail. Catalyst also lead Billingsley's retail division, which included the Stars and Stripes Grapevine tract (located just south of the proposed Grapevine project). Catalyst worked on the Cypress Waters acquisition for Billingsley and participated in the design, which is now under development. Catalyst also completed a regional retail analysis for the city of Coppell in January 2014. Catalyst has worked on a range of projects in Dallas /Fort Worth including retail, hospitality, restaurant, mixed -use, office, industrial, residential, and multi - family. Catalyst also works direct with many operators and conducts specialized research on behalf of many brands and developers. Our knowledge of local assets can provide strategic insight on how to position the Grapevine tract in context with other proposed and planned projects. Catalyst's approach for the Grapevine project would include unique approaches focusing on quantitative research on identifying the number of visitors, which have a propensity to spend more entertainment dollars in the Grapevine economy. Catalyst recognizes the strength of Grapevines competitive position in capturing entertainment demand. In addition, Catalyst would quantitatively identify the current reach of Grapevine's regional retail and restaurant economy and identify the capacity of the retail, restaurant and entertainment economy over the short term (1 -5) and mid term (5 -10) and long term (10 +) to determine the Grapevine's ability to harness additional best -in -class destination uses. In addition, Catalyst will benchmark local factors which Grapevine can dominate both nationally and regionally against other peer communities in DFW and nationally. Our core research will also be used to identify other anchors, which may be considering the D /FW region. Currently, Catalyst is tracking over $7m square feet in office tenants which are considering building new campuses. Our data could be used to promote the Grapevine tract and a top corporate location for a build to suit to take advantage of its position near DFW Airport, the newly constructed Connector, natural features of the site, and international recognition of the city of Grapevine. Catalyst also has the ability to determine the fiscal impact and economic implications for various decisions and scenarios and can build complex models to test the benefits of multiple options to identify the highest and best use and greatest yield from internal or external perspectives. Oklahoma City (Maps 3) — Catalyst completed the Market Analysis for The Alliance for Economic Development in Oklahoma City in 2014. This project consisted of over 70 acres and $777M in funding for public /private investments. Catalyst's role was to understand the capacity for retail, restaurant, office, and residential from current conditions through a 10 year phasing strategy. DFW Airport (Southgate Plaza) — Catalyst completed an analysis in 2013 on the 32 acre greenfield site at the southern end of DFW Airport, which led to the relocation of DFW Airport Headquarters, new hotel, and service retail. This is part of DFW's Aerotroplis concept. DFW Airport (Founders Plaza) — Catalyst completed an analysis in 2012 which led to the recruiting of a national service station and associated retail.

With these projects we have learned to balance the day parts and FIDE mix of retail, dining, and entertainment to build a mix that draws target markets year- round. Here is a selection of the projects we have worked on. Navy Pier Chicago Venues — Attendance projections for Navy Pier in its entirety and each individual venue or activity on Navy Pier were needed for planning purposes as well as prospective sponsors. This included the performing arts spaces on the Pier like the family pavilion, Skyline Stage, IMAX, and Crystal Garden. Mr. Martin, in consultation with the client, developed proposed schedules for each facility and projected attendance for each for the first ten years of operations. The Pavilions in Downtown Denver— Feasibility study for a new restaurant, retail and entertainment complex located on a site in downtown Denver. The development, since built, has been successful. Dallas Area Entertainment District — market and pre - feasibility study for a proposed entertainment district that would include dining, retail, and entertainment in a coordinated district plan. MFA has assisted as the project has expanded to include a theme and waterpark. Country Club Plaza Kansas City Redevelopment — "The Plaza" as it is known locally, is a multi -block historic neighborhood featuring retailers, restaurants, and entertainment venues. MFA Consultants helped develop and testa re- tenanting and redevelopment strategy for this successful project. Entertainment District Feasibility Buena Park, California — A new entertainment district would be built within a strip of older facilities. MFA completed the feasibility for a range of entertainment draws including mini - -golf a museum, hall of fame, and aquarium. Downtown Vancouver (BC) Performing Arts Center — Two organizations, a group of music theaters and a museum, were vying for a prime parcel in downtown Vancouver. To help make a decision, MFA consultants were asked to project attendance and likely revenue generation for both. To do this, a thorough analysis of demand for performance experiences was conducted for the entire metro area and a capture rate for the site was established. A similar analysis was undertaken for the proposed move of the city's major art museum to the site. Mall of America Strategic Planning for Entertainment — MFA consultants worked on a plan for integrating a new generation of restaurants, entertainment venues, and amusement attractions into the Mall. The plan defined then projected attendance and expenditure demand from key target markets and ascertained what the appropriate capture rates would be for the Mall with the new array of revenue generators. Block 37 Chicago — MFA consultants completed a variety of cinema and other entertainment analyses for this site in the heart of Chicago's Loop. More recently MFA looked into the feasibility of an entertainment center that would be built into this development that would include a museum, restaurants, retail, event spaces, night clubs and other entertainment features. Upscale Disney Package — MFA consultants completed market research and analysis of upscale households and experience products known to draw them for a proposed attraction FIDE in DisneyWorld. This is a market the DisneyWorld product was not sufficiently penetrating at the time. Extreme Sports Park— For a site in the Austin area, MFA consultants completed feasibility and economic impact studies for a themed attraction package that would offer competition, training, and day use areas for a wide range of extreme sports and support food and beverage outlets built, in part, on a camp model. A second phase would include water park areas wakeboarding and other activities. Downtown Evanston, Illinois — MFA consultants completed the feasibility for what has become a successful cinema package of GATEWAYPLANNING 15 mainstream and arts cinema in a unified complex. Destiny USA — MFA consultants worked for about five -years on the economic planning to help reshape a 1.5 Million square foot mall (dominant in its market) into a regional visitor destination. While the plans are ambitious, the project has thus far grown to 2.4 million square feet of space. Hotels have been announced as the next phase. Phoenix Area Entertainment Complex — MFA recently completed work to add a theme park, water park, and retail, dining, and entertainment area to a site in this area that already included a casino, resort and auto - racing school. Master Planning for the Kalahari Indoor Waterpark Resort — MFA consultants have twice been on master planning efforts for this resort destination in the Wisconsin Dells which now includes a more than 200,000 SF indoor waterpark, cinema, and indoor amusement park, spa, and convention center, numerous restaurants and close to 800 rooms. Schlitterbahn Vacation Village, Kansas City and Austin — For these two properties (Kansas City in development) MFA consultants completed feasibility studies. Each would have large indoor and outdoor waterparks, a retail, dining, and entertainment district on a riverwalk, between 750 and 1,000 rooms, convention center, and other entertainment experiences. Lake Padre, Corpus Christi, Texas— For this barrier island resort MFA consultants have completed development feasibility studies for the more than 1,200 acres including waterparks, retail, dining, and entertainment, golf and other sports, a marina, convention & meeting facilities, amusement park and other facilities that would turn this area into a stronger destination. Strategic Plan for Milwaukee Summerfest Grounds — The famed 64 -acre Summerfest grounds on Milwaukee's lakefront includes many different performance spaces with capacities of over 15,000 to fewer than 1,000. The facility was at a crossroads and the City called on it to develop a strategic plan for the almost two million paying guests who came each year. Mr. Martin responded with a process that has been successful as most of the recommendations have been implemented. Family Entertainment Zone, Manteca, California — MFA consultants developed the master plan economics for a large destination entertainment complex around a proposed lake and supported by an array of rides, retail, dining, and entertainment entities supported in part by a waterpark hotel and an indoor and outdoor sports complex for this central valley city in California. OTHER QUALIFICATIONS Destination Sports Complexes — Many family destinations are adding sports complexes. MFA has completed master plan economics and feasibility studies for more than three dozen destination sports complexes including field complexes with more than forty outdoor fields, large multi -field indoor complexes, and large landfill complexes featuring a broad array of X -games type sports and aerial parks featuring zip lines, mountain biking path networks and an array of other sporting activities. The Grapevine Package of Magnets - Some of the key anchors of the Grapevine attraction package are: Grapevine Mills Mall, The Gaylord Texan, the Great Wolf Lodge, the SeaLife Center, and the historic central area. MFA has worked on attractions in and around all of these elements including: Mills malls across the US, the Gaylord hotels in Orlando and Nashville (and the Texan too), Great Wolf Lodges (we have worked for Great Wolf Lodges and their competitors (like the Kalahari), have been recommended for feasibility work by them and on projects adjacent to them). We have worked on numerous projects like the SeaLife centers (for profit aquariums) across the US including their competitor Ripley's Aquariums. We have also worked for numerous themed, in many cases western - themed, historic districts like Grapevines. Experience in Other Family Destinations — MFA consultants have worked on feasibility studies and /or master plans in many family destinations including Gatlinburg, Myrtle Beach, Branson, Wisconsin Dells, Traverse City, the Poconos, Williamsburg, Destin, Orlando, Sandusky, Nashville, New Braunfels /San Marcos, Buena Park /Garden Grove, San Antonio and many others. MFA prepares a periodic review of these and other family destination communities that compares the new and traditional types of developments that are occurring in these areas and what is in the essential kit of parts that makes a community a family destination. We are currently working with two communities that are hoping to join the list of family destinations through the addition of new attractions, entertainment districts, and other visitor magnets. 16 GATEWAYPL_ANNING I I I I I I I .III PIR,H ER =FlECimley -Horn and Associates` Inc. Legacy Business Park - Plano, Texas Legacy Business Park Legacy Business Park is a 2,640 -acre corporate headquarters, employment center, and mixed -use development in northwest Plano. Its corporate headquarters include facilities for EDS, JCPenney, Frito- Lay, Dr Pepper, Ericsson, Intuit, Network Associates, Crossmark, Advanced Neurological Services (ANS), AT &T Wireless, Countrywide Mortgage, and numerous others. Children's Medical Center has purchased a site for a new north campus hospital. Corporate supporting uses are also provided, including SMU at Legacy, YMCA, urban housing, convenience retail, banks, and multi - tenant office opportunities. The Legacy Town Center, located near the center of Legacy Business Park, includes The Shops at Legacy, multiple restaurants, Angelika Theater, Marriott Hotel, multi- tenant mid -rise offices, and urban housing by multiple developers. Public and Private Synergy EDS and the City of Plano worked together to create two totally new zoning districts — Commercial Employment (CE) and Central Business District 1 (CBD -1) — in order to address the special needs of corporate users. Those needs include reduced required parking for single- tenant office buildings and flexible provisions for the location of housing units. EDS likewise implemented comprehensive codes, covenants, and restrictions (CC &Rs) to assure quality developments and provide organizational mechanisms for the maintenance of common areas and rights of way at levels far beyond normal City services. Redevelopment and Business Retention The master - planned nature of Legacy Business Park serves as an attraction for corporate users looking to locate within an area where property values and quality are assured. The Legacy Association also supports and provides cooperative forums for its members, such as shared purchasing relationships, corporate facilities staff forums, and HR staff forums with tailored SMU training opportunities. Making the Plan a Reality Kimley -Horn has provided a range of transportation planning, roadway, site civil, and utility engineering services directly to EDS since the early 1980s. In addition, we've provided similar services to many of the corporate users and their developers as they locate to Legacy Business Park. For the Legacy Town Center, Kimley -Horn participated with the Andres Duany planning team in creating the master plan, then provided surveying and site civil engineering services for the roadways and all the underground utilities. Kimley -Horn staff also provided the streetscape designs and landscape / irrigation plans to enhance the specialized needs of this pedestrian- oriented community. Still, Kimley -Horn serves as the technical support for the Legacy Association's Development Review Committee. IKimley -Horn Grapevine Mills Mall - Grapevine, Texas and Associates, Inc. Kimley- Horn's involvement with this project began before the land was even identified as a potential mall site. Kimley -Horn designed $4.1 million worth of water and sanitary sewer improvements along this same corridor in 1994, for the H/A Grapevine Joint Venture. Kimley -Horn examined potential sites for Grapevine Mills Mall during 1995 and advised the Mills Corporation accordingly. Prior to the actual design, our firm consulted with mall owners and the City of Grapevine to precisely assess the project and determine all its essential elements. Kimley -Horn provided site feasibility and due diligence studies, survey / platting / easement exhibits, roadway design services, signal and intersection design, design surveys, and construction administration services. The Grapevine Mills Mall site is part of an unofficial, 800 -acre corridor located north of Highway 121 and east / west of FM 2499 (Grapevine Mills Parkway). The site under construction consists of 170+ acres of land that were previously owned by Kimley -Horn clients. Kimley -Horn helped facilitate this project by being familiar with the land and the City processes, and by correctly interpreting the Mills Corporation's sense of urgency.

In that context Scott's team has structured hundreds of millions of dollars in public incentives /investments for projects representing more than $10 Billion in estimated build out. Focusing on urbanism as an economic driver, Scott serves on the National Board of Directors of the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU). Milosav Cekic, Designer, Gateway Planning — Lead Master Plan Designer With almost 40 years of design experience, Milosav Cekic will serve as the lead designer for the master planning. A former town architect in his home town, Nis, Serbia and a Fulbright Scholar, Milosav has been recognized as one of the top urban designers in the United States. This recognition resulted in his city council appointment for many years as chairman of the Austin Design Commission. His extensive experience with multiple retail projects that often included the construction management will enable the team to deliver a master plan that is emblematic of a powerful design vision but also can be translated into a final project by a purchaser of the property. Brad Lonberger, Vice President, Gateway Planning — Charrette Manager Brad Lonberger integrates design, architecture, regulation and master planning for private and public clients. Formerly with Torti Gallas in Los Angeles and specializing in activating mixed use with experience in such places as Los Angeles and Honolulu, Brad holds Bachelor and Master degrees from the University of Miami where he studied Architecture and Urban Design. There he focused on the role of urbanism and economics, a key to the proper implementation of sustainable projects. In this context, Brad's work combines traditional design techniques with digital imagery. A LEED Accredited Professional in Building Design and Construction, Brad brings extensive experience in leading integrative design workshops. Such an integrative workshop will be critical to ensuring that the master plan represents a framework for a flexible entitlement, prioritized infrastructure and the most attractive positioning possible for a world -class destination. Roy Wilshire, P.E., Kimley Horn — Lead Project Engineer (Civil Infrastructure) One of the most experienced project engineers in the Metroplex, Roy Wilshire has brought to life many high profile projects including the master plan for Legacy in Plano. Pertinent to this project, Roy facilitated the alignment of FM 2499 as it functions today; and was a key participant in the team for the Mills Corporation in the development of the area infrastructure for Grapevine Mills Mall. Scott Polikov and Roy worked side by side in positioning the Cityline Project for the Parliament Group with the sale to KDC, giving birth to the State Farm build to suit. Scott and Roy have worked on many projects together, focusing on using prioritized infrastructure to activate and leverage major destinations. The Gateway Team is fortunate to have Roy playing such a key role on the team. Tom Grant, P.E., Kimley Horn — Lead Transportation Engineer Tom is absolutely one of the best transportation designers in the state. He has teamed with Gateway Planning in more than a dozen projects to create street networks for projects that anchor major mixed use projects. For example, Tom is the lead designer for the signature roadway for the new Trinity Lakes mixed use project, a destination village in Fort Worth. (See the boulevard attached in the appendices that will be under construction this year.) Tom understands how to create a family of street cross - sections that can be used as part of the design framework for translation into entitlements, infrastructure plans and eventually signature destination projects.

GATEWAYPLANNING 41 1 V I I L I I �I.L,I PARINER THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK. • ,, Project Approach Building on the Mature Entertainment Market and the Unique Location The Team knows that the most successful projects are planned and designed in response to market conditions, which include trade area demographics and psychographics, competition, and trade area socioeconomic factors all impact economic vitality that builds on the drivers already in place. In this case, a major entertainment destination adjacent to DFW Airport in a robust development market central to the Region. Thus, the City must position the project with enough prescription to add value so that it attracts quality but also insures a premium, while maintaining flexibility for design details that accommodate the most robust opportunity possible. The Team believes that this balance should include: design features and cost; zoning to create predictability and project flexibility; density allowances to generate sustainable investment returns and the desire to maintain public space; tenant quality /mix and financial returns and; the "Wow" factor from new and innovative concepts and project longevity from tenants that keep patrons coming back to name a few. As one of Grapevine's last large prominent tracts of land available for mixed -use development, it is critical that the master plan be prepared with a balanced approach in mind. In terms of market analysis and recruitment, the Team's approach will include focusing both on qualitative cluster analysis to build on the mature destination entertainment and retail market as well as quantitative research on identifying the number of visitors, workforce, and regional consumers that have a propensity to spend more entertainment dollars in the Grapevine economy. This approach will create the baseline of the preferred use of the property primarily for destination mixed -use and entertainment. At the same time, the Team will quantitatively identify the current reach of Grapevine's regional retail and restaurant economy and identify the capacity of the retail and restaurant economy over the short Summer Music Festival Downtown Roanoke, Texas term (1 -5) and midterm (5 -10) and long term (10 +) to determine the Photo Credit: Gateway Planning Grapevine's ability to harness additional best -in -class destination uses that would be competing against a significant amount of current development activity in the region. The Team will take this approach to the next level by benchmarking local factors that Grapevine can dominate against other peer communities in DFW and nationally. This step is critical as many emerging entertainment and specialty retail projects are emerging in the extended submarket in Flower Mound, The Colony and Irving and beyond. The Team's core research will also be used to identify other anchors, which may be considering the D /FW region, such as corporate office. Build to suit activity is picking up in the Sunbelt as new office supply has tightened and corporate location preferences are shifting from isolated campus contexts to integrated mixed -use environments due to preferences by Millennials playing a greater role. Currently, team member, Catalyst, is tracking over $7m square feet in office tenants that are considering building new campuses. This data will be used to promote the Grapevine tract for top corporate center location to take advantage of its position near DFW Airport, the newly constructed Connector, best -in -class services, natural features of the site, and international recognition of the city of Grapevine. Master Planning that Achieves Both Predictability and Flexibility The process described below will include a master planning process that will drive the maximum value while creating a predictable, GATEWAYPLANNING 43 a V 1 4 L i n 1, , R 11 1 1 P A R T N E R yet flexible design context. We believe that achieving both predictability and flexibility is critical in order to avoid potential purchasers negotiating for a discount due to uncertainties, whether associated with entitlement or the market. Accordingly, the Team's approach will be to create a bold design framework that takes advantage of the strong infrastructure context and premier site location, while positioning it for a signature program. The Team believes that best way to do just that is to create a two - step process in which the master plan framework sets out a strong site structure — setting forth an integrated range of preferred uses driven by the market analysis— accompanied by design tools such as a palette of street types, public space types, access /parking scenarios, etc. This framework and palette will then provide a platform for a prospective purchaser to partner with the City to quickly finalize any needed modifications to the entitlement. In order to finalize a competitive and value driven package that advances a flexible yet predictable master plan, the Team offers Downtown McKinney Retail and Entertainment the ability to determine the fiscal impact and economic implications Photo Credit Gateway Planning for various decisions and scenarios to test the benefits of multiple options. This will enable the Team to partner with the City to identify the highest and best use and greatest yield from both internal and external perspectives. Proposed Time Schedule and Tasks to Drive Recruitment and Marketing Because market analysis, master planning, potential infrastructure investments, and a final disposition strategy are inextricably related, the following major proposed tasks are recommended as a process. Importantly, the proposed process is structured to engage potential purchasers and tenants contemporaneously from the beginning. The Team believes that this approach will provide the best market - driven inputs and potentially facilitate a disposition of the property before the process is completed. 1. Initial Market Analysis and Stakeholder (potential investor, developer and tenant) Interviews to frame and test the Market (Month 1 -2) 2. Site Assessment and Prepare Base Infrastructure Concept based on extensive prior work onsite and offsite (Month 1 -2) 3. Prepare preliminary Site Design to prepare for workshop (Month 3) 4. Master Plan Workshop to develop design context and to test market potential in design environment, as well as to engage potential purchasers /developers (Month 4) 5. Prepare Final Master Plan and undertake Fiscal Impact to structure Site Disposition Strategy and potential Public- Private elements (Month 5) 6. Facilitate City Adoption Process to consider proposed Disposition Strategy and any proposed zoning changes or infrastructure investments (Month 6) 7. Support preparation of Marketing Package and initiate Disposition Process or support Disposition thru identification of various developers that could execute portions or all of the "new" plan and /or facilitate prospective users if prospect(s)thru this process are identified (Month 7) By submitting this statement of qualifications, each of the firms affirm they are financially able to provide services to the City of Grapevine. 44 GATEWAYPLANNING a v I n L i A G R O U P P A R T N E R References Project Gateway Planning Bush /75 Regional TOD (CityLine) Richardson, Texas Sam Swanson sam @parliamentgroup.com 214.215.3124 Trinity Lakes Regional TOD and Development Code Fort Worth, Texas Ken Newell, President 817.589.9386 kenneth@kbnewell.com McKinney Regional Employment Center + McKinney, Texas John Kessel Craig Ranch 210.488.4201 jkessel @schertz.com Downtown McKinney Redevelopment and TOD McKinney, Texas City Councilman Don Day Initiative 214.405.2493 djd45999yahoo.com Padre Boulevard + Entertainment District South Padre Island, Texas Rick Vasquez Redevelopment Initiative 956.433.9141 vasquezric @cityofgalveston.org Catalyst Commercial Trinity Lakes TOD Market Analysis + Retail Fort Worth, Texas Ken Newell, President Recruitment 817.589.9386 kenneth@kbnewel I.com Medical Needs Analysis Colleyville, Texas Marty Wieder 817.503.1060 mwieder @colleyville.com Market + Feasibility Advisors, LLC Chicago Blues Museum Studies Chicago, Illinois William Selonick 312.224.3211 wselonick @ngkf.com City of Aurora, IL Special Downtown /River Corridor Aurora, Illinois Dave Dorgan Use Analysis 630.897.9214 dorgans @yahoo.com Various Economic Analyses for Resort Projects + Various + Corpus Christi, Paul Schexnailder Tourism Development Study Texas 512.382.0061 pschex2000 @aol.com Dallas Area Entertainment Development Plan Dallas, Texas Doug Dobbins 972.670.0076 Doug @Ibedevelopment.com Kimley -Horn + Associates Galatyn Park Richardson, Texas Tom Blagg City of Richardson 972.744.4312 GATEWAYPLANNING 45 < V I A 1 1 A G k 0 U P P A R 1 11 f R Cypress Waters Mixed -Use Development Dallas, Texas Bill Walker, P.E.

(HR &A) is pleased to submit this response to the Request for Qualifications for a Market and Feasibility Study and Master Plan for 185 -Acres owned by the City of Grapevine. These studies and plan are essential to ensuring that the City of Grapevine is able to optimally capitalize on this unique opportunity to develop a new neighborhood and international entertainment destination and we believe that the HR &A team is well - qualified to assist you in these efforts. HR &A has extensive experience in conducting market and feasibility analyses and development strategies for master redevelopment efforts. As the prime consultant for this project, HR &A intends to apply that experience by leading efforts undertaken during Phase One and managing tasks undertaken during Phase Two. Our experience is augmented by those of our other team members, Moule & Polyzoides (M &P) a national leader in the planning and design of sustainable urban places and Entertainment and Culture Advisors (ECA), international experts in the development and economics of world -class entertainment destinations. All members of the HR &A team have substantial experience throughout Texas. HR &A recently completed two projects in San Antonio: the Center City Strategic Framework and Implementation Strategy, which lays out a set of strategies to realize growth in downtown and surrounding areas and leverage downtown as a driver of economic growth; and redevelopment planning for HemisFair Park, in which we conducted a market analysis and development strategy for the master plan. In addition to this, M &P has been engaging in multiple master planning efforts in El Paso, and ECA is conducting economic analysis on behalf of the Reliant Park Stadium and Convention Center in Houston, to name a few representative examples of our regional experience. The HR &A Team offers both depth and breadth of knowledge with regard to the conducting the analysis and planning necessary to formulate an effective strategy for the development of major urban entertainment destinations. HR &A and its partners have worked on the creation of large -scale entertainment and retail - oriented redevelopment plans for Governors Island and Willets Point in New York, the Michael Reese Hospital campus in Chicago, the D Street corridor in Boston, and the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa. ECA's experience in assisting the development of entertainment destinations spans the globe, working on L.A. Live in Los Angeles, the reuse of the Shanghai Expo Axis in China, and on Universal CityWalks in the US, Japan, and China. As pioneers in New Urbanism, Moule & Polyzoides have worked throughout the world on plans and designs that ensure redevelopment efforts such as this are conducted with a focus on fostering high quality, sustainable urban places. HR &A Advisors, Inc. or; I !_-.,_ HR &A is committed to engaging key experts with the most relevant experience to bring this project to successful fruition. I am intimately familiar with the site and location having worked on multiple engagements in the submarket for DFW Airport and the City of Arlington. HR &A Partner Jamie Springer has led the Center City San Antonio Strategic Plan, the Downtown Austin Master Plan, and a range of other public private development projects in Texas. HR &A Partner Kate Coburn is an expert on retail recruitment and in the past has served as the Vice President of retail leasing for the Rockefeller Center in New York; and HR &A Partner Shuprotim Bhaumik brings extensive experience in public private development, disposition strategies and developer negotiations. ECA Principal Matthew Earnest brings national and international experience in market feasibility and economics of attraction development with close relations with some of the leading attraction operators and developers across country. Finally, Stefanos Polyzoides, Partner at M &P, is a world renowned urbanist and thought leader behind the New Urbanist movement, and brings a stellar track record of designing vibrant, mixed use urban districts that are often assembled on a framework of multimodal streets, walkable blocks, and a well- defined, dedicated realm of public open space. Together, the HR &A team has a successful track record of implementing some of the most prominent public - private partnerships in the country. HR &A's work on the Anacostia Waterfront Plan in Washington, DC, which received the American Institute of Architects Honor Award for Regional and Urban Design, has helped to catalyze widespread redevelopment, including a new baseball stadium, a 55 -acre federal office complex, several major new public spaces, and widespread private residential, retail, and office development. HR &A's work has also garnered awards from the International Economic Development Council for our work on the High Line in New York City and our work with the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) which led to the transformation of Fountain Square and Over the Rhine. HR &A's analysis and implementation strategies in Cincinnati helped to create a public - private partnership, which has helped attract more than $125 million in private investment to neighborhoods that were recently among the most economically depressed in the city. With a focus on implementation and strategy, HR &A has helped to foster the development of vibrant places throughout the country.

As part of our study, the firm examined national market trends in the aquarium sector and conducted case studies on three other aquariums. The firm also developed customer and operating profiles of regional competitors and analyzed the Aquarium's attendance, costs, and revenue; and evaluated the viability of expanding while facing increasing competition from other cultural attractions. Assessing the Economic Impacts of an Entertainment Oriented Hotel in the City of Chula Vista, California For Gaylord Entertainment Company, HR &A prepared an analysis of the economic impacts in the San Diego region, and the net fiscal impacts in the City of Chula Vista, of a 1,500 to 2,000 -room entertainment- oriented convention hotel proposed on land owned by the San Diego Unified Port District located within Chula Vista's Bayfront Redevelopment Project Area. The analysis included detailed annual projections of tax revenues, including property tax increment, which formed the basis for negotiations between Gaylord, the City and the Port District, over the scale and form of public assistance that would be provided to assist development of the project. Revitalizing Atlantic City For a consortium of resort owners in Atlantic City, HR &A created the economic and regulatory framework for a strategic plan to revitalize and reinvest in Atlantic City. In recognition of the decline in economic activity within the entertainment sector due to both economic conditions and new competition, the consortium created a plan with a series of initiatives to improve Atlantic City's major assets, including the boardwalk, retail and entertainment, resorts, and gaming. HR &A identified and tested the feasibility of a range of interventions, and developed an implementation strategy that included sources of financing and a public - private partnership model. HR &A also assessed the economic and fiscal impact of a range of policy options to increase visitation to Atlantic City and its resorts. With HR &A's analysis in -hand, the resort owners created the non - profit Atlantic City Alliance to work in partnership with government, and successfully advocated that the State of New Jersey establish a State - controlled Tourism District to revitalize Atlantic City's resorts areas in 2011. Coney Island Attraction Analysis The New York City Economic Development Corporation engaged an HR &A Partner to provide an analysis of the amusement program and to serve in a strategic advisory role throughout the rezoning process of Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York.' Prior to the engagement, the client had assembled over fourteen acres of land at the heart of Coney Island, intending to conduct a major, entertainment - oriented redevelopment project. The project program envisioned included an amusement park and retail programming along with condominium towers and two hotel properties, one with an indoor water park. The project required a rezoning from New York City Planning Department in order to move forward. In an effort to ' This work was completed by an HR &A Partner while with Economics Research Associates (ERA). HR &A Advisors, Inc. j !,I I _ _ ;, HIV i #> Advise, "'0, provide a current market context for the proposed amusement component, the team developed an overview of historical and current trends in amusement and theme park development. The team then addressed the feasibility of the amusement park component in terms of supportable attendance, revenues, net cash flows, and likely subsidy requirements. The team then worked with the client to develop a project - wide financial pro forma, integrating all envisioned program uses, in order to determine the respective economic contributions of each use as well as any potential financing gaps. The goal of this analysis was to determine whether increased density is required to make the project financially feasible. Development Planning for Lincoln Road On behalf of the City of Miami Beach, and working with the planning firm Thompson & Wood and retail consultants Williams Jackson Ewing, HR &A developed a reuse plan and development program and merchandising strategy for the historic Lincoln Road retail and entertainment corridor in the City's South Beach district. Advised a broadly representative task force appointed by the City on the unique opportunities presented in the revitalization of the 11 -block corridor located just south of the Convention Center. The firm's recommendations formed the development framework that guided the successful development of new hotels, a movie theater complex, preservation of historic Morris Lapidus architectural features of the Mall, expanded retail and parking capacity, as well as new facilities for the Miami City Ballet. The team's work also formed the governance structure for the operation, maintenance and marketing organization representing Lincoln Road Mall owners, merchants and other stakeholders. HR &A Advisors, Inc. 1 �� Developer & Tenant Recruitment ^%-:1-1 HR &A QUALIFICATIONS Developer Solicitation Advisory to the Florida State Fair On behalf of the Florida State Fair Authority, HR &A is providing advisory services in relation to redevelopment of a portion of the Florida State Fairgrounds, a 355 - acre site in Tampa, Florida, in a way that is synergistic with fair activities. During the first phase of work, we developed a process memo outlining steps and considerations for the solicitation process, including market considerations to frame potential developer interest, current and future Fairground operational requirements, structure and method for solicitation and outreach, and evaluation criteria for the developer shortlist. The process memo identified data points and decision- making milestones to guide the Authority through a formal developer solicitation process. HR &A subsequently drafted an Invitation to Participate outlining several potential development scenarios for the Fairgrounds site. Following the release of the Invitation to Participate in November 2013, HR &A supported the Fair Authority in the developer selection process. In January 2014, the Authority Board identified a designated developer and authorized commencement of negotiations with the developer for a multi - phased development on a portion of the Fairgrounds. HR &A is currently supporting the Authority's negotiating committee. Retail Planning for the D Street Corridor in Boston HR &A is supporting the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) in its planning for the expansion of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC). MCCA is planning a significant expansion of the BCEC that will enhance its role as a local and regional economic engine. The expansion will include new hotels, convention and exhibit space, and retail space. HR &A was retained to develop a program for new retail and open space. This work is critical to developing a vision and sense of place for D Street, an underutilized corridor that connects the rapidly growing Innovation District to the traditional urban fabric of the South Boston neighborhood. HR &A first led the retail visioning portion of a charrette meant to elicit thoughts from local stakeholders on the future character of D Street. To inform this process, HR &A evaluated customer groups that would be served by new retail, the existing character of local retail, and other successful retail districts in Boston and in the vicinity of other convention centers. HR &A is currently creating a tenanting strategy designed to meet the vision articulated by the community for an authentic, destination retail experience. HR &A is researching potential tenants and programming opportunities and conducting outreach to selected potential tenants. HR &A will then recommend next steps for the MCCA in the recruitment of tenants, with the ultimate goal of creating a retail, restaurant, and entertainment mix that will activate the D Street corridor and appeal to the area's diverse customer base of residents, workers, and conventioneers. Portland Downtown Retail Strategy An HR &A Partner was part of a multi - disciplinary team of consultants analyzing the retail offerings in downtown Portland, Oregon, on behalf of the Portland Business Alliance (then known as the Alliance for Portland Progress) and the Portland Development Commission.2 The team was charged with identifying existing and new elements that would support downtown Portland's role as a regional retail center, 2 This work was completed by an HR &A Partner while with Economics Research Associates (ERA). HR &A Advisors, Inc. I r' HR &A Advisors, Inc. . establish new opportunities for future retail growth and integrate retail into the overall Downtown Development Strategy. Working with local urban designers Crandall - Arambula, consultant Stan Eichelbaum and other specialists, the team projected incremental retail growth through new housing, office and hotel developments, and identified merchandising and urban design recommendations for downtown subareas based on markets, existing amenities (Universities, office /government clusters, cultural facilities, the Willamette Riverfront, and transportation corridors), and future growth potentials by land use. A key part of the downtown retail strategy focused on retention of two remaining department stores (Meier & Frank and Nordstrom's) as well as sustaining the market base for Pioneer Place, a downtown mall anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue; all three face Pioneer Square, Portland's historic central public space. The strategy also addressed how to recruit and retain other national and local retail businesses throughout the downtown area. Research Triangle Park Economic and Planning Advisor For the Research Triangle Park (the first and most prestigious of its brand of science and technology research parks), worked with a multidisciplinary team to create a master plan for the next 50 years of the Park's growth, advising the team on economic and business planning. Managed an assessment of the local real estate market and the needs of the current and next generation of Park companies to recommend a set of improvements and changes to the Park. Evaluated the financial feasibility of physical and business planning alternatives generated by the team, and recommended a set of implementation and business strategies to help the Park continue to act as an engine of regional economic growth. Currently serves as an advisor to the Research Triangle Foundation as it works to implement the Plan. Worked to identify development partners for plan implementation, and to negotiate and structure associated agreements. Hines was recently designated as the lead development partner. Real Estate Guidance for Queens West The firm has provided a variety of services to the Queens West Development Corporation (QWDC), which oversees development of a 68 -acre underdeveloped parcel on the Queens side of the East River in New York City. At full build -out, some twenty years hence, the project will contain 6.4 million square feet of residential space, 2.4 million square feet of office /hotel space, 225,000 square feet of retail, and 115,000 square feet of public facilities. HR &A has evaluated proposals and plans for 6,000 units of housing and 3,000,000 square feet of office space submitted by private developers. The firm has also provided strategic and financial advice during negotiations with the project's private development partners. Fulton Center Retail Vision and Disposition Management HR &A is serving as strategic advisor to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the commercial development, operations, and management of the Fulton Street Transit Center, a $1A billion transit hub that will connect six subway stations in Lower Manhattan. The firm first worked with MTA Real Estate and MTA Capital Construction to develop a retail vision for the Transit Center, assess the likely costs of ongoing operations, and to determine the preferred public - private partnership model for the Center. This assignment included a re- characterization of certain public and private spaces designed for the facility to create the greatest flexibility for commercial uses and most vibrant public realm. It also included recommendations HR &A QUALIFICATIONS on the use of an extensive digital media platform to both generate revenue for the facility and create a dynamic user experience. HR &A continued to work with the MTA to manage the development of a Request for Proposals for the Master Lease of a significant portion of this most prominent gateway to Lower Manhattan. The firm managed a team that included MTA representatives from multiple departments, as well as Fulton Center engineers and technical advisers, to develop a Concept of Operations for the public - private components of the facility, draft Design Guidelines for the Master Lease, and develop a set of compelling drawings to communicate the vision and opportunities to prospective Master Lease bidders. The firm also drafted the Request for Proposals document itself. HR &A is currently working with the MTA to manage the solicitation process, including marketing the Request for Proposals, engaging developers, structuring the pre - proposal conference and site tours, and answering prospective Master Lessee's questions. HR &A is actively supporting the MTA through the proposal review and selection process, as well as negotiations with preferred bidders. The Fulton Center is scheduled to open to the public in June 2014. Development Advisors for Major League Soccer in New York City In late 2011, Major League Soccer (MLS) retained HR &A as development advisor to lead its efforts to develop a new professional soccer stadium in New York City. With a goal of bringing a new 20th team to the league, HR &A established key parameters for site selection and established a shortlist of potential sites; led a team of sub - consultants - architectural, infrastructure, transportation, construction, land use counsel, and government affairs firms - through a comprehensive evaluation process; and narrowed the search to a priority site for further study and planning. HR &A then oversaw the multidisciplinary team throughout a complex stadium design and site planning process; advised MLS in navigating the public review process, serving as lead liaison to City agencies and creating a replacement parkland strategy to address parkland alienation; and managed a comprehensive public relations effort to build public and community support, including development of a significant set of open space improvements surrounding the site. In the spring of 2013, MLS came to an agreement with the Manchester City Football Club and the New York Yankees to establish MLS' 20th franchise, the New York City Football Club. The new franchise generated a record fee of $100 million, more than twice the highest MLS franchise fee to date. The new club will hold its inaugural season in 2016 at an existing sports venue, and HR &A continues to support the franchise in its plans to bring a new dedicated soccer stadium in New York City.

Center City Strategic Framework On behalf of Centro Partnership of San Antonio and the City of San Antonio, HR &A created a Strategic Framework Plan for the Center City to further the City's long term sustainable growth by investing in infrastructure, housing and amenities in key parts of the city identified as priority growth areas. In preparing the Strategic Framework Plan, HR &A led community workshop sessions for over 500 residents, conducted extensive stakeholder outreach, and worked closely with senior City staff, the Mayor and Council to prepare a plan to guide public and private efforts in the Center City for the next decade. HR &A assessed the Center City's challenges to achieving the goals set forth in the City's ambitious SA 2020 plan to increase housing and jobs and enhance quality of life. The Plan recommends a set of targeted and catalytic projects, interventions, and development products that can maximize the impact of limited resources on the redevelopment of Downtown and the Center City neighborhoods. The Strategic Framework Plan includes a range of market analysis and site - specific redevelopment planning efforts, including a retail market study and development strategy for Downtown. HR &A also serves as an on -call real estate advisor to the City of San Antonio and in that capacity has analyzed economic and market conditions related to a Downtown grocery store, various residential and mixed use projects, and the fixed rail and streetcar strategy. The Strategic Framework Plan will become the driving agenda for Centro Partnership, a civic and business leadership organization focused on downtown revitalization. It was presented to San Antonio City Council in December 2011, and was adopted by the Centro Partnership Board in February 2012. HR &A developed an implementation strategy for the Framework Plan for the City of San Antonio. HR &A evaluated the City's existing organizational and financial structures, and benchmarked that infrastructure against other cities. Based on these findings, HR &A crafted a strategy for implementation of the Strategic Framework that incorporates recommended incentive programs, funding sources, governance and project management structures, and regulatory tools and urban design guidelines to support the objectives identified in the Strategic Framework Plan. Redevelopment Planning for HemisFair Park HR &A served as financial and implementation advisor to HemisFair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation ( HPARC). Our role was initiated during master planning for the Hemisfair site led by Johnson Fain and has continued into the implementation phase. HR &A has generated a detailed analysis of the local real estate market, local and national demographics, and the physical assets of the Park and the surrounding areas. We also created a strategic and financial execution plan that details the range of preferred uses and their financial implications for both public and private investment, a phasing plan that begins to catalyze development of the Park and connections between the site and its surroundings, and a recommended implementation structure that HPARC and its partner city agencies can adopt to design, permit, project- manage, and finance the master plan. a HR &A QUALIFICATIONS Located in Downtown San Antonio, the park was the site of the 1968 World's Fair. It was the first designated World's Fair to be held in the Southwestern United States. The vision for the redevelopment plan is a combination of mixed -use development with an active gathering space for residents and visitors of San Antonio. Austin Colony Park On behalf of the City of Austin, Texas, HR &A is serving as the real estate and economic development advisor to a multi - disciplinary team jointly led by Urban Design Group and Farr Associates that is creating a transformative master plan for a vacant, 208 -acre city -owned parcel. The City, a recipient of a HUD Community Challenge Grant, envisions transforming the undeveloped site located in the Colony Park neighborhood into a vibrant, mixed -use neighborhood that offers attractive urban design, forward - looking sustainability measures, and a mix of housing typologies. As a first step, HR &A benchmarked development opportunities by researching case studies of developments in comparable markets. Additionally, HR &A analyzed existing market conditions and engaged local developers to identify market - feasible development opportunities. Currently, HR &A is working iteratively with the consultant team and City to translate these findings into three viable site concepts that meet the aspirations of the City and community for a transformational development plan which will guide the phased implementation of a shovel -ready development project in 2015. University of Texas at Austin Master Plan For the University of Texas at Austin, HR &A was engaged to prepare a financial analysis for the potential redevelopment in a UT -owned property in west central Austin. The UT Austin Graduate Housing Gateway Apartments is a 26 -acre site in the historic neighborhood of Clarksville, which the University has proposed to redevelop as a mixed -use property with market -rate residential, retail, and commercial office space. The University wishes to ground lease the site to a developer, creating real estate value for the developer and establishing a stream of revenue for the University. Using four development scenarios prepared by project planner TBG Partners, HR &A prepared a financial model to assess the total value of a ground lease on the site based on the total potential value of the redevelopment. HR &A's analysis resulted in a program recommendation to the University, which the University is now incorporating into its planning process for the site. Holly Shores /Festival Beach Master Plan On behalf of the City of Austin, HR &A is supporting the master planning process for nearly 100 acres of waterfront open space in East Austin following the decommissioning of the Holly Shores Power Plant at the site's core. HR &A is collaborating with Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates to develop a program that integrates the former Power Plant site into an improved park landscape that reflects community ambitions. HR &A will then conduct a high level funding analysis to provide a recommended approach to financing open space improvements. To support the plan's implementation, HR &A will draw on its funding recommendations, findings from stakeholder and community meetings, and comparative analysis of national best practices to identify a critical path for the park's management.

As part of a team with McCann - Adams Studio (formerly ROMA Austin), HR &A has contributed extensively to the Downtown Austin Plan (DAP) and participated in extensive public outreach and interaction with both public and private stakeholders. The Downtown Austin Plan was recently granted preliminary approval from Austin City Council. To support the Plan, the team crafted a strategy for successful implementation. The team, recognizing the importance of the public realm as an amenity to businesses and residents, has made parks central to the master plan concept. HR &A developed an implementation strategy for transforming Austin's downtown parks, including recommendations to maximize public revenues from concessions, events and fees, as well as to leverage supplemental funding and management resources through collaborations with public - private and non - profit entities such as a BID, redevelopment authority, and /or conservancy. Finally, HR &A worked with the team and City to identify which priority projects are likely to have the greatest economic impact and generate momentum for future park renovations. Menil Collection Neighborhood Preservation and Development HR &A is assisting the Menil Collection, a modern and contemporary art museum in Central Houston, in executing a comprehensive neighborhood restoration and redevelopment strategy in keeping with its mission to provide a "neighborhood of art" on its 30 -acre campus. This strategy will include a series of significant investments in its campus including new museum buildings, public open space, significant new mixed -use development that embodies the Menil's artistic vision, and the restoration of its historic residential bungalows. HR &A first identified revenue needs based on financial and operational impacts of planned museum expansions, then prepared a real estate strategy for existing assets and future development that included recommended development sites, density, program, phasing, and transaction strategy. To implement this vision, HR &A is assisting the Menil Collection with developer solicitation and selection for new large -scale development on its campus. To restore the neighborhood fabric and aesthetic character of the Menil neighborhood, HR &A also developed a neighborhood business plan for property restoration and redevelopment, and is preparing an institutional strategy for implementation. San Antonio Center City Retail Strategy Building upon HR &A Advisors' strategic framework for downtown San Antonio, the firm conducted a downtown retail study on behalf of the City of San Antonio. HR &A's study provides a new vision and trajectory for retail growth in Center City, driven by high -level qualitative analysis and recommendations for the entire downtown area. HR &A developed a holistic strategic growth plan for a downtown district between Market Square and the San Antonio River that is primed for redevelopment and can leverage existing demand to catalyze greater retail activity in a broader area. To arrive at the retail tenanting recommendations for the district, HR &A conducted a demographic analysis, a retail market evaluation, and a retail spending gap analysis. Based on this analysis, as well as analysis of opportunities and constraints in Center City as a whole, HR &A presented recommendations to the City for retail tenanting, marketing and recruitment, physical interventions to support retail growth, and governance and financial mechanisms for implementation.

Union Depot had its grand re- opening in December 2012 and its strategic location on the banks of the Mississippi River in the distinctive Lowertown neighborhood of downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota positions it as a catalyst for economic development. This $238 million dollar project, funded in part by the American Recovery & Redevelopment Act of 2009, will connect Amtrak and regional and local bus services, serve as a terminus of the Central Corridor Light Rail, also currently under construction, and house a distinctive bicycle center. Several other regional transit lines are also currently in the planning stages to connect to the building. HR &A first led a multidisciplinary team to prepare an economic analysis and development strategy for The Union Depot in 2010. The firm managed the team to produce a market analysis for real estate development, recommended a preferred development program for the station that includes a distinctive retail destination and marketplace, event spaces, and public parking, established a transit - oriented development strategy for adjacent land, analyzed the economic benefits of project implementation, and recommended an implementation and stewardship structure for ongoing project success. HR &A then led the implementation of a procurement strategy for the activation and development of the building through public and private programming and retail leasing, and to advise on strategies for developing The Union Depot Bicycle Center and selecting a property manager for the complex. HR &A drafted the developer solicitation document that was released by RCRRA in December 2011 alongside a Request for Proposals for property management and bicycle center operations. Following a strong response from the private sector, HR &A supported RCRRA in selecting Jones Lang LaSalle as its asset manager, appointing them with the responsibility of activating and developing community and commercial components of the project, as well as providing property management services. The Union Depot had its grand re- opening in December 2012. Retail Redevelopment for Times Square j The Times Square Alliance (formerly the Times Square Business Improvement District) retained an HR &A Partner to develop a strategy to diversify the retail tenant mix in the Times Square area and formulate a marketing plan to attract them. 3 The study was prompted by requests from employees and residents in the area to broaden merchandise and restaurant offerings beyond the tourist - oriented stores that currently exist. The team developed in -depth demographic and psychographic profiles of area employees and residents, identifying their spending patterns and retail expenditure potential. In addition, the team created an implementation plan, outlining a marketing strategy that included public relations, retailer outreach, and outreach to area landlords and broker contacts. 3 This work was completed by an HR &A Partner while with Economics Research Associates (ERA). HR &A Advisors, Inc. I fde l I Lob ; \,,i - 14 • Capitol Riverfront District Planning On behalf of the District of Columbia's Office of City Planning, in partnership with city and federal agencies, HR &A guided six nationally renowned planning firms to create a revitalization plan for the neighborhoods and waterfront along a ten -mile- stretch of the Anacostia River. The resulting Anacostia Waterfront Initiative Framework Plan won an AIA Honor Award for Regional and Urban Design and has catalyzed billions of dollars in private investment to date. HR &A assisted the District of Columbia to implement the plan by guiding the redevelopment of the 55 -acre Southeast Federal Center, assessing the feasibility of numerous locations for a new major league baseball stadium, negotiating with selected developers for the Navy Yard, and creating an innovative public finance strategy to support both a new home for the Washington Nationals and affordable housing. Our work provided a development framework for a new 350 -acre neighborhood: the Capitol Riverfront, anchored by the relocation of the Nationals Ballpark and a new development at the Navy Yard. HR &A also prepared the development plan for the new development at the Navy Yard — "The Yards" and supported the District in negotiating a PILOT agreement for the US DOT building and in creating a new Tax Increment Finance District around the Ballpark. The Capitol Riverfront has seen more than $3 billion in private investment surrounding the Washington Navy Yard and new Nationals Ballpark. Redevelopment Planning for CityCenter DC On behalf of the Mayor of the District of Columbia, HR &A and Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM) guided the redevelopment of the former Washington Convention Center site, located in Washington's business district. The Team commenced this assignment by providing a preliminary redevelopment program and plan. Upon this plan's approval, HR &A advised a Mayoral Task Force on the unique opportunities of redeveloping this 10 -acre site. HR &A and SOM provided a refined development program aligned with the District's economic and policy goals, including transformation of downtown into a destination. The Team then prepared the District's RFQ/RFP process to designate a Master Developer. HR &A evaluated submissions and advised the District regarding each proposal's policy, economic, and urban design implications. Finally, HR &A led negotiations on behalf of the District that resulted in a Letter of Intent with the two finalists, and also guided the District during on its Master Developer designation. Construction on the site began in April 2011. The development, known as CityCenter DC, includes 111,000 for public use, 250,000 square feet of retail, 450,000 square feet of office, 680 residential units, and 1,700 parking spaces. Revitalizing Downtown Cincinnati HR &A, in partnership with Cooper, Robertson & Partners, developed a strategic investment plan for the City of Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Business Committee and Downtown Cincinnati, Inc., that addressed a number of downtown planning and development issues.

Summary Table Appl'<aton goondary THE CITY OF EL PASO RECENTLY ADOPTED THE SMART CODE, AS AN ALTERNATIVE ZONING instrument prioritizing urban form over land -use. This 38o -acre new project is the first major development to be entitled under this code. It is located on a heavily sloping site in the center of the City, bisected by Mesa Boulevard, a major arterial envisioned to have rapid -bus transit in the future. The project is designed as a transit - oriented development organized on a number of walkable pedestrian sheds with interconnected streets and open spaces carefully situated to preserve the existing arroyos on the site . The eastern side of Mesa is designed as a Town Center with 1,000,000 square feet of anchor and destination retail and commercial uses. The project is envisioned to have more than 4,000 residential units ranging from single- family cottages, townhouses, courtyard housing and stacked flats. The master plan process from beginning of work to entitlement was completed within six months.

The San Antonio River flows through the center of the planning area and connects to the historic Riverwalk to the south. The resulting master plan, adopted in 2009, includes a form - based code and a detailed implementation strategy, transforming this underperforming area into a series of downtown- adjacent walkable, mixed -use neighborhoods. The plan is based on the extension project of the historic Riverwalk and uses it to generate a new real estate dynamic in the center of San Antonio. Among the plan's key actions are the transformation of Broadway from a wide highway to a pedestrian- friendly street, including generous sidewalks and a new streetcar line; adoption of neighborhood preservation and infill strategies; creation of a vibrant new performing arts district; development of a major new plaza fronting the San Antonio Museum of Art; and the renewal of historic buildings. The project won the Congress of the New Urbanism's Charter Award.

Project Understanding PROJECT APPROACH HR &A believes that any successful planning effort has its foundation in a solid understanding of the market in which development will occur. To this end, HR &A will have primary responsibility for the analysis to be undertaken as a part of Phase I and will apply these principles in its guidance of the master planners, Moule & Polyzoides', efforts in Phase II. As the City of Grapevine sets the framework for the development of this 185 -acre site in the northeastern corner of the city's limits, it is facing a unique opportunity in its history. Substantially undeveloped, city - owned, removed from existing population centers, but still having strong highway access to Dallas -Fort Worth Airport and the region as a whole, this tract of land has few constraints on its potential. Due in part to the broadness of this potential, it is all the more critical that the City develop a defined vision for its future and concrete strategy for achieving that vision. The decisions regarding the development of this tract of land will play a critical role in defining the City's future. As expressed in the City's Request for Qualifications, entertainment, hospitality, and other tourism - oriented uses will constitute a major component of the development plan for this land. As such, HR &A has engaged Entertainment and Culture Advisors (ECA) to augment its expertise in these areas. ECA is an international leader in the development and economics of world -class entertainment destinations, with clients that include major theme parks; museums and cultural attractions; retail, dining, and entertainment districts; sports entertainment, and resorts and tourism development. Their experience will compliment HR &A's, which includes similar projects as well as more retail and entertainment projects that explicitly focus on their context within a surrounding community, and most importantly develop a framework that allows for a disposition strategy that can successfully engage with the best mix of tenants and developers to continue Grapevine's efforts of locating high quality development. A key to successful development is to understand, incorporate, and balance market support, revenue optimization, and regulatory and physical constraints. HR &A believes that it is critical to develop a program of uses that is based on realistic expectations of market conditions, appropriate use mix, project phasing, integration of the contextual design, as well as financial returns. Through a thorough analysis of market demand and development potential, the HR &A team will work with the City to ensure the creation of a Master Plan and development strategy that gives Grapevine the greatest opportunity to achieve its vision. HR &A understands that the ultimate goal of this exercise is to be able to realize the City's vision of attracting high quality, fiscally sustainable mixed use development that not only generates desirable economic returns on the property but also produces sustained tax revenues to the City over the long term. The HR &A team brings unparalleled experience in our market understanding of the unique product types under consideration and has a strong track record of project implementation. From large scale land disposition strategies such as the 5,000 acre Concord Naval Base Reuse project where HR &A is assisting the City of Concord in California through a master developer selection process to develop 2,500 acres as a mixed use 'new town', to intense urban mixed use projects like the $1.4 billion Fulton Street Transit hub in Manhattan, where HR &A assisted the New York City MTA to select a master lessee, Westfield, to operate the significant commercial component, we bring unique depth and breadth of experience to successfully deliver complex development projects. HR &A Advisors, Inc. I I':^ , Y cil, I '_os ;-ng_a'as I vvJ ,s'. Cv D 31 PROJECT APPROACH Market Opportunities Analysis HR &A and ECA will test a range of options for the 185 -acre site that may include stand -alone attractions, Family Entertainment Centers, or multiple urban attractions with a range of complimentary uses that leverage the City's current proximity to Dallas -Fort Worth Airport and existing attractions, such as the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center and the Grapevine Mills Mall. HR &A's analysis will include an assessment of the physical site, its market context, and the current and future demand and competition for a full range of uses (both related to entertainment /hospitality and to other forms of urban development) in order to determine the optimal uses for the site. The projected demand for these uses will be translated into real estate envelope and, based on the findings of the earlier analyses, conceptual recommendations will be made for the quantity and location of each development type. The results of these studies will form the basis of an overall economic strategy that will inform the Master Plan to be conducted in Phase ll. Concept Master Plan and Framework Through close collaboration with HR &A Advisors and with iterative reference to its market and disposition analysis, Moule & Polyzoides will propose a physical design vision for both the buildings and public space that will embody them. This work will consider economic, architectural, open space, landscape, transportation and infrastructure issues concurrently, and will resolve them into a firm Master Plan. Moule & Polyzoides will use the discovery/ workshop method of working to address complex planning and development challenges; the firm will lead ongoing design workshops that will direct the process through alternative use, density and form configurations, towards formulating a preferred development scenario. The intense participation and leadership of the stakeholder/ client team in these workshops is an essential ingredient to the successful completion of such a project. The discovery /workshop method is very effective, as it combines the power of integrated design with immediate client and stakeholder response. Moule & Polyzoides will produce final presentation materials in site plan, plan, section, electronic model and perspective, generally probing and describing the urban and architectural form of a Master Development Plan. The final copy of this Master Plan will be prepared in 11 x17 inch customary format and will cover topics customary for a Master Plan including a regulating plan, a thoroughfare and parking streetscape and landscape, and infrastructure schemes, an illustrated list of building type designs and precedent images, an illustrative plan and site capacity analysis, a massing model, and perspective drawings illustrating key conditions and issues within the project areas. Development and Disposition Strategy Through its relationship with Moule & Polyzoides, HR &A will maintain involvement through all stages of the planning process, which will allow for iterative analyses of financial feasibility and disposition strategies as the demand projects formulated in Phase I are translated into a potential development form in Phase II. We will look at values generated from alternative strategies (such as a Master developer approach or parcelized disposition), keeping in mind absorption, backbone infrastructure costs, and optimal phasing. Through this analysis, HR &A will help to craft a development and disposition strategy that includes the prioritization and phasing of sites for development or sale. Developer and Tenant Recruitment Support As the details of the economic strategy and Master Plan are determined, HR &A will work with ECA to formulate a developer and tenant engagement strategy, which could include selecting a master developer through a request for proposals process or by identifying and targeting anchors. This strategy, which will include the recruitment of local, regional, and national firms, will be aided by HR &A's extensive experience in similar projects.
