Superior results through unrivaled hospitality intelligence. Everywhere.
The subject of the feasibility study is a 30,045-square-foot (0.69-acre) site to be improved with a full-service lodging facility; the hotel will be associated with the Holiday Inn brand. The subject site is currently cleared and ready for development. The property, which is expected to open on July 1, 2020, will feature 207 rooms, a restaurant and lounge, 1,285 square feet of meeting space, an outdoor pool, an outdoor whirlpool, a pool bar with covered seating, a fitness center, a business center, ground floor retail/office space (4,669 square feet), and a vending area. The hotel will also contain the appropriate parking capacity (139 ) and all necessary back-of-the-house space.
RENDERING OF PROJECT
The subject site’s location is 410 Northeast 35th Terrace, Miami, Florida 33137.
The effective date of the report is November 5, 2018. The subject site was inspected by Donald C. Stephens Jr. on October 10, 2018.
Considering the advanced stage of the proposed subject hotel in the development cycle, we have assumed a 3-month pre-development period allowing for brand procurement, finalizing design, and securing regulatory approvals and permitting, followed by a 17-month construction period including pre-opening, as shown in the following table.

The forecasts of occupancy, average rate, and resulting RevPAR’s reflects years beginning on July 1, 2020, which corresponds with our expected date of opening. An adequate period of time should be allocated in order to solve any potential operational issues that may occur before the peak demand season begins in 2021.
The developer of the proposed subject hotel is Edgewater Hotel Management LLC; the parent company of this owning partnership is Santori Land LLC, which is based in Miami, Florida. Through an assemblage of six lots, the subject site was last sold on June 18, 2015 for a recorded price of $2,725,000 (OR Book 29675, Page 0890). Through a number of subsequent inter-company transactions, including partner buyback agreements, related holding costs and interest expense, the developer indicates that the subject site's land cost is $7,276,000 or $35,150 per planned unit; the price appears to have been an arm's-length transaction and was not subject to any concessions. The site is neither listed nor under contract for sale, and we have no knowledge of any recent listings.
Details pertaining to management terms were not yet determined at the time of this report; however, we assume that the proposed hotel will be managed by a professional hotel-operating company, with fees deducted at rates consistent with current market standards. We have assumed a market-appropriate total management fee of 3.0% of total revenues in our study.
The proposed subject hotel will operate under a franchise agreement with Holiday Hospitality Franchising, Inc., which operates as a franchisor and licensor of most InterContinental Hotels Group brand names and marks, as a Holiday Inn. We have reviewed the terms of the agreement, dated June 27, 2018, which span 20 years after the hotel's opening date. In addition, we reviewed an amendment to the agreement that defines an "advertising assistance allowance" that effectively reduces royalty fees over the first three years of the term. The proposed subject hotel's franchise agreement calls for a royalty fee of 3.0% of rooms revenue for the first year, 4.0% during the second and third year, and 5.0% for the remainder of the term. A marketing assessment fee of 3.0% of rooms revenue is also stipulated throughout the duration of the agreement.
The STR Trend Report that we custom-ordered for this assignment includes seven (7) upper-midscale and upscale properties collectively containing 1,265 rooms. These properties offer an array of facilities and include select-, full-service, and extended-stay hotels. Of this total, 45% of the rooms are positioned in the upper-midscale price/quality tier, while 55% is positioned in the upscale tier group.
The following table provides a historical perspective on the supply and demand trends for a selected set of hotels, as provided by STR.

Positive annual growth in revenue-per-available-room (RevPAR) has brought the competitive market to performance levels not seen in some time. RevPAR has been on an increasing trajectory since 2012 with strong year-over-year gains. However, with the introduction of new competitive supply in early 2016 and 2017 resulted in
a continued compression of average daily rate (ADR) growth - on an aggregate basis. In fact, on a rolling 12-month basis ADR’s have remained relatively flat since early-2015 at roughly $157. More recent, ADR’s are signaling improvements and are currently averaging approximately $164 on a rolling basis in 2018.
Over the evaluation period, available room nights (supply) has increased an average 7.9% per year while occupied room nights (demand) increased at a compounded annual average growth rate of 10.3%. With above inflationary ADR growth over the review period, RevPAR exceeded expectation by increasing a strong 5.5% per year since 2012.
Available Room Nights Occupied Room Nights Occupancy
Performance data shown for this selected set of competitive hotels begin in 2012 with the recent opening of two competitive hotels; the 221-room Hampton by Hilton Brickell Downtown (September 2011), and the 160-room Aloft Hotel Miami Brickell (August 2011). As shown, this new supply was completely absorbed by the market, resulting in increasing occupancy rates, ADR's, and RevPAR's in 2013 and 2014. The positive trend in RevPAR continued in 2015, with growth driven largely by a strong recovery of the national and local economies, as well as the increase of international visitation to Miami-Dade County. In 2016, the hotel industry in the greater Miami area was negatively affected by factors such as the Zika virus scare, the increase in room inventory, and the decline in visitation from two of the largest international markets (Canada and Brazil) due to the strength of the U.S. dollar. With the next influx of new inventory occurring in 2016, average rate compressed slightly by the end of the year. Attributed to accepting lower rated group business as the property
opened right after the peak season ended, the new 102-room Homewood Suites more recently was replaced by higher ADR corporate demand. Data for 2017 illustrate a significant increase in supply-induced demand and a small decline in average rate, resulting in a healthy increase in RevPAR despite the negative effects of Hurricane Irma, which struck Miami in September 2017. The trailing twelve-month data and the year-to-date data through August 2018 illustrate strong increases in all three indices.
Year-to-date 2018 data illustrate continued strengthening in occupancy, up 3.9 percentage points, and a roughly $12.60 gain in average rate. RevPAR reached its high point in the summer of 2018. The entrance of new, high-rated supply and the overall strong economy have contributed to the latest trend. The near-term outlook is cautionary due to the influx of new supply expected in the near term within the competitive submarket. Notwithstanding, demand remains positive as International visitation is strong and is expected to grow further.
On a 12-month rolling basis, RevPAR’s performance peaked in August 2018 at $138.76, largely driven by supply-induced demand increases that began with the introduction of the 151-room Hampton Inn & Suites Miami Midtown in early 2017, and significant average rate increase beginning in September 2017. Highlighted by 2018’s peak season year-over-year average rate gain of roughly $13.50, RevPAR is up 13.2% over the same 8-month period last year. It is important to note that with the opening of the new Hampton Inn & Suites all three indices, on an aggregate basis, increased. We expect this to continue as the hotel advances toward stabilization.
FIGURE 1-7 AVERAGE DAILY RATE – 12-MONTH MOVING AVERAGE
A key observation from the historical data is that when new supply entered the market, whether it was new construction or newly renovated hotels, demand for hotel rooms exceeded supply. As such, new supply is being absorbed rapidly into the market suggesting that significant unaccommodated demand during peak seasonal demand periods is present. Market participants appear confident that going forward RevPAR increases will be in the form of modest average rate gains through aggressive yield management amid steady growth in room night demand levels.
The following tables reflect our estimates of operating data for hotels on an individual basis. Specific occupancy and average rate data were utilized in our analysis but are presented in ranges for the purposes of confidentiality. These trends are presented in detail in the Supply and Demand Analysis chapter of this report.

* Specific occupancy and average rate data were utilized in our analysis, but are presented in ranges in the above table for the purposes of confidentiality.
Rate positioning considers, among other factors, the quality of the site and the proposed project, selected branding, on- and off-site amenities, and the level of service offered. The subject hotel will incorporate the highest compliance standards under the internationally-recognized Holiday Inn brand. We assume that the proposed hotel will be managed by a competent hotel management team familiar with operational experience in South Florida. Our financial forecasts contained in this study are based on the development vision, as articulated herein, being executed.
Based on our analysis presented in the Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate chapter, we have chosen to use a stabilized occupancy level of 78% and a base-year (2017) rate position of $142.50 for the proposed subject hotel.
A new property must establish its reputation and a client base in the market during its ramp-up period; as such, the proposed subject hotel’s average rates in the initial operating period have been discounted to reflect this likelihood. We forecast 5.0% and 2.5% discounts to the proposed subject hotel’s forecast room rates in the first two operating years, which would be typical for a new operation of this type.
The following table reflects a summary of our market-wide and proposed subject hotel occupancy and average rate projections.

FIGURE 1-1 FORECAST OF REVENUE AND EXPENSE CONCLUSION
The following table presents a detailed forecast through the fifth projection year, including amounts per available room and per occupied room. The second table illustrates our ten-year forecast of income and expense, presented with a lesser degree of detail. The forecasts pertain to years that begin on July 1, 2020, expressed in inflated dollars for each year.
As illustrated, the proposed subject hotel is expected to stabilize at a profitable level. Please refer to the Forecast of Income and Expense chapter of our report for a detailed explanation of the methodology used in deriving this forecast.
The Feasibility Analysis chapter of this report converts these cash flows into a net present value indication assuming set-forth debt and equity requirements. The conclusion of this analysis indicates that an equity investor contributing $15,312,000 (roughly 35% of the $43,800,000 development cost) could expect to receive a 17.1% internal rate of return over a ten-year holding period, assuming that the investor obtains financing at the time of the project’s completion at the loan-to-value ratio and interest rate set forth. The proposed subject hotel has an opportunity to serve a growing demand base in the northern "downtown" market. This market offers a wide complement of branded, select-service and extended-stay hotels; however, the Midtown district remains underserved by full-service lodging facilities, particularly within the IHG family. Based on our market analysis, there is sufficient market support for the proposed Holiday Inn hotel. Our conclusions are based primarily on the long-term strength of this hotel market combined with the current and anticipated demand growth in the Miami Midtown submarket. Our review of investor surveys indicates equity returns ranging from 12.7% to 22.9%, with an average of 17.2% for full-service assets. Based on these parameters, the calculated return to the equity investor, 17.1%, is consistent with the average and within the range of market-level returns given the anticipated cost of $43,800,000. In conclusion, the feasibility of the subject project is confirmed.
“Extraordinary Assumption” is defined in USPAP as follows:
An assignment-specific assumption as of the effective date regarding uncertain information used in an analysis which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions. Comment: Uncertain information might include physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property; or conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or the integrity of data used in an analysis.1
The analysis is based on the extraordinary assumption that the described improvements have been completed as of the prospective "when complete" date of value. The reader should understand that the completed subject property does not yet exist as of the date of appraisal. Our appraisal does not address unforeseeable events that could alter the proposed project, and/or the market conditions reflected in the analyses; we assume that no significant changes, other than those anticipated and explained in this report, shall take place between the date of inspection and date of prospective value. The use of this extraordinary assumption may have affected the assignment results. Several important general assumptions have been made
1 The Appraisal Foundation, Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, 2018–2019
that apply to this feasibility study. These aspects are set forth in the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions chapter of this report.
According to IHG’s regional representative, Mr. John Johnson, and our discussions with the developer of the proposed subject hotel, the 200-room Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown will be decommissioned in the near term clearing the way for site redevelopment. The World Trade Center of The Americas is slated to replace the Holiday Inn (see opposite rendering). According to public reports, the World Trade Center of the Americas is approved by the city as a 77-story tower with 400 residential units, 100 hotel rooms, 246,529 square feet of office space, and 516 parking spaces.
While a definitive date has yet to be formally announced by the owner/developer, it appears closure is imminent. As such, this analysis is based on the extraordinary assumption that the existing Holiday Inn will close operations on or before 3Q 2019; specifically, we have used a prospective closure date of July 1, 2019. Any departure from this assumption will significantly impact forecasted operating performance results contained in this feasibility study.
This feasibility report is being prepared for use in the development of the proposed subject hotel.

Conclusion
November-2018 Market Area Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 33
3. Market Area Analysis
The economic vitality of the market area and neighborhood surrounding the subject site is an important consideration in forecasting lodging demand and future income potential. Economic and demographic trends that reflect the amount of visitation provide a basis from which to project lodging demand. The purpose of the market area analysis is to review available economic and demographic data to determine whether the local market will undergo economic growth, stabilize, or decline. In addition to predicting the direction of the economy, the rate of change must be quantified. These trends are then correlated based on their propensity to reflect variations in lodging demand, with the objective of forecasting the amount of growth or decline in visitation by individual market segment (e.g., commercial, meeting and group, and leisure).
The market area for a lodging facility is the geographical region where the sources of demand and the competitive supply are located. The subject site is located in the city of Miami, the county of Miami-Dade, and the state of Florida.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
Market Area Definition
November-2018 Market Area Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 34
Miami boasts a metropolitan area that includes several unincorporated areas and 35 incorporated areas or municipalities, all of which make up the majority of Miami-Dade County. The eastern portion of the city lies on the shores of Biscayne Bay, which contains several hundred natural and artificially created barrier islands, the largest of which contains Miami Beach and South Beach. The Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current, runs northward just 15 miles off the coast, allowing the city's climate to stay warm and mild all year. While tourism continues to be the principal industry, Miami has developed an increasingly diversified economy in recent years, making it a global city and the “Gateway to the Americas.” The region has emerged as a center for international tourism, banking, foreign trade, entertainment, technology, and distribution. Miami serves as the headquarters of Latin American operations for many multinational corporations, and the Miami International Airport and the Port of Miami are among the nation's busiest ports of entry, especially for cargo from South America and the Caribbean.
The subject property’s market area can be defined by its Combined Statistical Area (CSA): Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Port St. Lucie, FL. The CSA represents adjacent metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas that have a moderate degree of employment interchange. Micropolitan statistical areas represent urban areas in the United States based around a core city or town with a population of 10,000 to 49,999; the MSA requires the presence of a core city of at least 50,000 people and a total population of at least 100,000 (75,000 in New England).

The U.S. population has grown at an average annual compounded rate of 0.7% from 2010 through 2016. The county’s population has increased at a quicker pace than the nation’s population; the average annual growth rate of 1.3% between 2010 and 2016 reflects a gradually expanding area. Following this population trend, per-capita personal income increased slowly, at 1.5% on average annually for the county between 2010 and 2016. Local wealth indexes have remained stable in recent years, registering a relatively near average 95.4 level for the county in 2016.
Food and beverage sales totaled $5,613 million in the county in 2016, versus $4,180 million in 2010. This reflects a 5.0% average annual change, which is stronger than the 3.0% pace recorded in the prior decade, the latter years of which were adversely affected by the recession. Over the long term, the pace of growth is forecast to moderate to a more sustainable level of 1.9%, which is forecast through 2020. The retail sales sector demonstrated an annual increase of 1.4% registered in the decade 2000 to 2010, followed by an increase of 3.4% in the period 2010 to 2016. An increase of 2.0% average annual change is expected in county retail sales through 2020.
The characteristics of an area's workforce provide an indication of the type and amount of transient visitation likely to be generated by local businesses. Sectors such as finance, insurance, and real estate (FIRE); wholesale trade; and services produce a considerable number of visitors who are not particularly rate-sensitive. The government sector often generates transient room nights, but per-diem reimbursement allowances often limit the accommodations selection to budget and mid-priced lodging facilities. Contributions from manufacturing, construction, transportation, communications, and public utilities (TCPU) employers can also be important, depending on the company type.
The following table sets forth the county workforce distribution by business sector in 2000, 2010, and 2016, as well as a forecast for 2020.

The following bullet points highlight major demand generators for this market:
• The area's favorable weather and the miles of beach in Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Sunny Isles, Surfside, and Bal Harbour support the area's popularity for resort-style, subtropical tourism. According to the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, 15.7 million visitors stayed at least one night in the Miami-Dade market in 2016, an increase of 1.5% over 2015 visitation levels. The increase was largely from domestic travel, which outpaced international travel after remaining relatively flat in 2013. Development of the area's attractions remains a primary objective for Miami Beach officials. One of the city's major projects in this sector is the City Center Redevelopment Project, which includes the new campus for the New World Symphony. This facility,
Major Business and Industry
November-2018 Market Area Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 44
which was designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, consists of over 100,000 square feet of technologically advanced space for performances and instruction, as well as a music library, a rooftop garden, and a parking garage. The City is also in the early planning stages of collaboration with a developer to build a convention center hotel.
• PortMiami accommodates the largest volume of cruise ships and passengers in the world and is home to many cruise-line headquarters. The Port has historically been known as the “Cruise Capital of the World” and “Cargo Gateway of the Americas.” An important economic engine for the region, PortMiami's annual economic impact on South Florida is $27 billion, supporting approximately 207,000 jobs. The Port is currently executing a 25-year master plan that will improve cargo and cruise ship areas, along with improved security and infrastructure. In 2014, the Florida Department of Transportation, in partnership with MAT Concessionaire LLC, improved vehicular access to the area by constructing a tunnel beneath the port's primary waterway, extending from Interstate 395 on Watson Island to the cruise terminal. Additionally, one of the major infrastructure improvements at PortMiami, the Deep Dredge Project, which deepened the channel from 42 feet to approximately 50 feet, was completed in September 2015. The project is expected to increase opportunities for Asian trade, as it has made PortMiami the only Eastern Seaboard port south of Norfolk, Virginia, able to accommodate mega-size cargo vessels in preparation of the expanded Panama Canal, which reopened in June 2016.
• Miami is ranked as a global city for its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, and international trade. The city is home to many company headquarters and television studios, as well as the largest concentration of international banks in the United States, with over 100 commercial banks, thrift institutions, foreign bank agencies, and hundreds of other financial management and brokerage service firms. Because of its proximity to Latin America, Miami serves as the headquarters of Latin American operations for companies such as United Parcel Service, FedEx Corporation, Discovery Networks Latin America, and Hewlett-Packard. In February 2016, NBCUniversal Telemundo, which has an existing strong presence in the Miami market, announced plans to build its global headquarters in Miami-Dade County. Construction on the $250-million, 450,000-square-foot building was completed in early 2018. Additionally, Bauducco Foods opened its U.S. headquarters in August 2016. Furthermore, companies such as Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines have a corporate presence in offices near the Miami International Airport.
Miami is experiencing a period of strong growth and expansion following the Great Recession. Private investment throughout the city has fueled significant economic growth, particularly from foreign sources. Miami recorded the fastest population
November-2018 Market Area Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 45
growth of large cities in the U.S. from 2010 to 2014, as new residents surged the city, particularly in the CBD. Furthermore, the area continues to expand its tourism attractions, and Miami remains one of the top-rated destinations in the country from both a domestic and international perspective. Construction at the Port of Miami, recent expansions at the airport, the repositioning of the Miami Beach Convention Center, and the continued growth of the residential and hospitality sectors will support the ongoing appeal of the market. Miami's global popularity as a year-round tourism destination and its location convenient for international corporations contribute to the area’s economic strength and serve as catalysts for the market's economy.
Trends in occupied office space are typically among the most reliable indicators of lodging demand, as firms that occupy office space often exhibit a strong propensity to attract commercial visitors. Thus, trends that cause changes in vacancy rates or occupied office space may have a proportional impact on commercial lodging demand and a less direct effect on meeting demand. The following table details office space statistics for the pertinent market area.

A convention center serves as a gauge of visitation trends to a particular market. Convention centers also generate significant levels of demand for area hotels and serve as a focal point for community activity. Typically, hotels within the closest proximity to a convention center—up to three miles away—will benefit the most. Hotels serving as headquarters for an event benefit the most by way of premium rates and hosting related banquet events. During the largest of conventions, peripheral hotels may benefit from compression within the city as a whole.
MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER
The Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) serves as the primary convention center for the greater Miami area. The facility features over 1,000,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, including 500,000 square feet of exhibit space, 100,000 square feet of pre-function space, and 70 meeting rooms. MBCC also offers a business center, four boardrooms, a cyber café, box offices, concessions, and a concierge desk. The Miami Beach City Commission unanimously approved project plans to move forward on a $615-million MBCC expansion and renovation project. The new, 1.4-million-square-foot, LEED-certified convention center will feature a 60,000-square-foot grand ballroom, a 20,000-square-foot glass rooftop junior ballroom, additional meeting rooms and flex space, and a multi-level 886-space parking deck. Moreover, a new six-acre public green space will replace the existing parking lot in front of the center. Upon completion, the MBCC is expected to generate an economic impact of $2.5 billion over 30 years, as well as to create approximately 5,000 temporary jobs and 1,600 permanent jobs. Phase I of the project broke ground
Convention Activity

in October 2015; completion of this phase is slated for September 2018, in time for Art Basel, with total realization after Phase III's public park and outdoor-space completion in August 2019. In May 2015, the city commission selected Portman Holdings LLC as the developer of a proposed $405-million, 800-room headquarters hotel next to the MBCC; final approval was scheduled for public vote in March 2016, but this vote rejected a ground lease for a hotel that would be linked to the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Usage statistics for the MBCC were unavailable upon request. Reportedly, the facility has continued to host major conventions and many trade and consumer shows, such as the Miami International Boat Show, the South Florida International Auto Show, and Art Basel Miami Beach; however, market participants report that activity has declined in recent years.
Airport passenger counts are important indicators of lodging demand. Depending on the type of service provided by a particular airfield, a sizable percentage of arriving passengers may require hotel accommodations. Trends showing changes in passenger counts also reflect local business activity and the overall economic health of the area.
Miami International Airport (MIA) sits on 3,230 acres in Miami-Dade County. MIA is the premier gateway between the U.S. and Latin America, making it the second-largest U.S. airport in terms of international passenger traffic and ranks first in the nation in international freight delivery. Additionally, along with Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, Miami is one of the largest aerial gateways, owing to its proximity to tourist attractions, local economic growth, large local Latin American and European populations, and unique location. MIA hit a new milestone in December 2014, becoming the only U.S. airport to offer service from 100 different airline carriers. The airport's capital improvement plan, which was completed in 2014, included a renovation and expansion of the North and South Terminals, as well as facility-wide infrastructure improvements. The North Terminal's new three-level international arrival facility opened mid-year 2012, with a new 72-lane federal inspection area capable of serving 2,000 passengers per hour. In addition, the renovation included the construction of the new Miami Intermodal Center/Car Rental Center, which opened in 2010; the facility contains all rental car services in one central location and provides improved access to local transportation options. The MIA Mover, which opened in September 2011, provides rail service from the car-rental facility to the terminal. The airport reportedly generates a $33-billion economic impact annually.
The following table illustrates recent operating statistics for the Miami International Airport, which is the primary airport facility serving the proposed subject hotel’s submarket.

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) consists of four passenger terminals with over 70 gates, restaurants, gift shops, and business centers. FLL is serviced by many major airlines that provide nonstop service to cities across the U.S. and internationally to Canada, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Mexico, Latin America, and South America. In 2010, over $52 million in improvements were completed at the airport, including an expansion of the baggage system, ramp rehabilitation, gate security enhancements, and climate-control-system upgrades. An elevated taxiway and bridge were also part of the redesign. The airport closed its north runway from May to July 2011 to complete critical construction projects and install safety enhancement features. In January 2012, construction began on a $791-million runway extension and an associated taxiway and bridge, which were completed in September 2014. Furthermore, FLL's international terminal opened on June 30, 2017, which will foster continued growth at the airport, helping to alleviate the high volumes of international traffic at the nearby Miami International Airport. Moreover, two additional connectors to link all terminals together are expected to be completed by March 2022.

Air traffic registered 32,511,053 passengers in 2017. The change in passenger traffic between 2016 and 2017 was 11.3%. The recent uptick in passenger traffic can be attributed in large part to the June 2017 opening of an international terminal at the airport, as well as increased service by major air carriers, particularly low-cost carriers such as JetBlue Airways, Spirit Airlines, and Southwest Airlines. These airlines account for two-thirds of all passenger traffic.
The Miami market benefits from a variety of tourist and leisure attractions in the area. The peak season for tourism in this area is from Christmas to Easter, although it attracts both domestic and international tourists year-round. Primary attractions in the area include the following:
• The area's beaches have been ranked as some of the best in the country, offering diverse options to accommodate people of all ages. In addition, Miami Beach is renowned for its Art Deco District, comprising the largest collection of such architecture in the world, including hundreds of hotels, apartments, and other structures that showcase the designs of the 1920s and 1930s. The South Beach section of Miami Beach is a major entertainment destination featuring a magnitude of boutique hotels, restaurants, shops, nightclubs, and bars.
• The 38-acre Miami Seaquarium offers daily shows with sea lions, dolphins, and a killer whale. In addition to the marine mammals, the Miami Seaquarium also houses fish, sharks, sea turtles, birds, reptiles, and manatees. Glass-bottom boats take tours of Biscayne Bay, and visitors can go on an underwater exploration in a 300,000-gallon tropical reef. Additionally, "Seal Swim" and "Dolphin Encounter" programs provide the opportunity for patrons to interact with the marine mammals.
• The Arsht Center is Florida’s largest performing arts center and is the second-largest performing arts center in the U.S. by area, behind only the Lincoln Center in New York City. This 540,000-square-foot facility, which opened in 2006, is located in Downtown Miami’s emerging Arts and Entertainment District and is the cornerstone of the Miami arts and culture scene.

many upscale boutiques. Miracle Mile is a popular destination for bridal shopping, as the so-called "Bridal Row" contains more than three dozen shops that cater to bridal needs, including gowns, invitations, floral designs, rings, and accessories.
MIAMI DESIGN DISTRICT
This section discussed a wide variety of economic indicators for the pertinent market area.
The Miami-Dade market is experiencing a period of economic strength and expansion, primarily led by the tourism industry and an increase in discretionary spending. The cruise-ship industry continues to thrive as a result of increasing tourism arrivals. The Miami-Fort Lauderdale area remains a primary destination in South Florida, and local economic development officials anticipate continued tourism growth and expansion. As such, the local government has made substantial investments to improve and expand the Miami International Airport and PortMiami, which anchor the tourism industry. The outlook for the market area is positive.
Our analysis of the outlook for this specific market also considers the broader context of the national economy. The U.S. economy expanded during the last three years, with a relatively low point in growth occurring during the fourth quarter of 2015. Most recently, the U.S. economy expanded by 2.2% and 4.2% in the first two quarters of 2018, respectively. The recent growth is the highest level since the third quarter of 2014. In the second quarter of 2018, non-residential fixed investment

U.S. economic growth continues to support expansion of lodging demand. In 2018, demand growth through July registered 2.9%, stronger than the 2.7% level recorded in 2017. The economic growth, low unemployment, higher levels of personal income, and stability in the U.S. economy as of mid-year 2018 is helping to maintain strong interest in hotel investments by a diverse array of market participants.

4. Supply and Demand Analysis
In the lodging industry, price varies directly, but not proportionately, with demand and inversely, but not proportionately, with supply. Supply is measured by the number of guestrooms available, and demand is measured by the number of rooms occupied; the net effect of supply and demand toward equilibrium results in a prevailing price, or average daily rate (ADR). The purpose of this section is to investigate current supply and demand trends, as indicated by the current competitive market, and to set forth a basis for the projection of future supply and demand growth.
The subject site is located in the greater Miami-Dade County lodging market. Within this greater market, the direct submarket that will include the proposed subject hotel is known as Midtown on the northern fringe of Miami's Central Business District. The proposed subject hotel is expected to compete with 7 hotels on a primary level based on location and product type.
The subject property’s local lodging market is most directly affected by the supply and demand trends within the immediate area. However, individual markets are also influenced by conditions in the national lodging market. We have reviewed national lodging trends to provide a context for the forecast of the supply and demand for the proposed subject hotel’s competitive set.
STR is an independent research firm that compiles and publishes data on the lodging industry, and this information is routinely used by typical hotel buyers. The following STR diagram presents annual hotel occupancy and ADR data since 1987. The next two tables contain information that is more recent; the data are categorized by geographical region, price point, type of location, and chain scale, and the statistics include occupancy, average rate, and rooms revenue per available room (RevPAR). RevPAR is calculated by multiplying occupancy by average rate and provides an indication of how well rooms revenue is being maximized.

Following the significant RevPAR decline experienced during the last recession, demand growth resumed in 2010, led by select markets that had recorded growth trends in the fourth quarter of 2009. A return of business travel and some group activity contributed to these positive trends. The resurgence in demand was partly fueled by the significant price discounts that were widely available in the first half of 2010. These discounting policies were largely phased out in the latter half of the year, balancing much of the early rate loss. Demand growth remained strong, but decelerated from 2011 through 2013, increasing at rates of 4.7%, 2.8%, and 2.0%, respectively. Demand growth then surged to 4.0% in 2014, driven by a strong economy, a robust oil and gas sector, and limited new supply, among other factors. By 2014, occupancy had surpassed the 64% mark. Average rate rebounded similarly during this time, bracketing 4.0% annual gains from 2011 through 2014.
In 2015, demand growth continued to outpace supply growth, a relationship that has been in place since 2010. With a 2.9% increase in room nights, the nation's occupancy level reached a record high of 65.4% in 2015. Supply growth intensified modestly in 2015 (at 1.1%), following annual supply growth levels of 0.7% and 0.9% in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Average rate posted another strong year of growth, at 4.7% in 2015, in pace with the annual growth of the last four years. Robust job growth, heightened group and leisure travel, and waning price-sensitivity all contributed to the gains. In 2016, occupancy showed virtually no change, as demand growth kept pace with supply additions. Occupancy then moved even higher in 2017, to a new peak of 65.9%. Average rate increased roughly 3% and 2% in 2016 and 2017, respectively. By year-end 2017, the net change in RevPAR was 3.0%, reflecting a healthy lodging market overall. Year-to-date statistics through September reflect a 0.4-point occupancy increase, while average rate increased by just over $3.00, resulting in a 3.1% upward change in RevPAR.
According to STR, as of December 31, 2017, the greater Miami, FL area had 428 hotels with a total of 54,787 guestrooms. These totals represent a -0.1% change over the 2016 year-end inventory of 54,823 guestrooms.
The following table presents the historical occupancy, average rate, and RevPAR data for the Miami metropolitan area for the years 2000 through 2017, as well as for the comparative year-to-date period ending in September 2017 and 2018.

Domestic and international tourism, international business, PortMiami, and the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) represent the primary sources of demand in the greater Miami market. A period of extraordinary growth at the beginning of the millennium brought an onslaught of new residents, high-rise condominium towers, commercial developments, and employers to the region. This period of growth caused RevPAR to grow between 2003 and 2007. RevPAR growth stalled beginning in the fourth quarter of in 2008, as the onset of the Great Recession took hold in the market, and declined nearly 20% in 2009 given reduced discretionary spending by tourists and a reduction in meeting and group activity. Nevertheless, the Miami market rebounded strongly from 2010 through 2015. The city’s emerging profile as a gateway city and its business climate has continued to fuel foreign
November-2018 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 61
investment. Additionally, privately funded real estate projects, contributed to rising demand levels which prompted a significant amount of new hotel supply, causing occupancy levels to stabilize in 2015 while hoteliers focused on driving average rates, equating to a RevPAR increase of 5.2% by year’s end 2015. After six straight years of strong RevPAR gains, many market-wide challenges affected overall RevPAR in 2016, including the continued increase of new supply, temporary closure of the MBCC, a decrease of foreign travelers from Russia and Brazil due to their weakening currencies, and the Zika virus, all which affected visitation to Miami. With the conclusion of the Zika virus and absorption of new supply, RevPAR was relatively unchanged in 2017. Year-to-date data through June 2018 reflect strong RevPAR growth, largely due to a stronger-than-normal peak season, an increase in international travel to Miami, and the end of the absorption of new supply that severely affected the market in 2016 and 2017. Furthermore, RevPAR is expected to continue to make strong gains given the reopening of the MBCC in late 2018.
As previously noted, STR is an independent research firm that compiles and publishes data on the lodging industry, routinely used by typical hotel buyers. HVS has ordered and analyzed an STR Trend Report of historical supply and demand data for a group of hotels considered applicable to this analysis for the proposed subject hotel. This information is presented in the following table, along with the market-wide occupancy, average rate, and rooms revenue per available room (RevPAR). RevPAR is calculated by multiplying occupancy by average rate and provides an indication of how well rooms revenue is being maximized.

It is important to note some limitations of the STR data. Hotels are occasionally added to or removed from the sample; furthermore, not every property reports data in a consistent and timely manner. These factors can influence the overall quality of the information by skewing the results, and these inconsistencies may also cause the STR data to differ from the results of our competitive survey. Nonetheless, STR data provide the best indication of aggregate growth or decline in existing supply and demand; thus, these trends have been considered in our analysis. Opening dates, as available, are presented for each reporting hotel in the previous table.
The STR Trend Report that we custom-ordered for this assignment includes seven (7) upper-midscale and upscale properties collectively containing 1,265 rooms. These properties offer an array of facilities and include select-, full-service, and extended-stay hotels. Of this total, 45% of the rooms are positioned in the upper-midscale price/quality tier, while 55% is positioned in the upscale tier group.
The STR data for the competitive set reflect a market-wide occupancy level of 2017 in 81.2%, which compares to 78.0% for 2016. The STR data for the competitive set reflect a market-wide ADR level of $157.06 in 2017, which compares to $158.15 for 2016. These occupancy and ADR trends resulted in a RevPAR level of $127.51 in 2017.

Performance data shown for this selected set of competitive hotels begin in 2012 with the recent opening of two competitive hotels; the 221-room Hampton by Hilton Brickell Downtown (September 2011), and the 160-room Aloft Hotel Miami Brickell (August 2011). As shown, this new supply was completely absorbed by the market, resulting in increasing occupancy rates, ADR's, and RevPAR's in 2013 and 2014. The positive trend in RevPAR continued in 2015, with growth driven largely by a strong recovery of the national and local economies, as well as the increase of international visitation to Miami-Dade County. In 2016, the hotel industry in the greater Miami area was negatively affected by factors such as the Zika virus scare, the increase in room inventory, and the decline in visitation from two of the largest international markets (Canada and Brazil) due to the strength of the U.S. dollar. With the next influx of new inventory occurring in 2016, average rate compressed slightly by the end of the year. Attributed to accepting lower rated group business as the property opened right after the peak season ended, the new 102-room Homewood Suites more recently was replaced by higher ADR corporate demand. Data for 2017 illustrate a significant increase in supply-induced demand and a small decline in average rate, resulting in a healthy increase in RevPAR despite the negative effects of Hurricane Irma, which struck Miami in September 2017. The trailing twelve-
November-2018 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 65
month data and the year-to-date data through August 2018 illustrate strong increases in all three indices.
Year-to-date 2018 data illustrate continued strengthening in occupancy, up 3.9 percentage points, and a roughly $12.60 gain in average rate. RevPAR reached its high point in the summer of 2018. The entrance of new, high-rated supply and the overall strong economy have contributed to the latest trend. The near-term outlook is cautionary due to the influx of new supply expected in the near term within the competitive submarket. Notwithstanding, demand remains positive as International visitation is strong and is expected to grow further.

A key observation from the historical data is that when new supply entered the market, whether it was new construction or newly renovated hotels, demand for hotel rooms exceeded supply. As such, new supply is being absorbed rapidly into the market suggesting that significant unaccommodated demand during peak seasonal demand periods is present. Market participants appear confident that going forward RevPAR increases will be in the form of modest average rate gains through aggressive yield management amid steady growth in room night demand levels.
Monthly occupancy and ADR trends are presented in the following tables. The illustrated monthly occupancy and average rates patterns reflect important seasonal characteristics. We have reviewed these trends in developing our forthcoming forecast of market-wide demand and average rate.

Based on an evaluation of the occupancy, rate structure, market orientation, chain affiliation, location, facilities, amenities, reputation, and quality of each area hotel, as well as the comments of management representatives, we have identified several properties that are expected to be primarily competitive with the proposed subject hotel. Additional lodging facilities may be judged only secondarily competitive; although the facilities, rate structures, or market orientations of these hotels prevent their inclusion among the primary competitive supply, they are expected to compete with the proposed subject hotel to some extent.
The following table summarizes the important operating characteristics of the future primary competitors. This information was compiled from personal interviews, inspections, online resources, and our in-house database of operating and hotel facility data.

MAP OF COMPETITION
Our survey of the primarily competitive hotels in the local market shows a range of lodging types and facilities. Each primary competitor was inspected and evaluated. Descriptions of our findings are presented below.
November-2018 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 76
PRIMARY COMPETITOR #1 - HAMPTON INN & SUITES BY HILTON MIAMI MIDTOWN
The Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton is located in the subject's Midtown district within the northern fringe of Miami's CBD. This hotel is the newest among the competitive set and benefits by its brand and upscale product offering. Performance levels through 2017 were lower than expected. We attribute its calendar year occupancy level (63%) due to its late opening after the peak season was wrapping up. We expect that occupancy will improve through 2018-19 (roughly 70% through August) and stabilize at levels consistent with the market. Overall, the property appeared to be in very good condition. Its accessibility is similar to that of the subject site, and its visibility is similar to the expected visibility of the Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater.

November-2018 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 77
PRIMARY COMPETITOR #2 - HOLIDAY INN PORT OF MIAMI DOWNTOWN
The Holiday Inn is located in the heart of Downtown Miami, just west of the renowned Bayside Marketplace. Overlooking Miami's Biscayne Bay, the Holiday Inn is within close proximity to the Port of Miami, American Airlines Arena, the Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, and its close proximity to many of Downtown Miami's leisure and corporate demand generators. We note that a considerable amount of the hotel's accommodated room night demand is generated by leisure travelers who stay at the hotel prior to, or immediately following, their cruise from the Port of Miami. The hotel is scheduled to be decommissioned in the near term (originally built in 1964). Overall, the property appeared to be in fair condition. Its accessibility is similar to that of the subject site, and its visibility is similar to the expected visibility of the Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater.

The Courtyard is accessible to the Metromover, which provides free transportation to most of Downtown Miami and Brickell. Overall, the property appeared to be in good condition. Its accessibility is similar to that of the subject site, and its visibility is similar to the expected visibility of the Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater.
This hotel benefits from its strong Marriott brand affiliation. The hotel is located in the core market of Brickell Miami and opened in August 2013. The advantage regarding location for the hotel is that the property is within walking distance of many of the businesses in the downtown district as well as being relatively proximate to a variety of retail outlets and restaurants.

The Hilton Garden Inn (former Hotel Urbano) is currently under renovation and is expected to be fully competitive due to its product tier and Hilton brand affiliation. The Hotel Indigo Brickell is under construction on a site located at Southwest 11th Street, approximately one mile from the subject property. Given its proximate location and similar select-service profile, this hotel has been weighted as fully competitive new supply in our analysis. The AC by Marriott Midtown will be a lifestyle, upscale, select-service hotel and is currently under construction in Midtown Miami. This hotel has been positioned as a future competitor. A number of other properties at the midscale and upper-upscale product tiers are proposed for the Downtown and Brickell submarkets of Miami. Although these hotels are not expected to compete directly with the proposed subject hotel, the volume of new supply is anticipated to reduce compression and related overflow to this submarket. Therefore, these hotels have been considered qualitatively in our positioning of the proposed subject hotel's stabilized occupancy level.
While we have taken reasonable steps to investigate proposed hotel projects and their status, due to the nature of real estate development, it is impossible to determine with certainty every hotel that will be opened in the future, or what their marketing strategies and effect in the market will be. Depending on the outcome of current and future projects, the future operating potential of the proposed subject hotel may be affected. Future improvement in market conditions will raise the risk of increased competition. Our forthcoming forecast of stabilized occupancy and average rate is intended to reflect such risk.
We have identified various properties that are expected to be competitive to some degree with the proposed subject hotel. We have also investigated potential increases in competitive supply in this Miami submarket. The Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater should enter a dynamic market of varying product types and price points. Next, we will present our forecast for demand change, using the historical supply data presented as a starting point.
Supply Conclusion
November-2018 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 85
The following table presents the most recent trends for the subject hotel market as tracked by HVS. These data pertain to the competitors discussed previously in this section; performance results are estimated, rounded for the competition, and in some cases weighted if there are secondary competitors present. In this respect, the information in the table differs from the previously presented STR data and is consistent with the supply and demand analysis developed for this report.
For the purpose of demand analysis, the overall market is divided into individual segments based on the nature of travel. Based on our fieldwork, area analysis, and knowledge of the local lodging market, we estimate the 2017 distribution of accommodated-room-night demand as follows.

Demand Analysis Using Market Segmentation
November-2018 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 86
The market’s demand mix comprises commercial demand, with this segment representing roughly 52% of the accommodated room nights in this Miami submarket. The meeting and group segment comprises 10% of the total, with the final portions leisure in nature, reflecting 38%.
Using the distribution of accommodated hotel demand as a starting point, we will analyze the characteristics of each market segment in an effort to determine future trends in room-night demand.
Commercial demand consists mainly of individual businesspeople passing through the subject market or visiting area businesses, in addition to high-volume corporate accounts generated by local firms. Brand loyalty (particularly frequent-traveler programs), as well as location and convenience with respect to businesses and amenities, influence lodging choices in this segment. Companies typically designate hotels as “preferred” accommodations in return for more favorable rates, which are discounted in proportion to the number of room nights produced by a commercial client. Commercial demand is strongest Monday through Thursday nights, declines significantly on Friday and Saturday, and increases somewhat on Sunday night. It is relatively constant throughout the year, with marginal declines in late December and during other holiday periods.
Commercial Segment
November-2018 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 87
The meeting and group market includes meetings, seminars, conventions, trade association shows, and similar gatherings of ten or more people. Peak convention demand typically occurs in the spring and fall. Although there are numerous classifications within the meeting and group segment, the primary categories considered in this analysis are corporate groups, associations, and SMERFE (social, military, ethnic, religious, fraternal, and educational) groups. Corporate groups typically meet during the business week, most commonly in the spring and fall months. These groups tend to be the most profitable for hotels, as they typically pay higher rates and usually generate ancillary revenues including food and beverage and/or banquet revenue. SMERFE groups are typically price-sensitive and tend to meet on weekends and during the summer months or holiday season, when greater discounts are usually available; these groups generate limited ancillary revenues. Association demand is generally divided on a geographical basis, with national, regional, and state associations representing the most common sources. Professional associations and/or those supported by members' employers often meet on weekdays, while other associations prefer to hold events on weekends. The profile and revenue potential of associations varies depending on the group and the purpose of the meeting or event.
Leisure demand consists of individuals and families spending time in an area or passing through en route to other destinations. Travel purposes include sightseeing, recreation, or visiting friends and relatives. Leisure demand also includes room nights booked through Internet sites such as Expedia, Hotels.com, and Priceline; however, leisure may not be the purpose of the stay. This demand may also include business travelers and group and convention attendees who use these channels to take advantage of any discounts that may be available on these sites. Leisure demand is strongest Friday and Saturday nights, and all week during holiday periods and the summer months. These peak periods represent the inverse of commercial visitation trends, underscoring the stabilizing effect of capturing weekend and summer tourist travel. Future leisure demand is related to the overall economic health of the region and the nation. Trends showing changes in state and regional unemployment and disposable personal income correlate strongly with leisure travel levels.
The purpose of segmenting the lodging market is to define each major type of demand, identify customer characteristics, and estimate future growth trends. Starting with an analysis of the local area, three segments were defined as representing the subject property’s lodging market. Various types of economic and demographic data were then evaluated to determine their propensity to reflect changes in hotel demand. Based on this procedure, we forecast the following average annual compounded market-segment growth rates.
Meeting and Group Segment
Leisure Segment
Base Demand Growth Rates
November-2018 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 88
FIGURE 4-32 AVERAGE ANNUAL COMPOUNDED MARKET-SEGMENT GROWTH RATES
Year-to-date 2018 data (through August) illustrate continued strengthening in occupancy, up 3.9 percentage points or 8% over the same eight-month period last year. While we attribute some of this growth to supply-induced demand (supply up 3% over the same period last year) and seasonal aspects, we expect a slightly lower annual growth rate by the end of the year.
A table presented earlier in this section illustrated the accommodated-room-night demand in the subject property’s competitive market. Because this estimate is based on historical occupancy levels, it includes only those hotel rooms that were used by guests. Latent demand reflects potential room-night demand that has not been realized by the existing competitive supply, further classified as either unaccommodated demand or induced demand.
Unaccommodated demand refers to individuals who are unable to secure accommodations in the market because all the local hotels are filled. These travelers must defer their trips, settle for less desirable accommodations, or stay in properties located outside the market area. Because this demand did not yield occupied room nights, it is not included in the estimate of historical accommodated-room-night demand. If additional lodging facilities are expected to enter the market, it is reasonable to assume that these guests will be able to secure hotel rooms in the future, and it is therefore necessary to quantify this demand.
Unaccommodated demand is further indicated if the market is at all seasonal, with distinct high and low seasons; such seasonality indicates that although year-end occupancy may not average in excess of 70%, the market may sell out certain nights during the year. To evaluate the incidence of unaccommodated demand in the market, we have reviewed the average occupancy by the night of the week for the past twelve months for the competitive set, as reflected in the STR data. This is set forth in the following table.
Latent Demand
Unaccommodated Demand

FIGURE 4-33 OCCUPANCY BY NIGHT OF THE WEEK
Month Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Total Month
Our interviews with market participants found that the market generally sells out on Monday through Saturday nights during the peak travel season, as well as sporadically within other periods throughout the year. A portion of this demand, which is currently turned away, should return to the market concurrent with the supply increase.
The following table presents our estimate of unaccommodated demand in the subject market.

Accordingly, we have forecast unaccommodated demand equivalent to 10.4% of the base-year demand, resulting from our analysis of monthly and weekly peak demand and sell-out trends.
November-2018 Supply and Demand Analysis Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 90
Induced demand represents the additional room nights that are expected to be attracted to the market following the introduction of a new demand generator. Situations that can result in induced demand include the opening of a new manufacturing plant, the expansion of a convention center, or the addition of a new hotel with a distinct chain affiliation or unique facilities. Although increases in demand are expected in the local market, we have accounted for this growth in the determination of market-segment growth rates rather than induced demand.
Based upon a review of the market dynamics in the subject property’s competitive environment, we have forecast growth rates for each market segment. Using the calculated potential demand for the market, we have determined market-wide accommodated demand based on the inherent limitations of demand fluctuations and other factors in the market area.
Residual demand is a form of excess demand that develops as a result of seasonality of demand patterns in the hotel market. The seasonality occupancy patterns are shown in Figure 4-7. Our room night analysis model holds the amount of forecast room night demand in any month that exceeds the historical maximum monthly occupancy rate, as residual demand. Consequently, the total amount of residual room night demand being “held” in the residual demand category will actually be absorbed when a new hotel enters the market. In simpler terms, residual demand is defined as “total potential demand.
Note that our room night analysis reflects the new supply entrants previously discussed, as well as the assumed opening of a 207-room hotel at the subject site in July 2020. Anticipated supply additions are fairly large in number in the years 2019-20 (11.4% and 10.9%, respectively) and, as a result, the market-wide occupancy for the competitive hotel set is forecast to modestly decline to about 76% by 2021 and then eventually stabilize at just above 78%. We remind the reader that we believe these forecasts to represent the conservative baseline case and it is certainly possible that market-wide occupancy may stabilize at a slightly better rate than what is forecast in our analysis.
The following table details our projection of lodging demand growth for the subject market, including the total number of occupied room nights and any residual unaccommodated demand in the market.

5. Description of the Proposed Improvements
The quality of a lodging facility's physical improvements has a direct influence on marketability, attainable occupancy, and average room rate. The design and functionality of the structure can also affect operating efficiency and overall profitability. This section investigates the subject property's proposed physical improvements and personal property in an effort to determine how they are expected to contribute to attainable cash flows.
The Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater will be a full-service lodging facility containing 207 rentable units. The 8-story property will open on July 1, 2020. The subject site is currently cleared and ready for development.
TYPICAL HOLIDAY INN EXTERIOR
Owned by InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), a leading global hospitality group, the first Holiday Inn was introduced in 1952 in Memphis, Tennessee. According to IHG, the brand is one of the most popular in the industry, with over 100 million guest nights hosted every year globally. The upper-midscale, full-service hotels feature a restaurant and lounge, a swimming pool, a fitness room, business services, and meeting facilities. As of year-end 2017, there were 773 Holiday Inn properties (135,604 rooms) in the Americas. In 2017, Holiday Inn hotels in the Americas operated at an average occupancy level of 66.6%, with an average daily rate of $112.61 and an average RevPAR of $75.25.

FIGURE 5-3 FLOOR AREA SUMMARY
November-2018 Description of the Proposed Improvements Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 95
Once guests arrive at the site, valet service (for a market-appropriate rate) will be available. The valet service, which will be operated by the hotel, is located on the second-floor level and will offer stacked (elevator lift) parking for 139 vehicles. Overall, the planned site improvements for the property appear adequate.
The hotel structure will comprise one single building, which will be constructed of steel and reinforced concrete. The exterior of the hotel will be finished with stucco and will feature stone accents on the ground level and near the main entrance. XX stairways and XX elevators will provide internal vertical transportation within the main structure. The hotel's roof will be made of wood trusses, covered with plywood and roof tiles or composition shingles. Double-paned windows will reduce noise transmission into the rooms. Heating and cooling will be provided by through-the-wall units and several large units for the public areas. Overall, the planned building components appear normal for a hotel of this type and should meet the standards for this market. We assume that all structural components will meet local building codes and that no significant defaults will occur during construction that would affect the future operating potential of the hotel or delay its assumed opening date.
The hotel’s restaurant and lounge will be located opposite the front desk in the lobby. The furnishings of the space are expected to be of a similar style and finish as lobby and guestroom furnishings. The hotel is expected to offer one meeting room, which is located on the third floor. The hotel is planned to offer an outdoor pool, a pool bar, and a fitness room as recreational facilities all of which are located on the third-floor level. Other amenities are expected to include a lobby workstation, a market pantry integrated into the front desk, and vending areas on select guestroom floors. The hotel will feature standard and suite-style room configurations and the typical in-room amenities associated with the Holiday Inn brand. Guestroom bathrooms will be of a standard size, with a shower-in-tub, commode, and single or double sink with vanity area, featuring a stone countertop. Overall, the facilities should be appropriate for a hotel of this type, and we assume that they will meet brand standards.
The hotel is anticipated to offer a full-service restaurant and lounge, room service, and banquet operations. We would expect onsite outlets to be relatively upscale due to the ideal hotel service level and first-class nature. The furnishings of the restaurant and lounge are expected to be of a similar style and finish as lobby and guestroom furnishings.
We have assumed that the hotel would provide a competitive offering of food and beverage facilities for an upper-midscale, full-service property.

The hotel will offer one meeting room located on the third-floor level proximate to the hotel's pool and pool bar. This planned meeting space appears appropriate for a hotel of this type and is assumed to meet brand standards. Public restrooms near the entrance to the meeting space should enhance the overall functionality of the area.
The proposed hotel will offer an outdoor pool, located on the third level terrace, and a fitness room as recreational facilities. Restrooms will be present on the third level, adjacent to the fitness room, and near the doors leading to the pool area.
The hotel will feature standard guestroom and suite-style room configurations, with guestrooms present on the third through eighth levels of the property's single building. The standard guestrooms will measure approximately 387-425 square feet, comprising comprise king, queen, or double/double configurations. Suites will be available for a premium rate that will feature a larger living area (779 square feet). Both room types will offer typical amenities for this product type, such as a coffeemaker and high-speed, wireless Internet access. Overall, the guestrooms will offer a competitive product for this neighborhood.

November-2018 Description of the Proposed Improvements Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 106
Guestroom bathrooms are expected to be of a standard size, with a shower-in-tub, commode, and single sink with vanity area, featuring a granite countertop. The floors are anticipated to be finished with tile, and the walls will likely be finished with a wallcovering. Bathroom amenities should include a hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. Overall, the bathroom design should appeal to the upscale traveler and conform to brand standards.
The interior guestroom corridors will be wide and functional, permitting the easy passage of housekeeping carts. Corridor carpet, wallcovering, signage, and lighting will be in keeping with the overall look and design of the rest of the property.
The hotel will be served by the necessary back-of-the-house space, including administrative offices, an in-house laundry facility, and a full-service kitchen to serve the needs of the restaurant and lounge. These spaces should be adequate for a hotel of this type and should allow for the efficient operation of the property under competent management.
We assume that the property will be built according to all pertinent codes and brand standards. Moreover, we assume its construction will not create any environmental hazards (such as mold) and that the property will fully comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Our analysis assumes that, after its opening, the hotel will require ongoing upgrades and periodic renovations in order to maintain its competitive level in this market and to remain compliant with brand standards. These costs should be adequately funded by the forecasted reserve for replacement, as long as a successful, ongoing preventive-maintenance program is employed by hotel staff.
The construction budget for the 207-room subject hotel, as provided by the project developer, is illustrated in the following table. It should be noted that HVS included additional estimated costs as the developer’s budget was preliminary in terms of anticipated FF&E costs, pre-opening and working capital, and complete soft costs. We have used actual site costs as reported by the developer, and the developer’s fee is based on 10% of accumulative costs (excluding land). Relative to hard cost estimates, we relied on the preliminary budget prepared by Seawood Builders (see Figures 5-15 to 5-17).

Overall, the proposed subject hotel should offer a well-designed, functional layout of support areas and guestrooms. All typical and market-appropriate features and amenities appear to be included in the hotel's design. We assume that the building will be fully open and operational on the stipulated opening date and will meet all local building codes and brand standards. Furthermore, we assume that the hotel

staff will be adequately trained to allow for a successful opening and that pre-marketing efforts will have introduced the product to major local accounts at least six months in advance of the opening date.
November-2018 Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 112
6. Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate
Along with ADR results, the occupancy levels achieved by a hotel are the foundation of the property's financial performance and market value. Most of a lodging facility's other revenue sources (such as food, beverages, other operated departments, and rentals and other income) are driven by the number of guests, and many expense levels vary with occupancy. To a certain degree, occupancy attainment can be manipulated by management. For example, hotel operators may choose to lower rates in an effort to maximize occupancy. Our forecasts reflect an operating strategy that we believe would be implemented by a typical, professional hotel management team to achieve an optimal mix of occupancy and average rate.
The subject property's forecasted market share and occupancy levels are based upon its anticipated competitive position within the market, as quantified by its penetration rate. The penetration rate is the ratio of a property's market share to its fair share.
In the following table, the penetration rates attained by the primary competitors and the aggregate secondary competitors are set forth for each segment for the base year.

Miami Downtown Brickell, while the Homewood Suites by Hilton Miami Downtown Brickell led the market with the highest leisure penetration rate.
Because the supply and demand balance for the competitive market is dynamic, there is a circular relationship between the penetration factors of each hotel in the market. The performance of individual new hotels has a direct effect upon the aggregate performance of the market, and consequently upon the calculated penetration factor for each hotel in each market segment. The same is true when the performance of existing hotels changes, either positively (following a refurbishment, for example) or negatively (when a poorly maintained or marketed hotel loses market share).
A hotel’s penetration factor is calculated as its achieved market share of demand divided by its fair share of demand. Thus, if one hotel’s penetration performance increases, thereby increasing its achieved market share, this leaves less demand available in the market for the other hotels to capture and the penetration performance of one or more of those other hotels consequently declines (other things remaining equal). This type of market share adjustment takes place every time there is a change in supply, or a change in the relative penetration performance of one or more hotels in the competitive market. Our projections of penetration, demand capture, and occupancy performance for the subject property account for these types of adjustments to market share within the defined competitive market.
The reader should note that the numbers shown for the row labeled ‘Demand’ under the market segments (i.e. transient, commercial meeting & group) in Figure 4-33 will not always match the number shown in the row labeled “Base Demand’ in Figure 6-2. This is because the ‘Demand’ row shown in Figure 6-2 is the sum of (Base Demand plus Unaccommodated Demand for said segment), less some allocated portion of the total Residual Demand shown in Figure 4-33, which is demand that is not absorbed. The Demand number shown in Figure 6-2 will only equal the Base Demand number shown in Figure 4-33 when none of the Unaccommodated Demand can be absorbed.
The proposed subject hotel's occupancy forecast is set forth as follows, with the adjusted projected penetration rates used as a basis for calculating the amount of captured market demand. The proposed subject hotel's occupancy forecast is recapped below and is based on our opinion and forecast that the hotel can ultimately achieve 100% of its ‘fair share’ of the forecast market-wide occupancy resulting from our room night analysis.

We have forecast a demand capture its fair share (equal to 100% of the market-wide occupancy) given the subject’s locational orientation east of Brickell in the Midtown district as compared to its competitors. These positioned segment penetration rates result in the following market segmentation forecast.
Based on our analysis of the proposed subject hotel and market area, we have selected a stabilized occupancy level of 78%. The stabilized occupancy is intended to reflect the anticipated results of the property over its remaining economic life, given all changes in the life cycle of the hotel. Thus, the stabilized occupancy excludes from consideration any abnormal relationship between supply and demand, as well as any nonrecurring conditions that may result in unusually high or low occupancies. Although the subject property may operate at occupancies above this stabilized level, we believe it equally possible for new competition and temporary economic downturns to force the occupancy below this selected point of stability.
One of the most important considerations in estimating the value of a lodging facility is a supportable forecast of its attainable average rate, which is more formally defined as the average rate per occupied room. Average rate can be calculated by dividing the total rooms revenue achieved during a specified period by the number of rooms sold during the same period. The projected average rate and the anticipated occupancy percentage are used to forecast rooms revenue, which in turn provides the basis for estimating most other income and expense categories.
Although the ADR analysis presented here follows the occupancy projection, these two statistics are highly correlated; one cannot project occupancy without making specific assumptions regarding average rate. This relationship is best illustrated by revenue per available room (RevPAR), which reflects a property's ability to

maximize rooms revenue. The following table summarizes the historical average rate, RevPAR, and respective ADR and RevPAR penetration levels for the proposed subject property’s competitors. The stabilized average rate and RevPAR levels that have been projected for the proposed subject hotel, expressed in base-year dollars, are also presented to understand the ADR positioning anticipated for the property upon stabilization. The basis for our ADR projection follows later in this section of the report.

Highlighted by 2018’s peak season year-over-year average rate gain of roughly $13.50, RevPAR is up 13.2% over the same 8-month period last year. It is important to note that with the opening of the new Hampton Inn & Suites all three indices, on an aggregate basis, increased. Year-to-date average rate is up 7.9% through August.
The Hampton Inn & Suites Brickell achieved the highest estimated average rate in the local competitive market, by a significant margin, because of its downtown location and product offering. Ranked second was the Courtyard, followed closely by the Holiday Inn and the aLoft. The selected rate position for the proposed subject hotel, in base-year dollars, takes into consideration factors such as its Midtown location and proximity to the Design District, full-service product offering, and its new construction. Moreover, the loss of decommissioned inventory at the existing 200-room Holiday Inn, coupled with the addition of high-quality rooms at the subject, should support a continued, heightened average-rate position for the city's higher-caliber properties. We have selected the rate position of $142.50, in base-year (2017) dollars, for the proposed subject hotel. Utilizing 2017 data, our projection is roughly $19.00 below the weighted average of the five “downtown” hotels – excluding the Hampton Midtown and the SpringHill Suites.
Market-wide rates began to trend upward post-recession in 2012. We would expect this upward trend to continue in the near term given the strengthening market dynamics in this Miami CBD submarket, including a rise in higher-rated corporate accounts coupled with growth expectations in the leisure segment at the hotels in the primary competitive set.
Based on these considerations, the following table sets forth the basis for our projection of the proposed subject hotel’s average rate. We have positioned the proposed subject hotel’s stabilized average rate in base-year dollars at $142.50 which reflects an ADR penetration of 90.7 %. Based on our review of the proposed
November-2018 Projection of Occupancy and Average Rate Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 118
improvements and the anticipated profile of the product and its operation, it is our opinion that the ADR penetration level should be achievable with appropriate management and marketing. The positioned stabilized average rate is projected to increase at the same rate as the overall market’s average rate, prior to consideration of any ADR discounting during the hotel’s ramp-up period. Note that we have assumed an underlying inflation rate of 2.5% in the first projection year, 2.5% in the second projection year, and 3.0% in the third projection year (and thereafter) in our forecast of income and expense, which follows later in this report.
The proposed subject hotel’s projected average rate (as if stabilized) is then fiscalized to correspond with the hotel’s anticipated date of opening for each forecast year. Discounts of 5% and 3% have been applied to the stabilized room rates projected for the first two years of operation, as would be expected for a new property of this type as it builds its reputation and becomes established in the market.
The following table presents the proposed subject hotel’s ADR penetration level, followed by the average rate deflated to base-year dollars by the assumed underlying inflation rate, for each year of the forecast.

7. Projection of Income and Expense
In this chapter of our report, we have compiled a forecast of income and expense for the proposed subject hotel. This forecast is based on the facilities program set forth previously, as well as the occupancy and average rate forecast discussed previously.
The forecast of income and expense is expressed in current dollars for each year. The stabilized year is intended to reflect the anticipated operating results of the property over its remaining economic life, given any or all applicable stages of build-up, plateau, and decline in the life cycle of the hotel. Thus, income and expense estimates from the stabilized year forward exclude from consideration any abnormal relationship between supply and demand, as well as any nonrecurring conditions that may result in unusual revenues or expenses. The ten-year period reflects the typical holding period of large real estate assets such as hotels. In addition, the ten-year period provides for the stabilization of income streams and comparison of yields with alternate types of real estate. The forecasted income streams reflect the future benefits of owning specific rights in income-producing real estate.
In order to project future income and expense for the proposed subject hotel, we have included a sample of individual comparable operating statements from our database of hotel statistics. All financial data are presented according to the three most common measures of industry performance: ratio to sales (RTS), amounts per available room (PAR), and amounts per occupied room night (POR). These historical income and expense statements will be used as benchmarks in our forthcoming forecast of income and expense.

HVS uses a fixed and variable component model to project a lodging facility's revenue and expense levels. This model is based on the premise that hotel revenues and expenses have one component that is fixed and another that varies directly with occupancy and facility usage. A projection can be made by taking a known level of revenue or expense and calculating its fixed and variable components. The fixed component is then increased in tandem with the underlying rate of inflation, while the variable component is adjusted for a specific measure of volume such as total revenue.
The actual forecast is derived by adjusting each year’s revenue and expense by the amount fixed (the fixed expense multiplied by the inflated base-year amount) plus the variable amount (the variable expense multiplied by the inflated base-year amount) multiplied by the ratio of the projection year’s occupancy to the base-year occupancy (in the case of departmental revenue and expense) or the ratio of the projection year’s revenue to the base year’s revenue (in the case of undistributed operating expenses). Fixed expenses remain fixed, increasing only with inflation. Our discussion of the revenue and expense forecast in this report is based upon the output derived from the fixed and variable model. This forecast of revenue and expense is accomplished through a systematic approach, following the format of the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry. Each category of revenue and expense is estimated separately and combined at the end in the final statement of income and expense.
In consideration of the most recent trends, the projections set forth previously, and our assessment of probable property appreciation levels, we have applied underlying inflation rates of 2.5%, 2.5%, and 3.0% thereafter for each respective year following the base year of 2017. This stabilized inflation rate takes into account normal, recurring inflation cycles. Inflation is likely to fluctuate above and below this level during the projection period. Any exceptions to the application of the assumed underlying inflation rate are discussed in our write-up of individual income and expense items.
Based on an analysis that will be detailed throughout this section, we have formulated a forecast of income and expense. The following table presents a detailed forecast through the fifth projection year, including amounts per available room and per occupied room. The second table illustrates our ten-year forecast of income and expense, presented with a lesser degree of detail. The forecasts pertain to years that begin on July 1, 2020, expressed in inflated dollars for each year.

The following description sets forth the basis for the forecast of income and expense. We anticipate that it will take four years for the proposed subject hotel to reach a stabilized level of operation. Each revenue and expense item have been forecast based upon our review of the proposed subject hotel's operating budget and comparable income and expense statements. The forecast is based upon fiscal years beginning July 1, 2020, expressed in inflated dollars for each year.
Rooms revenue is determined by two variables: occupancy and average rate. We projected occupancy and average rate in a previous section of this report. The proposed subject hotel is expected to stabilize at an occupancy level of 78% with an average rate of $179.29 in 2023/24. Following the stabilized year, the subject property’s average rate is projected to increase along with the underlying rate of inflation.
Food and beverage revenue is generated by a hotel's restaurants, lounges, coffee shops, snack bars, banquet rooms, and room service. In addition to providing a source of revenue, these outlets serve as an amenity that assists in the sale of guestrooms. With the exception of properties with active lounges or banquet facilities that draw local residents, in-house guests generally represent a substantial percentage of a hotel's food and beverage patrons. In the case of the Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater, food and beverage department will include a restaurant and lounge, and a pool bar located on the third-floor level; moreover, meeting space is expected to span 1,285 square feet.
Although food and beverage revenue vary directly with changes in occupancy, the small portion generated by banquet sales and outside capture is relatively fixed. The proposed subject hotel's food and beverage (F&B) operation is expected to be an important component of the hotel. Therefore, based upon our review of comparable operating statements, we have positioned an appropriate revenue level given the hotel's planned facility and price point. We would anticipate future moderate growth to occur within this category after the hotel's opening.
November-2018 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 131
According to the Uniform System of Accounts, other operated departments include any major or minor operated department other than rooms and food and beverage. The proposed subject hotel's other operated departments revenue sources are expected to include the hotel's retail/office revenues (lease income), attrition fees, meeting space rentals, telephone charges, market pantry sales, guest laundry fees, and in-room movie and game charges. Based on our review of operations with a similar extent of offerings, we have positioned an appropriate revenue level for the proposed subject hotel.
The miscellaneous income sources comprise those other than guestrooms, food and beverage, and the other operated departments. The proposed subject hotel's miscellaneous income revenues are expected to be generated primarily by the hotel's valet parking facilities located on the second-floor level.
Typical in the downtown Miami market, hotels surveyed charge a parking fee for both self-serve and valet service. These fees vary, but range from $15 to $27 per over-night stay, and valet service ranges from $23 to $35 per day. Based on our discussion with the subject’s competitors in the market, parking revenues are typically monitored on transient guest room sales as opposed to group business recognizing that groups often do not arrive with a vehicle and are either picked-up by hotel transport at the airport or arrive by another form of transportation such as mass transit. We have estimated a typical capture rate on transient rooms and a significantly reduced capture rate for group business, and projected parking revenue accordingly. Related expenses are estimated at 50% of revenue.

Changes in this revenue item through the projection period result from the application of the underlying inflation rate and projected changes in occupancy. A detailed summary of our “net” revenue forecast is shown in the following table.

Rooms expense consists of items related to the sale and upkeep of guestrooms and public space. Salaries, wages, and employee benefits account for a substantial portion of this category. Although payroll varies somewhat with occupancy and managers can generally scale the level of service staff on hand to meet an expected occupancy level, much of a hotel's payroll is fixed. A base level of front desk personnel, housekeepers, and supervisors must be maintained at all times. As a result, salaries, wages, and employee benefits are only moderately sensitive to changes in occupancy.
Commissions and reservations are usually based on room sales, and thus are highly sensitive to changes in occupancy and average rate. While guest supplies vary 100% with occupancy, linens and other operating expenses are only slightly affected by volume. The proposed subject hotel's rooms department expense has been positioned based upon our review of the comparable operating data and our understanding of the hotel's future service level and price point.
November-2018 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 133
Food expenses consist of items necessary for the primary operation of a hotel's food and banquet facilities. The costs associated with food sales and payroll are moderately to highly correlated to food revenues. Items such as china, linen and uniforms are less dependent on volume. Although the other expense items are basically fixed, they represent a relatively insignificant factor. Beverage expenses consist of items necessary for the operation of a hotel’s lounge and bar areas. The costs associated with beverage sales and payroll are moderately to highly correlated to beverage revenues. The proposed subject hotel's F&B operation is expected to be efficiently managed and operated at an expense level that is in line with other comparable operations.
Other operated departments expense includes all expenses reflected in the summary statements for the divisions associated in these categories. This was previously discussed in this chapter. The proposed subject hotel's other operated departments revenue sources are expected to include the hotel's retail/office revenues (lease income), attrition fees, meeting space rentals, telephone charges, market pantry sales, guest laundry fees, and in-room movie and game charges. Based on our review of operations with a similar extent of offerings, we have positioned an appropriate revenue level for the proposed subject hotel.
Administrative and general expense includes the salaries and wages of all administrative personnel who are not directly associated with a particular department. Expense items related to the management and operation of the property are also allocated to this category.

Other Operated Departments Expense
Administrative and General Expense
November-2018 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 134
Most administrative and general expenses are relatively fixed. The exceptions are cash overages and shortages; commissions on credit card charges; provision for doubtful accounts, which are moderately affected by the number of transactions or total revenue; and salaries, wages, and benefits, which are very slightly influenced by volume. Based upon our review of the comparable operating data and the expected scope of facility for the proposed subject hotel, we have positioned the administrative and general expense level at a market- and property-supported level.
Information and telecommunications systems expense consists of all costs associated with a hotel’s technology infrastructure. This includes the costs of cell phones, administrative call and Internet services, and complimentary call and Internet services. Expenses in this category are typically organized by type of technology, or the area benefitting from the technology solution. We expect the proposed subject hotel's information and telecommunications systems to be well managed. Expense levels should stabilize at a typical level for a property of this type.
Marketing expense consists of all costs associated with advertising, sales, and promotion; these activities are intended to attract and retain customers. Marketing can be used to create an image, develop customer awareness, and stimulate patronage of a property's various facilities.
The marketing category is unique in that all expense items, with the exception of fees and commissions, are totally controlled by management. Most hotel operators establish an annual marketing budget that sets forth all planned expenditures. If the budget is followed, total marketing expenses can be projected accurately.
Marketing expenditures are unusual because although there is a lag period before results are realized, the benefits are often extended over a long period. Depending on the type and scope of the advertising and promotion program implemented, the lag time can be as short as a few weeks or as long as several years. However, the favorable results of an effective marketing campaign tend to linger, and a property often enjoys the benefits of concentrated sales efforts for many months. Based upon our review of the comparable operating data and the expected scope of facility for
Information and Telecommunications Systems Expense
Marketing Expense
November-2018 Projection of Income and Expense Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 135
the proposed subject hotel, we have positioned the marketing expense level at a market- and property-supported level.
The proposed subject hotel will operate under a franchise agreement with Holiday Hospitality Franchising, Inc., which operates as a franchisor and licensor of most InterContinental Hotels Group brand names and marks, as a Holiday Inn. We have reviewed the terms of the agreement, dated June 27, 2018, which span 20 years after the hotel's opening date. In addition, we reviewed an amendment to the agreement that defines an "advertising assistance allowance" that effectively reduces royalty fees over the first three years of the term. The proposed subject hotel's franchise agreement calls for a royalty fee of 3.0% of rooms revenue for the first year, 4.0% during the second and third year, and 5.0% for the remainder of the term. A marketing assessment fee of 3.0% of rooms revenue is also stipulated throughout the duration of the agreement.
Property operations and maintenance expense is another expense category that is largely controlled by management. Except for repairs that are necessary to keep the facility open and prevent damage (e.g., plumbing, heating, and electrical items), most maintenance can be deferred for varying lengths of time.
Maintenance is an accumulating expense. If management elects to postpone performing a required repair, they have not eliminated or saved the expenditure; they have only deferred payment until a later date. A lodging facility that operates with a lower-than-normal maintenance budget is likely to accumulate a considerable amount of deferred maintenance.
The age of a lodging facility has a strong influence on the required level of maintenance. A new or thoroughly renovated property is protected for several years by modern equipment and manufacturers' warranties. However, as a hostelry grows older, maintenance expenses escalate. A well-organized preventive maintenance system often helps delay deterioration, but most facilities face higher property operations and maintenance costs each year, regardless of the occupancy trend. The quality of initial construction can also have a direct impact on future maintenance requirements. The use of high-quality building materials and

construction methods generally reduces the need for maintenance expenditures over the long term.
We expect the proposed subject hotel's maintenance operation to be well managed. Expense levels should stabilize at a typical level for a property of this type. Changes in this expense item through the projection period result from the application of the underlying inflation rate and projected changes in occupancy.

The utilities consumption of a lodging facility takes several forms, including water and space heating, air conditioning, lighting, cooking fuel, and other miscellaneous power requirements. The most common sources of hotel utilities are electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and steam. This category also includes the cost of water service.
Total energy cost depends on the source and quantity of fuel used. Electricity tends to be the most expensive source, followed by oil and gas. Although all hotels consume a sizable amount of electricity, many properties supplement their utility requirements with less expensive sources, such as gas and oil, for heating and cooking. The changes in this utilities line item through the projection period are a result of the application of the underlying inflation rate and projected changes in occupancy.
Management expense consists of the fees paid to the managing agent contracted to operate the property. Some companies provide management services and a brand-name affiliation (first-tier management company), while others provide

Management Fee

management services alone (second-tier management company). Some management contracts specify only a base fee (usually a percentage of total revenue), while others call for both a base fee and an incentive fee (usually a percentage of defined profit). Basic hotel management fees are often based on a percentage of total revenue, which means they have no fixed component. While base fees typically range from 2% to 4% of total revenue, incentive fees are deal specific and often are calculated as a percentage of income available after debt service and, in some cases, after a preferred return on equity. Total management fees for the proposed subject hotel have been forecast at 3.0% of total revenue.
Property (or ad valorem) tax is one of the primary revenue sources of municipalities. Based on the concept that the tax burden should be distributed in proportion to the value of all properties within a taxing jurisdiction, a system of assessments is established. Theoretically, the assessed value placed on each parcel bears a definite relationship to market value, so properties with equal market values will have similar assessments and properties with higher and lower values will have proportionately larger and smaller assessments.
Depending on the taxing policy of the municipality, property taxes can be based on the value of the real property or the value of the personal property and the real property. We have based our estimate of the proposed subject property's market value (for tax purposes) on an analysis of assessments of comparable hotel properties in the local municipality.
We have positioned the future assessment levels of the subject site and proposed improvements, as well as the planned personal property, based upon the illustrated comparable data.

Based on comparable assessments and the tax rate information, the proposed subject property's projected property tax expense levels are calculated as follows.
The insurance expense category consists of the cost of insuring the hotel and its contents against damage or destruction by fire, weather, sprinkler leakage, boiler explosion, plate glass breakage, and so forth. General insurance costs also include premiums relating to liability, fidelity, and theft coverage.
Insurance rates are based on many factors, including building design and construction, fire detection and extinguishing equipment, fire district, distance from the firehouse, and the area's fire experience. Insurance expenses do not vary with occupancy.

Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are essential to the operation of a lodging facility, and their quality often influences a property's class. This category includes all non-real estate items that are capitalized, rather than expensed. The furniture, fixtures, and equipment of a hotel are exposed to heavy use and must be replaced at regular intervals. The useful life of these items is determined by their quality, durability, and the amount of guest traffic and use.
Periodic replacement of furniture, fixtures, and equipment is essential to maintain the quality, image, and income-producing potential of a lodging facility. Because capitalized expenditures are not included in the operating statement but affect an owner's cash flow, a forecast of income and expense should reflect these expenses in the form of an appropriate reserve for replacement.
The International Society of Hospitality Consultants (ISHC) oversees a major industry-sponsored study of the capital expenditure requirements for full-service/luxury, select-service, and extended-stay hotels. The most recent study was published in 2014.7 Historical capital expenditures of well-maintained hotels were investigated through the compilation of data provided by most of the major hotel companies in the United States. A prospective analysis of future capital expenditure requirements was also performed based upon the cost to replace short- and long-lived building components over a hotel's economic life. The study showed that the capital expenditure requirements for hotels vary significantly from year to year and depend upon both the actual and effective ages of a property. The results of this study showed that hotel lenders and investors are requiring reserves for replacement ranging from 4% to 5% of total revenue.
Based on the results of our analysis and on our review of the proposed subject asset and comparable lodging facilities, as well as on our industry expertise, we estimate that a reserve for replacement of 4% of total revenues is sufficient to provide for the

FIGURE 7-26 FORECAST OF REVENUE AND EXPENSE CONCLUSION
Return on investment can be defined as the future benefits of an income-producing property relative to its acquisition or construction cost. The first step in performing a return on investment analysis is to determine the amount to be initially invested. For a proposed property, this amount is most likely to be the development cost of the hotel. Based on the total development cost, the individual investor will utilize a return on investment analysis to determine if the future cash flow from a current cash outlay meets his or her own investment criteria and at what level above or below this amount such an outlay exceeds or fails to meet these criteria.
As an individual or company considering investment in hotel real estate, the decision to use one’s own cash, an equity partner's capital, or lender financing will be an internal one. Because hotels typically require a substantial investment, only the largest investors and hotel companies generally have the means to purchase properties with all cash. We would anticipate the involvement of some financing by a third party for the typical investor or for those who may be entering the market for hotel acquisitions at this time. In leveraged acquisitions and developments where investors typically purchase or build upon real estate with a small amount of equity cash (20% to 50%) and a large amount of mortgage financing (50% to 80%), it is important for the equity investor to acknowledge the return requirements of the debt participant (mortgagee), as well as his or her own return requirements. Therefore, we will begin our rate of return analysis by reviewing the debt requirements of typical hotel mortgagees.
Because the subject property is a proposed hotel, we have relied upon the actual development budget for the proposed subject hotel in performing a cost analysis. As this budget takes into consideration all of the physical, structural, and design elements specific to the property, it is believed to be the most accurate assessment of the actual cost of developing a hotel facility of this type.
It should be noted that HVS included additional estimated costs as the developer’s budget was preliminary in terms of anticipated FF&E costs, pre-opening and working capital, and complete soft costs. We have used actual site costs as reported by the developer, and the developer’s fee is based on 10% of accumulative costs (excluding land). Relative to hard cost estimates, we relied on the preliminary budget prepared by Seawood Builders (see Figures 5-15 to 5-17).

Hotel financing is available for most tiers of the lodging industry from a variety of lender types. The CMBS market is in a phase of strong activity, including lending in the hospitality sector. While many lenders remain active, underwriting standards are more stringent than ten years ago, and loan-to-value ratios remain in the 60% to 70% range. Lenders continue to be attracted to the lodging industry because of the higher yields generated by hotel financing relative to other commercial real estate, and the industry continues to perform strongly in most markets. Commercial
banks, mortgage REITs, insurance companies, and CMBS and mezzanine lenders continue to pursue deals.
Data for the mortgage component may be developed from statistics of actual hotel mortgages made by long-term lenders. The American Council of Life Insurance, which represents 20 large life insurance companies, publishes quarterly information pertaining to the hotel mortgages issued by its member companies.
Because of the six- to nine-month lag time in reporting and publishing hotel mortgage statistics, it was necessary to update this information to reflect current lending practices. Our research indicates that the greatest degree of correlation exists between the average interest rate of a hotel mortgage and the concurrent yield on an average-A corporate bond.
The following chart summarizes the average mortgage interest rates of the hotel loans made by these lenders. For the purpose of comparison, the average-A corporate bond yield (as reported by Moody's Bond Record) is also shown.

Avg. Interest Rate (%) Avg. A Corp. Bond Yield (%)
The relationship between hotel interest rates and the yields from the average-A corporate bond can be detailed through a regression analysis, which is expressed as follows.
Y = 0.95736040 X + 0.75768730
Where: Y = Estimated Hotel Mortgage Interest Rate X = Current Average-A Corporate Bond Yield (Coefficient of correlation is 95%)
The October 17, 2018, average yield on average-A corporate bonds, as reported by Moody’s Investors Service, was 4.45%. When used in the previously presented equation, a factor of 4.45 produces an estimated hotel/motel interest rate of 5.02% (rounded).
Despite the recent interest-rate increases, hotel debt remains available at favorable interest rates from a variety of lender types as of mid-year 2018 (e.g., CMBS, balance-sheet lenders, insurance companies, SBA lenders, and other sources). The most prevalent interest rates for single hotel assets are currently ranging from 5.0% to 7.0%, depending on the type of debt, loan-to-value ratio, and the quality of the asset and its market.
In addition to the mortgage interest rate estimate derived from this regression analysis, HVS constantly monitors the terms of hotel mortgage loans made by our institutional lending clients. Fixed-rate debt is being priced at roughly 250 to 500 basis points over the corresponding yield on treasury notes. As of October 17, 2018, the yield on the ten-year T-bill was 3.16%, indicating an interest rate range from 5.7% to 8.2%. The hotel investment market has been very active given the strong performance of this sector and low interest rates in recent years. The Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points in December 2016, March 2017, June 2017, March 2018, and June 2018; the Fed increased rates again in September 2018 to a range between 2.0% and 2.25%. Hotel mortgage interest rates have been affected modestly by the recent rate increases given the contraction in interest-rate spreads; however, future increases by the Fed raises the prospect of a higher cost of debt capital for hotel investors in late 2018 and 2019. Hotel values have not yet been affected by the rise in the Fed rate; furthermore, debt capital is expected to remain available at favorable interest rates in the near term. At present, we find that lenders that are active in the market are using loan-to-value ratios of 60% to 70%, and amortization periods of 20 to 30 years. Loan-to-value ratios in 2018 are not as robust as those from a couple of years ago, when ratios as high as 75% were available.
Based on our analysis of the current lodging industry mortgage market and adjustments for specific factors, such as the property’s site, proposed facility, and conditions in the Miami hotel market, it is our opinion that a 5.25% interest, 25-year amortization mortgage with a 0.071910 constant is appropriate for the proposed subject hotel. In the mortgage-equity analysis, we have applied a loan-to-cost ratio of 65%, which is reasonable to expect based on this interest rate and current parameters.
The remaining capital required for a hotel investment generally comes from the equity investor. The rate of return that an equity investor expects over a ten-year holding period is known as the equity yield. Unlike the equity dividend, which is a short-term rate of return, the equity yield specifically considers a long-term holding period (generally ten years), annual inflation- adjusted cash flows, property appreciation, mortgage amortization, and proceeds from a sale at the end of the holding period. To establish an appropriate equity yield rate, we have used two sources of data: past appraisals and investor interviews.
Hotel Sales – Each appraisal performed by HVS uses a mortgage-equity approach in which income is projected and then discounted to a current value at rates reflecting the cost of debt and equity capital. In the case of hotels that were sold near the date of our valuation, we were able to derive the equity yield rate and unlevered discount rate by inserting the ten-year projection, total investment (purchase price and estimated capital expenditure and/or PIP) and debt assumptions into a valuation model and solving for the equity yield. The overall capitalization rates for the historical income and projected first-year income are based on the sales price “as is.” The following table shows a representative sample of hotels that were sold on or about the time that we appraised them, along with the derived equity return and discount rates based on the purchase price and our forecast.
Investor Interviews - During the course of our work, we continuously monitor investor equity-yield requirements through discussions with hotel investors and brokers. We find that equity yield rates currently range from a low in the low-to-mid teens for high-barrier-to-entry "trophy assets"; the upper teens for high quality, institutional-grade assets in strong markets; and the upper teens to low 20s for quality assets in more typical markets. Equity yield rates tend to exceed 20% for aging assets with functional obsolescence and/or other challenging property- or market-related issues. Equity return requirements also vary with an investment’s level of leverage.
The following table summarizes the range of equity yields indicated by hotel sales and investor interviews. We note that there tends to be a lag between the sales data and current market conditions, and thus, the full effect of the change in the economy and capital markets may not yet be reflected.
FIGURE 8-5 SUMMARY OF EQUITY YIELD OR INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN REQUIREMENTS
HVS Hotel Sales - Limited-Service 16% - 26.1% 20.1%
HVS Investor Interviews 13% - 25%
Based on the assumed 65% loan-to-cost ratio, the risk inherent in achieving the projected income stream, and the anticipated market position of the subject property, it is our opinion that an equity investor could expect to receive a 17.1% internal rate of return over a 10-year holding period, assuming that the investor obtains financing at the time of the project’s completion at the loan-to-cost ratio and interest rate set forth.
Inherent in this valuation process is the assumption of a sale at the end of the ten-year holding period. The estimated reversionary sale price as of that date is calculated by capitalizing the projected eleventh-year net income by an overall terminal capitalization rate. An allocation for the selling expenses is deducted from this sale price, and the net proceeds to the equity interest (also known as the equity residual) are calculated by deducting the outstanding mortgage balance from the reversion.
We have reviewed several recent investor surveys. The following chart summarizes the averages presented for terminal capitalization rates in various investor surveys during the past decade.
For purposes of this analysis, we have applied a terminal capitalization rate of 8.50%. Our final position for the terminal capitalization rate reflects the current market for hotel investments and also considers the subject property's attributes. Terminal capitalization rates, in general, have remained stable over the past few years. Terminal cap rates are at the low end of the range for quality hotel assets in markets with high barriers to entry and at the high end of the range for older assets or for those suffering from functional obsolescence and/or weak market conditions, reflecting the market's recognition that certain assets have less opportunity for significant appreciation.
As the two participants in a real estate investment, investors and lenders must evaluate their equity and debt contributions based on their particular return requirements. After carefully weighing the risk associated with the projected economic benefits of a lodging investment, the participants will typically make their decision whether or not to invest in a hotel or resort by determining if their investment will provide an adequate yield over an established period. For the lender, this yield will typically reflect the interest rate required for a hotel mortgage over a period of what can range from seven to ten years. The yield to the equity participant may consider not only the requirements of a particular investor, but also the potential payments to cooperative or ancillary entities such as limited partner payouts, stockholder dividends, and management company incentive fees.
The return on investment analysis in a hotel acquisition would not be complete without recognizing and reflecting the yield requirements of both the equity and debt participants. The analysis will now calculate the yields to the mortgage and equity participants during a ten-year projection period.
The annual debt service is calculated by multiplying the mortgage component by the mortgage constant.
Mortgage Component $28,438,000
Mortgage Constant 0.071910
Annual Debt Service $2,045,000
The yield to the lender based on a 65% debt contribution equates to an interest rate of 5.25%, which is calculated as follows.
*10th year debt service of $2,045,000 plus outstanding mortgage balance of $21,199,000
The following table illustrates the cash flow available to the equity position, after deducting the debt service from the projected net income.

In order for the present value of the equity investment to equate to the $15,312,000 capital outlay, the investor must accept a 17.1% return, as shown in the following table.
*10th year net income to equity of $2,780,939 plus sales proceeds of $35,818,000
In determining the potential feasibility of the Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater, we analyzed the lodging market, researched the area’s economics, reviewed the estimated development cost, and prepared a ten-year forecast of income and expense, which was based on our review of the current and historical market conditions, as well as comparable income and expense statements.
The conclusion of this analysis indicates that an equity investor contributing $15,312,000 (roughly 35% of the $43,800,000 development cost) could expect to receive a 17.1% internal rate of return over a ten-year holding period, assuming that the investor obtains financing at the time of the project’s completion at the loan-to-value ratio and interest rate set forth. The proposed subject hotel has an opportunity to serve a growing demand base in the northern "downtown" market. This market offers a wide complement of branded, select-service and extended-stay hotels; however, the Midtown district remains underserved by full-service lodging facilities, particularly within the IHG family. Based on our market analysis, there is sufficient market support for the proposed Holiday Inn hotel. Our conclusions are based primarily on the long-term strength of this hotel market combined with the current and anticipated demand growth in the Miami Midtown submarket. Our review of investor surveys indicates equity returns ranging from 12.7% to 22.9%, with an average of 17.2% for full-service assets. Based on these parameters, the calculated return to the equity investor, 17.1%, is consistent with the average and within the range of market-level returns given the anticipated cost of $43,800,000. In conclusion, the feasibility of the subject project is confirmed.
The analysis is based on the extraordinary assumption that the described improvements have been completed as of the prospective "when complete" date of value. The reader should understand that the completed subject property does not yet exist as of the date of appraisal. Our appraisal does not address unforeseeable events that could alter the proposed project, and/or the market conditions reflected in the analyses; we assume that no significant changes, other than those anticipated and explained in this report, shall take place between the date of inspection and date of prospective value. The use of this extraordinary assumption may have affected the assignment results. Several important general assumptions have been made that apply to this feasibility study. These aspects are set forth in the Assumptions and Limiting Conditions chapter of this report.
In addition, this analysis is based on the extraordinary assumption that the existing 200-room Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown will be decommissioned and close operations on or before 3Q 2019. For this analysis, we have used a prospective closure date of July 1, 2019. Any departure from this assumption will significantly impact forecasted operating performance results contained in this feasibility study.
We have made no assumptions of hypothetical conditions in our report. Furthermore, we have not made any jurisdictional exceptions to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice in our analysis or report.
November-2018 Supplemental Income Approach Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 155
9. Supplemental Income Approach
The subject property upon completion has been valued via the income approach through the application of a ten-year mortgage-equity technique and a discounted-cash-flow analysis. The conversion of the subject property's forecasted EBITDA Less Replacement Reserve into an estimate of value was based on the premise that investors typically leverage their real estate investments to enhance their equity yield. Typically, the majority of a transaction is capitalized with mortgage financing (50% to 70%), with equity comprising the balance (30% to 50%). The amounts and terms of available mortgage financing and the rates of return that are required to attract sufficient equity capital formed the basis for allocating the net income between the mortgage and equity components and deriving a value estimate.
The valuation of the mortgage and equity components is accomplished using an algebraic equation that calculates the exact amount of debt and equity that the hotel will be able to support based on the anticipated cash flow (as estimated by the forecast of income and expense) and the specific return requirements demanded by the mortgage lender (interest) and the equity investor (equity yield). Thus, the anticipated net income (before debt service and depreciation) is allocated to the mortgage and equity components based on market rates of return and loan-to-value ratios. The total of the mortgage component and the equity component equals the value of the property. Using this method of the income capitalization approach with the variables set forth, we estimate the value of the fee simple interest in the subject property, as of July 1, 2020, to be $43,800,000.
The value is mathematically proven by confirming that the market-derived yields are met for the lender and equity participant during the projection period. Using the assumed financial structure set forth in the previous calculations, market value can be allocated between the debt and equity as follows.
Mortgage Component (65%) $28,438,000
Equity Component (35%) 15,313,000
Total $43,751,000
The annual debt service is calculated by multiplying the mortgage component by the mortgage constant.

The position of the total property yield or unlevered discount rate reflects the current market conditions for both debt and equity capital. Debt remains available at favorable interest rates from a variety of lender types, though loan-to-value ratios remain in the 60% to 70% for most transactions. Equity and mezzanine financing is readily available due to the attractive yields being generated by hotels when compared with other forms of commercial real estate. We continue to interview hotel investors to assess the movement in yield rates and their impact on value.
The following tables demonstrate that the property receives its anticipated yields, proving that the value is correct based on the assumptions used in this approach.

We note that the averages illustrated in the previous table are derived from wide arrays of data points, and a range of reasonableness extends both lower and higher than the indicated data points. The following table reflects the capitalization rates for the proposed subject hotel that have been derived based on our estimate of market value via the discounted-cash-flow analysis. Note that the stabilized year's net income has been deflated to first-year dollars.

The derived capitalization rates are considered appropriate for a proposed lodging facility such as the Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater. The derived capitalization rates that are based on the forecasted net operating income fall in line with acceptable returns for a hotel of this caliber. We note that these capitalization rates reflect the expectation of improved profitability over the initial years of the forecast. Hotel investors are acquiring assets at “going-in” capitalization rates that reflect the anticipation of modest growth in revenue coupled with gains in efficiency.
The process of converting the projected income stream into an estimate of value via the discounted-cash-flow method is described as follows.
1. An appropriate discount rate is selected to apply to the projected net income before debt service. This rate reflects the "free and clear" internal rate of return to an all-cash purchaser or a blended rate of debt and equity return requirements. The discount rate takes into consideration the degree of perceived risk, anticipated inflation, market attitudes, and rates of return on other investment alternatives, as well as the availability and cost of financing. The discount rate is chosen by reviewing sales transactions and investor surveys and interviewing market participants.
2. A reversionary value reflecting the sales price of the property at the end of the ten-year holding period is calculated by capitalizing the eleventh-year net income by the terminal capitalization rate and deducting typical brokerage and legal fees.
3. Each year's forecasted net income before debt service and depreciation and the reversionary sales proceeds at the end of the ten-year holding period are converted to a present value by multiplying the cash flow by the chosen discount rate for that year in the forecast. The sum of the discounted cash flows equates to the value of the subject property.
The following chart summarizes the averages presented for discount rates in various investor surveys during the past decade.

We note that the averages illustrated in the previous table are derived from wide arrays of data points, and a range of reasonableness extends both lower and higher than the indicated data points. Based on our review of these surveys, sales transactions (see total property yields shown in the table titled Sample of Hotels Sold), and interviewing market participants, we have selected a discount rate of 10.75% for our analysis.
Utilizing the discount rate set forth, the discounted-cash-flow procedure is summarized as follows.

Using the income capitalization approach, the subject property was valued by a mortgage-equity analysis, a straightforward discounted-cash-flow analysis, and a direct capitalization technique. Based on our review of each method and their inherent strengths and weaknesses, as well as investor attitudes and methodologies, we have reconciled the “when complete” value indication via the income capitalization approach to $43,800,000. Furthermore, it is our opinion that the “when stabilized” value is $49,300,000.
Conclusion
November-2018 Statement of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 164
10. Statement of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions
1. This report is set forth as a feasibility study of the proposed subject hotel; this is not an appraisal report.
2. This report is to be used in whole and not in part.
3. No responsibility is assumed for matters of a legal nature, nor do we render any opinion as to title, which is assumed marketable and free of any deed restrictions and easements. The property is evaluated as though free and clear unless otherwise stated.
4. We assume that there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the sub-soil or structures, such as underground storage tanks, that would affect the property’s development potential. No responsibility is assumed for these conditions or for any engineering that may be required to discover them.
5. We have not considered the presence of potentially hazardous materials or any form of toxic waste on the project site. We are not qualified to detect hazardous substances and urge the client to retain an expert in this field if desired.
6. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective on January 26, 1992. We have assumed the proposed hotel would be designed and constructed to be in full compliance with the ADA.
7. We have made no survey of the site, and we assume no responsibility in connection with such matters. Sketches, photographs, maps, and other exhibits are included to assist the reader in visualizing the property. It is assumed that the use of the described real estate will be within the boundaries of the property described, and that no encroachment will exist.
8. All information, financial operating statements, estimates, and opinions obtained from parties not employed by HVS Consulting & Valuation are assumed true and correct. We can assume no liability resulting from misinformation.
9. Unless noted, we assume that there are no encroachments, zoning violations, or building violations encumbering the subject property.
10. The property is assumed to be in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, local, and private codes, laws, consents, licenses, and regulations (including the appropriate liquor license if applicable), and that all licenses, permits, certificates, franchises, and so forth can be freely renewed or transferred to a purchaser.
November-2018 Statement of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions Proposed Holiday Inn Edgewater – Miami, Florida 165
11. All mortgages, liens, encumbrances, leases, and servitudes have been disregarded unless specified otherwise.

Any departure from this assumption may have a significant impact on the projected operating results.
17. The financial analysis presented in this report is based upon assumptions, estimates, and evaluations of the market conditions in the local and national economy, which may be subject to sharp rises and declines. Over the projection period considered in our analysis, wages and other operating expenses may increase or decrease because of market volatility and economic forces outside the control of the hotel’s management. We assume that the price of hotel rooms, food, beverages, and other sources of revenue to the hotel will be adjusted to offset any increases or decreases in related costs. We do not warrant that our estimates will be attained, but they have been developed based upon information obtained during the course of our market research and are intended to reflect the expectations of a typical hotel investor as of the stated date of the report.
18. This analysis assumes continuation of all Internal Revenue Service tax code provisions as stated or interpreted on either the date of value or the date of our field inspection, whichever occurs first.
19. Many of the figures presented in this report were generated using sophisticated computer models that make calculations based on numbers carried out to three or more decimal places. In the interest of simplicity, most numbers have been rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent. Thus, these figures may be subject to small rounding errors.
