RE: REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
345 NW l0 '' STREET, MIAMI, FLORIDA
FOLIO 01-0101-040-1160
Dear Sirs:
VIA HAND DELIVERY
CITY CLERK OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI
Please accept this letter as our offer to purchase the property located at 345 NW 10th
Street, Miami, Florida (hereinafter referred to as the "Property") for $1,250,000.00, with
no financing contingencies. Our intention is to purchase the Property, build a new high
technology building, and relocate existing tenants that are being displaced due to the
construction.
It has recently become public information that Major League Baseball and the Florida
Marlins are intending to build a stadium in downtown Miami. We are the owners of 49
NW 5th Street and 60 NW 6th Street, two of the properties that would be used to construct
the proposed stadium. One of the tenants in our building is Level 3 Telecommunications,
which operates as one of the world's newest and most advanced telecommunications
platforms. Comcast, French Telecom, Telefonica, Verizon, and many others are housed
in our building. The property adjacent to ours, which will also be demolished in the
proposed stadium construction, is Bellsouth. All of these telecommunications companies
will need to relocate in the downtown vicinity simply because most of the cables, wires,
and ports are in downtown Miami
•
•
Page Two
Our intention is to provide a first class technology building for these telecommunications
companies to move to once their existing buildings have been demolished. Failure to
provide such accommodations would be catastrophic for the City of Miami. It is likely
that most if not all of these companies would move their operations out of South Florida
to Tampa or Orland. In the event that these companies move, Miami would lose valuable,
high technologyjobs that are essential for the City to continue growing. Moreover,
Miami would lose the tax revenue generated by these companies.
We have a long standing commitment to seeing the downtown area develop and reach its
true potential. A review of the public records will demonstrate that we have been in the
area since the early 1980s, when no other investors were even looking in the area. Now,
in 2006, our offer to purchase the Property will benefit the City of Miami by substantially
increasing the taxes generated by the Property, by creating and maintaining technology
jobs, and maintaining and expanding upon Miami's place as a telecommunication's hub.
Without having undertaken a complete parking analysis, we feel that with a minimal
investment, especially in lighting, it would be possible to create at least 150 parking
spaces under the 1-95 expressway. This solution is inexpensive, practical, and is going to
create additional income for the City of Miami.
We understand that the City is under great pressure to build affordable housing in the
area. However, doing so in the vicinity of 1-95 will likely force the federal government
to intervene and build walls to protect the residents from all of the traffic noise. Once the
walls are built, views to the downtown area would be severely hampered.
We look forward to having the opportunity to continue being involved in the downtown
of the City of Miami. If you have any questions, or • if you require any additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
Very truly yours,
Jazz

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The mission of the Urban Development Group (UDG) is revitalizing communities by creating affordable living. UDG
is partnering with Mt. Zion Development, Inc., a not -for -profit Community Development Corporation to develop the
Jazz Village condominium development in the historic area of Overtown. in addition, we have added Alex Fraser,
President & CEO of Fraser Financial and former Regional President of OneUnited Bank, the largest African American
owned bank in the country to our development team. Our collaboration with Mr. Fraser expands our reach and rela-
tionship with the urban community.
Jazz Village will serve as an economic catalyst for the Southeast Overtown / Park West CRA. It will address numer-
ous community needs, specifically, economic development, educational development, affordable homeownership,
community empowerment and affordable rental housing.
The first phase of Jazz Village will be a ten story mixed -use building. The building will consist of 12,000 square feet
of ground floor retail, 26,000 square feet of office space and 63 residential condominium units. The development will
include a nine story self -park garage with capacity for apprordmaiely 260 cars. The second phase will be developed
by Carrfour Corporation and will consist of 60 units of affordable rental housing. We are proposing to build Jazz
Village on the existing parking lot located at 345 MN 10 Street, which is owned by the Southeast Overtown / Park
West CRA. We have obtained site control from the South Florida Smart. Growth Land Trust, which is managed by the
Collins Center for Public Policy for the adjacent parcels in order to build the development.
The development will be within walking distance of the newly renovated historic Lyric Theatre and Mt. Zion Church
and will offer magnificent views of the Downtown Miami Skyline and Biscayne Bay. The development is conveniently
served by two Metrorail Stations within a few blocks.
Jazz Village will have a direct impact on breaking the cycle of poverty that currently exists in Overtown. We believe
that Jazz Village will create a new found interest from the urban professional that previously left the area to return to
the Overtown community, The retail space will include a branch office for a local bank, an eating establishment with
entertainment and other local neighborhood businesses. These businesses will provide an economic development
engine by offering permanent jobs to individuals in the area. The office space will include a national medical training
school which will give local residents the opportunity to achieve careers in the medical field; therefore, elevating them
into higher paying jobs. The affordable homeownership and rental units MI provide safe and convenient housing op-
portunities for local residents, Most importantly, Jazz Village will transcend Overtown back to its heyday by fostering
a renewed sense of community.

THE URBAN DEVELOPMENT GROUP, LLC
THE COMPANY: The Urban Development Group, LLC was founded in January of 2002 by Alberto Milo, Jr.
The company's mission is to revitalize communities by creating affordable living. UDG has identified several
underserved markets, one of which lies within the urban core of Miami -Dade County. The underserved market
consists of individuals that eam between 60% and 150% of the Miami -Dade median income. These individuals
currently do not have an economically feasible homeownership opportunity within Miami's urban core.
UDG focuses on acquiring parcels of land that fall within HUD designated Target Areas, Locally Designated Target
Areas, or Underserved Census Tracts. By purchasing land in these census tracts, UDG can leverage private and
public resources to create affordable homeownership with end financing subsidies. This is where UDG has
a competitive edge on its competition because of the experience of its affiliated company Banking Mortgage
Corporation inc, a Correspondent Mortgage Lender licensed by the State of Florida.
ALBERTO MILO JR., PRESIDENT: Albert has over sixteen years of experience in the real estate sales and
mortgage banking industry. He began his real estate career as a licensed Realtor Associate in 1988 with Century
21 Statewell Realty in Coral Gables, Florida where he worked with a variety of clients on their residential purchase
and disposition needs. In 1990, upon obtaining his Mortgage Broker license, he became a Loan Officer, and
later a Senior Loan Officer with Preferential Mortgage Corporation in Miami. While there, Albert was responsible
for arranging residential loan applications for local builders, and HUD/FHA purchasers, specializing in low to
moderate income homebuyers. In 1992, he went on to co-found and become Vice -President, and currently
President of Banking Mortgage Corporation Inc, a licensed Florida Correspondent Mortgage Lender. Under his
direction Banking Mortgage Corporation has become an approved Lender with the Miami -Dade County Housing
Finance Authority, Miami -Dade County Housing Agency, and the Florida Housing Finance Corporation all of which
specialize in affordable mortgage programs for first time homebuyers. Concurrently, in 1991 he founded Elite
Service Realty inc., a real estate brokerage firm specializing in real estate sales to low and moderate income home
buyers. The company has since been renamed Urban Development Group Realty, Inc.
In the year 2000 Albert cofounded Urban Renaissance Partners Inc. He was pivotal in the acquisition of the parcel
of land developed as the Neo Condominium, by identifying the property and negotiating the sales price. Moreover,
he was the person responsible for initiating the negotiations with Fannie Mae through their ACF Equity Investment
Division. After successfully structuring the pre -development of the parcel he sold his ownership interests in urban
Renaissance Partners to pursue other ventures and start The Urban Development Group, LLC.
SUNSET PALM VILLAS CONDOMINIUM: In April of 2000, Albert put together a group of investors and formed
Little River Development LTD, a Florida Limited Partnership and New Conversions Inc. it's General Partner a
Florida Corporation, he served as the President of both entities. little River Development was formed to purchase
the Larchmont Gardens Public Housing Project from Miami -Dade County. After acquiring the property, it was
converted into Sunset Palm Villas, a town -house style condominium development for affordable homeownership.
The development consisted of ten phases totaling 266 units ranging in type from 1 bedroom 11 bathroom to 4
bedrooms / 3 bathrooms. The development was completed in November of 2003 and has regenerated the entire
neighborhood with 266 proud new homeowners.

THE URBAN DEVELOPMENT GROUP, LLC (CONTINUED)
SEYBOLD POINTE CONDOMINI UM: In March of 2002, Albert contracted to buy an acre of land in the Spring Garden
area of Miami. This property has been developed into Seybold Pointe, a 96 unit residential condominium. The
building is the Est mass -transit oriented homeownership development in Miami's urban core; moreover, it is located
within the Federal Empowerment Zone. The building is 13 stories high, with a unit mix of lbedroom / 1bathroom
and 2bedroom / 2bathroom units. The building was completed in December of 2004 and all units are currently 100%
closed. The majority of the purchasers are workers in the Civic Center area and the Central Business District.
WAGNER .SQUARE • PROJECT: In October of 2002, Albert formed a partnership with other leading developers In
the area, named Wagner Square, LLC. The partnership contracted with the City of Miami to re -develop a four acre
Brownfields site in the Civic Center area of Miami. The partnership was awarded a one million dollar BEDI grant by
US HUD accompanied by a $4,000,000 Section 108 Loan; the first ever awarded to the City of Miami. The project is
going to be a mixed use development consisting of 198 condominiums and approximately 60,000 to 100,000 square
feet of commercial development. The condominiums are geared for first time buyers, 52% of the units are reserved
for buyers at or below 170% of median income.
THE ATRIUM AT SPRING GARDEN CONDOMINIUM: In December of 2004, Albert formed UDG II, LLC to develop a
property located at 820 NW 7th Avenue. The property is going to be developed into The Atrium at Spring Garden
Ai Condominium an 80 unit building. The property is located in the Federal Empowerment Zone and will have a mix of
Mir one and two bedroom units. The project is a mixed income development with affordable housing units set aside for

the fundamental philosophy of The Urban Development Group, that communities can be revitalized, by creating
affordable homeownership. It is the anly means by which to give families a vested interest in their neighborhoods
and a vehicle to create wealth.

Economise Impact Analysis
Jazz Village
The Urban Development Group ( UDG )is in the process of securing
Medvance Institute as the anchor tenant for Jazz Village. They are a
national, licensed, accredited allied health and nursing school. The
recruitment of Medvance will create a tremendous economic impact
in Overtown, which is one of the poorest neighborhoods in the City of
Miami. Some of the economic benefits that Medvance will create are:
1. They will offer seventeen career choices at this campus
location. Financial aid will be available on campus for all
qualified students.
2. The entry level annual salaries for graduating students will
range from $20,800 to $41,600. The average household
income in Overtown today is approximately $14,000 a year.
Which means the lowest paying career choice would represent
an increase of 48 57% in household income.
3. The school projects they will have 352 graduates in their first
year of operation, with projections increasing to 800 graduates
annually by the fifth year.
4. The school projects they will generate 33 permanent jobs in
their first year of operation, with projections of an additional
31 permanent jobs by the fifth year. The average annual salary
for employees of the school is $45,600.
UDG firmly believes that the educational component of the
development will create a true resurgence in Overtown. It will
provide the current residents with the opportunity to enhance their
earning potential and therefore better their quality of life.
Revitalizing Communities by Creating Workforce Housing
•
The ground floor retail space will consist of approximately 12,000
square feet. UDG will be targeting minority owned businesses or
franchisees for the retail space. We have already received a letter of
interest from one minority owned franchisee for an eating
establishment. They are interested in 1,500 to 2,000 square feet of
retail space. They anticipate creating seven permanent full-time and
part-time employment positions.
We are targeting a branch office for a local bank, an eating
establishment with entertainment, a sporting goods clothing store
and other local neighborhood businesses. When all of the retail
space is leased, these businesses will create over 25 permanent lobs
for local residents.
The development of Jazz Village will be the true definition of a
public -private partnership, where government and the non-profit and
for -profit sector combine their resources towards the mission of
community empowerment.

÷MedVance*
I N S T I T U T E
Attention: Alberto Milo
MedVance students traditionally require fmancial assistance to help
cover the cost of their education. . Many students use a combination of loans
and grants from the U.S. Department of Education and state agencies as well
as community and business scholarships to provide them with the necessary
funding to cover their education.
MedVance is interested in locating in downtown Miami. The
surrounding communities will be well served to have a licensed, accredited
allied health and nursing school to provide graduates who will be trained
professionals to work in the Miami medical market.
Financial Aid is available to all students at MedVance who qualify for
assistance. With the demographics of the greater Miami community that
MedVance will serve, it is reasonable to assume that approximately 85% of
the students funds will come from the U.S. Department of Education,
approximately 7% will come from student cash payments and about 8% will
come from state and business loans and scholarships.
The goal of the Financial Aid Department at each MedVance location
is to help all students identify their financial needs. The Financial Aid
Department provides students with information to access financial resources
to help them achieve the appropriate level of financial packaging so that
they can attend school. The Financial Aid staff at MedVance is available to
all students to help them understand their financial responsibilities
associated with their loans and grants and all the possible sources of funding.
•
•
Our graduates, as allied health and nurse professionals are readily
employed in a variety of healthcare positions. Many medical businesses
including hospitals, surgery centers, diagnostic centers and insurance/billing
companies want to work closely with MedVance so that the graduates
consider their opportunity for employment as a "first choice",
We look forward to building great alliances with the medical businesses in
the Miami community.
