The Proposer— NR Investments
NR Investments is a privately held, Miami -based real estate investments,
management, and development firm, founded in 2001 by Ron Gottesmann
and Nir Shoshani. The company has been based in Miami for the last +20
years.
Since its founding, NR Investments has acquired, developed,
repositioned, and/or managed millions of square feet of multifamily,
commercial, and retail real estate assets in major markets.
Through the years, NR Investments has invested more than a billion
dollars in over 50 projects, comprising close to 5 million square feet of
office space and approximately 6,000 multifamily units.
The company's mission is to create neighborhoods, shaping cityscapes
and creating value in formerly neglected areas, fostering along the way a
sense of community among residents, businesses, and visitors alike. As
such, the firm focuses on property and neighborhood revitalization by
acquiring underperforming buildings or underdeveloped land in high
visibility locations and rehabilitating or developing them to their full
potential.
For the purposes of the present Proposal, NR Investments will create an
affiliate special purpose entity which will be controlled by the Proposer.
2001— 2007: South Florida Office and Residential Submarket
During this initial period, NR Investments primarily focused on the South
Florida area, accumulating an apartment portfolio of over 2,500
residential units, and acquiring eight office buildings totaling over two
million square feet.
The company commenced its operations with the acquisition of a single
22-unit apartment building located in North Miami. NR Investments
quickly grew by acquiring many more low -and -middle -income multifamily
communities in South Florida.
In 2004, the firm changed its core business from low -and -middle -income
multifamily communities to Class "B" office buildings. Applying a similar
recipe for success, NR Investments successfully bought, renovated, and
managed commercial property assets in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale
areas.
NR Investments successfully exited most of these South Florida assets
by 2008, completely selling its remaining portfolio of office space by 2016.

2007 — 2012: Class "A" Office Condo Developments in Pen
During the economic downturn and financial crisis, NR Investments
worked on leasing up its remaining portfolio and minimizing operating
expenses, successfully honoring all the company's financial obligations,
and never returning an asset to a bank. Moreover, the company invested
in its employees and maintained 95% of the human capital in the North
American operations in order to safeguard the know-how necessary to
succeed in the next growth cycle. Simultaneously, NR Investments started
researching international real estate markets, looking for countries and
areas that showed high growth potential.
That is how, starting in 2007, NR Investments successfully developed
Qubo and Link Tower, over 850,000 square feet of Class "A" office space
in Lima, Peru, and in the process opening neighborhoods up that were
previously discarded by developers, introducing innovative concepts,
features, and amenities in the Lima office space landscape.

This strategy went back to the beginning of the company.
The firm acquired, capitalized, managed, and subsequently sold a
portfolio totaling approximately 3,000 apartment units throughout Orlando,
Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg.

2014 — Present: Development of Miami's Arts + Entertainment
District and Focus of Public -Private Partnerships
Since 2015, NR Investments has been instrumental in the founding and
activation of the Arts + Entertainment District of Greater Downtown
Miami, investing approximately $2,000,000 in efforts to beautify the area,
attract new businesses and retailers, and deliver high -quality arts, music,
and community programming, hosting upwards of 150 free and open
community events and drawing thousands of people to this formerly
neglected neighborhood of Miami.
Conceived by locals and for locals, respectful by the character of the area,
and influenced by its neighboring communities, the Arts + Entertainment
District provided for years a platform for local artists, businesses,
institutions, festivals, and non -profits to grow their reach, expand their
activities, and integrate more fully with the community at large.
By "activating" a formerly dormant and derelict area of the city, while
simultaneously fostering a sense of community that many felt had long -
been lacking in Miami, NR Investments acted upon the belief that it could
create real long-term value for the city, its residents, and entrepreneurs,
while optimizing the conditions for financial success of its own real estate
developments. These projects included:
• The Filling Station Lofts, an 81-unit, high -end, loft -style rental
property which it acquired and completed in 2012, and which the
company owns and operates successfully to this day. An audacious
concept that brings the neighborhood's arts scene from the outside
in and which defied the expectations of what the area could and
would support at the time; a property that's sophisticated yet bold
and edgy in what was still the edge of town at the time of its
opening.
• CANVAS, a 513-unit, 38-story condominium tower delivered in
January of 2019 under the concept of 'Affordable Luxury', bringing
real density to the neighborhood while providing expansive
amenities, emphasizing flexible financing products, and, crucially,
targeting local, year-round end -user residents of Miami's urban
core.
Currently, NR Investments is developing approximately 1,400 residential
units and thousands of square feet of retail and office space in projects in
South Florida, Ohio, and South Carolina. The company presently focuses
on creating public -private partnerships (PPPs) that advance the
revitalization of communities and neighborhoods while enabling the
construction of affordable and workforce housing to serve the people that
serve their communities at large.

The company's leadership is convinced that by allowing teachers, nurses,
EMT's, police officers, fire fighters, and municipal employees — in sum,
some of the city's finest — to live closer to their jobs and within the
communities they serve makes for a healthier, safer, better, and more
sustainable place.
NR Investments' present developments and PPPs include:
• UNI Tower, the City of Miami's first fully income -and -rent restricted
skyrise, comprising 252 residential units in the city's Central
Business District for tenants making between 60% and 140% AMI,
plus 10,000 square feet of office space, and 4,500 square feet of
ground floor retail.
• UNI-DOS, also within the City of Miami's CBD, comprising 398
multifamily units of which 30% will be dedicated exclusively to
residents making between 60% and 80% AMI, plus about 8,500
square feet of ground floor retail.
• SKY Building, in Oakland Park, Florida, where NR Investments will
develop the city's new City Hall building as well as 134 units of
workforce housing at 120% and 140% AMI, plus retail and live -work
residences.
• The Rockwell District, in Whitehall, Ohio, which consists of a
multi -phased 50-acre master development adjacent to an 80-acre
public park and nature reserve, to eventually comprise up to 1,500
residential units, 200,000 square feet of retail, and 200,000 square
feet of office space. The Rockwell District' is Whitehall's largest
development in half a century and will transform this Columbus -
adjacent locality, currently one of the poorest ZIP codes in the
country.
Phase 1A of the project, currently under development,
includes 250 residential units — 20% of which will be restricted
at 80% AMI — 20,000 square feet of retail space, live -
work studios, and extensive infrastructure, streetscape, and
hardscape improvements as well as a public promenade and
amphitheater.
• The Gateway, in Greenville, South Carolina, a proposed
development which will contain 300 units in the former site of
Greenville's beloved Memorial Auditorium. The project is being
envisioned as a catalyst for further economic and community
growth by expanding Downtown Greenville, integrating the city's
Cultural Corridor, and spurring the redevelopment and
revitalization of the Gateway District to the East.

Description of the Proposed Development
NR Investments is proposing a wholesale redevelopment and
transformation of the subject site through a multi -phased development that
will contain sizable components of multifamily housing, office and retail
space, civic buildings, improvements of public infrastructure, and green
space open to the public, plus hotel use.
Importantly, the Proposer does not envision requesting any zoning
modifications for the subject site, as all proposed uses as well as the
proposed scope of the project's development program are allowed by
land -use code regulation as -is.
The Proposer has engaged world-renowned planning, urban design, and
architecture firm DPZ CoDesign (https://www.dpz.com/) to help develop a
transformative vision and project for the GSA site. The proposed
development is the result of extensive, wide-ranging discussions over a
multiday charrette workshop, conducted to define the site's best possible
uses and features, with an eye on creating a living, breathing, vibrant new
community and economic engine for Allapattah and the City of Miami as a
whole.
The proposed development program calls for, approximately:
■ 2,500 residential apartment units, of which 500 are anticipated to
be workforce housing for residents making between 100% and
140% Area Median Income (AMI).
■ About 200,000 square feet of office space, which will dramatically
increase business activity in the area and create a permanent
center for job -creation.
■ Around 100,000 square feet of ground -floor retail distributed
throughout the proposed development, facing both the site's
existing external boundary roadways —substantively transforming
and improving the retail and pedestrian experience on NW 20th
Street as well as on NW 12th and 14th Avenues— as well as the
future internal vehicular streets and green spaces.
■ About 5 acres of green open space fully accessible by the general
public, including public art features and proposed activations that
will create a functional, attractive, and dynamic park scene.
■ A hotel component consisting of around 300 rooms, which will,
among other things, serve the VA Medical Center, Jackson
Memorial Hospital system, and University of Miami Hospital
complex.

Description of Proposed Development
CONFIDENTIAL & PROPRIETARY
18
Furthermore, and as better and more extensively described in the
`Summary of Public Benefits', the proposed development envisions the
creation of certain civic buildings or community uses, such as:
• A `Library' or `Study House' which will allow for —in association
with local educational institutions— after -school and continuing
education programs, job training workshops, mentoring
opportunities, and study rooms, among other uses.
• A `Community Market' or Open Gathering Area, with a stage fit for
live music events and performing arts shows, public promenade
and food and retail stands, with the objective of turning the site into
an entertainment and leisure destination for Allapattah and its
neighboring communities.
• Approximately 5 acres of the site will be dedicated to activated
green spaces, both at ground level and elevated, which will be fully
accessible by the general public, and will include community
squares, public art, dog park, kids' playground, community
gardens, investments in hardscape, and potentially an urban farm,
forming a public interconnected green `loop' that will act as a
destination by itself.
• Moreover, the proposed development envisions the relocation of
Fire Rescue Station 5, currently on the northeastern corner of the
site, to a more central location on NW 20th Street, and its fuller
integration into the community by an internal -facing cafe or open
space adjacent to the development's central green square.
The Proposer anticipates that fairly extensive environmental issues affect
the site given its current and previous uses. For that matter, the Proposer
will embark on an integral environmental evaluation and subsequent
remediation of the premises which will enable all proposed future uses for
the project. It is expected for this remediation process to take place
before ground is broken for any of the proposed future improvements.
astiti tu►e aivejtr l
Likewise, wide-ranging infrastructure investments will take place on the
site, including, but not limited to, road, sidewalk, and pedestrian pathway
construction; hardscape, streetscape, and landscape development; and
utility connections, among others. These will effectively transform the site
into a living, mixed -use community of residential, office, retail, civic, and
green space uses.
Banta CI a 664'JOH
The proposed development will greatly benefit from the proximity of the
Santa Clara Station of the Metrorail system, which is virtually adjacent to
the site. The project will transform Santa Clara, currently the lowest
ridership station in the Metrorail system, into a true transportation and
connectivity hub for the neighborhood, enhancing the mobility of
residents, visitors, and office dwellers alike, and facilitating the makeover
of the site into an entertainment destination for the area and its
neighboring communities.
Description of Proposed Development
•
ONFIDENTIAL & PROPRIETARY

Proposer intends to enhance and modernize Santa Clara by improving
the station's visual connectivity to the site.
Multi -Phased Development Prograr
Generally, the Proposer foresees developing the full project in four
phases, subject to dividing the development in more or less phases or
subphases as the project breaks ground and moves forward. As
mentioned above, any work on these phases, including Phase 1, will be
preceded by the environmental remediation of the site.
Phases 1(a) and 1(b) —concentrated mostly on the SW corner of the
site although extending towards NW 20th Street to the North— will
center on building the first multifamily residential buildings of the site
(estimated to contain around 350-500 dwelling units) as well as the
initial network of parks and green open spaces, which are envisioned to
include central community squares, children and dog parks, public art,
and the urban farm component.
Additionally, Proposer intends to include as part of these initial
subphases some of the main civic or community facilities of the project,
such as the `Library' or `Study House', and the `Community Market' and
Gathering Space fit for retail, food & beverage stands, live music,
performances, etc. on NW 20th Street. Substantial infrastructure
improvements, including internal road and pedestrian pathway
development, will be included in this phase,
\\T
along with the first portion of ground floor retail of the development
(estimated at about 10,000-15,000 square feet), chiefly along NW 14th
Avenue but also facing the proposed internal vehicular streets and
pedestrian walkways within the site.
In general, the Proposer's vision Phase 1 of the project is to include some
of the most salient elements and uses of the full development, so that the
community reflects from its onset the main features and public benefits as
envisioned for the entire site.
Phase 2 of the project —centered on the SE portion of the site— will
incorporate the first office buildings of the project as well as its hotel
component. Capitalizing on the prior completion of Phase 1 along with its
multifamily, retail, civic, and green space elements, the Proposer believes
that the community will be mature and economically dynamic enough at
this point to support these far larger commercial facilities, which will in turn
foster the further growth of the whole community in a virtuous cycle. As
with Phase 1, it is intended for Phase 2 to increase the network of open
green space within the site as well as add more square footage of ground -
floor retail.
The main buildings of Phase 3 —to be concentrated on the NE and central
parts of the site— will likely consist of a mixture of multifamily and office
space, which will dramatically increase the square footage of these uses
towards achieving the total figures specified in the development program.
escription of Proposed Development
CONFIDENTIAL & PROPRIETARY
20
Phase 3 will also considerably increase the open park and green space
footprint of the project, going a long way towards completing the
interconnected green loop proposed for the site. More ground -floor retail
space, both on the external boundary roadway of NW 12th Avenue as well
as facing the internal greens and vehicular streets, will be added.
Finally, Phase 4 —on the NW part of the site— will complete the
development program by achieving the total number of dwelling units,
office square footage, and retail space proposed for the site. Phase 4 will
add to and complete the proposed open park acreage, effectively closing
the interconnected network of elevated and ground -level green spaces, or
'Arts & Garden Loop', and will substantively enhance the retail experience
on NW 20th Street and NW 14th Avenue.
Phase 4 will also take on the repositioning of Fire Rescue Station 5 from
its current location to the center -North portion of the site along NW 20th
Street, and its integration to the community by its internal -and -park facing
cafe or open space.
Moreover, Phase 4 of the proposed development will have the flexibility of
transforming a part or the entire 'Community Market' into an additional
structure containing residential units or other uses.
The Proposer estimates that completing all phases of the development
and achieving the full development program, including the total green
space acreage and civic facilities, will take about 10-15 years from the
day of groundbreaking of Phase 1. It is envisioned that the construction
period of each of the phases described above will take around 3 years.
Proposer will have to go through the permitting and entitlement process,
as well as undergo the environmental remediation of the site and
demolition of existing structures, prior to Phase 1 breaking ground.
Proposer estimates this process to take about 24 months.

Financing
To develop the several phases of the project, NR Investments intends use
a combination of Proposer's equity and construction loans. Typically, the
financing structure will consist, on the one hand, of Proposer's equity for
35% of the required sources, and, on the other, of 65% of sources in the
form of a construction loan. Once each phase of the project is completed
and its operation stabilized, Proposer's construction loans will be
refinanced and replaced by longer -term debt.
Proposer intends to essentially replicate the financing structure employed
successfully in all its mixed -use developments.
For these purposes, Proposer has engaged financial services firm Walker
& Dunlop (https://www.walkerdunlop.comi), one of the largest lenders and
loan originators nationwide, with which Proposer has an ongoing
relationship since 2009. Over the years, Walker & Dunlop has secured
financing sources totaling about $1 billion for the Proposer's acquisitions
and developments, and currently is working on a pipeline of another $1
billion for NR Investments' current projects.

NR Investments — Allapattah GSA Site
Summary of Public Benefits
1. Environmental Remediation
The project will undergo the integral environmental remediation of the
site, which is currently used, among other things, as a dump facility and
largescale auto repair shop for vehicles belonging to the City's fleet.
The extensive environmental issues expected within the site will be
addressed headfirst before its redevelopment. This will have a lasting
positive impact for the community and will enable the wholesale
transformation of the site into an economic engine and outdoors/green
space hub for Allapattah and its neighboring communities.
Substantial infrastructure improvements will be part of the site's
redevelopment and revitalization, including road and sidewalk
construction, pedestrian pathway building, largescale utility connections,
and extensive, wide-ranging hardscape, streetscape, and landscape
development.
Effectively, the site will be converted from low -intensity industrial and
commercial uses to a residential, commercial, and public parks hub fully
integrated to Miami's urban fabric.
111. Arts & Garden Loop — Open Greens
Approximately 30% of the site — +5 acres — will be dedicated to
interconnected public green spaces fully open to the public, both elevated
and at street level. This will create much needed breathing green space
for Allapattah in an area that's currently heavy on industrial and
warehousing uses, effectively replacing a dump and largescale auto
repair shops.
This new network of parks and greens will contain facilities such as a
central community square, urban gardens, kids' playground, dog park,
public art, and potentially a community garden / urban farm component
for additional civic, family, and youth engagement activities.
Furthermore, it is proposed that these greens be connected in a loop that
will serve as a destination by itself, in a true, attractive, activated, and
functional urban garden setting surrounded by housing and ground -level
retail.
IV. Workforce Housing
The project will contain a 500-unit workforce housing component for
residents making between 100% and 140% AMI which will enable
teachers, nurses, EMT's, city employees, police officers, and fire fighters
— the people that serve our City — to live within Miami's urban core,
closer to their jobs, and integrated to the community's fabric.
GSA Public Benefits Summary
ONFIDENTIAL & PROPRIETARY
NR Investments will leverage its experience working alongside the City to
develop and incorporate workforce housing to their projects located within
Miami's Central Business District, just a few minutes away from the GSA
site.
V. Study House — The Library'
Central civic space centered around education and dedicated to, among
other potential uses:
• After school programs
• Continuing/adult education
• Job training workshops and programs
• Talks and lectures
• Mentoring/coaching opportunities
• Study rooms
This civic space will partner with Booker T. Washington Senior High
School, Miami -Dade College, foundations, the Miami VA Medical Center
or Jackson Memorial Hospital systems, and other non -profits to serve as a
setting for the initiatives above, becoming a focal point for civic
engagement and community development.
VI. Community Market/Open Gathering Arer
Influenced by, and taking advantage of, the neighboring produce
distribution district, which feeds a substantial portion of the food
consumed within the City of Miami, the project will create a market and
entertainment destination for Allapattah and its neighboring communities
in the form of a public promenade and outdoors space. This will be open
to the public and include:
• Events space & activation
• Food court
• Retail stands
• Produce market
• Gathering green
• Stage for performing arts and live music
• Improved hardscape and landscape
The project will be a new magnet for jobs in Allapattah that will support
the multifamily and retail components of the master development. The
project's proposed office and hotel components will bring additional
quality jobs to the area as well as foot traffic to the new businesses and
community market on site.

The development of the site itself will create thousands of jobs and millions
of dollars of tax revenue of jobs through the years. A more accurate
estimation of permanent and temporary jobs created by the development
will follow.
Vlll. Transportation
The Santa Clara Station of the Metrorail is adjacent to the site.
Santa Clara, which is generally the lowest ridership station in the system,
will transform into a modernized and enhanced transportation hub for the
project, allowing for convenient connectivity with the rest of the City and
County. This will not only improve the living experience of the project's
residents, enabling higher mobility and access to and from the site, but will
turn into a true amenity for the public park and destination components of
the development, as well an asset for the businesses and job -creators on
site.
This will also have spillover effects for the community at large, by
increasing Santa Clara's appeal and turning it into a central access point
for businesses and institutions already in the neighborhood.
IX. City of Miami Fire Rescue Station 5
Relocation of the existing City of Miami Fire Station on the corner of NW
12th Ave and NW 20th St, and integration to the community by
internal -facing cafe or open space connected to central green spaces,
along with the project's workforce component which will enable its
personnel to live fully in the community.
The proposed plan is that the Fire Station and its personnel will be an
integral part of the community's fabric and not closed off or detached from
it. This will create opportunities for civic engagement (`A Day with a
Firefighter'), training programs, youth mentoring, etc.
X. Community Transformation and Revitalization
More holistically but surely as important as any of the specific preceding
public benefits, the project will embark on a wholesale revitalization of a
substantial part of Allapattah, constituting an economic accelerator for the
area and a catalyst for further growth and development into neighboring
communities.
The project will connect Allapattah to the flourishing residential,
commercial, and retail scenes centered around Wynwood, the Miami
River, and Greater Downtown Miami. Furthermore, it will bring economic
activity and growth, and create a dynamic, expanding community west of
1-95 that will have positive ripple effects northward to Liberty City and
southward to Little Havana and Overtown, among other areas.

In this way, the project has been conceived as becoming a central, beating
heart of this section of Miami.
NR Investments in convinced that creating a rich sense of place, instilling
local pride, developing a hub for job creation, and, more broadly, providing
a vision of a bright and inclusive future for this part of the City is just as
crucial as any of the tangible benefits described before.

Economic Proposal
To secure the necessary property interests that will enable the
subsequent development of the project, Proposer intends to enter a
99-year Ground Lease with the City of Miami for the roughly 18-acre
site.
ASSUMPTIONS
Ground Lease Period 99 Years
Percentaie Rent of Revenue 6%
PERMANENT PERIOD POTENTIAL
Proposer intends to pay lease payments equal to 6.00% of the gross
revenues generated by each of the project's residential, commercial, hotel,
and retail components.
As per the proposed development program more fully described before,
Proposer estimates that over the full 99-year course of the Ground Lease,
lease payments to the City will total approximately $1.5 billion, as more fully
seen in the estimate below.
Moreover, Proposer further calculates that over the same period, the
project will generate additional property tax revenue for the City in the
amount of $3.2 billion.

Economic Proposal
CONFIDENTIAL & PROPRIETARY
This brings total revenues to the City, in terms of Proposer's lease
payments and expanded real estate tax base, to almost $4.7 billion.
As mentioned before, Proposer expects substantial environmental
remediation efforts prior to, and as a necessary condition before,
breaking ground and developing the project. At this time, the total cost of
said remediation is unknown, as is the full extent of environmental issues
which will be faced on the site.
Proposer will also incur substantial upfront infrastructure costs to adapt
the site to the proposed uses. These investments will have a markedly
positive effect for the community at large, by allowing the wholesale
transformation of the site from its present uses.
Given the broader societal benefits that will be brought about by the
environmental remediation and infrastructure investments, NR
Investments proposes to establish an agreed upon credit or
reimbursement mechanism with the City that will enable the Proposer to
face these unknown upfront costs and move ahead with the project. A
mechanism as such will help reduce the Proposer's exposure to an
acceptable risk level, especially as these costs will be fronted before
breaking ground on Phase 1, which is arguably the riskiest of the
development. It will also enable the Proposer to underwrite the project
adequately and obtain the necessary financing to initiate Phase 1 and
subsequently advance to the later stages of the project.
