Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Building Official, We are the structural engineers for the above -referenced historical, restoration project for the Omni/Midtown CRA. The original design set of drawings was completed in 2019. We understand that there have been permitting delays, but that the CRA wishes to proceed with the project. Therefore, I visited the building this afternoon with one of my associates. Unfortunately, we found that in the past approximately two years, the deterioration of the structural systems has progressed considerably. Greater areas of the roof have collapsed, the northern area of the second floor wall on the east side of the building has rotated inward a few to several inches (and therefore, has disconnected from the front (north) wall, leaving it more unstable), a spalling lintel has loose pieces of concrete that will fall to the sidewalk (and some pieces already have fallen), and at least one (likely two) interior concrete column has collapsed (leaving the reinforcing bars buckled, the second -floor beams lowered, and the column tilted). Please see attached representative photographs. In our opinion, the current condition is unsafe and unstable. Therefore, we recommend that an appropriate area around the building be immediately_ blocked off and secured from entry by all people and traffic. Feel free to call me to discuss the situation.

On September 13, 2016, the CRA approved and adopted Resolution No. CRA-R-16- 0042, adopting the City of Miami's procurement code as the process in which any and all services and goods are procured by the CRA. The Historic Citizens Bank Building was purchased by the CRA in 2017. The property is located at the corner of North Miami Avenue and 13th Street located within the Redevelopment District.

The 2019 Redevelopment Plan of the CRA highlights this property and the goal of the CRA in its historic preservation in Page 4-45. The CRA became aware through the architect that the fagade and interior structure of the Citizens Bank Building is deteriorating rapidly due to water intrusion and spalling. Since the building is both historically designated and is fronting on a public sidewalk, the architect recommended that the CRA immediately support and brace the Citizens Bank Building in order to preserve the historical facade while protecting the public from any danger of collapse as outlined in the attached documents.

The emergency nature of the rapid mobilization are necessitated by the health and safety of the public as well as the preservation of the historic fagade of the building. The Executive Director found that it was not practicable or advantageous to undergo the formal bidding for a licensed general contractor because the time duration involved in formal bidding would mean the Bank Building would present serious structural issues that pose a safety hazard to the general public and significant further deterioration. The Executive Director approved an emergency bid waiver to procure the services of Mass Construction Corporation ("Mass"), a licensed general contractor meeting all insurance requirements, which was familiar with the design of the Bank, to complete the services as recommended by the architect. RECOMMENDATION: In light of the above -mentioned background information, it is recommended that, in accordance with the CRA's identified objectives in the CRA's plan to reduce slum and blight and to preserve historic buildings, and in consideration of the CRA's Plan and current efforts to rehabilitate and activate this location, a bid waiver should be authorized for the Executive Director to negotiate and retroactively execute and ratify any and all agreements necessary for the purposes stated herein.

On September 13, 2016, the CRA approved and adopted Resolution No. CRA-R-16-0042, adopting the City of Miami's procurement ordinance as the process in which any and all services and goods are procured by the CRA. 14t" Street Developments LLC, a subsidiary of NR Investments, Inc., ("NR Investments"), submitted a grant proposal request to the CRA requesting the amount of $15,000,000.00 to underwrite a portion of the costs to develop a mixed -use project within the Omni CRA. NR Investments, a for profit entity, possesses a unique approach to this mixed -use development project consisting of ground floor retail and approximately 398 units of income -restricted housing. The principals of NR Investments have a history of successful development housing units in Miami -Dade County. This is a new way in which local government entities can collaborate and have a truly successful project that meets the needs of the community. JUSTIFICATION: Chapter 4 of the 2019 Amendment to the Omni CRA Redevelopment Plan reaffirms the importance of the development of affordable housing to the economic vitality of the CRA. With regard to projects assisted by the CRA (from which it accepts projects it seeks to support to provide workforce, low, or very -low income housing), it identifies among its community benefits priorities the "inclusion of an appropriate amount of below -market rate units," specifically workforce housing units (at less than 140% AMI) and units for low-income residents (less than 80% AMI). This project is consistent with Florida Statute 163, and also the goals and objectives Packet Pg. 39 2.5 of the 2019 Omni CRA Redevelopment Plan. The rates will remain in place until the anticipated extension of life of the Omni CRA to 2047. On page 4-32 of the amended Redevelopment Plan, the CRA has noted that housing affordability is one of the key programs for the CRA to undertake. A thriving community is one where residents in all phases of life with varying types of employment can live in one area. To that end, the CRA outlined the following programmatic methods it can employ to increase the supply of affordable housing: To Assist For -Profit Housing Providers in the CRA could: 2) Pay some portion of development costs such as impact or permit fees 3) Provide a direct cash subsidy in the form of a rebate equal to a percentage of the increases in taxes paid over a defined period of time after completion if affordable units are provided In addition to the above programmatic methods to expand the supply of affordable housing, the CRA has identified the following goal on page 5-56 of the Redevelopment Plan: 6) Housing Affordability - The CRA should fund established and creative new ways to increase the stock of workforce and lower income affordable housing within the district. GOALS: a) Create project -specific developer incentives to ensure that new or significantly redeveloped residential projects in the CRA contain a sufficient number of units that are affordable to the target populations. The 14th Street Development LLC proposal submitted will develop the group of properties with the following addresses at 1441, 1445 & 1455 N. Miami Avenue, 25 & 31 N.E. 14th Street, and 1412, 1418, 1428 & 1432 N.E. Miami Court, Miami, Florida within the Omni CRA and now requests grant and TIF funding to underwrite a portion of the costs. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners of the Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency ("Omni CRA") approve and adopt the attached Resolution, authorizing the execution of a Grant agreement for an amount not to exceed $15,000,000.00 with 14th Street Development LLC, a subsidiary of NR Investments, Inc., ("Developer") for the development of this mixed -use development project consisting of ground floor retail and approximately 398 units of income -restricted housing. FUNDING: Subject to the availability of funds and subject to the Omni CRA being able to successfully secure funding for the project.

But the expansion experienced in the last and current real estate cycles is misleading as the City faces one of the nation's most severe crisis of housing unaffordability stemming from the dual problem of high housing costs and comparably low wages. Today, Greater Miami's housing stock suffers from a significant supply mismatch. The local market has a glut of expensive housing and not nearly enough affordable housing. While we have seen the construction of expensive condos to the point of over -supply, not nearly enough affordable and workforce housing has been built to meet market's demand. While thousands of new housing units have been developed within the City, including thousands within the CRA alone, most of the units built are market -rate or high -end luxury units. The COVED-19 pandemic as well as the expected economic recovery that will follow successful vaccination campaigns, combined with current trends towards increased remote work, threatens to exacerbate the City's housing unaffordability issues, as growing numbers of high -income workers and wealthy out-of-state residents relocate to Miami in search of its unique urban amenities and "destination city" status. The prospect of companies moving to Miami or opening offices in the City, in an effort to lure skilled workers and/or take advantage of state and local tax and regulatory advantages, while a very welcoming development, could certainly compound existing problems around scarcity and unaffordability in housing. Today, the Miami -Fort Lauderdale metro is already one of the least affordable large metro areas in the country, measured in terms of median -wage work hours needed to pay average monthly rent: at 87.1 hours, it ranks higher than San Francisco -Oakland (73.4 hours), Austin -Round Rock (70.4), New York - Newark (69.4 hours) and Boston -Cambridge (67.0 hours), among others. The combination of relatively high average rents with relatively low median wages is, in a nutshell, the central dynamic of the City's unaffordability crisis. According to the Affordable Housing Blueprint: Needs Assessment crafted by the Jorge M. Perez Metropolitan Center at Florida International University (FlU), "the most serious problem in Miami -Dade County is the estimated 251,732 renter households who are cost -burdened and the 140,062 renter households who are `severely' cost -burdened. The significant growth of severely cost -burdened renters is the most pressing problem due to three market conditions: 1) the increasing demand for renter housing throughout the County resulting in low vacancy rates and spiraling increases in rent prices, 2) the lack of affordable rental housing production, and 3) rent prices are increasing much faster than wages." Furthermore, "[... ] the vast preponderance of County workers earn wages in service sector occupations, including retail trade, leisure and hospitality, and educational and health services. The household incomes of these service sector workers limit housing choices to affordable rental housing opportunities, where available." The problem is compounded, moreover, by the fact that, historically, the City's economy "[... ] has shown it can shed higher wage jobs very quickly but has shown resistance to adding new high -skill, higher -paying jobs." Currently, already six in 10 employed adult residents of Greater Miami are housing cost -burdened, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their incomes on housing — the highest rate of any large metropolitan area in the nation. Racial and ethnic minorities, as well as our community's low-income service workers, shoulder a disproportionate share of the burden of today's housing crisis. The following facts provide chilling insight into the scope and impact of the current crisis: 7a 0 a 0 a W a� L z M t0 0 a� E U nz Q Packet Pg. 43 2.5.a N R . 14th Street Apartments Project ■ About 49% of Miami -Dade County's households are renters. Between 2012 and 2017, the County has seen its proportion of renter households grow by 11.4%, or nearly 2"/o annually. Miami, in particular, has become a city of renters: the City's homeownership rate, at 30%, is the lowest among large cities in the U.S. ■ Miami's renter population is disproportionately African American and Hispanic with 55% of black households and 48% of Hispanic households renting, compared with just over 25% of white households. ■ Greater Miami's median rents are increasingly unaffordable. As of October 2018, the median rent for Greater Miami was $2,095 — the eighth highest in the nation behind communities like Denver, Portland, Dallas and Austin. Said median rent requires an annual household income of not less than $83,800 for such rent to be "affordable" or for the household not to be "cost -burdened." ■ Miami's low-income service class — workers in low -skill jobs like retail, hospitality, food service and home care which make-up more than 50 percent of the region's workforce — is severely cost -burdened. Miami's service class faces the greatest rental cost burdens among all classes with just under $11,000 in annual income left -over after paying rent — the 5" worst rate among large metropolitan areas in the nation. ■ At the same time, an estimated 45% of the jobs created in the City from now through 2024 will be in occupations with a median annual income less than $35,000 per year: meanwhile, more than 9 out of 10 90.9% of renters in Greater Miami earning less $35,000 annually are cost -burdened. ■ Miami, in particular, has the highest proportion of cost -burdened renters in the nation by a significant margin. More than half of renters 6( 2.4%1 spend 35 percent or more of their household income on rent. Moreover, 32% of all renter households are "severely" cost -burdened — paying an excess of 50 percent of their incomes on housing costs. Greater Miami's renters have the least amount of money left over after paying for housing of any large metro: Miami's renters have, on average, less than $16,000 left over after paying their rent, far less than the $30,000 or so in take-home income that renters in Washington, D.C. and Boston have left over after paying for their housing. Crucially, though, despite the bleak picture, Miami has a lot of gains to reap by increasing the stock of affordable housing, gains that are broader than strictly dealing with housing scarcity and unaffordability. As stated in FlU's Miami Affordable Housing Master Plan, "affordable housing has broad -based economic growth impacts. As families keep more of their income, they drive greater local spending which in turn stimulates high -wage job creation, increased tax revenue, and lower public costs for health, human services and policing." Conversely, "keeping housing costs as a reasonable percentage of family income promotes higher educational attainment and improves family health outcomes, as families have more money to spend on education and health costs." It is clear that "improved affordability promotes inclusive economic growth". ■ "Housing affordability can be a potent tool for improving economic performance, driving employment growth, productivity, wages, business development, and retaining and attracting high -skilled, educated workers to the region." ■ "The cumulative economic impacts of greater, more widespread housing affordability would be a major boost to developing a more diversified, higher income City economy. " ■ "Affordable housing is [...j critical to Miami -Dade County's economic resilience [...j" CE 0 0 a 0 a a� L co Z M t0 0 a� E U Q Packet Pg. 44 14th Street Apartments Project CONSISTENCY WITH CRA REDEVELOPMENT PLAN Chapter 4 of the CRA proposed amendment to the Redevelopment Plan (2019) reaffirms the importance of the development of affordable housing to the economic vitality of the CRA.

On page 4-32 of the amended Redevelopment Plan, the CRA has noted that housing affordability is one of the key programs for the CRA to undertake. A thriving community is one where residents in all phases of life with varying types of employment can live in one area. To that end, the CRA outlined the following programmatic methods it can employ to increase the supply of affordable housing: To Assist For -Profit Housing Providers in the CRA could: 2) Pay some portion of development costs such as impact or permit fees 3) Provide a direct cash subsidy in the form of a rebate equal to a percentage of the c increases in taxes paid over a defined period of time after completion if affordable units are provided. a In addition to the above programmatic methods to expand the supply of affordable housing, the CRA has identified 0 L the following goal on page 5-56 of the Redevelopment Plan: (L a� a� 6) Housing Affordability — The CRA should fund established and creative new ways to increase the stock of workforce and lower income affordable housing within the district. co GOALS: z a) Create project -specific developer incentives to ensure that new or significantly M redeveloped residential projects in the CRA contain a sufficient number of units that are c affordable to the targetpopulations. The Project and accompanying request seek financial support from the CRA to underwrite the development of E residential units, specifically for low-income and workforce households, and asks the CRA to provide the Applicant M with a project -specific incentive. M NRINVESTMENTS. COM Q Packet Pg. 45 2.5.a N R 10 Street Apartments Project PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Developer proposes to enter into a public -private partnership with the CRA to advance the CRA's goal of developing much needed affordable and workforce housing units within the redevelopment area. Applicant proposes to construct a 35-story tower on land it purchased over the course of the last four years which will consist of a mixed -use project comprised of the following elements: (i) 398 multi -family residential units; and (ii) approximately 9,000 sq. ft. of ground floor commercial use (the "Project'). Applicant proposes to assist the CRA in advancing its Redevelopment Plan goal by restricting rents for ALL of the 398 residential units within the Project through the life of the CRA as outlined herein below. The rent restrictions proposed will ensure that the Developer make residential units available to low-income households and households who can afford "workforce" rents, more specifically teachers, police officers, firefighters, nurses, first responders, and recent college graduates, among other professions. The Project represents the Developer's latest investment in the Omni "Arts + Entertainment District" — a dynamic urban residential neighborhood connecting the CRA & Downtown Miami with the Wynwood Arts District and the Design District. With the surrounding expansion, the Arts + Entertainment District has seen growth in its residential, culinary, entertainment and nightlife offerings, but substantial land remains undeveloped and a number of buildings remain dilapidated within the district evidencing the continued "slum & blight conditions" within the CRA. Applicant's CANVAS project, an art -inspired condominium offering a "bohemian luxe" lifestyle immersed in the local art, culinary & cultural scene, has served to anchor the district's ascendant trajectory. Beyond its project investments within the redevelopment area, NR Investments, Inc., has invested approximately $2 million in efforts to beautify the Arts & Entertainment District, attract new businesses and retailers to the area, and deliver high -quality arts, music and community programming, including "The Miami Flea," a pop- up market, and a "Moonlight Grooves," a music series held on CANVAS's backyard, among others. Given the Project's location just north of Downtown Miami, it is conveniently accessible via multiple modes of transit, including: (i) the MetroMover via the "School Board Station" on N.E. 151 Street; (ii) the City's free trolley system; and (iii) Virgin Trains' service at Grand Central Station. The inclusion of the proposed affordable and workforce dwelling units in the Project will provide residents convenient access to employment opportunities via mass transit servicing greater Downtown Miami area and portions of the South Florida region via inter -city passenger rail service.

NRINVESTMENTS.COM CE 0 0 a 0 a a� a� L co Z M t0 O a� E U Q 4 Packet Pg. 46 2.5.a 14th Street Apartments Project REQUESTED PROJECT SUPPORT Applicant's request assumes the approval of an extension of the term of the CRA through 2047 and obligations of the Applicant and CRA pursuant to an Incentive Agreement would be conditioned upon the passage of such an extension. With the clarification, Applicant proposes the following development restrictions and makes the following request of the CRA to assist the Project: Proposed Residential Restrictions: Applicant proposes to rent -restrict 398 residential dwelling units — 27 studio dwelling units, 300 one -bedroom dwelling units and 71 two -bedroom dwelling units — as set forth in the "Project Information Sheet" attached hereto as Exhibit "R." Said rent -restrictions will be remain in place from the date the Residential portion of the Project is placed in-service (as evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy for a residential dwelling unit) through the date of the CRA's expiration (2047). The Applicant will be permitted to adjust the maximum rent per unit for each unit type consistent with the rate schedule adopted by the Corporation for "Multifamily Rental Programs" for Miami -Dade County. The Developer will impose a Covenant setting forth the rent restrictions and the minimum number of rent -restricted units by type. The Covenant shall grant the enforcement rights to the CRA through the term of its existence. Requested Financial Support: Applicant requests partial loss reimbursement of $15.0 million, along with a rebate of 95% of the TIF collected by the Omni CRA from the Project. Developer anticipates that the rebated tax increment generated by the Project will amount to approximately $13.6 million in gross receipts, or approximately $8_7 million in present value. The partial loss reimbursement and TIF receipts will be used to offset the estimated $38.0 million in gross economic loss (in the 2047 scenario). Moreover, the project foresees around $4_3 million in estimated permit fees, water & sewer connection charges, and impact fees to be assessed at the initiation of the Project. See Exhibit "C" attached hereto. Construction costs have increased significantly in the last year, reflecting higher costs of materials and labor alike. The sharp post COVID-19 economic rebound, coupled with unprecedented public sector relief and stimulus outlays, are expected to create supply-side and labor bottlenecks, which threaten to exacerbate and prolong upward price pressures. The requested financial support will significantly help to offset these factors. ii. The value of the requested financial support —partial loss reimbursement of $15.0 million and TIF rebate in the amount of $8_7 million in present value— is still substantially lower than the value of the losses generated by the rent and use restrictions detailed above: $38.0 million. This is without including the project's approximately $4_3 million in estimated permit and impact fees. iii. The calculation of rent and use losses assumes that market rent prices will grow at a conservative rate of 3.00% per year. That being said, the specific area where the project is located is undergoing —and has, in fact, been experiencing for years— rapid growth and redevelopment, in the larger context of a City which expects to continue expanding its population and urban core. Therefore, it is not at all unreasonable to anticipate that market rates will increase at a much higher pace, which would, in turn, cause an even greater loss in rents due to the restrictions in place. In other words, the project's financial projections may very well be underestimating the losses generated by the rent restrictions. iv. The future resale/refinance value of the building, which is calculated on a cash flow basis, is also substantially diminished by the rent restrictions, by as much as $46,314.638, based on a standard market cap of 5.00%.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners of the Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency ("Omni CRA") approve and adopt the attached Resolution, authorizing the execution of an economic incentive agreement with 14th Street Development LLC, a subsidiary of NR Investments, Inc., ("Developer") for Packet Pg. 57 2.6 the development of this mixed -use development project consisting of ground floor retail and approximately 398 units of income -restricted housing. JUSTIFICATION: Chapter 4 of the 2019 Amendment to the Omni CRA Redevelopment Plan reaffirms the importance of the development of affordable housing to the economic vitality of the CRA. With regard to projects assisted by the CRA (from which it accepts projects it seeks to support to provide workforce, low, or very -low income housing), it identifies among its community benefits priorities the "inclusion of an appropriate amount of below -market rate units," specifically workforce housing units (at less than 140% AMI) and units for low-income residents (less than 80% AMI). This project is consistent with Florida Statute 163, and also the goals and objectives of the 2019 Omni CRA Redevelopment Plan. The rates will remain in place until the anticipated extension of life of the Omni CRA to 2047. On page 4-32 of the amended Redevelopment Plan, the CRA has noted that housing affordability is one of the key programs for the CRA to undertake. A thriving community is one where residents in all phases of life with varying types of employment can live in one area. To that end, the CRA outlined the following programmatic methods it can employ to increase the supply of affordable housing: To Assist For -Profit Housing Providers in the CRA could: 2) Pay some portion of development costs such as impact or permit fees 3) Provide a direct cash subsidy in the form of a rebate equal to a percentage of the increases in taxes paid over a defined period of time after completion if affordable units are provided In addition to the above programmatic methods to expand the supply of affordable housing, the CRA has identified the following goal on page 5-56 of the Redevelopment Plan: 6) Housing Affordability - The CRA should fund established and creative new ways to increase the stock of workforce and lower income affordable housing within the district. GOALS: a) Create project -specific developer incentives to ensure that new or significantly redeveloped residential projects in the CRA contain a sufficient number of units that are affordable to the target populations. The Project and accompanying request seek financial support from the CRA to underwrite the development of residential units, specifically for low-income and workforce households, and asks the CRA to provide the Applicant with a project -specific incentive.

But the expansion experienced in the last and current real estate cycles is misleading as the City faces one of the nation's most severe crisis of housing unaffordability stemming from the dual problem of high housing costs and comparably low wages. Today, Greater Miami's housing stock suffers from a significant supply mismatch. The local market has a glut of expensive housing and not nearly enough affordable housing. While we have seen the construction of expensive condos to the point of over -supply, not nearly enough affordable and workforce housing has been built to meet market's demand. While thousands of new housing units have been developed within the City, including thousands within the CRA alone, most of the units built are market -rate or high -end luxury units. The COVED-19 pandemic as well as the expected economic recovery that will follow successful vaccination campaigns, combined with current trends towards increased remote work, threatens to exacerbate the City's housing unaffordability issues, as growing numbers of high -income workers and wealthy out-of-state residents relocate to Miami in search of its unique urban amenities and "destination city" status. The prospect of companies moving to Miami or opening offices in the City, in an effort to lure skilled workers and/or take advantage of state and local tax and regulatory advantages, while a very welcoming development, could certainly compound existing problems around scarcity and unaffordability in housing. Today, the Miami -Fort Lauderdale metro is already one of the least affordable large metro areas in the country, measured in terms of median -wage work hours needed to pay average monthly rent: at 87.1 hours, it ranks higher than San Francisco -Oakland (73.4 hours), Austin -Round Rock (70.4), New York - Newark (69.4 hours) and Boston -Cambridge (67.0 hours), among others. The combination of relatively high average rents with relatively low median wages is, in a nutshell, the central dynamic of the City's unaffordability crisis. According to the Affordable Housing Blueprint: Needs Assessment crafted by the Jorge M. Perez Metropolitan Center at Florida International University (FlU), "the most serious problem in Miami -Dade County is the estimated 251,732 renter households who are cost -burdened and the 140,062 renter households who are `severely' cost -burdened. The significant growth of severely cost -burdened renters is the most pressing problem due to three market conditions: 1) the increasing demand for renter housing throughout the County resulting in low vacancy rates and spiraling increases in rent prices, 2) the lack of affordable rental housing production, and 3) rent prices are increasing much faster than wages." Furthermore, "[... ] the vast preponderance of County workers earn wages in service sector occupations, including retail trade, leisure and hospitality, and educational and health services. The household incomes of these service sector workers limit housing choices to affordable rental housing opportunities, where available." The problem is compounded, moreover, by the fact that, historically, the City's economy "[... ] has shown it can shed higher wage jobs very quickly but has shown resistance to adding new high -skill, higher -paying jobs." Currently, already six in 10 employed adult residents of Greater Miami are housing cost -burdened, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their incomes on housing — the highest rate of any large metropolitan area in the nation. Racial and ethnic minorities, as well as our community's low-income service workers, shoulder a disproportionate share of the burden of today's housing crisis. The following facts provide chilling insight into the scope and impact of the current crisis: iz i= a� E U ca Q Packet Pg. 61 2.6.a N R . 14th Street Apartments Project ■ About 49% of Miami -Dade County's households are renters. Between 2012 and 2017, the County has seen its proportion of renter households grow by 11.4%, or nearly 2% annually. Miami, in particular, has become a city of renters: the City's homeownership rate, at 30%, is the lowest among large cities in the U.S. ■ Miami's renter population is disproportionately African American and Hispanic with 55% of black households and 48% of Hispanic households renting, compared with just over 25% of white households. ■ Greater Miami's median rents are increasingly unaffordable. As of October 2018, the median rent for Greater Miami was $2,095 — the eighth highest in the nation behind communities like Denver, Portland, Dallas and Austin. Said median rent requires an annual household income of not less than $83,800 for such rent to be "affordable" or for the household not to be "cost -burdened." ■ Miami's low-income service class — workers in low -skill jobs like retail, hospitality, food service and home care which make-up more than 50 percent of the region's workforce — is severely cost -burdened. Miami's service class faces the greatest rental cost burdens among all classes with just under $11,000 in annual income left -over after paying rent — the 5" worst rate among large metropolitan areas in the nation. ■ At the same time, an estimated 45% of the jobs created in the City from now through 2024 will be in occupations with a median annual income less than $35,000 per year: meanwhile, more than 9 out of 10 90.9% of renters in Greater Miami earning less $35,000 annually are cost -burdened. ■ Miami, in particular, has the highest proportion of cost -burdened renters in the nation by a significant margin. More than half of renters 6( 2.4%1 spend 35 percent or more of their household income on rent. Moreover, 32% of all renter households are "severely" cost -burdened — paying an excess of 50 percent of their incomes on housing costs. Greater Miami's renters have the least amount of money left over after paying for housing of any large metro: Miami's renters have, on average, less than $16,000 left over after paying their rent, far less than the $30,000 or so in take-home income that renters in Washington, D.C. and Boston have left over after paying for their housing. Crucially, though, despite the bleak picture, Miami has a lot of gains to reap by increasing the stock of affordable housing, gains that are broader than strictly dealing with housing scarcity and unaffordability. As stated in FlU's Miami Affordable Housing Master Plan, "affordable housing has broad -based economic growth impacts. As families keep more of their income, they drive greater local spending which in turn stimulates high -wage job creation, increased tax revenue, and lower public costs for health, human services and policing." Conversely, "keeping housing costs as a reasonable percentage of family income promotes higher educational attainment and improves family health outcomes, as families have more money to spend on education and health costs." It is clear that "improved affordability promotes inclusive economic growth". ■ "Housing affordability can be a potent tool for improving economic performance, driving employment growth, productivity, wages, business development, and retaining and attracting high -skilled, educated workers to the region." ■ "The cumulative economic impacts of greater, more widespread housing affordability would be a major boost to developing a more diversified, higher income City economy. " ■ "Affordable housing is [...j critical to Miami -Dade County's economic resilience [...j" iz i= Q Packet Pg. 62 14th Street Apartments Project CONSISTENCY WITH CRA REDEVELOPMENT PLAN Chapter 4 of the CRA proposed amendment to the Redevelopment Plan (2019) reaffirms the importance of the development of affordable housing to the economic vitality of the CRA. With regard to projects assisted by the CRA (from which it accepts projects it seeks to support to provide workforce, low, or very -low income housing), it identifies among its community benefits priorities the "inclusion of an appropriate amount of below -market rate units," specifically workforce housing units (at less than 140% AMI) and units for low-income residents (less than 80% AMl). Among the policy reasons articulated for such community benefits requirement are: (i) preservation of LL the affordability of the neighborhood; (ii) prevention of existing resident displacement; and (iii) provide area workers an opportunity to live near work. L co On page 4-32 of the amended Redevelopment Plan, the CRA has noted that housing affordability is one of the key programs for the CRA to undertake. A thriving community is one where residents in all phases of life with varying types of employment can live in one area. To that end, the CRA outlined the following programmatic methods it can employ to increase the supply of affordable housing: Z M To Assist For -Profit Housing Providers in the CRA could: (D 0 2) Pay some portion of development costs such as impact or permit fees 3) Provide a direct cash subsidy in the form of a rebate equal to a percentage of the increases in taxes paid over a defined period of time after completion if affordable units are provided.

NRINVESTMENTS. COM Packet Pg. 63 2.6.a N R 10 Street Apartments Project PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Developer proposes to enter into a public -private partnership with the CRA to advance the CRA's goal of developing much needed affordable and workforce housing units within the redevelopment area. Applicant proposes to construct a 35-story tower on land it purchased over the course of the last four years which will consist of a mixed -use project comprised of the following elements: (i) 398 multi -family residential units; and (ii) approximately 9,000 sq. ft. of ground floor commercial use (the "Project'). Applicant proposes to assist the CRA in advancing its Redevelopment Plan goal by restricting rents for ALL of the 398 residential units within the Project through the life of the CRA as outlined herein below. The rent restrictions proposed will ensure that the Developer make residential units available to low-income households and households who can afford "workforce" rents, more specifically teachers, police officers, firefighters, nurses, first responders, and recent college graduates, among other professions. The Project represents the Developer's latest investment in the Omni "Arts + Entertainment District" — a dynamic urban residential neighborhood connecting the CRA & Downtown Miami with the Wynwood Arts District and the Design District. With the surrounding expansion, the Arts + Entertainment District has seen growth in its residential, culinary, entertainment and nightlife offerings, but substantial land remains undeveloped and a number of buildings remain dilapidated within the district evidencing the continued "slum & blight conditions" within the CRA. Applicant's CANVAS project, an art -inspired condominium offering a "bohemian luxe" lifestyle immersed in the local art, culinary & cultural scene, has served to anchor the district's ascendant trajectory. Beyond its project investments within the redevelopment area, NR Investments, Inc., has invested approximately $2 million in efforts to beautify the Arts & Entertainment District, attract new businesses and retailers to the area, and deliver high -quality arts, music and community programming, including "The Miami Flea," a pop- up market, and a "Moonlight Grooves," a music series held on CANVAS's backyard, among others. Given the Project's location just north of Downtown Miami, it is conveniently accessible via multiple modes of transit, including: (i) the MetroMover via the "School Board Station" on N.E. 151 Street; (ii) the City's free trolley system; and (iii) Virgin Trains' service at Grand Central Station. The inclusion of the proposed affordable and workforce dwelling units in the Project will provide residents convenient access to employment opportunities via mass transit servicing greater Downtown Miami area and portions of the South Florida region via inter -city passenger rail service. Illustrative Project rendering enclosed as Exhibit "A". NRINVESTMENTS.COM U_ H a� E U �a Q 4 Packet Pg. 64 2.6.a 14th Street Apartments Project REQUESTED PROJECT SUPPORT Applicant's request assumes the approval of an extension of the term of the CRA through 2047 and obligations of the Applicant and CRA pursuant to an Incentive Agreement would be conditioned upon the passage of such an extension. With the clarification, Applicant proposes the following development restrictions and makes the following request of the CRA to assist the Project: Proposed Residential Restrictions: Applicant proposes to rent -restrict 398 residential dwelling units — 27 studio dwelling units, 300 one -bedroom dwelling units and 71 two -bedroom dwelling units — as set forth in the "Project Information Sheet" attached hereto as Exhibit "R." Said rent -restrictions will be remain in place from the date the Residential portion of the Project is placed in-service (as evidenced by the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy for a residential dwelling unit) through the date of the CRA's expiration (2047). The Applicant will be permitted to adjust the maximum rent per unit for each unit type consistent with the rate schedule adopted by the Corporation for "Multifamily Rental Programs" for Miami -Dade County. The Developer will impose a Covenant setting forth the rent restrictions and the minimum number of rent -restricted units by type. The Covenant shall grant the enforcement rights to the CRA through the term of its existence. Requested Financial Support: Applicant requests partial loss reimbursement of $15.0 million, along with a rebate of 95% of the TIF collected by the Omni CRA from the Project. Developer anticipates that the rebated tax increment generated by the Project will amount to approximately $13.6 million in gross receipts, or approximately $8_7 million in present value. The partial loss reimbursement and TIF receipts will be used to offset the estimated $38.0 million in gross economic loss (in the 2047 scenario). Moreover, the project foresees around $4_3 million in estimated permit fees, water & sewer connection charges, and impact fees to be assessed at the initiation of the Project. See Exhibit "C" attached hereto. Construction costs have increased significantly in the last year, reflecting higher costs of materials and labor alike. The sharp post COVID-19 economic rebound, coupled with unprecedented public sector relief and stimulus outlays, are expected to create supply-side and labor bottlenecks, which threaten to exacerbate and prolong upward price pressures. The requested financial support will significantly help to offset these factors. ii. The value of the requested financial support —partial loss reimbursement of $15.0 million and TIF rebate in the amount of $8_7 million in present value— is still substantially lower than the value of the losses generated by the rent and use restrictions detailed above: $38.0 million. This is without including the project's approximately $4_3 million in estimated permit and impact fees. iii. The calculation of rent and use losses assumes that market rent prices will grow at a conservative rate of 3.00% per year. That being said, the specific area where the project is located is undergoing —and has, in fact, been experiencing for years— rapid growth and redevelopment, in the larger context of a City which expects to continue expanding its population and urban core. Therefore, it is not at all unreasonable to anticipate that market rates will increase at a much higher pace, which would, in turn, cause an even greater loss in rents due to the restrictions in place. In other words, the project's financial projections may very well be underestimating the losses generated by the rent restrictions. iv. The future resale/refinance value of the building, which is calculated on a cash flow basis, is also substantially diminished by the rent restrictions, by as much as $46,314.638, based on a standard market cap of 5.00%. NRINVESTMENTS.COM H a� E U �a Q Packet Pg. 65 2.6.a 14th Street Apartments Project In sum, applicant deems that the project's present value losses and increased construction costs easily exceed the support sought, with even conservative estimates of market rents growth during the period.
