Gentlemen:
This letter will record our mutual understanding following receipt by me on
October 22, 1979, of an offer to sell your properties, known as Parcels A &
B, located at 126 S. E. Second Street and 134 S. E. Second Street, based on
the terms detailed in your letter.
In discussing your offer with Mr. Mike Getelman, in representation of both
Butter and Getelman, we arrived at the following mutual interpretations of
your offer, which I am hereby recording for purposes of clarity:
1) The time within which the City has the option of accepting
your offer will run through November 12, 1979, with the
understanding that the 60 days limit on closing will start
to run from November 6, 1979.
2) It is understood that your offer to sell your land at your
stated price includes all improvements on that land without
any expectation of additional compensation for those improve-
ments.
3) Although the City would acquire all of the improvements on
the Getelman property, it is understood that Mike Getelman
has the prerogative of removing any portion of his improve-
ments without incurring any financial obligation to the City.
4) While it is understood that the City will acquire all title
and interest to the improvement on the Butler property, it
is mutually agreed that the structure has some historical in-
terest and that the City will make reasonable efforts to pre-
serve the original frame structure.
79-753
) It is understood that the City may take possession of
either.or both structures anytime after 90 days from the
date of closing, but that Getelman and Butler each have
the right to occupy the improvements rent free for a max-
imum of 180 days after the date of closing if the City`
does not indicate an urgent need for the property at any
time following the 90-day period but before the expiration
of 180 days.
If the above interpretations of your offer meet
sign a copy of this letter and return it to me,
In consideration of our option to exercise this
check in the amount of $100 for each addressee.

the sole beneficiary of the Land Trust in:whose name title
is held, and $722',5.00is attributed to Parcel B, of which
the Butler Family is the fee title holder.
As per our recent conversations and notwithstanding the fact
that both the Butlers and the undersigned had demanded a much
higher figure for the purchase of the two (2) respective
properties, in that neither party was desirous of selling
same, and further I -herewith reduce to writing and confirm the
figures discussed with you at our last meeting which had been
greatly reduced in an effort to amicably settle this matter

November 2, 1979
City of Miami/University, of Miami m
James L. Knight International
Center
Parking Garage Property. Acquisition
For the past year and a half, the City Administration has been attempting
to acquire the properties adjoining the:above captioned Center: through negotia
tion: Parcel A — 126 S.E. 2nd Street and Parcel B 134 S.E. 2nd Street.
These negotiations have been unsuccessful because Mr. Michael Getelman
(principal owner of Parcel A) and Mr. Raymond W. Butler, Jr. (owner of Parcel
B) both feel that their property is far more valuable than the value indicated
by the City's appraisers. In March and April of 1979, the City's appraisers
indicated a high value for Parcel A of $376,500 and a high value for Parcel B
of $346,500. The City appraisals did not contain or reflect any additional
costs for relocation, moving, legal expenses, appraisal costs, etc. A copy
of the appraisal made for Mr. Getelman (Parcel A) and Mr. Butler (Parcel B)
dated October 10, 1979 and prepared by John Milloway, M.A.I., indicates the
value for Parcel A as $837,500 and for Parcel B as $722,500 for a total combined
value of $1,560,000. Mr. Getelman, on behalf of himself and Mr. Butler,
have agreed to accept a total figure of $1,501,000 which figure includes
$100,000 for moving, relocation, legal and other miscellaneous expenses.
Based on the City's highest appraisal, the total value of land and
improvements is $723,000. If miscellaneous expenses are added using those
figures acceptable to, Mr. Getelman, an additional $100,000 would be added,
making the total. value $823,000, resulting in a difference of $678,000.
between the amount of the appraisals for the City, including miscellaneous
costs and the amount Mr. Getelman offered on behalf of both Parcel A and
Parcel B.
Although the City has filed a Quick Take procedure to obtain this property.
and there is no question that the City could pursue the acquisition of this
property through the Courts,there is a question as to how long acquisition
of the property will take. The main question would revolve around the City's
ability to conclusively prove the necessity and public purpose in the taking
of the property. Mr. Getelman and Mr. Butler have engaged two of the most
expensive and experienced condemnation attorneys in Florida to protect their
interests. These attorneys have filed motions in the condemnation proceeding
challenging the City's right to take and particularly denying the necessity
of taking for the purpose of the World Trade Center.
79-753
Joseph R. Grassie
City Manager
_2- November 2 1979
Our experience in acquiring land by condemnation through the courts does
not give any assurance that this method would convey clear title in a short
time, and in fact would likely take approximately one year. It is also a
fairly certain assumption that a jury would establish a value somewhere
between the City's appraisal and the Getelman-Butler offer. If we assume
that the jury -determined value would split the difference between the City's
appraisal and the owners' offer, we arrive at an amount of money approxi-
mating $340,000. The delay of a year in the acquisition of the property
would likely force the City to drop the World Trade Center projectbecause
of the necessity to proceed now with the development of the parking garage
to meet our contractual commitment of providing a garage for the City of
Miami/University of Miami James L. Knight International Center. To abandon
the World Trade Center project means an automatic loss of the Five Million
UDAG Grant as well as the annual loss of $700,000 in revenue which the City
expects to receive from the World Trade Center Tower and Parking Garage.
Your attention is directed to the protracted period of time before
acquisition of the property can be had and the likelihood that the settlement
cost, at this time, would be less than the entire cost, including legal fees,
before the condemnation proceedings are terminated. In view of the loss of
the UDAG Grant and the loss of anticipated annual revenues, as well as the
uncertainties of successful acquisition by condemnation, it is our recommenda-
tion that the amount of $1,501,000 be authorized as payment to the owners of
Parcel A and Parcel B for the acquisition of title through direct negotiation
using funds previously allocated from the City of Miami/University of Miami
James L. Knight International Center funds.
An accompanying Resolution has been prepared for your consideration.

Dear Mr. Stewart:
In accordance with request under date of March 23,
1979, from Mr. J. E. Gunderson, Director of Finance, I
have made a careful review of my appraisals of July 31,
1978 on the above Parcelsofproperty for the purposeof
updating the report.
An analysis of current sales has been made, as well
as a review of market conditions. Since my original report,
there have been sales south of Flagler Street in the low
$90.00 per square foot price. Market conditions have im-
proved as well as the attitude about Downtown Miami, especially
because of the continued progress in the Convention Center
development and the announcement of the proposed "Ball Point"
development.
In my opinion Parcel A, 126 S. E. Second Street, has a
Current Fair Market Value of $346,000.00, and Parcel B, 134
S. E. second Street, has a Current Fair Market Value of
$336,000.00. Certificates of Appraisal are attached hereto.
If you have any questions concerning these update valuations,
Please do not hesitate to call upon. me.
Respectfully yours

Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your request, I have made a personal inspection and
investigation of two parcels of real property located within the
downtown section of the City of Miami, Florida, which are more
particularly described elsewhere in this report, for the purpose
of reaching•a conclusion of its Fair Market Value while taking
into consideration the value of Parcel A to the adjoining owner
of the property along its west and south boundaries and the value
of Parcel B to the adjoining owner of the property along its south
boundary. By Fair Market Value is meant the amount of money which
a purchaser willing but not obliged to buy the property would pay
to an owner willing but not obliged to sell it.
By reason of my investigation, I have formed the opinion that the
FAIR MARKET. VALUE of the herein described property, as of October 1,
1979, was
ONE MILLION
FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($1,560,000)
Your attention is invited to the following pages of data which, in
part, form the basis of this conclusion.
I, the undersigned, do hereby certify to the best of my knowledge and
belief, that the statements of fact and data contained in this report
upon which the analyses, opinions and conclusions expressed herein
are based, are true and correct; also, this report sets forth all of
the limiting conditions affecting the analyses, opinions and con-
clusions contained in this report; also, this report has been made in

PURPOSE OF REPORT
The Purpose of this report is to estimate the Fair Market
Value of the fee simple title of the property described
herein as of October 1, 1979 while taking into'considera
tion the value of Parcel 4 to the adjoining owner of the
property. along its west and south boundaries and the value.
of Parcel B to the adjoining owner of the property along
its south boundary.
By Florida court definition, Fair Market Value means the
amount of money which a purchaser willing but not obliged
to buy the property would pay to an'owner willing but'not
obliged to sell it, taking into consideration"all uses to
which the property is adapted and might in reason be applied.
More simply stated, it is an estimate of the maximum selling
price the property would bring if actively and properly offered
for sale in the open market. In the process of preparing an
appraisal based on the Fair Market Value premise`, the appraiser
attempts to anticipate the reaction of the buying and selling
public when a specific property is considered.
The probable performance of human beings is not subject to
precise -prediction. Value predictions, therefore, of -the
experienced appraiser are, and can be,no more than skilled
estimates. It -has been aptly stated that in such estimating,
the appraiser forms an:opinion of the market's. opinion. The
appraiser,does not make value,. set value, or determine value.
He does not substitute his personal predictions as to the
possibility of a future occurrence for the -market's predic-
tions unless so requested and so defined.

rectangular in shape. Parcel A, the westerly one-half of -the p
is improved with a one-story CBS office building housing •a law firm..
Parcel B, the easterly one-half of the property, is improved with.an
old two-story frame residence which has been converted into offices
for an insurance company.
ZONING
The subject property is zoned C-3, Central Commercial District, by the.
City of Miami, Florida. According to the City of Miami Zoning Ordinance,
the purpose of the district is as follows:
The C-3, Central -Commercial District, is intended to apply to the
heart of the downtown business section of the city,, which serves
all portions of the city and the metropolitan area. The businesses
and services of the Central Commercial District include many of
those supplied in other types of commercial districts and in addi-
tion thereto many services and facilities not available elsewhere.
High land values, -:,limitations of space and public convenience jus-
tify a greater intensity of use than in other commercial districts.

S.E. Second Street approximately midway between S.E. First Avenue and
S.E. Second Avenue in the downtown business district o'f the City of

SURROUNDING AREA AND NEIGHBORHOOD TREND
The block in which the subject property is located is bounded on the
north by S.E. Second Street, on the west by. S.E. First Avenue, on the
east by S.E. Second Avenue and on the south by the entrance and exit
ramps of the Greater Miami Expressway System which connect to S.E.
Second Avenue. Adjoining. Parcel B to the east of the subject property
is located the Howard Johnson Motel, Parking Garage and Restaurant.
The remainder of the subject block is vacant as of the date of this
appraisal. To the north of the subject property on the north side of
N.E. Second Street is located a large open parking lot. :On the easter-
ly portion of this block there is located two high-rise office build-
ings. On the westerly portion of this block is located an old two-
story building dating back to the 1920's. South of the subject block
and also south of the:entrance and exit ramps of the Greater Miami
Expressway System, the land is vacant to the banks of the MiaMii River.
According to an article that appeared in the.Tuesday, May 22, 1979
Edition of the Miami Herald, Dade Federal Savings and Loan Association
announced that they would spend 35 to 40 million dollars to construct
a 50-story World Trade Center on the vacant portion of the subject
block which would also include both parcels of thesubjecti,property.
This proposed World Trade Center building would be constructed on
top of an 8-story parking garage which will serve the City of`Miami/
University;of Miami/James L. Knight International Center which is to
be constructed south of the subject block and:south of the entrance
and exit ramps of the Greater Miami Expressway System, Dade Federal
indicated that it plans to use about 30 percent of the building for
its corporate headquarters and the rest of the building would serve
as a nerve center" for international business and trade, financial
Operations and services. The article further stated that the City of
Miami would build the parking garage and then lease the.`air rights to
Dade Federal. According to the Sunday, June 3, 1979 Edition_of the
'Miami Herald, the new City of Miami/University; of: Miami/James L. Knight
International Center will be constructed on the vacant tract of land
lying south of the subject property block and south of the entrance/
exit ramps of the Greater Miami Expressway System. This development
will consist of a $58.6 million Convention Center with a 19-story,
627-room Hyatt Regency Hotel on top. As of the date of said article
it was under construction and scheduled for January, 1981 completion.
The entrance- exit ramps of the Greater Miami Expressway, System are
elevated at this point allowing accessibility between the subject
block and the property lying to the south. Other proposed develop
ments in 'the immediate area include a $116 million complex on the
Ball Point property which includes a 35-story office tower, a 70.0
room hotel, two condo towers with 400-units plus retail shops and a
parking garage. This complex was approved by the City of Miami Com-
mission on May 24, 1979 and a ground breaking ceremony was held on
July 20, 1979. On Thursday, June 21, 1979, both daily newspapers
announced that Southeast Banking Corporation plans to build a huge
office tower by 1984 on a block of undeveloped land fronting on the.
south side of S.E. Second Streetlying between S.-E. Third Avenue and
Biscayne Boulevard and lying on the north boundary of S.E. Third
Street. This location is approximately one and one-half blocks easterly
of the subject property. Accorrding to the news reports, Southeast Presi-
dent, Mr. Charles Zwick-, stated that Southeast will build a building of
from 700,000 to 1,000,000 square feet to serve as the bank's new head-
quarters. It is anticipated that this new proposed building will:bein
excess of 40 stories in height. According to the news articles, the
building is to be completed by July 1, 1984. According to the Sunday,
June 3, 1979 Edition of the Miami Herald, the developer of the:Sall
Point property, Mr. Theodore B. Gould, has options to purchase the other
three large blocks of vacant property located in front of the Dupont
Plaza Hotel These three lots lie to the south, southwest and west of
the block owned by the Southeast First National Bank. According:to the
news article, Mr.. Gould may build a major new department store and:a
garage to ease downtown's parking problems. These vacant lots are 10-
cated only one-half block easterly of the subject property lying to the
south of S.E. Second. Street and easterly of S.E. Second Avenue. In con-
tinuing to quote from the same news article, it stated that the Columbus
and McAllister Hotels are undergoing a halfa million dollar renovation..
Mr. Ronald Fine, one of the owners, plans to remodel the Columbus and
keep it open. He is also remodeling the arcades of shops beneath 1pOth
hotels. He hopes to replace both hotels with a 100'million dollar high-
rise complex of retail stores and possibly a 600 room hotel. There -
modeling isunderway;' major new construction. is at least two years away.
An unplanned renewal of Flagler Street shops has been estimated to cost
at least $25,000,000. As many as 200 new or remodeled stores have open-
ed in the past two years. Numerous other developments are either pro-
posed or underway lying to the north and west of the subject property.
The same is true for the land which lies on the south bank of the Miami
River extending along Brickell Avenue as well as the development of
Claughton Island which is connected -to the mainland by a bridge that
connects to S.E. Eighth.Street easterly of Brickell Avenue.
The downtown business district of the City of Miami appears'to be on the
verge of the biggest building boom since Miami's:present skyline was
constructed back during the mid'1920's. The trend of the' area appears
to be the continued redevelopment of this area with various new types
of building improvements.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
S.E. Second Street has a dedicated width of 40 feet in the immediate
vicinity of the subject property. It is paved full width with asphalt.
Sidewalks, curbs and gutters are in on both sides of the street.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
The public utilities available to the subject property include electricity,
telephone, public water and public sanitary sewers.

square feet.
TOPOGRAPHY
The area of both parcels of the subject property not covered by buildings
is mostly level and at street grade.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Acceptance of the definition of Highest and. Best Use as "that use which,
at the time of the appraisal, is most likely to produce the greatest net
return to the land over a given period of time, provided such use is
natural, probable, reasonably proximate in time arid legally permissable"
leads to the development of the following facts and conclusions':
Use of the land as an office building site is in legal conformance
with existing statutes. Numerous office structures are located with-
in the surrounding area and range in agefrom one that is under con-
struction to a number that are in excess -of 50 years of age'. Accord-
ing to the Tuesday., May 22,1979 Edition of -the Miami Herald-, both
parcels of the subject property are slated to be acquired by the
City of Miami as a part of an overall site to be improved with an
8-story parking garage to serve the nearby City of Miami/University
of Miami/James L. Knight, International Center which is presently
under development. In addition, Dade Federal Savings and`Loan':
Association proposes to lease the air rights over the. parking _garage
to construct a 50-story Uorld Trade Center. Dade Federal proposes
to occupy approximately 30 percent of the building space and lease:
out the rest of the building: for tenants who engage in international
business and trade, financial operations and services.
By reason of these considerations, the highest and best use of both parcels
of the subject property appears to be their acquisition by the City of
Miami as a part of an overall tract to construct an 8-story parking garage
with the 50-story World Trade Center to be constructed above`by Dade:Fed-
eral Savings and Loan Association.

VALUATION APPRAOCH
In'order to arrive at the estimated Fair Market Value of the subject
property, greatest consideration has been given the Market Approach
to Value. It is the opinion of this appraiser that both parcelsof
the subject property are improved with structures that do not represent
the highest and best use for each parcel. Any prospective purchaser
of both parcels of the subject property would only be interested in
acquiring the land and this is especially true when considering the
adjoining property owner, the City of --Miami, as the potential pur
chaser. Thus, the value of the land of both parcels of the subject
property has been estimated by the Market Approach to Value which
value represents the total value of both parcels of the subject
property.
MARKET APPROACH TO LAND VALUE OR TOTAL VALUE OF PROPERTY
In this approach, the Market Data Approach or a comparative method has
been used This method involves comparing, weighing and .relating such
elements as size, location, time of sale, zoning and other pertinent
'comparison factors between similar properties under comparison and the
subject property. The object of the Market Data Approach is:'to deduce
from data of actual sales and current offerings to buy or sell, the
amount at which the subject property would -sell if it were put on the
market. This assumes a willing buyer and a willing seller, both fully
informed with no abnormal pressure and the property being exposed in
the open market for a reasonable time;.
The application of this approach tends to set the range;in which the
value of the subject property will fall and is generally considered
a particularly: significant value estimate since it represents the
value established by reactions of informed buyers and sellers in the
market.
The area considered most comparable to the subject property and the area
searched for comparable sales falls within the following boundaries:
Biscayne Boulevard to the east; S.E. Fourth Street to the south, Miami
Avenue to the west and the back lot lines of the lots fronting on the
north side of Flagler'Street to the north. All'of this area is zoned
the same as the subject property and the subject property lies within
approximately the geographical center of this area. A number of the
comparable sales were improved with older improvements in a marginal
condition and thus representing mostly land value. A summary of the
sales follow within this report followed by a discussion of their
characteristics'and value implications.

to S.E. First Avenue and southerly to S.E. Third Street. The total area
of this property is approximately 62,848 square feet including_ th'e
12,000 square feet of the subject property. According to the Tuesday,
May 22, 1979 Edition of the Miami Herald, Mr. Ronald Lipton, President
of Dade Federal Savings and Loan Association, said the firm would spend
35 million to 40 million dollars for the 50-story office building.. This
is in addition to the approximately $10,000,0.00 the City ibf Miami will.
spend to build the 8-story parking garage beneath the'50-story office
building. According to the Friday, January 12, 1979 Edition of the
Miami News, this property which has since been improved:with the One
Biscayne Tower Office building has been sold for a total of 49.1 million
dollars.
Sale No. 2 consisted of several lots in the block on the north side of
East FlaglerStreet between N.E. Second Avenue and N.E. Third Avenue.
Two of the lots front on the north side of East Flagler Street with
one lot fronting on 'the west side of N.'E. Third Avenue and one lot on
the south side of N.E. First Street. At the time of sale, July 28,
1977, this property was improved with the Paramount Hotel and Theater,
the Bradford Hotel and a small building containing a restaurant. All
of the improvements were in marctinal condition at that time. .Since
the purchase, the new owners have demolished the Bradford Hotel.
which
fronted on N.E. First Street and the.restaurant building which fronted
on N.E. Third Avenue, They have converted the theater and the lobby
of the Paramount Hotel into a two level shopping mall. This mall will
be extended onto the sites on which the Bradford Hotel and the restaurant
building formerly occupied. The new owners plan to convert the Paramount
Hotel rooms into office spaces. This site contains a total of 30,000
square feet which was the second largest to the largest, Sale No. 1.
Sale No. 3 is located on the northwest corner of_the interception of
S.E. Fourth Street with S.E. Second Avenue. This location has been
considered an interception due to the fact that S.E. Fourth Street jogs
to the south and then continues east of S.E. Second>Avenue This sale
resulted from a negotiated purchase,by the City of Miami as:one of the
last parcels of the overall site for the new City of .Miami Convention
Center. -The City of. Miami obtained an, appraisal prior to entering into
negotiations for the purchase. This sale has been included to show what
the City of Miami was willing to pay in order to round out the site for
the new proposed Convention 'Center.
Sale No. 4 is located adjoining the northerly.boundaryof Sale No.-3.
It is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of the exit '
of the downtown expressway with S.E. Second Avenue.' It is the sane size
as Sale No. 4 but was improved with the old Patricia Hotel. The City of
Miami obtained an appraisal prior to entering into negotiations to pur-
chase this property. This property represents one of the last parcels,
if not the last parcel, to be acquired by the City of Miami for the
new proposed Convention Center.
) Sale No. 5 consist of one lot which is improved with a two-story build-
ing located at 219 Flagler Fla ler Street. It has a frontage of 50 feet
with a depth of approximately 140 feet. The improvements are old and
in substandard condition with the exception of the first floor spaces
which have been improved by the tenants according to their specifications.
Sale No..6 consist ,of a tract of land containing two:50foot lots with a
depth of approximately 1.40 feet. At the time of this sale, the property
was improved with the old Ponce De Leon Hotel. An"inspection of this -
property revealed that the improvements are in marginal condition.: There-
fore, it appears that the ma=lority of the value of this property can be
attributed to the land. Subsequent to the date of this sale. the hotel
was closed and renovation work was in progress on the first floor.,
Sale No.- 7 consist of two lots located on the east side of South Miami
Avenue at S.E. Second Street. This site has a frontage of 100 feet Pn
the north side of S.E. Second Street and 125 feet on the east-side:Of
s
South Miami Avenue. As of the date of this appraisal, the prop y
being improved with a 14-story office building which will'containapproi-
mately 175,000 square feet. The major tenant in this building will be
the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service
Sale No. 8 is the same as Sale. No• 6. This sale represents a'value
increase of $840,000 from June 30-, 1978 to May 30, 1.979• This is a time
period ,Of 11 months and represents an increase of approximately 5 per-
cent per month. As of the date of this appraisal, the hotel building
had:been razed.
Sale.No•' 9 is the most recent of all sales listed. It is located on
the northwest corner of S.E. First Street and S.E. Second Avenue. The
property is improved with the Urmey. Hotel which was constructed in
approximately 1916. This building is approximately 63 years old and
is most obsolete based on present day standards. It is the opinion
of this appraiser that this sale represents land value due to the age
and obsolescence of the improvements. It appears that this hotel was
constructedof poured concrete. If this should be the case,'it would
be most expensive to raze the hotel and haul away_the debris. Based_
on recent newspaper articles, the purchaser of.this property has no
immediate plans for redevelopment.
As previously discussed, the subject property is a part of a larger
tract containing approximately 62,848 square feet. This total tract
including the subject property is to be:improved with a 8-story parking
garage with a 50-storyWorld: Trade.. Center Office Building to be,con-
structed over the parking garage. The ostensible purpose for con-
structing the parking garage is to serve the James L. Knight Inter
national Center located to the south of the entrance -exit ramps of
the downtown expressway system and extenaing.to the north bank of
the Miami River.. According to the Wednesday, December 13, 1978 Edition
of the Miami Herald, a ceremonial start of construction began on.this
date as dozens of civic and political dignitaries watched the pouring

of the first concrete for the foundation of the new $58.6 million project.
The project, a joint venture, involves the city of Miami, the University
of Miami and a group of private developers led by Earl Worsham of jiorsham
Brothers Company, Inc. of Atlanta. The complex will include a 627-room
hotel - The Hyatt Regency Miami - that will rise 19 stories above conven-
tion facilities capable of handling meetings of up to 8,000 people, accord
ing to James Connolly, Project Director of the City's Convention` Center.
A total of 40,000 square feet of exhibit space will be available plus an
additional 40,000 square feet of area for shops and restaurants,"Connolly
said. Development of this 4-acre site is scheduled to be finished by
January, 1981, according to Mr. Connolly. It is the opinion of this ap-
praiser that this development, when completed, will give the downtown f
business district a tremendous boost in business and tourism. The pro-
posed development on the parcel of property of which the subject prop- M
erty is a part will certainly complement the James L. Knight International
Center to the south. According to the Tuesday, May 22, 1979 Edition of
the Miami Herald, it stated that the proposed World Trade Center Office
Building to be constructed above the 8-story parking garage on the parcel
of land of which the subject property is a part will contain more than
500,000 square feet. According to said article, approximately 70 percent
of this building will serve as a nerve center for international business
and trade, financial operations and services.
All sales are within close proximity of the subject property and all have
the same zoning. All sales took place during 1973 and 1978 with excep-.
tion of Sale No. 1. As previously discussed, Sale No. 1 has been included
due to the fact_that it contains the largest land area.of any sale and
is also improved with a 40-story office building and parking garage con-
taining approximately 600,000 square feet. The tract of land of which
the subject property is a part is proposed:to be improved with a com-
parable type structure. Sale No. 2 was the next largest in size and
had frontage on three streets. This sale together with Sales 5, 6 and
8.are located within the same block fronting on the north side of Flagler
Street. Sales 6 and 8 were of the same property with Sale No. 8 taking
place approximately 11 months after Sale No. 6. This sale showedHa
price increase of from $103.57 per square foot to`$163,57 per square
foot. Sale No. 8 represents a value increase of 58 percent over the
Sale No. 6 or approximately 5 percent per month., Sale No. 9 is the
most recent and is improved with a old hotel estimated to be approxi-
mately 6.3 years old. While this property has a frontage of 210:feet on
the north side of S.E. First Street, it only has a depth of 75 feet for
the easterly 150 feet. As previously discussed, it appears that it would
be:extremely expensive to raze this building for redevelopment of the
property. Sale No. 7 is the same size as the subject property and is
being improved with an office building. However, it is not a part .of
a larger tract of land such as the subject property.
In summary, it appears that the activity in the downtown business district
of the City of Miami is gravitating south from Flagler Street to the north
bank of the Miami River. This opinion is well supported by:the proposed
development on:the tract of land of which the subject property is a part,
development of the -James L. Knight international Center on the north bank
of the Miami River and S.E. Second Avenue which development began in
December, 1978, the proposed construction of a new office building by •
the First National Bank of Miami on a block bounded.on the north by
S.E. Second Street, on the east by Biscayne Boulevard,on the south
1

•
by S.E. Third Street and on the west by S.E. Third Avenue and develop-
ment of the Ball Point property which appears to be underway and is
located easterly of the First National Bank building property on the
east side of Biscayne Boulevard with frontage on the north bank of the
Miami River and the west bank of Biscayne Bay.
Sale No. 1 has been considered to be the most comparable with the
exception of the date it took place-. While making an adjustment for
time for Sale No. 1 but giving consideration to all other sales, a
value of $130 per square foot has been selected as the estimated Fair
Market unit value of the subject property. Thus, 12,000 square feet
times $130 per square foot equals $1,560,00.0, indicated value of the
subject property by the Market Approach to Value while considering
the subject property to be a part of an overall larger tract to be
improved with an 8-story parking garage with a 50-story World Trade.
Center Office Building to be constructed above the parking garage.
As to a value division of both parcels of the subject property, it
appears that Parcel A has a slightly higher value than Parcel B. This
is partially due to Parcel,A's frontage with the -adjoining property to
the west and to the south. By having control of Parcel A leaves Parcel
B by itself and thus reduces its utility of being able to obtain Parcel
A for development with Parcel B. This judgment opinion has been esti-
mated at approximately 7 1/2 percent of the total appraised value of
both parcels ofthe subject property. Seven and one-half percent times
$1,560,000 equals $117,000 which has been rounded to $115,000. The
estimated value increment for Parcel A of $115,000is thus subtracted
from the total appraised value of $1,560,000 leaving a net value for
Parcels A and B of $1,445,000. By dividing this amount by two indicates
a value of $722,500 for each parcel. The. estimated value of Parcel A is
$115,000 greater due to its estimated value increment.
