I. Project Summary

Located in the Morgantown, West Virginia Metropolitan Statistical Area, City View Luxury

Apartments will be an exciting, vibrant and financially successful mixed-use development

along Gyorko Drive adjacent to University Town Centre and Monongalia County Ballpark.

Envisioning an upscale multifamily community aimed at young professionals and dinks (dual

income, no kids) that includes many onsite amenities for residents, along with first floor

retail abutting Gyorko Drive; a leasing, financing and design plan have been crafted that will

add a high density residential component to the myriad of new retail and commercial

businesses that are being currently constructed along Gyorko Drive.

The proposed programming on site has been maximized given the site’s topography,

location and market. The new development will consist of nine apartment buildings which

will contain 12,800 square feet of first floor retail along Gyorko Drive, 70,400 square feet of

structured parking and approximately 252 apartment units consisting of 428 beds, totaling

nearly 268,800 square feet of gross leasable residential space. A 6,400 square foot central

clubhouse with a full size pool and hot tub in the middle of the site will tie all nine buildings

together to create community cohesiveness and give residents a gathering place to

socialize. There will be ample docking space behind the buildings containing the first floor

retail to allow for freight shipments to the retail spaces without creating traffic issues.

City View Luxury Apartments would be the first residential project to market in Phase III of

University Town Centre’s continued development along Exit 153 off Interstate 79. Exit 153

opened to the public in September of 2016 and is the key to the next wave of development

in the Morgantown MSA.

Strategy

Keys to the Project:

Retail is situated along Gyorko Drive for prominent visibility for those traversing the

route and those attending events at Monongalia County Ballpark.

The project will benefit from recent completion of Exit 153 on Interstate 79. This

$22,000,000 project was opened to the public on September 1, 2016. Future residents

can now easily access Interstate 79 from two points: the brand new Exit 153

interchange, or from the long existing Exit 155 interchange. As pads develop along this

route of I-79, housing will become more of a necessity in this area. City View Luxury

Apartments has the ability to be first to market in this area.

Page 9: City View Feasibility Analysis

P a g e 9 | 64

Delivery of the buildings containing the first floor retail along with the completion of the

clubhouse and pool will make the remaining residential portion of the development

more attractive to potential residents. The onsite amenities will be a key selling point in

accelerating absorption of the units.

The residential buildings will be stick built overtop concrete podium construction,

offering residents covered parking at a monthly fee. This will allow the project to

recoup some construction cost for the podium through ancillary fees.

The site design promotes walkability and sociability. By having the clubhouse in the

middle of the development, it creates a community anchor for residents. The site

design also allows for traffic to flow freely in and out of the development.

Units facing to the east and northeast can be offered at a premium rental price, driving

up potential returns. Residents of these units will enjoy the best views that Monongalia

County has to offer, with a wide, panoramic shot of downtown Morgantown and

surrounding areas.

The development will feature elevations and exterior finishes with unique architectural

accents to promote curb appeal and desirability.

II. Site Analysis

Location

The development site for this development is located in the city of Morgantown, West

Virginia with approximately 328 feet of excellent road frontage along Gyorko Drive, located

at the back end of University Town Center, the largest retail and commercial center in

Monongalia County. The site, labeled “Parcel C” in marketing material, has been graded,

cleared and has all utilities already on site. There are currently no structures on the site,

which was used as a construction staging area during development of nearby structures.

The proposed development has easy, immediate access to a multitude of stores,

Page 12: City View Feasibility Analysis

P a g e 12 | 64

restaurants, medical facilities, recreational destinations and major employers. The site’s

proximity to such a multitude of demand drivers along with its ease of access to Interstate

79 will make it a very attractive option to Morgantown area residents.

Page 13: City View Feasibility Analysis

P a g e 13 | 64

The development site is mostly flat, with a steep downslope on the north and northeast

boundaries of the site.

The land uses directly bordering the subject site, starting from the north and proceeding in

a clockwise direction, are as follows:

North: There are no land uses directly north of the site. The steep terrain is not suitable for

development. This allows for uninhibited panoramic views north of Morgantown and

Monongalia County. An enormous selling point for the project.

East: To the east of the site is a Courtyard by Marriott containing 107 guest rooms. The

hotel was completed and opened to the public in March of 2016.

South: To the south of the site is Monongalia County Ballpark. The stadium, which opened

in April of 2015, has a 3,500 seat capacity and hosts both the West Virginia University

baseball team and the West Virginia Black Bears of the Class A-Short Season New York-Penn

League. To the southwest is WVU Medicine University Town Centre. This medical facility is

home to many branches of WVU Medicine, including Dermatology, Podiatry, Orthopedics

and the Clark K. Sleeth Family Medicine Center. WVU plans to open a surgical pavilion by

August of 2017.i

West: Directly west of the site is a Walmart Supercenter. To the northwest is Sam’s Club.

Neighborhood Facilities

University Town Centre is the home of a multitude of retail giants including Target, Best

Buy, Barnes & Noble, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Giant Eagle, Regal Cinemas, Ulta Beauty, Five

Below, Petco, Bed Bath & Beyond and GameStop. In addition to these businesses, multiple

restaurants are within a half mile of the site including Firehouse Subs, Cheddar’s Scratch

Kitchen, Cracker Barrel, Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, Red Lobster, Chili’s and

Chipotle.

Page 14: City View Feasibility Analysis

P a g e 14 | 64

Located on the northwestern section of the Exit 155 interchange of Interstate 79 is The

Gateway, a retail development consisting of Triple S Harley Davidson, Hobby Lobby, The

Greene Turtle and multiple hotels. More projects are currently in pre-development.

New businesses projected to open in 2017 within a half mile of the site are Buffalo Wild

Wings, Fusion Steakhouse, Los Mariachis, Wendy’s, Hampton Inn and Star Furniture.

Availability of Public and Private Transit

The nearest bus stop is provided by the Mountain Line Transit Authority and is located at

the adjacent Walmart Supercenter. This bus route, named Route 11 Cassville, runs every 45

minutes on the weekdays with limited service on Sundays. This public transportation

service will greatly appeal to residents without vehicles, as this bus route stops near the

WVU Downtown Campus and Walnut Street Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) Station which

gives residents access to other areas of the Morgantown MSA. In addition to public

transportation, the site is also serviced by the area taxi services and Uber’s private driving

service, UberX. Access to these types of transportation is another huge plus for the

development site’s location.

Zoning/Regulatory Conditions

There is currently no zoning, and by right development is permitted.

Current and Future Development

The new development in proximity to City View is being funded by tax increment financing

(TIF), real estate taxation and bond debt. Given the challenging terrain in the Morgantown

MSA, the pad development around the Exit 153 interchange represents some of the best

remaining developed acreage in the county. The future development plans were met with

great enthusiasm by local and state leaders. Exhibit 2 shows the current development plan

and businesses for Phase III of University Town Centre development. Exhibit 3 shows the

development plan for the all of the remaining buildable land surrounding Exit 153. Right

now, there is no residential component planned for any of the available pad sites. It is

expected that multiple more businesses, in addition to the ones listed in in Exhibit 2, will

relocate or expand to the new development pads, bringing more jobs and more potential

residents to the immediate area. The absorption of units at City View will hinge upon the

continued development of these site pads. National carrier FedEx recently completed a

105,000 square foot distribution center that is easily accessible from Exit 153.iv It was

recently announced that a Fortune 500 company will be building its new headquarters at

the development, although the company has yet to be named.v The Gateway, a retail

development located a mile from the subject site at Exit 155, currently has outparcels

available for sale. The development is home to Triple S Harley Davidson, The Greene Turtle,

Hobby Lobby and multiple hotels. Exhibit 4 shows an aerial of the entire development area

as of May, 2016, including Mylan Park and the location of The Mountaineer Center, the

county’s new state of the art aquatic facility. This facility will have an Olympic size pool,

water slides, diving boards and other equipment geared towards indoor watersports.vi

Proposed completion is year 2017. Mylan Park contains 300 acres of recreation, social and

educational facilities in addition to multiple employers at the Mylan Park Business Park.

Mylan Park and The Mountaineer Center represent more nearby amenities that will be an

attractive draw for potential residents at City View.

III. Development Plan and Design

Traffic, Circulation and Parking

Overview

The proposed development plan for City View will add the first residential component to

the new Exit 153 interchange development. Gyorko Drive will continue to see an increase is

vehicular traffic as more businesses open along the route and along the interchange. The

development site currently has great automobile access. The site design for City View is set

up in a way to allow for easy vehicular access for those wanting to visit the onsite retail, or

for those living at the complex.

Traffic

The primary access point to City View is in the center of the southern property boundary

along Gyorko Drive. This primary access is easily accessible from Gyorko Drive, as it is a four

lane highway with a middle turning lane. No changes in the traffic pattern are needed.

Circulation

There will be one point of ingress and egress to the development. Vehicles will enter at the

main entrance, travel in a semicircle and exit at the main entrance.

Parking

There will be an ample amount of parking situated on the site. At the entrance, angled

parking spaces will flank both sides of the street to allow for retail parking. The buildings

with first floor retail will be placed along the Gyorko Drive road frontage with a 60-foot

buffer from the larger residential buildings on the back of the development site to allow for

parking and freight off-loading. Each large 64’ x 200’ residential building will have one story

of concrete podium parking. Each podium garage will have a maximum of 38 parking spaces

as shown in Exhibit 5.

Page 25: City View Feasibility Analysis

P a g e 25 | 64

Exhibit 5: Podium Parking Layout

There will also be parking along the front of each apartment building in an effort to

maximize site loading. Given the location of the development and the lack of multiple

public transportation options in the market, having as many parking spaces as possible is

ideal, as many residents will be using a vehicle as their main mode of transportation.

Exhibit 6: Monongalia County Parking Requirements

Unit Type Parking Requirement

1 Bedroom Unit 1 Space Per Unit

2 Bedroom Unit 1.6 Spaces Per Unit

3 Bedroom Unit 1.8 Spaces Per Unit

Retail 3 Spaces Per 1,000 SF

Based on the above ratios and the amount of retail and residential to be included in the

development, Exhibit 6 displays the required parking ratios, and Exhibit 7 displays the

amount of parking the development will need based on unit count. The development plan

was designed to maximize as much square footage as possible while still being able to

satisfy the intended parking requirements.

Unit Type Spaces Needed

1 Bedroom Unit 101

2 Bedroom Unit 201

3 Bedroom Unit 45

Retail 38

Page 26: City View Feasibility Analysis

P a g e 26 | 64

Given the current development plan, 386 parking spaces will be needed to satisfy the

parking requirements. The current site plan calls for approximately 416 parking spaces. 209

spaces of street parking and 207 spaces of premium covered podium parking.

Architecture and Landscape

The development will have great curb appeal along Gyorko Drive. The retail store fronts will

have backlit logos and the front elevation of the retail-anchored buildings will be of a

unique architectural design. The residential buildings will have architectural accents and

features that are not typically found in the Morgantown market that will reflect the

development’s quality. Landscaping will be typical of what is seen in the market.

LEED

LEED certified construction materials will be used where applicable with the ability to value

engineer. No minimum green building standard is required to be met.

IV. Market Analysis

National Economyvii

The U.S economy is currently on a self-sustaining growth path that should continue well

into 2017. The economy is predicted to have grown by 1.4 percent this year, with an

expected gain of 2 percent in 2017. Job growth is steady with 150,000 to 200,000 job hires

per month in 2016. Housing prices are currently up 5 percent, and are expected to increase

by 6 percent in 2017. The national unemployment rate sits at a little under 5 percent, which

is the lowest rate since the pre-recession years.

Local Economic Context

The total population in Monongalia County, West Virginia in the 2010 Census was 96,189.

The population of the Morgantown MSA, which includes Monongalia County and Preston

County to the east was 129,709 in 2010.viii The estimated population for Monongalia

County was 104,236 in 2015 with an average median age of 29.9. These numbers represent

an increase of over 8,000 county residents within the past five years. Exhibit 8 shows the

Page 27: City View Feasibility Analysis

P a g e 27 | 64

age makeup in the county. Exhibit 9 shows the age makeup in the city of Morgantown. A

large percentage of Morgantown’s population is between the ages of 15 to 24. This can be

attributed to the students at West Virginia University that are permanent residents. City

View will have units that will appeal to those students either finishing up their

undergraduate degrees or those working towards their graduate degrees that are looking

for a quieter, higher end housing option off campus.

Exhibit 10: Population Trend in Monongalia County

x

Monongalia County has seen a steady increase in population since 1970. As of 2015, the

county’s population was 104,236. This growth trend is the exception in the state of West

Virginia, where the vast majority of counties are losing population. Forecasts for the county

show an expected growth of 1.4 percent annually, which would make it the fastest growing

county over the next 20 years.xi The county is expected to add at least 10,000 new residents

between now and 2030 as development continues. This positive trend in population bodes well

for the future success and absorption of units at City View.

Population of the City of Morgantown

Page 29: City View Feasibility Analysis

P a g e 29 | 64

The City of Morgantown had a population of 29,660 as of the 2010 Census. The estimated

population as of 2015 was 30,708, an increase in population of 1,048 in the past five years.

The growth of Morgantown can be attributed to the growth of major employers in the area.

Within the past 20 years, WVU and WVU Medicine have greatly expanded operations while

Mylan Pharmaceuticals has grown into one of the largest maker of generic drugs in the

United States.

Exhibit 12: Unemployment Trend in Monongalia County

xii

The unemployment rate in Monongalia County saw an uptick in 2012, but has since leveled

off around 5.0 percent, which is in line with the national average. The Morgantown MSA

consistently ranks as the lowest metro area in the state in terms of unemployment.

Income

Monongalia County ranks fourth in Per Capita Income and eight in Median Household

Income in the state of West Virginia.xiii In Monongalia County, 39.1 percent of households

have an income between $50,000 and $149,999. If an individual in this income range were

to spend 28 percent of their household income on housing, they would be able to afford a

monthly rental payment between $1,166 and $3,500. This is the segment of the population

that City View will appeal to as an attractive housing option.

Exhibit 13: Households by Income in Monongalia County

Exhibits 13 and 14 show the discrepancy in income distribution between Monongalia

County and the city of Morgantown. Many of the city’s residents are permanent college

students with little income, which brings down the city’s median income and household

income statistics, creating an inaccurate picture as to the city’s economic health. Many

permanent students have their housing costs subsidized by other means (loans, family,

etc.). However, the family median income in the city of Morgantown is $72,213, which puts

the city $7,628 above the family median income of the United States. This family median

income amount is indicative of the strong workforce amongst families within the city.

V. Residential Market Overview

Exhibit 15: Housing by Tenure in Monongalia Countyxiv

Owner Occupied 55.66%

Renter Occupied 44.34%

HOUSING BY TENURE - MONONGALIA COUNTY

Owner Occupied 41.62%

Renter Occupied 58.38%

HOUSING BY TENURE - CITY OF MORGANTOWN

The City of Morgantown has a large number of residents that are renters, with 58.38

percent of units being renter-occupied, mainly due to the amount of WVU students who live

within the city limits. When the entire county is taken into consideration, owner vs. renter

is more evenly distributed. Based on the information provided by the U.S. Census, the

market area rental housing stock has a diverse selection of all housing types. In Monongalia

County and the city of Morgantown, 1-unit single-family detached homes are the most

prevalent, with approximately 21,850 housing units and 5,450 housing units, respectively.

The age of the housing stock in Monongalia County is diverse, with every decade since the

1930s being well represented in Exhibit 17. However, within the city of Morgantown, a

large share of the housing stock is obsolete. Over 60 percent of the housing stock within

the city limits was built prior to 1969. The city, via its comprehensive plan, is taking steps to

2013 to today, the city of Morgantown has seen over 4,000 beds added to the market to

meet the increasing demand for quality student housing. This, in turn, has greatly affected

the rental vacancy rate within the city, mainly with Class ‘C’ student housing properties and

student housing located outside of the city limits. Yet, even with this rise in vacancy rates

within the city limits, potential returns on the project will not be negatively affected, as this

increase in housing stock has all been aimed to provide more quality student housing

options. The student housing market is not the market City View is trying to capture;

therefore, the increase in the vacancy rate is not a cause for concern.

Survey of General Occupancy Rental Communities

For the competitive analysis, four rental properties were evaluated within a six-mile radius

of the subject site. Age-restricted communities, subsidized communities and tax credit

properties were not included in the analysis. Only one complex dedicated to student

housing was included in this analysis, The Domain at Town Centre, because it is located

within close proximity of the subject site and has a slight mix of market renters (Comparable

Property #1). For rent by owner units were also not included in this analysis. Currently, the

Morgantown MSA lacks a variety of higher end rental communities aimed at the non-

eastern boundary of Morgantown. Whisper Creek is property #4 in Exhibit 19.

Location of Communities

Exhibit 19: Location of Comparable and Competing Communities in Relation to Subject Site

All competition is to the north and east of the subject site. City View will be the community

in closest proximity to the new Exit 153 interchange development and only the second

community in greater Morgantown area built in the last ten years that is marketed toward

the non-student population after Whisper Creek, which is still under development. This

would allow the community to be the first to the market to cater to employees of the many

businesses that will be located on Gyorko Drive and around Exit 153 as the development

continues to grow.

Proposed New Residential Developmentxvii

There is one large student housing development currently in the pipeline within Monongalia

County. It is located in downtown Morgantown and its target market will be WVU students.

This development will not be considered direct competition to City View.

Current Development Pipeline

Whisper Creek Apartments is the only residential apartment community currently under

development. The second phase of the project is now underway. There is one residential

community beginning site work, Newberry Place, which will be a five-story, 100,000 square

foot apartment complex designed to accommodate residents with disabilities.xviii This

project will be 100 units.xix Current plans do not call for any onsite amenities. There are no

other multi-family development projects in the pipeline within 15 miles of the subject site.

Residential Vision

Monongalia County has experienced a large amount of new construction over the past 20

years. However, the residential housing stock for young professionals, dinks and empty

nesters has been neglected in favor of construction aimed at WVU students. Many young

professionals and dinks have been relegated to older apartment and townhome rentals

with less upscale finishes, aging appliances and no onsite amenities. Empty nesters have

had no choice but to stay in a home they no longer desire to maintain. City View will fill a

void in the market by offering the young professional, dink and empty nester segment a

Page 37: City View Feasibility Analysis

P a g e 37 | 64

new appealing housing option in close proximity to shopping, healthcare and

entertainment. The community will be a modern, upscale community with a variety of

onsite amenities including a pool and hot tub, secured parking, business center and an

exercise room. The proposed rents will be at the high-end of the market, reflecting the

quality of construction, ideal location adjacent to business and retail, proximity to Interstate

79 and amenities located onsite.

VI. Retail Market Overviewxx

National Retail

The national retail market is slowly emerging from the depths of the recession. According

to data from the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries, U.S. metropolitan

areas added just 6.5 million square feet of new retail construction in 2013, and 8 million

square feet will be added by the end of 2014. REIS recently reported that the national

vacancy rate for neighborhood and community shopping centers was 10.3 percent.

Countless retailers remain susceptible to the increasing popularity of online retail. Online

retailer, Amazon, currently has the seventh most popular website according to traffic

rankings by Alexa.com.xxi

Local Retail

The Morgantown MSA has seen the development of two large retail centers within the last

10 years. University Town Centre, which is adjacent to the subject site, is the home of

multiple retail giants, which were mentioned earlier in this report. Suncrest Town Center,

located 2.8 miles from the subject site, is the home to retail businesses such as Kroger, Five

Guys, Buffalo Wild Wings, Jos A. Bank, PNC Bank and SunTan City. Both developments are

considered “Large Neighborhood Centers” by the International Council of Shopping

Centers.xxii Both developments have enjoyed a great absorption rate, and there is only

2,100 square feet of available space between the two retail centers according to

Loopnet.com.

Page 38: City View Feasibility Analysis

P a g e 38 | 64

Approximately 19,500 square feet of retail space is currently being constructed at Fort

Pierpont, a new neighborhood center located off Exit 7 off Interstate 68 near the Cheat Lake

area. This project is located 5.60 miles from the subject site, in the eastern part of

Monongalia County. It would not be considered a direct competitor to the retail space at

City View given its location on the eastern side of the greater Morgantown area.

Proposed New Retail Development

Future development in the Morgantown MSA will continue along Gyorko Drive as illustrated

in Section II of the analysis. Wendy’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Star Furniture, Fusion

Steakhouse, Los Mariachis, Hampton Inn and a Ford/Kia dealership are either under

construction or projected to begin construction within the next year. 5,509 square feet of

ground floor retail is planned along Maple Drivexxiii, which is 2.4 miles from the subject site

in the North Hills area of Morgantown.

Retail Vision

Given the development’s proximity to Monongalia County Ballpark, the vision is to provide

highly visible retail space for those traveling Gyorko Drive and to provide a few places for

visitors to hang out before or after events at the ballpark. In 2016, WVU’s baseball team

had 24 games at the ballpark, while the West Virginia Black Bears at 40 games at the

ballpark. The retail space is easily walkable from Gate A at the ballpark. See Exhibit 23.

Including miscellaneous events at the ballpark, there are over 70 days of the year where

ballpark foot traffic will be walking past the retail space in additional to the vehicular traffic.

This exposure will help drive customers to the retail businesses at City View. Being in close

proximity to the ballpark will also give these businesses the potential opportunity to do

some cross promotions with the WVU baseball team or the West Virginia Black Bears to

drive foot traffic before and after games.

Page 39: City View Feasibility Analysis

P a g e 39 | 64

Exhibit 23: Retail Proximity to Monongalia County Ballpark Entrance

The amount of retail, 11,520 total square feet of leasable space is a modest amount meant

to attract smaller retailers that will draw business from onsite residents, visitors to the

ballpark, employees at the WVU UTC and hotel guests at the adjacent Courtyard Marriott.

The intended first floor retail space along Gyorko Drive also creates a synergistic use, as the

remaining development pads along Gyorko Drive are retail/commercial. Lastly, the fact that

University Town Centre currently has zero vacancies bodes well for the marketability of the

retail space at City View. Top end retail space in the market has been leasing at anywhere

from $22 per square foot to $40 per square foot for trophy space.xxiv Namely, Starbucks and

Chipotle recently signed long term leases at >$35 per square foot. The projected rental rate

for the retail space will be $26.00 per square foot with a gross lease structure based off of

current asking rents.

VII. Financial Analysis

Introduction

City View Luxury Apartments is a financially viable development with strong cash flow

potential. Throughout the financial analysis, a moderate approach is taken with the

projected rents and the future income factor assumptions to demonstrate the performance

strength of the project. The analysis covers the project through the first two phases of

construction, lease-up and ten years of stabilized operation of the asset.

The financial analysis will assume a disposition in year 2024, five years after the completion

of Phase Two, and disposition in year 2029, ten years after completion of Phase Two. Given

the future development growth around Exit 153 over the next ten years, an assumed exit

cap rate for the project will be seven percent. However, given the project’s cash flow

potential and growing market, a long-term hold position is advised.

The project will begin its due diligence and entitlements period in November 2016. Given

the lack of permitting needed to begin initial site work, pre-construction and development

will begin in the first quarter of 2017 with roughly a 9-12 month construction timeline. The

first phase of the project will include the construction of Building One, Building Two,

Building Three, Building Four and the Clubhouse. Initial infrastructure will be completed

during this phase of construction. The estimated cost of development for Phase One is

approximately $21,300,000. Substantial completion is estimated to be in December 2017.

Phase Two will begin construction immediately following substantial completion of Phase

One, with an estimated start date in January of 2018. Construction on Phase Two is

expected to take 12 months, with substantial completion in December of 2018. This phase

of construction will include the construction of Building Five, Six, Seven, Eight and Nine as

well as any remaining site work items. The estimated construction cost for Phase Two is

approximately $18,700,000. It is estimated that full lease up of the entire development will

take 24 months, with project stabilization in December of 2019.

costs. With the addition of onsite, financing and capitalized costs, the total development

cost for City View over two phases of construction is approximately $40,000,000. A

development fee has not been added to the project. It is projected that there will not be

any offsite work required, as no community benefit agreements are expected, nor any road

improvements to Gyorko Drive.

Rents

Given the amenities onsite and the development’s location adjacent to Wal-Mart,

Monongalia County Ballpark, WVU UTC and other demand drivers, we can command top

tier rents in the market. The further expansion and development of businesses along Exit

153 with keep demand strong through asset operation allowing for future positive rent

adjustments. The bedroom mix will be 40 percent 1BR/1BA units, 50 percent 2BR/2BA units

and 10 percent 3BR/3BA units. A two-bedroom, two-bath unit is the most in demand unit

type in Morgantown, according it landlords in the area.

PROJECTED RENTS

Exhibit 38 shows the total potential development income at full stabilization minus ancillary

fees. Exhibit 39 shows the total income produced by the apartment units with a vacancy

and credit loss factor of 5.5 percent factored into the analysis. It is projected that the

development will make approximately $167,000 a year in ancillary income from late fees,

forfeited depositions and miscellaneous fees related to operation of the apartment units.

The project’s gross potential rent in 2019 will be approximately $3,918,000.

Exhibit 44 determines both the before and after tax sale proceed returns. It also accounts

for accumulated depreciation at time of sale and the project’s adjusted basis. A seven

percent capitalization rate was used to determine the sales price for the asset. The total

gain from the asset in 2024 is nearly $19,000,000 and nearly $28,000,000 in 2029 indicating

a substantial net gain on investment when depreciation is taken into account.

Conclusion

In conclusion, City View Luxury Apartments has the potential to be a great long term

investment opportunity. The vision for the development takes advantage of its topography,

location and surrounding market. With its ideal location in close proximity to the new

Interstate 153 interchange and with the continued development of this portion of

Monongalia County, this development project has the potential to be a very profitable for

an investor’s portfolio, provides a new and exciting housing option for young professionals,

dinks and empty nesters and would be a great long-term addition to the Morgantown MSA.
