Re: Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
1802 NW 37th Avenue
Miami, FL 33125
Dear Ms. Lorenzo:
As requested, we have prepared an appraisal of the property referenced above presented in the attached
Appraisal Report. The purpose of the appraisal is to develop an opinion of: 1) the market value of the fee
simple estate of an unspecified portion of the 131.0738 acres of land underlying the Miami International
Links ‐ Melreese Country Club, assuming the hypothetical condition that the subject has been rezoned to its
highest and best use under Miami 21 Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning, as of April 10, 2018, and 2) the rental
value of a portion of the underlying land, assuming the hypothetical condition that the subject has been
rezoned to its highest and best use under Miami 21 Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning, as of April 10, 2018. The
unit value and rental value conclusions are based on the 131.0738‐acre size of the subject. If the size of
the parcel sold or leased is different in size, these values may be impacted.
Briefly described, the subject of this appraisal consists of the 131.0738 acres or 5,709,575 SF of land
underlying the Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club. The portion of this overall site that we
are appraising has yet to be specified in regards to exact location or size. The parcel is improved with an 18‐
hole golf course, with a driving range and practice putting greens. The subject is also improved with four
buildings that were constructed from the 1960's to 2000's that are used as a golf learning center, pro shop,
full‐service restaurant, maintenance building, and other ancillary uses for the operation of a golf course.
The site is owned by the City of Miami and leased to the current golf course operator. The site is irregular in
shape and is level and street grade.
The report contains 100 pages plus related exhibits. The appraisal and the attached Appraisal Report have
been prepared in conformity with and are subject to the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute and the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Foundation (USPAP). In preparing this appraisal, we considered the use
of the most widely recognized to value vacant land: the Sales Comparison Approach. The appraisal is
subject to the attached Assumptions and Limiting Conditions and Definition of Market Value.

After an inspection of the subject, and analysis of pertinent physical and economic factors that affect value,
we are of the opinion that the market value of the fee simple estate of the subject, assuming the
hypothetical condition that the subject has been rezoned to its highest and best use under Miami 21
Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning, as of April 10, 2018, on a per square foot basis is:
$25.00/SF
TWENTY‐FIVE DOLLARS PER SQUARE FOOT
This unit value conclusion is based on the 131.0738‐acre size of the subject. If the size of the parcel sold is
different in size, the unit value may be impacted.
We are of the opinion that the rental value of the subject’s underlying land, assuming the hypothetical
condition that the subject has been rezoned to its highest and best use under Miami 21 Special Area Plan
(SAP) zoning, as of April 10, 2018, on a per square foot basis is:
$1.25/SF
ONE DOLLAR TWENTY‐FIVE CENTS PER SQUARE FOOT
This rental value conclusion is based on the 131.0738‐acre size of the subject. If the size of the parcel
leased is different in size, the rental value may be impacted.
This rental value should be re‐evaluated approximately every five years to take into consideration any
change in market value, which would have an effect on the market rental rate. Rental rates for land are
typically adjusted every five years in the market.
This appraisal is based on extraordinary assumptions that we do not consider any current leases in place.
The 'As Rezoned' value estimate in this appraisal is based on the hypothetical condition that the
appropriate Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning to build to the property's highest and best use, is in place as of
the date of value.
The opinion(s) of value are based on exposure times of 6 to 12 months, assuming the property was properly
priced and actively marketed. This exposure time also assumes the hypothetical condition that the subject
has been rezoned to its highest and best use.
The attached Appraisal Report summarizes the documentation and analysis in support of our conclusions. If
you have any questions, please contact the undersigned. We thank you for retaining the services of our
firm.

18‐114‐02
This Appraisal Report is subject to underlying assumptions and limiting conditions qualifying the
information contained in the Report as follows:
The valuation opinions(s) apply only to the property specifically identified and described in the ensuing
Report.
Information and data contained in the report, although obtained from public record and other reliable
sources and, where possible, carefully checked by us, is accepted as satisfactory evidence upon which rests
the final opinion(s) of property value.
We have made no legal survey, nor have we commissioned one to be prepared, and therefore, reference to
a sketch, plat, diagram or previous survey appearing in the report is only for the purpose of assisting the
reader to visualize the property.
It is assumed that all information known to the client and/or the property contact and relative to the
valuation has been accurately furnished and that there are no undisclosed leases, agreements, liens or
other encumbrances affecting the use of the property, unless otherwise noted in this report.
Ownership and management are assumed to be competent and in responsible hands.
No responsibility beyond reasonableness is assumed for matters of a legal nature, whether existing or
pending.
We, by reason of this appraisal, shall not be required to give testimony as expert witness in any legal
hearing or before any Court of Law unless justly and fairly compensated for such services.
By reason of the Purpose of the Appraisal and the Intended User and Use of the Report herein set forth, the
value opinion(s) reported are only applicable to the Property Rights Appraised, and the Appraisal Report
should not be used for any other purpose.
Disclosure of the contents of this Appraisal Report is governed by the By‐Laws and Regulations of the
Appraisal Institute.
Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any opinions as to value, our identity, or
the firm with which we are connected, or any reference to the Appraisal Institute or to the MAI
Designation) shall be reproduced for dissemination to the public through advertising media, public relations
media, news media, sales media or any other public means of communication without our prior consent
and written approval.
We have not been furnished with soil or subsoil tests, unless otherwise noted in this report. In the absence
of soil boring tests, it is assumed that there are no unusual subsoil conditions or, if any do exist, they can be
or have been corrected at a reasonable cost through the use of modern construction techniques.
This appraisal is based on the conditions of local and national economies, purchasing power of money, and
financing rates prevailing at the effective date(s) of value.
We are not engineers and any references to physical property characteristics in terms of quality, condition,
cost, suitability, soil conditions, flood risk, obsolescence, etc., are strictly related to their economic impact

Club Land GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITING CONDITIONS
18‐114‐02
Unless otherwise stated in this report, we did not observe the existence of hazardous materials, which may
or may not be present on or in the property. The presence of substances such as asbestos, urea‐
formaldehyde foam insulation, or other potentially hazardous materials, may affect the value of the
property. The value opinion is predicated on the assumption that there is no such material on or in the
property that would cause a loss in value or extend their marketing time. No responsibility is assumed for
any such conditions, or for the expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them. The client is
urged to retain an expert in this field, if desired.
Toxic and hazardous substances, if present within a facility, can introduce an actual or potential liability that
may adversely affect marketability and value. Such effects may be in the form of immediate clean‐up
expense or future liability of clean‐up costs (stigma). In the development of our opinion(s) of value, no
consideration was given to such liabilities or their impact on value. The client and all intended users release
Joseph J. Blake and Associates, Inc., from any and all liability related in any way to environmental matters.
Possession of this report or a copy thereof does not imply right of publication, nor use for any purpose by
any other than the client to whom it is addressed, without our written consent.
Cash flow projections are forecasts of estimated future operating characteristics and are based on the
information and assumptions contained within the Appraisal Report. The achievement of the financial
projections will be affected by fluctuating economic conditions and is dependent upon other future
occurrences that cannot be assured. Actual results may well vary from the projections contained herein.
We do not warrant that these forecasts will occur. Projections may be affected by circumstances beyond
our current realm of knowledge or control.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. We have not made a specific
compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether it is in conformity with the various
detailed requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a compliance survey of the property, together with a
detailed analysis of the requirements for the ADA, could reveal that the property is not in compliance with
one or more of the requirements of the Act. If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of
the property. Unless otherwise stated in this report, we have no direct evidence relating to this issue and
we did not consider possible non‐compliance with the requirements of the ADA in forming the opinion of
the value of the property.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS
This appraisal is based on extraordinary assumptions that we do not consider any current leases in place.
The use of the aforementioned Extraordinary Assumptions might have affected the assignment results.
HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS
The 'As Rezoned' value estimate in this appraisal is based on the hypothetical condition that the
appropriate Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning to build to the property's highest and best use, is in place as of
the date of value.

applicable to the following pertinent dates:
DATE OF INSPECTION April 10, 2018
DATE OF REPORT July 2, 2018
DATE OF “AS REZONED TO HBU” VALUE April 10, 2018
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
Market value means the most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open
market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and
knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the
consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions
whereby:
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best
interests;
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
4. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable
thereto; and
5. The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative
financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.'

18‐114‐02 INTRODUCTION
EXPOSURE TIME
To form an opinion of exposure time, we considered the exposure times of properties similar to the subject
in the same or similar sub‐markets that have recently sold and/or conversations with local market
participants. Based on our research, we are of the opinion that 6 to 12 months is a reasonable exposure
time, assuming the property was reasonably priced and actively marketed, as well as assuming the
hypothetical condition that the subject has been rezoned to its highest and best use under Miami 21
Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning.
MARKETING TIME
In order to form opinions of marketing time, we contacted commercial real estate companies active in the
subject's area, specifically those focused on commercial properties. Each broker was asked to estimate the
marketing time for a property similar to the subject, used for the same purpose, located in the subject's
area, and at or near the subject's value. While careful to state that the marketing time depends on many
factors, these brokers were of the opinion that 6 to 12 months was reasonable. It is our opinion that a
marketing time of 6 to 12 months is considered reasonable for the subject property. This marketing time
assumes the hypothetical condition that the subject has been rezoned to its highest and best use under
Miami 21 Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning.
According to the PwC Real Estate Investor Survey, fourth quarter 2017, the quoted marketing time for
development land properties on a national basis ranged from 3 to 36 months, and averaged 16 months.
PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED
The subject is appraised on the basis of a fee simple estate.

Development and growth in Miami‐Dade County are often attributed to the climate, which draws the
northern United States tourist trade during the winter months. Miami‐Dade County is a recognized banking
and finance center, with over 120 financial institutions featuring a growing community of international
banks serving Latin America. This international activity has emerged due to the more than 150 multi‐
national firms that have established their offices in Miami‐Dade in order to direct their Latin American,
Caribbean and in some cases, worldwide operations.
The growth in business relations between Latin America and Miami‐Dade County has been accompanied by
ongoing growth in tourism from Latin America. Latin American tourists who enjoy shopping in the United
States represent a major demand segment in Miami‐Dade County's lodging and retail markets.
The concurrency provision in the 1985 Growth Management Act requires that all water, sewer, roads,
schools, parks and storm water facilities necessary to support existing improvements be in place before
new construction is permitted. Thus, if a location is deficient in one or more categories, the affected
infrastructure component must be expanded to support any new construction. A developer may choose to
provide the various facilities and/or services necessary to support their project. However, in some cases the
expense associated with offsite improvements may render a project economically unfeasible.
Transportation
Miami International Airport is the largest gateway between the United States and Latin America, and is one
of the largest airline hubs in the United States, owing to its proximity to tourist attractions, local economic
growth, large local Latin American and European populations, and strategic location to handle connecting
traffic between North America, Latin America, and Europe.
The Port of Miami is a leader in the maritime industry and home to nearly a dozen of the world’s most
distinguished cruise lines. The port offers more cargo sailings to more destinations in the Western
hemisphere than any other port, and offers access to virtually every port in the world.
Metrorail is a 21‐mile rapid transit system on an elevated railway providing access to Downtown Miami
from portions of both south and north Miami‐Dade County. It connects with Metromover, a 30‐station,
five‐mile system, that loops through the center of Downtown Miami's CBD. Metrobus provides the feeder
system to Metrorail and bus service to all other parts of Miami‐Dade County.
A network of 5,640 miles of roadway serves Miami‐Dade County, of which I‐95, I‐75, Florida’s Turnpike, and
the Palmetto Expressway (SR‐826) are the most utilized north/south highways, while SR‐112, SR‐826 and
SR‐836 are the most utilized east/west expressways. US‐1 and SR‐A1A are also components of this network.
Other primary thoroughfares include I‐395 (east/west), I‐195 (east/west), SR‐9, SR‐94, SR‐874, US‐27, US‐41
and US‐441.
Education
Miami‐Dade County is served by more than 900 public and private secondary and elementary schools.
Seven colleges and universities are located in the county.
Miami‐Dade College currently offers more than 175 programs and 1,500 courses, with enrollment of over
160,000 students. The University of Miami in Coral Gables has more than 15,000 degree‐seeking students
and offers 150 undergraduate and 192 graduate degree programs. Florida International University, with
two campuses, 36,000 students and more than 800 full‐time faculty, received the nation’s fifth largest
philanthropic gift in the history of public higher education—the Wolfsonian Museum on Miami Beach, with
70,000 artifacts worth an estimated $75 million. It was donated to the college in 1997 and features a wide
array of objects ranging from high art to pop culture. Four‐year degree programs are also available at Barry
University, St. Thomas University, Florida Memorial College and Miami Christian College.

CONCLUSION
An analysis of South Florida and more specifically, Miami‐Dade County, demonstrates that the area has
historically been on a path of growth. Previous population growth is primarily due to in‐migration, with the
majority of the migrants coming from within the state, as well as New York, Georgia and international
sources.
With the recession receding, the values of the County’s office, industrial, commercial and residential
properties have recovered substantially, with decreased vacancies appearing in office complexes, industrial
neighborhoods, and shopping centers, and homes increasing in value.
Despite the effects of the recent recession, many of the factors that led to Miami‐Dade County’s historical
success remain in place. Therefore, the county will likely continue to grow.

NEIGHBORHOOD MAP
INTRODUCTION
A property is an integral part of its surroundings and must not be treated as an entity separate and apart
from its surroundings. The value of a property is not found exclusively in its physical characteristics;
physical, economic, political and sociological forces in the area interact to give value to a property. In order
to determine the degree of influence extended by these forces on a property, their past and probable
future trends are analyzed. Therefore, in order to form an opinion of the value of a property, an analysis is
made of the area in which the property under study is found. This area is referred to as a neighborhood.
17
Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
18‐114‐02 NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
A neighborhood can be a portion of a city, a community or an entire town. It is usually an area which
exhibits a fairly high degree of homogeneity as to use, tenancy and certain other characteristics.
Homogeneity is a state of uniform structure or composition throughout. Therefore, in real estate
terminology, a homogeneous neighborhood is one in which the property types and uses are similar. A
neighborhood is more or less a unified area with somewhat definite boundaries. As a neighborhood's
boundaries serve to limit the physical area that exerts germane influences on a property's value, the
boundaries may indeed run concurrent with variations in prevailing land uses or physical characteristics.
LOCATION
The subject is located along the north side of State Road‐836, extending from NW 37th Avenue to NW 42nd
Avenue, in the City of Miami, Miami‐Dade County, Florida.
The boundaries for the subject's neighborhood can be distinguished by the prevailing land uses as well as
the county's infrastructure. The neighborhood is considered to be State Road‐112 (Airport Expressway) to
the north, State Road‐836 (Dolphin Expressway) to the south, NW 27th Avenue to the east and NW 42nd
Avenue (LeJeune Road) to the west.
ACCESSIBILITY
Access to the area is via Douglas Road (NW 37th Avenue), LeJeune Road (NW 42nd Avenue) and State
Road‐836 (the Dolphin Expressway), as well as State Road‐112 (Airport Expressway).
Due to the subject’s proximity to the Miami International Airport, there are several expressways located
within the neighborhood. The north boundary of the neighborhood is the Airport Expressway, which
extends in an east/west direction from Interstate‐95 to LeJeune Road. This expressway continues east into
Miami Beach where it is known as Interstate‐195.
The south boundary is the Dolphin Expressway (State Road‐836). This limited‐access toll road extends
east/west adjacent to the south of the subject. This highway commences at Interstate‐95 and continues
west to NW 137th Avenue and Florida’s Turnpike Extension. This roadway also continues east of Interstate‐
95, where it is known as Interstate‐395, to Miami Beach.
Major north/south arterials within the neighborhood include NW 27th Avenue and NW 42nd Avenue
(LeJeune Road). NW 27th Avenue is the eastern boundary of the neighborhood and commences south of the
neighborhood in Coconut Grove and extends north throughout Miami‐Dade County and into Broward
County. This roadway has interchanges within State Road‐112 and State Road‐836.
LeJeune Road is the western boundary of the neighborhood and extends north/south throughout much of
north and central Miami‐Dade County. These roadways also have interchanges with State Road‐112 and
State Road‐836. This roadway runs adjacent to Miami International Airport, providing the main
ingress/egress to the airport.
The subject's neighborhood has excellent access to the majority of Miami‐Dade County and the major
intercity expressways.
DEVELOPMENT
The subject is located in close proximity to Miami International Airport (MIA) and is surrounded by a variety
of property types. East of the subject are mostly single‐family residences, while areas north of the subject
are a variety of commercial and industrial uses.

The following information was compiled from published sources and is used in conjunction with primary
and secondary data to analyze the market trends impacting the value of the subject property.
NATIONAL STRIP SHOPPING CENTER MARKET ‐ PWC
According to the PwC Real Estate Investor Survey, 1st Quarter 2018:
Once looked at as recession‐proof and Internet‐proof investments, many owners of strip shopping
centers are becoming more anxious about the impact of growth in online shopping and the entry of
Amazon into the grocery business with its recent purchase of Whole Foods. “The ‘Amazon Effect’
will continue to erode brick‐and‐mortar sales,” says an investor. “Amazon’s impact is not done, and
it’s a top concern for us and one we need to adapt to,” shares another.
Other challenges and concerns for investors in this sector include negative headlines about
retailers, the late position of the current cycle, instability of junior anchor stores, the growing
number of competitive grocery formats, and the likelihood of overpaying for acquisitions. At the
same time, however, investors see bright spots – strong centers performing well, still low interest
rates, and opportunities to buy.
Varying degrees of unease, however, are slowing the pace of sales activity as investors complete
more due diligence prior to closing deals at a time when most surveyed investors view this market
as favoring sellers (44.0%). While 42.0% of participants view it as neutral, the fewest portion
(14.0%) see it as favoring buyers. (pg. 24)

MIAMI RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS
According to the CoStar Retail Market Analysis and Forecast, April 2018, strong demand helped the market
weather a wave of deliveries throughout the first half of 2017, and vacancies have remained well below the
national average. Developers are busy bringing new product to key locations within the metro, focusing on
urban‐core submarkets as well as high‐income north suburban ones. The highest‐end luxury retail receives
a lot of investor attention, particularly in Miami Beach and the new Design District, but assets there are
pricey. Demographics are solid, and development is expected to remain very strong for the next few years.

Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land

Fundamentals
Wealthy foreign shoppers have helped fuel retail spending and employment growth. Overall employment
gains in the leisure and hospitality sector have resulted from an increase in tourists and shoppers in Miami’s
favorite districts. In the next few years, escalating deliveries, particularly in the Downtown Submarket and
Wynwood Art District, may soften those submarkets' fundamentals a bit, but longer‐term demographic
trends should continue. In fact, Miami boasts some of the lowest historical vacancies in the country. So,
even with an uptick in large‐scale speculative deliveries, vacancy is ultimately expected to stay well below
both market and national historical averages.
Retail space in Miami tends to be productive and high end. In fact, Bal Harbour Shops are consistently
among the best‐performing luxury retail spaces in the country, with sales of over $3,000/SF. In an effort to
capitalize on strong fundamentals and to compete with the developing luxury shops in the Design District,
Whitman Family Development (the Bal Harbour owner group) has recently obtained financing to expand
the shops and begin the build‐out of an additional 340,000 SF of retail. As the economic recovery broadens,
consumption is expected to continue to expand, underpinning an improving demand outlook that should
drive near‐term retail sales and employment.
Brickell and Downtown Miami are the primary urban shopping districts that will capture increased demand
from white‐collar employment growth and high‐income tourist spending. Brickell, the epicenter of an
emerging live/work/play environment, is brimming with construction of luxury condo and apartment
towers. New mixed‐use developments are incorporating large quantities of high‐end retail space into their
plans. Some recent examples include Brickell City Centre, with over 500,000 SF of retail space that delivered
in late 2016, and Miami World Center, which is set to bring 450,000 SF of retail space to the area in 2018.
By constructing mixed‐use projects in primary business districts, developers are targeting the dense
population of high‐income spenders while also providing residential opportunities that can create demand
within their own space. Retailers have noticed this trend and intend to be part of the metro's fastest‐
growing urban neighborhoods, highlighted by the recent leases of more than 80 retailers and eateries set to
open in the new Brickell City Centre.

18‐114‐02 MARKET ANALYSIS
Construction
Developers are targeting primary submarkets for major mixed‐use deliveries, which remain a major driver
of construction in this cycle. Developers are benefiting their own retail projects by combining them with
adjacent residential development. Annual deliveries are on the rise thanks to growing focus on creating
live/work/play environments in primary submarkets. The Downtown Miami Submarket will enjoy most of
this growth, which is being driven by plans for the Miami World Center, a mixed‐use development that will
include 450,000 SF of retail space.
Construction will also bring space to developing submarkets. The $312 million redevelopment of the Design
District in the Miami Submarket is drawing interest from national tenants and investors. Currently in its
third phase of development, the district is expected to house more than 120 luxury retailers, a boutique
hotel, 15–20 restaurants and cafes, and luxury condominiums. This shopping complex will bring another
luxury destination to the metro, potentially competing with Bal Harbour Shops. It has even lured some
tenants away from Bal Harbour.
Another notable development underway is the Gardens Promenade, a 300,000 SF shopping center which is
in the Hialeah Gardens submarket and is expected to deliver in 2018.
While several years out, it is worth mentioning the American Dream Miami development, a 200‐acre $4
billion shopping mall and entertainment complex Now that developer Triple Five has closed on the land,
construction may begin in the next couple of years in the Northeast Dade Submarket.

Rents
Miami does very well in terms of retail, and consistently ranks among the top five metros for highest gross
asking rents—thanks primarily to the exceptionally high rents in wealthy and tourist‐heavy submarkets like
Miami Beach, Aventura, Brickell, and Coconut Grove. The Miami Submarket is home to the Design District,
where some tenants are willing to sign leases that are more than four times as costly as the metro’s
average.

Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
18‐114‐02 MARKET ANALYSIS
Even though asking rents in Miami are generally high, rent growth has continued to slow throughout 2017
and early 2018. However, the decline has simply ended the phenomenal rate of growth that occurred in
2015, mirroring a nationwide trend. Regardless, rent growth in Miami is still expected to remain positive
and to continue to outpace the national average.
As of early 2018, the submarket with the highest rate of rent growth is West Miami. This is primarily
because high rates of supply have finally put the brakes on rent growth in premier submarkets like Brickell
and Miami Beach, while more moderately priced submarkets like West Miami and Coral Way, which have
fewer deliveries, are experiencing relatively steadier and less dramatic decreases.

Sales
Sales volume has cooled dramatically from its 2015 peak, when nearly 5% of inventory changed hands.
Average sales price has also been decreasing. Many of the largest sales are occurring in the Kendall
Submarket, which has the advantages of a dense population and higher median incomes. It is also one of
the largest submarkets for office space, creating demand for quality retail and restaurant space.
On deals that exceeded $5 million, most reported cap rates for well‐leased retail properties have ranged
from 5% to 6% over the past several quarters. Toronto‐based Northbridge Investment Management’s
Kendall Pointe (a 75,000 SF neighborhood center built in 2008) recently sold for $219/SF at a 5.6% cap rate,
and Old Cutler Towne Center (a 100,000 SF community center built in 1987 in the South Dade Submarket)
sold at a 5.2% cap rate.
One of the largest recent sales includes Doral Commons, a 130,000 SF neighborhood center that was sold
by Terra Group to Jamestown Properties for $71 million. Doral is home to 250 corporate headquarters and
100 multinational corporations, creating a strong demand base. It also maintains strong retail occupancy
and was 98% occupied at the time of sale.

The Miami retail inventory has grown slowly over the last few years, primarily due to the limited amount of
land available for new construction. The vacancy factor has remained at less than 5% since 2005, except for
one year (2009 – during the height of the recession) where the rate peaked at 5%. Vacancy is projected to
remain at less than 4% for the next five years. Rents have grown steadily since 2005 as shown below. Rents
are projected to continue to increase over the next few years.

The following information was compiled from published sources and is used in conjunction with primary
and secondary data to analyze the market trends impacting the value of the subject property.
NATIONAL SUBURBAN OFFICE MARKET ‐ PWC
According to the PwC Real Estate Investor Survey, 1st Quarter 2018:
Quarterly shifts in the national suburban office market’s Survey results suggest that most investors
are optimistic about its performance for 2018, but in a low‐key manner. “2018’s performance
should be flat compared to 2017, which is better than being down,” surmises a participant. “We see
a steady outlook with improving occupancy, but slower rent growth in the short term,” says
another investor.
As a whole, the U.S. suburban office sector reported an overall vacancy rate of 13.6% at year‐end
2017, equal to the rate for year‐end 2016 but below the average of 14.6% for 2015, as per
Cushman & Wakefield. Our surveyed investors note that underlying fundamentals vary greatly from
location to location. For 2017, suburban areas that posted some of the lowest overall vacancy rates
included El Paso, San Francisco, and Nashville. On the other hand, suburban areas that posted some
of the highest overall vacancy rates included Cincinnati, Northern Virginia, and Houston.
Some surveyed investors feel that there will be good buying opportunities in certain suburban
markets for 2018 since “a few owners are opting to sell suburban office assets in order to better
solidify an all‐cash position now in anticipation of rising interest rates and capricious lender
decisions.” (pg. 26)

MIAMI OFFICE MARKET ANALYSIS
According to the CoStar Office Market Report, the Miami office market continues to benefit from steady
demand via strong growth in office‐using employment. Specifically, job growth in the Financial Activities
and Professional and Business Services sectors outpaced the national average in 2017. Due to years of
limited development and strong demand, vacancies have remained near cyclical lows.
Developers were active in 2017, delivering almost 750,000 square feet of new office space. Even with the
uptick in development, vacancies remain flat, leaving Miami in a good spot to tackle another wave of
deliveries set to hit the market the next few years.
Due to strong fundamentals this cycle, rent growth reached almost 8% in early 2016 but has since declined,
mirroring a nationwide trend. Sales volume has dipped off recently after peaking to almost $2.2 billion in
2016, but it is still in line with the historical average.
Source: CoStar
Leasing
Office‐using employment has been driven by financial services related to international banking and the
housing recovery, and professional and business services catering to wealthy retirees. Absorption reached
the highest levels of the cycle in 2014 and 2015 but has decelerated since. While most of the recent leases
are for 30,000 SF or fewer, there have been a few notable lease deals that have occurred over the last few
quarters. In late 2017, FEMA signed a lease for over 90,000 square feet of 3 Star office space, followed by
Florida Blue, who is taking over 50,000 square feet.
Employment within the healthcare industry has been robust enough to support continued medical office
leasing. Further supporting this trend is the rapid employment growth within the outpatient subsector of
the healthcare industry, which reflects the increasing patient preference for medical services outside of the
traditional hospital setting. These medical tenants typically favor 3 Star product in medical office buildings
and locations within the premier suburban submarkets near wealthy residences and the University of
Miami. Submarkets such as Kendall, South Miami, and Aventura see the lion’s share of this activity, and as
the population ages and demand for healthcare grows, medical office leasing should further drive demand,
particularly in these submarkets.

Strong demand has finally made an impact on top‐quality asset fundamentals. For a large portion of the
recovery, 4 & 5 Star product remained stubbornly vacant due to the supply wave that hit the market during
the recession years. However, the strong absorption has helped bring down Miami’s 4 & 5 Star vacancy rate
by almost 800 basis points since the beginning of the cycle. Two and Three Brickell City Centre have
recently hit the market and multiple 4 & 5 Star buildings are set to deliver over the next few quarters, some
of which have major availability, but Miami's pattern of strong demand is expected to continue to keep
vacancies under control in the near term.

Supply
Office construction has returned in force to the Miami metro. The supply pipeline was relatively empty
leading up to 2016, when over 500,000 square feet delivered and has since maintained the momentum.
Nearly one million square feet of new office space came on line metro wide in 2017, including 800
Waterford, a nearly 250,000 square foot office building which delivered in August. Additionally, Two
MiamiCentral and Three MiamiCentral, the office phases of the mixed‐use development centered on the
future All Aboard Florida passenger rail station, added more than 300,000 square feet of office space to
Downtown Miami. Aside from major mixed‐use projects that incorporate office components, few large
office projects have broken ground recently.

Rents
Rent growth hit a cyclical high at the beginning of 2016 but has since decelerated, partially due to one of
the strongest years of deliveries this cycle. Even so, rent growth in Miami is almost double the national
average, and rents are among the highest in the southeast. The combination of consistent, healthy rent
increases of 4 & 5 Star rents, which are already among the highest in the National Index, brightens the
outlook in Miami.

The bulk of rent growth in the metro was carried by the Miami Airport and Kendall submarkets. While the
highest overall asking rents are still commanded by Brickell and Aventura, the growth in areas like Kendall
and Miami Airport has proven that there is growing demand for suburban office space in Miami. With
Brickell becoming price‐prohibitive for an increasing number of potential tenants, the prospects in
secondary office hubs, such as downtown Dadeland and the emerging CityPlace Doral, have gained
significant attention.

Sales
Due to surging land costs, ground‐up opportunities are pricey, and investments in existing buildings have
become more common in Miami. After seven consecutive years of sales volume increase, total sales
volume dropped off in 2017. The largest trade of 2017 was in June, when a major transaction occurred with
CBRE Global Investors' acquisition of 1111 Lincoln Rd. The 4 Star, nearly 150,000 SF office building was
purchased for more than $160 million. The property sold as part of a portfolio sale that included the
adjacent 300‐space parking garage and specialty building, as well as two lots of land. Another significant
transaction in the city core was the sale of 1221 Brickell which traded to Rockpoint Group LLC for $155
million or $379 per square foot.
Even in suburban submarkets, high‐quality assets are trading for a premium. For example, One Park Square
at Doral was purchased in September 2017 by TA Realty for $96.1 million or $341 per square foot. At the
time of sale, the property was approximately 80% leased with asking rents over $36 per square foot. This
was a strong gain from what the seller, New Boston Fund, paid for the property in 2010, when the property
was almost fully vacant.

The Miami office inventory has grown slowly over the last few years, primarily due to the limited amount of
land available for new construction. The vacancy factor has remained at less than 10% since 2014. Vacancy
is projected to remain at less than 10% for the next five years. Rents have grown steadily since 2005 as

MARKET ANALYSIS
The following information was compiled from published sources and is used in conjunction with primary
and secondary data to analyze the market trends impacting the value of the subject property.
NATIONAL APARTMENT MARKET ‐ PWC
According to the PwC Real Estate Investor Survey, 1st Quarter 2018:
The consensus among surveyed investors is that the national apartment market will remain strong
in 2018; however, oversupply concerns exist for high‐end product and certain geographies.
“Fundamentals will be sturdy outside the luxury segment, and we expect downward pressure on
rents at the top of the market,” says a participant. Another remarks, “There is some room for solid
rent growth, but certain areas are struggling with new supply.”
Trends show that this sector is showing signs of softening. At yearend 2017, the overall vacancy
rate sat at 4.5%, up from 4.2% in 2016, as per Reis. At the same time, its average effective rent
growth dipped from 3.9% to 3.6%. By the end of this year, Reis forecasts vacancy to rise to 5.0%
and effective rent growth to slip to 3.3% amid the delivery of 265,088 new units. “We're expecting
performance to vary by city as new supply is delivered,” states an investor.
The increase in this market’s average overall cap rate and the decline in its average initial‐year
market rent change rate this quarter emphasize participants’ watchful outlook for apartments.
Over the next six months, 58.0% of investors foresee cap rates holding steady while the balance
expects cap rate increases of as much as 50 basis points. (pg. 49)

MIAMI APARTMENT MARKET ANALYSIS
According to the CoStar Multi‐Family Market Report, Miami is starting to experience softening
fundamentals after several years of growth. Construction has escalated in the past several years, and
vacancies have increased every year since 2013. Miami currently has almost 15,000 units under
construction and around 9,000 units set to deliver in 2018. More units will have been delivered in the last
three years than the last 15 years combined.
Despite this remarkable supply pipeline, demand has done a good job of keeping pace, and many of these
new units have been absorbed. Rent growth has stayed positive, though it has decelerated from the record‐
breaking highs seen in early 2015. Annual growth closer to the historical average may become the new
normal in the face of Miami's ongoing supply additions.

Fundamentals
The overall vacancy for the metro has increased about 100 basis points in the last two years, and is
currently hovering around 6%. This is higher than the metro’s historical average but to be expected
considering the amount of new supply being delivered. It should be noted that for the majority of the
expansion, Miami’s vacancy has trended under the national average. However, it is expected to surpass the
nation toward late 2018.
Miami has seen more deliveries come on line in the last three years than in the prior 15 years combined,
and there is no sign of a slowdown in the immediate future. The new projects in Miami have been
predominantly rated as 4 & 5 Star, with condo‐style finishes, and increasingly robust amenities. The
concentrated construction of similar product has not surprisingly pushed vacancy higher within the top tier.
Vacancy in 4 & 5 Star properties is dramatically higher than in lower‐rated properties, peaking at around
15% in early 2017 and more recently settling down to around 13%. This is about 3% higher than the
national average for 4 & 5 Star product, which is also seeing an elevated vacancy rate for this class
compared to 3 Star and below product.
Considering the amount of new supply that is being added to the metro, the metro is seeing very
reasonable lease‐up. In 2017, apartment communities were leasing up at an average of 20 units a month
with two weeks of concessions. This is comparable to 2016 vintage projects, for which units leased at a rate
of about 21 units a month and concessions were closer to three weeks. This stable demand can be partially
attributed to a late surge in job growth in the metro.
Year‐over‐year job growth in Miami is currently outpacing the national average and is expected to continue
to do so for the foreseeable future. Employment growth in the professional and business and health and
education sectors has been good and is actually expected to moderately outpace the national average
through the forecast period. Considering these types of jobs are generally higher paying than the metro’s
median wage, there may be enough demand to keep apartment vacancy from spiking to levels that would
require a reversal of rents.

Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
18‐114‐02 MARKET ANALYSIS

Supply
Units under construction equal 10% of the current inventory in Miami, versus 4% for the nation as a whole.
The majority of new buildings have been 4 & 5 Star luxury apartments, with the majority going up in
Downtown Miami, Wynwood, South Miami, and Doral. A small cluster near the intersection of Highway 1
and the Palmetto Expressway popped up in 2017. Development for 2018 is again concentrated in
downtown, and there are also a few projects on North Beach and in the Coral Way neighborhood.
Supply in Miami is still going strong. Over 5,500 units delivered in 2017, setting a new historic high for the
metro, and 2018 is expected to be supply‐heavy as well, with around 9,000 units underway. Three of these
will include over 500 units. These include SoLe Mia, a high‐rise tower near the Oleta River State Park in
North Miami that will include both condos and apartments; Square Station, a new high‐rise in the heart of
the Arts and Entertainment District; and the apartment portion of the 64‐story Panorama Tower
development in Brickell.
Panorama Tower, which will be Florida's tallest building when it is complete, may not hold the title for long.
Florida East Coast Realty intends to follow up the project with the even more massive One Bayfront Plaza, a
mixed‐use tower expected to break ground in 2019. Under the current plans, One Bayfront Plaza would rise
more than 1,000 feet and include as many as 900 apartment units. Needless to say, the vast majority of
projects of this scale are concentrated in the Brickell/Downtown Miami Submarket, where rents are
typically high enough to justify such high‐end construction.

Rents
The overall rate of rent growth has decelerated significantly in the last two years. If we look specifically at 4
& 5 Star properties, rent growth has actually been cooling off since 2012. Vacancies for 4 & 5 Star
properties hit an all‐time peak of 13% in 2016 and are expected to remain high for the next couple years
due to the wave of properties working through lease‐up. Correspondingly, overall rent growth is forecast to
slow to its historical average of roughly 2%, while growth among 4 & 5 Star product is expected to
decelerate to half of that rate. This is in line with nationwide trends.
Miami is currently in the top 15 of the most expensive metros in the nation. Asking rents per unit are at a
20%premium over the national average. Since Miami’s median household income is more than $10,000
below the national average, purchasing a single‐family home can be difficult for many residents. In the past
five years, average incomes in the metro have increased about 9%, while rents have cumulatively risen
more than 20%.
According to data from the American Community Survey, both renter and owner households of all ages in
Miami are considered overburdened. Nationwide, over 30% of households spend more than 30% of their
incomes toward gross housing costs. In Miami, households are spending nearly 50% of their incomes
towards gross housing costs. Millennials particularly feel the squeeze, as a higher share of them are renters
than owners in Miami, and they are also more likely to be living with a parent or relative than Millennials
elsewhere in the nation.
Miami experiences the most job growth in the leisure and hospitality industry and is also currently
experiencing significantly higher growth in trade, transportation, and utilities. These are typically lower‐
paying, blue‐collar jobs. The rapid rise of rent earlier in the cycle created a large gap between incomes and
rents for most of Miami's citizens. In the near term, rents are likely to continue to grow more slowly as even
more construction in the pipeline will keep competition alive and well.

Sales
Investment in Miami has been elevated the last three years, with 7% of inventory turning over on average.
And despite continuously climbing vacancies and slowing rent growth, pricing has climbed to about
$180,000 per door.
The leading submarket for investment volume in 2017 was Brickell/Downtown Miami, followed closely by
Coral Gables. One of the largest trades in the metro during the last year was the sale of the Manor at
Cityplace Doral in the Miami Springs/Doral Submarket. In August, the 4 Star 398‐unit property was
purchased by TA Realty for$135 million. The previous owner was a joint venture of PGIM Real Estate and
the Related Companies. The property represents the rental portion of the larger mixed‐use center known as
CityPlace Doral, which includes more than 300,000 SF of retail space.

The Miami‐Dade County apartment inventory has grown slowly over the last few years, primarily due to the
limited amount of land available for new construction. The vacancy factor has remained at less than 7%
since 2005. Vacancy is projected to remain at less than 6.5% for the next five years. Rents have grown
steadily since 2005 as shown below. Rents are projected to continue to increase over the next few years.

CONCLUSION
The subject is located in a submarket that has seen steady rent growth as well as low vacancy for the last
12+ years. A limited amount of land for new development has prevented any large‐scale competition in the
area. Most of the new inventory has been constructed in the Doral area of the subject’s submarket. The low
vacancy rate has allowed property owners to increase rental rates, with rents increasing steadily over the
period analyzed. The new construction that has taken place has been immediately absorbed by the market,
indicating the submarket is healthy. The population in the area continues to grow, as some suburban areas
are being redeveloped with higher density apartment buildings, condominiums and townhomes. The
increasing population is a positive sign for retail tenants. Overall, the factors that have led to the subject’s
success appear to be in place and are projected to remain in place for the foreseeable future.

We provided case studies of several mixed‐use developments located throughout Miami‐Dade County in
order to determine the best proposed development mix for the subject property.
Downtown Doral
Downtown Doral is a master planned 250‐acre community. When completed, the $1 billion project will
include Doral City Hall 2,840 residential units, eight condo towers, a charter school, a 3‐acre park, and Main
Street, which will have more than 70 retail stores and restaurants with 180,000 square feet of retail and
more than 1 million square feet of office space. The developer, Codina Partners, completed 5252 Paseo, a
203‐unit 20‐story tower at Downtown Doral, about a year ago. Codina Partners also sold out 5300 Paseo, a
219‐unit building, the second condo tower in Codina’s Downtown Doral mixed‐use development, for $88
million.
According to The Real Deal published 1/27/2016:
The developer said most buyers at 5300 Paseo were looking for second homes. The representative of the
developer said that because of the project’s charter school, they leave a portion of the building at the
end to try to push local buyers. Those units require only 20 percent deposits, pending bank approval.
5300 Paseo was completed in October.
Codina broke ground on a 231‐unit apartment tower and a second, 52,000‐square‐foot phase of retail
at the beginning of April 2017. A 50,000‐square‐foot Publix is also underway, and the developer’s
representative said it’s also likely that a public library will be incorporated into community.
Sieger Suarez Architects designed 5300 Paseo and 5252 Paseo. Amenities at 5300 Paseo include a gym,
yoga and aerobics studio, sauna and treatment areas, social room, playroom and meeting room, an
infinity pool and resort‐style pool deck.
Next in the pipeline is 5350 Park, which is about 50 percent sold. Codina will break ground on that tower
sometime during the second quarter of this year and complete it about 18 months from then. Interest at
5350 Park is coming from Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru, the developer said.
Downtown Doral’s roots lie in the former Koger Office Park, a series of 32 squat office buildings built in
the 1970s that housed mostly government workers. The original developer, Ira Koger, built such projects
as Real Estate Investment Trusts, or REITs, all over the country, using the same model: buy cheap land in
the middle of nowhere and build cheap office buildings, aiming to be the lowest‐cost bidder for
government tenants. That formula worked until Sept. 11, 2001. In the wake of the terrorist attacks, the
U.S. government decided it no longer wanted its employees concentrated in one place, so as not to be
an easy target.
In one of the priciest land deals in Miami‐Dade County history, Codina Partners and Lennar Corp. closed
on a joint purchase of the White Course in Doral, with plans to redevelop the golf course into a mixed‐
use project.
Codina and Lennar are the winning bidders in the sale of the 130‐acre property, beating out developer
and presidential hopeful Donald Trump, Shoma Group’s Masoud Shojaee and others. The seller is GIC,
the sovereign fund of the government of Singapore, which obtained the property through bankruptcy
actions.
“The property is in very high demand,” said Robert Given, vice chairman of investment sales for CBRE,
which marketed the property on behalf of the seller. He declined to disclose the number of bidders, but
said that more than 100 investment groups had requested investment packages.

18‐114‐02 MARKET ANALYSIS
The White Course, located in the northeast quadrant of Northwest 41st Street and Northwest 87th
Avenue, is contiguous to the Trump National Doral Resort and Codina’s 120‐acre Downtown Doral
mixed‐use project.
“It was a complicated transaction,” Given told TRD. “Its use has been a golf course for a very long time
and we are very sensitive in selecting a buyer that is complementary to the city of Doral.”
Codina Partners and Lennar will split the acreage 50/50. Codina said he plans to build, with longtime
partner Jim Carr, about 390 single‐family homes and about 90 townhouses.
“We’re going to build something to complement Downtown Doral,” Codina said. The $1 billion mixed‐
use development will include 2,840 residential units spread between condominium towers, townhouses
and rental units, as well as office buildings, a charter school and government center. Codina and Lennar
are also partnering together on the retail and restaurants component of that project.
“The Doral submarket is a very dynamic market in this real estate cycle,” Given said. “And there is
increasing housing demand in Doral in direct result of the redevelopment of the Trump Doral and Mr.
Codina’s Downtown Doral development.”
White Course
The 130‐acre White Course’s zoning allows for 2,709 residential units, 160,748 square feet of retail, 850,805
square feet of office space, 164,790 square feet of civic/municipal square feet, a school and amphitheater,
according to CBRE’s offering memorandum. Bids were due on July 15, 2014.
The property’s zoning parameters were set forth in a master development agreement between the
property’s predecessor owner, MSR Resort Hotel, in 2012. The agreement is in place for 20 years, and
development must begin within 10 years, according to the CBRE offering. The agreement was part of a
court settlement between the former owner and the city.
CityPlace Doral
Doral is in the midst of transforming with new construction. In addition to Downtown Doral, other projects
include Shoma and the Related Group’s mixed‐use project
Another example of development in the subject’s area is CityPlace Doral, which will consist of a mix of
300,000± SF of retail space. In addition to the commercial properties, living at CityPlace Doral is in the
works with shopping, upscale dining, outdoor cafes, and entertainment that includes a movie theatre. The
CityPlace Apartments is the first phase of the residential portion of this new urban community. Slated to be
completed by this summer, the plans show that there will be 398 apartments. The second phase of rental
apartments, CityPlace Flats, will sit atop the enormous retail project. There will be 300 units in a seven‐
story midrise that is tentatively slated to start construction this summer.
Mana Wynwood
One of the largest developments planned for the Wynwood area is the Mana Wynwood SAP, located east
of I‐95 and west of NW 2nd Avenue and south of NW 29th Street. The Mana Wynwood SAP would consist of
a group of 24‐story towers on three blocks running along Interstate 95 at the district’s western border. The
towers would house a contemplated international trade center that has attracted investment interest.
The Mana special area plan, one of the largest ever seen in the city of Miami, represents a massive up‐
zoning for his holdings, with 10 million square feet of planned development — 2.5 million more square feet
than would be permitted under existing Wynwood (NRD‐1) zoning.

18‐114‐02 MARKET ANALYSIS
According to The Real Deal published 4/5/2017:
Developer Moishe Mana revealed that he’s moving forward with the Mana Wynwood Americas Asia
Trade Center & International Financial Center, a massive trade hub set to break ground by mid‐2018.
The trade center will have more than 10 million square feet and is aimed at facilitating trade
between China and Asia, Latin America, North America and the Caribbean, according to a press
release. Phase one will have 4.68 million square feet of Class A office space, showrooms, retail,
hotels and public space spread across 8.5 acres, and is part of Mana’s big plan for Wynwood.
Mana’s Special Area Plan spans more than 40 acres in the artsy neighborhood. Overall, Mana
Wynwood encompasses 51,146 square feet of civic space, 3,487 residential units, 8,483 parking
spaces, and a 2.5 acre privately owned park dubbed “Mana Commons.”
The trade center is expected to house importers and exporters, logistics companies, and trade and
export agencies, and would be located along I‐95, according to its website. The developer estimates
that it could create about 20,000 indirect and direct jobs in South Florida. Miami’s trade industry
already includes organizations like World Trade Center Miami.
The Miami City Commission approved the SAP in September. The Wynwood Business Improvement
District and Mana agreed to split the developer’s 25‐acre project into two phases. His trade‐oriented
towers along Northwest Fifth Avenue can only be built after receiving building permits for a large
portion of the culture and education‐centric eastern half on Northwest Second Avenue, which
includes the Mana Commons.
Kendall Town Center
Property records show an entity tied to NAI Miami just paid $41.8 million for a large development site near
West Kendall Baptist Hospital.
Kendall Town Center is fully entitled and infrastructure has been completed with the Phase I development
of Baptist Hospital. The Town Center will link new medical office buildings, a community center with an
open‐air retail center, two major department store anchors as well as a sports anchor, and numerous
specialty retail tenants and restaurants. The project DRI allows for more than 731,000 SF of additional
development.
West Kendall Holdings, a subsidiary of the Howard Hughes Corporation, sold the nearly 70‐acre parcel at
the southeast corner of Southwest 88th Street and Southwest 162nd Avenue for about $14 per square foot.
Previous transaction information was not available in property records.
Plans for the parcel are to be determined, Eckstein said, adding that the owners intend to ask local
community members what they want to see built on the site before beginning construction. “We had
someone say they would love to see a Whole Foods,” Eckstein said.
Development of a larger mixed‐use project at the site, previously called Kendall Town Center, has been
stagnant. The first phase of the project, being delivered by multiple developers, was the West Kendall
Baptist Hospital that opened in 2011. More than half a decade later, Gertz Builders and Developers Inc.
scored a construction loan for an adjacent 53,185‐square‐foot retail development called The Pointe at
Kendall Town Center.
The West Kendall suburban area has recently been experiencing additional development and activity. In
September, CVS Pharmacy bought a nearby office building for $7.5 million with plans to construct a new
store and a BB&T Bank. Last month, an entity of Blackstone Group’s real estate investment trust bought an
apartment complex in southwest Miami‐Dade for about $139 million.

MidTown Miami
In 2005, construction began on the "Midtown Miami" development between North 29th and 36th Street
and Miami Avenue and the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) on what was historically an FEC rail yard. The
project is a large‐scale, urban development that was planned with 8 high‐rise residential buildings, a hotel,
two parks, and a major urban shopping area, "The Shops at Midtown". Due to the collapse of the real
estate bubble in 2007, only two residential buildings, and about 2/3 of "The Shops at Midtown" were built.
In July 2011, plans were announced to begin construction on a new entertainment center at Midtown,
including a hotel, and shops on the site of the current temporary park in the center of Midtown. Critics of
Midtown state the lack of parks as a major issue.
Situated in the heart of the Midtown section of Miami, the 1.2 million‐square foot urban, mixed‐use
development is visible from the Julia Tuttle Parkway leading to Miami Beach. The Shops of Midtown Miami
brings 630,000 square feet of an ideal blend of lifestyle and value retail combined with a mix specialty
shops and restaurants.
Once home to a rail yard and registered as brownfield property, this urban space spans three blocks near
Miami’s Design District. The Shops at Midtown Miami continues to be recognized as the industry’s foremost
example of transforming an extremely challenging site into a vibrant mix of retail, dining, residential and
office uses, all contained within an urban design environment. The project was awarded the 2008 Urban
Design Award by the Miami Chapter of AIA.
Located in the Midtown market will be a new Hampton Inn, which will likely serve the needs of the near‐by
Wynwood, Design District and Midtown neighborhoods, all of which were not in their current state just 10
years ago. The construction of the new hotel speaks to the rapid transformation that has taken place in the
last decade in the area. With a design that appears to be a bit of an upgrade for Hampton Inns everywhere,
the new Hampton Inn on Biscayne Boulevard, designed by Kobi Karp is projected to be complete within the
year. Developed by Mayan Properties, the 151‐key hotel will have retail on the ground level and an eight‐
story parking garage in the back. It is replacing the 14‐room Midtown Inn, which was demolished earlier
this year.
Hyde Midtown is currently under construction on the west side of the railroad tracks that run along NE 2nd
Avenue. Hyde Midtown is located at Midtown Avenue and 34th Street. When completed during the second
quarter of 2018, Hyde Midtown will include 60 hotel rooms and 410 luxury condominiums. Arquitectonica
designed the building, while Rockwell Group will finish the lobby, amenity floors, elevator corridors and the
60 designer suites at the development, which will have an additional 410 condos, a seventh‐floor pool
terrace and tennis court, and a private screening center. Hyde Midtown will also feature food and beverage
outlets, a pool and deck, spa and fitness center facilities, and meeting and event spaces. Available units
start at $359,000 and go up to $2 million.
AMLI Residential, a Chicago‐based developer of luxury apartments, bought the 6.6 acres of vacant property
for $55,000,000 ($191/SF; $79,000/unit), which was the former site of a Chiquita Banana shipping facility.
This site sits on the west side of NE 2nd Avenue just north of NE 29th Street, south of the subject. AMLI has
approved plans to develop about 700 apartments on the site, between 2900 to 3010 Northeast Second
Avenue in Miami. AMLI plans two rental building, designed by Zyscovich Architects. The north building
would have 485 units in 12 stories. The south building would have 215 units in eight stories, according to a
release.

RAM Development
There was a recent sale of 80 acres from the University of Miami to RAM, a South Florida developer. RAM
acquired 80 acres in southwest Miami‐Dade County, just west of the Homestead Extension of Florida’s
Turnpike. After approximately 3 years of getting approvals, this site is slated for the construction of 900
residential units, and 300,000 SF of commercial space, plus restaurants, and possibly other uses. The first
phase will include 408 rental apartments plus a WalMart anchored shopping center. Leases have been
signed with LA Fitness, Panera, Chick‐fil‐A and Chili’s. Further lease negotiations are underway with other
national retail tenants. The second phase of the retail development will include 50,000 SF. 30% of the land
is to be set aside as a preserve.
Biscayne Landing
Another example is Biscayne Landing. Biscayne Landing is a 193± acre master‐planned community located
in North Miami. The entire project calls for more than 4,000 residences, 37 acres of parks and recreation
space and more than 800,000 square feet of retail space at Northeast 151st Street and Biscayne Boulevard.
Biscayne Landing is the result of a partnership between the City of North Miami and Boca Developers. The
city has leased the former superfund landfill to Boca Developers for two hundred years. As part of the
partnership agreement with the city, Boca Developers will match the construction of new residences at
Biscayne Landing with an equal number of new or rehabilitated affordable housing units on brown field
sites within the city. In addition, Boca Developers has also committed up to $25 million toward the
renovation and expansion of North Miami's library, the construction of an Olympic training facility, and
construction of the David Lawrence, Jr. K‐8 School.
Case Study Conclusion
We analyzed four developments of which we have information on the total buildout. We looked at
multifamily density and intensity of retail and office properties.
We analyzed each property in relation to the subject’s size and determined the average density of each
property type.
We used a multiplier in comparison to the subject’s size and determined based upon the intensity of use,
what the subject could be developed with, assuming the hypothetical condition that the subject has been
rezoned to its highest and best use under Miami 21 Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning.
Development Downtown Doral Biscayne Landing RAM White Course Averages
Downtown Doral is a 250‐acre mixed use development with 2,840 multifamily units, 180,000 SF of retail
and 1,000,000 SF of office. Assuming an average unit size of 1,000 SF including all common areas for the
multifamily units, this equates to 2,840,000 SF. The total buildable square feet for this property is
4,020,000, which equates to an FAR of 0.37.
74
Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
18‐114‐02 MARKET ANALYSIS
The subject’s parcel is 52% of the Downtown Doral Parcel. We applied this multiplier to the Downtown
Doral development and concluded that the subject can be built with 1,488 multifamily units, 94,320 SF of
retail and 524,000 SF of office.
Biscayne Landing is a 193‐acre mixed use development with 4,000 multifamily units and 800,000 SF of
retail. Assuming an average unit size of 1,000 SF including all common areas for the multifamily units, this
equates to 4,000,000 SF. The total buildable square feet for this property is 4,800,000, which equates to an
FAR of 0.57.
The subject’s parcel is 68% of the Biscayne Landing Parcel. We applied this multiplier to the Biscayne
Landing development and concluded that the subject can be built with 2,715 multifamily units and 543,005
SF of retail.
RAM Development is an 80‐acre mixed use development with 900 multifamily units and 300,000 SF of
retail. Assuming an average unit size of 1,000 SF including all common areas for the multifamily units, this
equates to 900,000 SF. The total buildable square feet for this property is 1,200,000, which equates to an
FAR of 0.34.
The subject’s parcel is 164% of the RAM Development Parcel. We applied this multiplier to the RAM
Development and concluded that the subject can be built with 1,474 multifamily units and 491,250 SF of
retail.
White Course is a 130‐acre mixed use development with 2,709 multifamily units, 160,748 SF of retail and
850,805 SF of office. Assuming an average unit size of 1,000 SF including all common areas for the
multifamily units, this equates to 2,709,000 SF. The total buildable square feet for this property is
3,720,553, which equates to an FAR of 0.66.
The subject’s parcel is 101% of the White Course Parcel. We applied this multiplier to the White Course
development and concluded that the subject can be built with 2,730 multifamily units, 161,985 SF of retail
and 857,350 SF of office.
The averages for all four developments equates to 163 acres with 2,612 multifamily units, 360,187 SF of
retail and 462,701 SF of office.
The subject’s parcel is 96% of the total averages. We applied this multiplier to the total averages and
concluded that the subject can be built with 2,102 multifamily units, 322,640 SF of retail and 345,337 SF of
office.
The average density for multifamily equates to 16 units per acre for the subject’s parcel. Based upon an
average of 1,000 SF per unit including all common areas, the average FAR equates to roughly 0.37 for the
total parcel. The retail/office space equates to roughly 0.12 FAR for the total parcel.
The total buildable square feet for the total property equates to 2,769,977. This equates to an FAR of
0.4851.
Each of the developments analyzed may also have common areas, as well as some community
development, such as schools, parks and municipal buildings.

ZONING AUTHORITY City of Miami
ZONING CODE CS
ZONING DESCRIPTION Civic Space
PERMITTED USES Marina is the only use allowed by right. Food service
establishment, open air retail, community facility, recreational
facility, infrastructure and utilities are allowed by warrant:
administrative process. General commercial, marine related
commercial, childcare, and learning center are allowed by
exception: public hearing.
COMMENTS The Civic Zone consists of public use space and facilities that may
contrast in use to their surroundings while reflecting adjacent
setbacks and landscape.
Based on a review of the subject in relation to the CS zoning district, it appears the subject is a legal and
conforming use of the site. However, we are not experts in determining if a property is fully in compliance
with all aspects of the zoning code. We suggest interested parties obtain a letter of zoning compliance from
the City of Miami to determine if the subject is zoning compliant.
The subject is also classified as Public Parks and Recreation under the City of Miami and Miami‐Dade
County Land Use Plan. Therefore, any use of the site would have to comply with the underlying land use
classification, which typically includes active and passive recreational uses, nature preserves,
environmentally sensitive areas, etc.
The subject’s underlying land use currently would prohibit development of the site with uses that are not
permitted under the Public Parks and Recreation land use designation. If the subject site were offered for
sale, potential purchasers would consider this fact, but also consider the possibility of having the
designation changed in the future. There are many instances of the land use being modified to consider
additional needs in the community.
In order for the subject to be developed to its highest and best use under Miami 21 Special Area Plan (SAP)
zoning, a Zoning Hearing would be required. Zoning Hearings are required for approval of all new proposals,
and all development plans for a proposed use of land or a proposed structure that have been disapproved
by staff.

Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
18‐114‐02 ZONING
Most large site developments require some sort of modification to the future land use map, or approvals
based on the type of development contemplated. Issues that are addressed in the process include
adequacy of service to the site, environmental impacts, traffic issues, availability of utilities, etc.
Under the Miami 21 Zoning Code, a Special Area Plan is as follows:
3.9 SPECIAL AREA PLANS
The purpose of a Special Area Plan is to allow parcels greater than nine (9) Abutting acres in size to be
master planned so as to allow greater integration of public improvements and Infrastructure, and greater
flexibility so as to result in higher or specialized quality building and Streetscape design within the Special
Area Plan.
The purpose of a Special Area Plan further is to encourage the assembly and master planning of parcels
greater than nine (9) Abutting acres in size, in order to provide greater integration of public and private
improvements and Infrastructure; to enable Thoroughfare connectivity; to encourage a variety of Building
Heights, massing and Streetscape design, and to provide high quality design elements, all in order to further
the intent of this Code expressed in Article 2.
3.9.1 General
a) The single or multiple owner(s) of Abutting properties in excess of nine (9) acres may apply for a
rezoning to a Special Area Plan.
b) A Special Area Plan shall be approved by the process of rezoning with or without Transect changes.
c) A Special Area Plan shall assign Thoroughfares, Transect Zones and Civic Space Types, with
appropriate transitions to Abutting areas. Guidelines for Thoroughfares and Public Frontages may be
adjusted to the particular circumstances of the Special Area Plan.
d) A Special Area Plan shall include a map of the Thoroughfares and Transect Zones, and the standards
that deviate from the requirements of Article 5.
e) A Special Area Plan shall assign at least five percent (5%) of its aggregated Lot Area to a Civic Space
Type. Civic Building sites are to be located within or adjacent to Civic Space Types or at the axial
termination of significant Thoroughfares. The developer shall be responsible for constructing the public
improvements within the Special Area Plan, including but not limited to the Civic Space Types and
Thoroughfares.
f) Development within the Special Area Plan shall be pursuant to a recorded development agreement
that will establish the allocation of Thoroughfares and Civic Space Types and Building Area among the
Building sites, and the creation and retention of the public benefits.
g) Unless a Building is specifically approved as part of the Special Area Plan, any Building shall be
reviewed by the Planning Director, after referral to and recommendation from the CRC for
conformance to the Plan, prior to issuance of the Building Permit.
h) A Special Area Plan may include:
1. A differentiation of the Thoroughfares as a Primary‐Grid (A‐Grid) and a Secondary‐Grid (B‐Grid).
Buildings along the A‐Grid shall be held to the highest standard of this Code in support of pedestrian
activity. Buildings along the B‐Grid may be more readily considered for automobile‐oriented
standards allowing surface parking lots, unlined parking decks, and drive‐throughs. The Frontages
assigned to the B‐Grid shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total length within a Special Area
Plan. For Frontages on the B‐Grid, parking areas may be allowed in the Second Layer.
79
Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
18‐114‐02 ZONING
2. Retail Frontage requiring that a Building provide a Commercial Use at sidewalk level along the
entire length of the Frontage. The Commercial Use Building shall be no less than seventy percent
(70%) glazed in clear glass and provided with an Awning overlapping the sidewalk as generally
illustrated in Article 4, Table 6. The first floor should be confined to Retail Use through the depth of
the Second Layer.
3. Gallery or Arcade Frontage, requiring that a Building provide a permanent cover over the
sidewalk, either cantilevered or supported by columns. The Gallery or Arcade Frontage may be
combined with a Retail Frontage as shown in Article 4, Table 6. Gallery or Arcade Frontage within the
First Layer may apply towards Open Space requirements.
4. Build‐to‐lines that differ from Transect Zone Setback requirement.
5. A Terminated Vista location, requiring that the Building be provided with architectural articulation
of a Type and character that responds to the location.
6. A Pedestrian Passage, requiring a minimum ten (10) foot wide pedestrian access be reserved
between Buildings.
7. A preservation plan acceptable to the Historic and Environmental Preservation Board for any
historic resources in the area of the Special Area Plan.
8. Area Design Guidelines.
9. A parking management program that enables shared parking among public and private Uses.
10. Flexible allocation of development capacity and Height, excluding Density on individual sites
within the Special Area Plan shall be allowed so long as the capacity or Height distribution does not
result in development that is out of Scale or character with the surrounding area, and provides for
appropriate transitions.
An example of the approval process is the recent sale of 80 acres from the University of Miami to RAM, a
South Florida developer. RAM acquired 80 acres in southwest Miami‐Dade County, just west of the
Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike. After approximately 3 years to obtain approvals, this site is
slated for the construction of 900 residential units, and 300,000 SF of commercial space, plus restaurants,
and possibly other uses. The first phase will include 408 rental apartments plus a WalMart anchored
shopping center. Leases have been signed with LA Fitness, Panera, Chick‐fil‐A and Chili’s. Further lease
negotiations are underway with other national retail tenants. The second phase of the retail development
will include 50,000 SF. 30% of the land is to be set aside as a preserve.
In the Market Analysis section of this report, we analyzed four developments of which we have information
on the total buildout. We looked at multifamily density and intensity of retail and office properties.
We analyzed each property in relation to the subject’s size and determined the average density of each
property type.
We used a multiplier in comparison to the subject’s size and determined based upon the intensity of use,
what the subject could be developed with, assuming the hypothetical condition that the subject has been
rezoned to its highest and best use under Miami 21 Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning.
80
Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
18‐114‐02 ZONING
The averages for all four developments equates to 163 acres with 2,612 multifamily units, 360,187 SF of
retail and 462,701 SF of office.
The subject’s parcel is 96% of the total averages. We applied this multiplier to the total averages and
concluded that the subject can be built with 2,102 multifamily units, 322,640 SF of retail and 345,337 SF of
office.
The average density for multifamily equates to 16 units per acre for the subject’s parcel. Based upon an
average of 1,000 SF per unit including all common areas, the average FAR equates to roughly 0.37 for the
total parcel. The retail/office space equates to roughly 0.12 FAR for the total parcel.
The total buildable square feet for the total property equates to 2,769,977. This equates to an FAR of
0.4851.
Each of the developments analyzed may also have common areas, as well as some community
development, such as schools, parks and municipal buildings.
Based on a review of the existing land use, as well as the land uses on surrounding sites, we estimate that
potential purchasers of the subject site would anticipate some time would pass before they could
successfully modify the future land use map to allow for development.

83
Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
18‐114‐02 HIGHEST AND BEST USE
FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE
Analysis for financially feasible uses for the site, as if vacant, involves consideration of several criteria.
Unlike the physically possible and legally permissible aspects of the highest and best use analysis, many
external economic factors serve to prove or disprove financial feasibility. The cost of acquisition, sources of
capital, forecast of potential revenue/expenses, reversionary price forecast, property tax implications and
measures of risk and yield are all determinant to this analysis. The above financial measures serve to
eliminate the uses that would not provide a reasonable return to the land based on an investor's
expectations.
The cost of land and its development limits the highest and best use of the site, generally to only those uses
that are financially feasible.
We conclude that financially feasible uses of the site that are physically possible and legally permissible are
to maximize the utility of the site in relation to the zoning.
MAXIMALLY PRODUCTIVE
We considered those uses, as aforementioned, to meet the physically possible, legally permissible and
financially feasible tenets of the highest and best use definition. The final criteria for full compliance within
the highest and best use of the subject, as vacant, is that of a maximally productive use. We conclude the
maximally productive use of the site is to maximize the utility of the site in relation to the zoning.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE, AS IF VACANT
A final reconciliation of the analysis leads to the conclusion that the highest and best use of the site, as if
vacant, is to maximize the utility of the site in relation to the zoning.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE, ASSUMING THE HYPOTHETICAL CONDITION THAT THE SUBJECT HAS
BEEN REZONED TO ITS HIGHEST AND BEST USE UNDER MIAMI 21 SPECIAL AREA PLAN ZONING
We must also determine the highest and best use of the subject by analyzing occupancy levels of various
surrounding improvements, as well as the general needs within the area. Based on the current conditions
of the subject's market, the highest and best use of the subject, as improved, is the redevelopment of the
existing improvements with a more intensive use.
In order to determine the subject’s highest and best use, we researched the decisions made by investors in
other properties similar to the subject. We presented a Market Analysis for office, retail and residential
uses, since those would be the most likely uses at the subject. Office uses could include a campus type
setting of buildings to take advantage of the location adjacent to State Road‐836 and the Miami
International Airport. Residential uses could include standard market rate apartments for the surrounding
general population. Commercial uses could also be for the surrounding population.
As discussed in the Market Analysis section, the averages for the four case study developments equates to
163 acres with 2,612 multifamily units, 360,187 SF of retail and 462,701 SF of office.
The subject’s parcel is 96% of the total averages. We applied this multiplier to the total averages and
concluded that the subject can be built with 2,102 multifamily units, 322,640 SF of retail and 345,337 SF of
office.
The average density for multifamily equates to 16 units per acre for the subject’s parcel. Based upon an
average of 1,000 SF per unit including all common areas, the average FAR equates to roughly 0.37 for the
total parcel. The retail/office space equates to roughly 0.12 FAR for the total parcel.
The total buildable square feet for the total property equates to 2,769,977. This equates to an FAR of
0.4851.
84
Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
18‐114‐02 HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Each of the developments analyzed may also have common areas, as well as some community
development, such as schools, parks and municipal buildings.
Therefore, based on the actions of developers in the region, we conclude that if the subject site were
available for development, it would be purchased for mixed‐use development that would likely include a
retail component, a residential component and perhaps an office component, if demand existed from a
particular tenant or group of tenants. The composition and timing of the components could be changed
based upon future market conditions. This development would have to meet the requirements of the
Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning, as well as height restrictions from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

18‐114‐02 ANALYSIS OF DATA AND CONCLUSIONS
IDENTIFICATION OF A LIKELY BUYER
The most likely buyer of a property such as the subject, assuming the hypothetical condition that the
subject has been rezoned to its highest and best use under Miami 21 Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning, would
be a large regional or national investor who would recognize the long‐term economic potential of the
property. These factors will be considered in the valuation of the subject.
VALUATION METHODOLOGIES
In appraising a property, there are three traditional valuation methodologies that can be applied: the Cost,
Income Capitalization and Sales Comparison Approaches. Selection of one or more of the approaches in the
appraisal of a property rests primarily upon the property type and its physical characteristics, as well as the
quality and quantity of available market data.
In the Land Value section, market data is presented along with an analysis of the data and reasoning that
lead to the land value opinion.
The Cost Approach is based on the premise that an informed purchaser will not pay more for a property
than it would cost him or her to construct a property of similar utility. This approach is most applicable
when the subject is of new or nearly new construction and the improvements represent the highest and
best use of the site. This approach is also particularly useful when appraising unique or special purpose
properties where there are few, if any, comparable sales or leases.
The Income Capitalization Approach is based on the fundamental investment premise that the higher a
property’s earnings, the higher its value. Investment in an income‐producing property represents the
exchange of present dollars for the right to receive future dollars. In this approach, a value indication for an
income‐producing property is derived by converting its anticipated benefits (cash flows and reversion) into
property value. This conversion can be accomplished in two ways: one year’s income expectancy can be
capitalized at a market‐derived capitalization rate, or alternatively, the annual cash flows for the holding
period and the reversion can be discounted at a specified yield rate. The Income Capitalization Approach
typically provides the most meaningful estimate of value for income‐producing properties.
The Sales Comparison Approach involves delineating appropriate units of measurement from comparable
sales, in order to apply them to the subject’s property. Adjustments are then made to the sales prices of the
comparable properties based on various shared elements. This methodology may be used to value many
different types of improved properties and vacant land, as long as there is a sufficient quantity of good‐
quality market data available. It becomes less reliable as the quantity and magnitude of adjustments
increases, and it is generally not applicable to unique or special purpose properties.
The final step in the valuation process is the reconciliation or correlation of the value indications. In the
reconciliation or correlation, we consider the relative applicability of each of the approaches used, examine
the range between the value indications, and place major emphasis on the approach that appears to
produce the most reliable and credible result.
VALUATION METHODOLOGIES APPLICABLE TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
Since we are valuing the underlying land, the approach applicable in the valuation of the fee simple estate
of the subject is the Sales Comparison Approach.
We did not use the residual technique to value the subject. Within the Market Analysis we summarized
current large mixed‐use developments in Miami‐Dade County. From this data, we were able to provide a
rough estimate of what market participants could develop on a large site in an in‐fill location. However, that
conclusion does not provide the level of detail that would be required to complete a valuation using the
residual technique.
86
Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
18‐114‐02 ANALYSIS OF DATA AND CONCLUSIONS
The subject is currently CS zoned and does not have any specific plans. In order to credibly value the subject
using a land residual technique we would need to have a specific develop plan, with cost estimates,
allowable densities, property types, open space requirements, public use requirements, etc. We are of the
opinion that using residual technique would be unreliable, in the absence of more specific development
data.
87
Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club Land
18‐114‐02 LAND VALUE
LAND VALUATION
The land, as if vacant, is valued by direct sales comparison, in which sales of comparable sites within the
subject's area are analyzed in context with the subject's site. Adjustments are made to compensate for
differences between the submitted sales data and the subject for such factors as location, size, shape,
topography, utility, and marketability, etc. Land sales are presented to arrive at a $/SF for the subject. In an
effort to locate comparable land sales, a search throughout the subject’s area was conducted. The
presented sales are valid indicators of land values in the subject’s area. Information pertaining to these
sales has been verified by the buyer, seller, broker or other sources considered reliable and having
knowledge of the particular transaction when available.
Briefly described, the subject of this appraisal consists of the 131.0738 acres or 5,709,575 SF of land
underlying the Miami International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club. The portion of this overall site that we
are appraising has yet to be specified in regards to exact location or size. The parcel is improved with an 18‐
hole golf course, with a driving range and practice putting greens. The subject is also improved with four
buildings that were constructed from the 1960's to 2000's that are used as a golf learning center, pro shop,
full‐service restaurant, maintenance building, and other ancillary uses for the operation of a golf course.
The site is owned by the City of Miami and leased to the current golf course operator. The site is irregular in
shape and is level and street grade.
The subject is zoned “CS,” Civic Space, under the jurisdiction of the City of Miami, Florida. This zoning
designation permits a wide variety of uses; however, a marina is the only use permitted by right. Other
commercial uses could possibly be permitted after a public hearing.
The purpose of the appraisal is to develop an opinion of: 1) the market value of the fee simple estate of an
unspecified portion of the 131.0738 acres of land underlying the Miami International Links ‐ Melreese
Country Club, assuming the hypothetical condition that the subject has been rezoned to its highest and best
use under Miami 21 Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning, as of April 10, 2018, and 2) the rental value of a portion
of the underlying land, assuming the hypothetical condition that the subject has been rezoned to its highest
and best use under Miami 21 Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning, as of April 10, 2018.
In order to determine the 'As Rezoned' value estimate of the subject based on its highest and best use, this
appraisal is based on the hypothetical condition that the appropriate Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning to build
to the property's highest and best use, is in place as of the date of value.
The following land sales are located in Miami‐Dade County and represent the actual actions of developers
who purchased sites similar to the subject, that allow for many types of development. These market
participants’ actions are considered to be representative of a potential purchaser of the subject. Since the
the projected highest and best use of the subject is for a mixed‐use development, we have included an
array of land sales which reflect different planned uses.

This sale is recorded in three separate transactions to White Course Lennar LLC, CC Homes at Doral, and CC‐WCD TIC ‐
subsidiaries of Codina Partners and Lennar Homes. The buyers will reportedly split the property 50/50. The golf course is
contiguous to the Trump National Doral Resort and Codina’s 120‐acre Downtown Doral mixed‐use project. The developers
have submitted plans to the city of Doral for 2,209 residential units, 30,000 square feet of retail space and 150,000 square
feet of office space, according to a spokesperson for Codina. As planned, 7 acres will be set aside for civic use to be
determined by the city, as well as a school for grades 6‐12 that will complement the K‐5 charter school at Downtown Doral.
The property’s zoning parameters were set forth in a master development agreement between the property’s predecessor
owner, MSR Resort Hotel, in 2012. The agreement is in place for 20 years, and development must begin within 10 years,
according to the CBRE offering. The agreement was part of a court settlement between the former owner and the city. The
seller is GWC Miami Property LLC, an affiliate of GIC, the sovereign fund of the government of Singapore. GIC acquired the
property through bankruptcy actions. The gross land area of this sale is 132.20, with approximately 12 acres of this parcel
consisting of submerged lands. Therefore, we have utilized the net land area of 120.2 acres in calculating the unit price for
this sale.

Conditions of Sale
The conditions of sale for each sale are shown in the adjustment grid. The subject is valued in this report on
the basis of an arm's length transaction. No adjustments for conditions of sale were made to the sales.
Market Conditions
In terms of an adjustment for market conditions, from the sales shown, it is somewhat subjective to
determine an exact adjustment. We have applied a 3% adjustment to each comparable, annualized from
the date of each sale to April 10, 2018.
Location
The adjustment for location reflects the trend that properties in areas of active growth and development,
as well as those which offer good accessibility in terms of frontage on major thoroughfares, should sell for a
higher price per SF than properties which do not offer these attributes, with all other factors held constant.
The subject is located along the north side of State Road‐836, extending from NW 37th Avenue to NW 42nd
Avenue, in the City of Miami, Miami‐Dade County, Florida.
Sale 1 is located in the West Kendall area at SW 160th Avenue and SW 96th Street. This location is
considered inferior to the subject. Therefore, this sale is adjusted upward.
Sale 2 is located in northwest Miami‐Dade County, adjacent to the Calder Racetrack, east of NW 27th
Avenue, with visibility from Florida’s Turnpike. While the parcel is along an expressway, it is considered
inferior to the subject. Therefore, this sale is adjusted upward.
Sale 3 is located in the heart of Doral as part of the Doral Resort and Golf Club. This location is in the
western suburbs of Miami‐Dade County and is considered to be inferior to the subject’s. Therefore, this
sale will be adjusted upward for this factor.
Sale 4 is located along I‐75 at NW 154 Street in Miami Lakes. While visibility is good, this parcel has inferior
accessibility. Therefore, this sale is considered inferior to the subject. Thus, this sale is adjusted upward for
location.
Size
In terms of size, it is noted that smaller parcels typically sell for a higher price per SF than larger parcels,
with all other factors held constant. The subject contains a total of approximately 131.0738 acres or
5,709,575 SF.
Sales 1 and 2 are smaller than the subject and will be adjusted downward.
Sales 3 is similar in size to the subject, with no adjustment necessary for this factor.
The gross land area of Sale 4 is similar to the subject; however, this sale contains a large lake located in the
center of the parcel. The residential development that is being constructed on this site is being built around
the lake. Therefore, the net land area of this sale is smaller than the subject’s, and will be adjusted
downward.
Zoning
The subject’s site as rezoned should be for a mixed‐use development based on an approved Special Area
Plan (SAP), under the jurisdiction of City of Miami, FL.
Based upon the subject’s highest and best use, we determined each of the sales zoning are considered
inferior to the subject. Therefore, upward adjustments are made for zoning to each of the subject parcels.

Topography
The subject’s site is level and at street grade.
No adjustments are made for topography to the sales.
Required Site Work
The subject is valued as if vacant and available for development.
No adjustments are made for required site work to the sales.
Shape
The shape of the subject’s site is generally rectangular in shape.
No adjustments are made for shape of the site to the sales.
Utility of Site
The subject consists of a 131.0738‐ acre site that is currently being used as a golf course. The site contains
some water hazards located throughout the golf course that could be filled in prior to any development.
Therefore, the entire subject is considered to be usable.
Sales 1 and 2 have similar utility as the subject, with no adjustment necessary.
Sale 3 contains approximately 12 acres of submerged land that is considered to be undevelopable.
Therefore, this sale will be adjusted downward.
Sale 4 contains a 69.64‐acre lake located in the middle of the site. The single‐family development that is
being constructed will be built around the lake. Overall, the utility of this site is considered to be inferior to
the subject’s and will be adjusted downward.

18‐114‐02 LAND VALUE
Based on the comparables and the adjustments made to them, we conclude to a value in the range of
$22.50/SF to $27.50/SF. We conclude to the middle of this range at $25.00/SF. Since the client will possibly
lease an undetermined portion of the subject, we have not been provided an exact size. Therefore, we have
not calculated an overall value.
Land Value Conclusion $25.00 /SF
Indicated Land Value $25.00/SF
This unit value conclusion is based on the 131.0738‐acre size of the subject. If the size of the parcel sold is
different in size, the unit value may be impacted.
In addition to the land sales greater than 50 acres included in the previous adjustment chart, we have also
researched other commercially zoned land sales ranging from 20 to 50 acres located in Miami‐Dade County,
illustrated in the chart below:

These sales are indicating unit prices ranging from $23.32/SF to $39.00/SF, with an average unit price of
$27.41/SF. Comparable B is considered to be superior than these other comparables being located in the
City of Doral and having direct frontage and exposure to the Palmetto Expressway.
Our unit value conclusion for the subject is slightly above the range indicated by Comparables A, B, and D.
These three comparables are considered to be inferior in location to the subject since they are located in
the western areas of Miami‐Dade County. The subject is located adjacent to State Road‐836 and the Miami
Intenational Airport in an in‐fill area.

DETERMINATION OF LAND RENT
The subject of this appraisal consists of the 131.0738 acres or 5,709,575 SF of land underlying the Miami
International Links ‐ Melreese Country Club. The portion of this overall site that we are appraising has yet to
be specified in regards to exact location or size. The parcel is improved with an 18‐hole golf course, with a
driving range and practice putting greens. The subject is also improved with four buildings that were
constructed from the 1960's to 2000's that are used as a golf learning center, pro shop, full‐service
restaurant, maintenance building, and other ancillary uses for the operation of a golf course. The site is
owned by the City of Miami and leased to the current golf course operator.
We have been requested by the client to project a market rental rate for the subject’s site, as if vacant and
zoned to its highest and best use under Miami 21 Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning. In order to calculate the
market rent, we have researched market capitalization rates for land in Miami‐Dade County to determine
the subject’s market lease rental rate. The following comparable sales represent the purchase of parcel of
land where the tenant was completely responsible for the construction and maintenance of the structure
subsequently constructed on the sites. The sales presented are all located in Miami‐Dade County, and have
all transpired over the period January of 2015 through April of 2017. Therefore, the comparable sales are
considered to be similar in terms of market conditions.

The comparable sales noted above range from 4.25% to 7.24% with an average of 5.06%.
We also considered national investor’s survey data before reaching a capitalization rate conclusion for the
subject site.
The following table summarizes prevailing land lease capitalization and discount rates. The former reflects
initial rates of return on appraised values for vacant land proposed for development. They do not address
increases in land lease payments or the reversion but may include percentage rent. The latter are internal
rates of return being achieved by landowners on improved properties. As such, they include changes in land
lease payments, percentage rent where applicable, and the reversion of the entire property at the
termination of the lease. Total lease terms range from 40 to 99 years, while fixed rent periods range from
one to 10 years. Generally, short‐term (1‐3 years) fixed rent periods auto‐adjust based on a national
reference rate such as the Consumer Price Index, while long‐term (5‐10 years) fixed rent periods are based
on appraised values but are often subject to negotiation and/or arbitration.

The capitalization rates for land leases for apartment use range from 2.47% to 10.64% with an average of
6.51%. The rates for retail use range from 2.51% to 12.01% with an average of 6.98%. The rates for office
use range from 2.77% to 10.64% with an average of 7.01%.
The highest and best use of the subject site is for mixed‐use residential/retail/office development. The
subject is located within the northwest quadrant of the interchange of State Road‐836 and LeJeune Road,
having good visibility and exposure.
We placed primarily weight on the sales in the local market, since they consider the current economic
condition of Miami‐Dade County, the amount of commercial land available (on a relative basis), and the
competition for mixed‐use development sites.
As previously mentioned, the comparable sales noted a range from 4.25% to 7.24% with an average of
5.06%. Comparable 5 is in an inferior location compared to the other comparables, and has a capitalization
rate well above the range. Excluding this sale, the range of cap rates is 4.25% to 5.49%, with an average of
4.69%.
Based on the comparables, as well as the chart above, we are of the opinion that an appropriate overall
rate for the subject, assuming that it has been rezoned to its highest and best use, should be between
4.50% to 5.50%. Therefore, we have concluded to an overall rate in the middle of this range of 5.00%.
The annual rental rate for the subject’s site, as if vacant and rezoned to its highest and best use, is
calculated as follows:
LAND VALUE CONCLUSION $25.00/SF
MULTIPLIED BY CAPITALIZATION RATE 0.05
INDICATED RENTAL RATE $1.25/SF
This rental value conclusion is based on the 131.0738‐acre size of the subject. If the size of the parcel
leased is different in size, the rental value may be impacted.
The market rental rates presented are expressed as a net rental rate with all expenses associated with the
property; real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, payroll, management, etc. borne by the lease.

18‐114‐02 RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE
The Sales Comparison Approach was employed in the valuation of the subject. The values derived via these
methods are shown below:
"As Rezoned to Highest and Best Use" Value (4/10/2018)
Land Value $25.00/SF
Final Value Opinion $25.00/SF
"As Rezoned to Highest and Best Use" Rental Value (4/10/2018)
Final Rental Value $1.25/SF
In the approach utilized, we have attempted to summarize all the input data and have briefly explained our
methodology in processing and/or analyzing this data. Insofar as we have been able to determine, this data
has been obtained from reliable sources and was accepted as being accurate. We give full recognition to
the inherent weaknesses of this approach. It should be acknowledged that because the appraisal of real
property is not an exact science, professional judgment on our part becomes a component of each of the
recognized approach.
The Sales Comparison Approach is dependent on a direct comparative technique of the sale, or offering of,
similar properties. Since no two properties are ever identical, it is necessary to analyze and determine the
degree of comparability between the subject and the sale properties for differences. The primary unit of
comparison utilized in the valuation of the subject was the price per SF. A number of recent sales of
comparable properties were uncovered, and after the adjustment process, we concluded to a value/price
per SF for the subject.
After an inspection of the subject, and analysis of pertinent physical and economic factors that affect value,
we are of the opinion that the market value of the fee simple estate of the subject, assuming the
hypothetical condition that the subject has been rezoned to its highest and best use under Miami 21
Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning, as of April 10, 2018, on a per square foot basis is:
$25.00/SF
TWENTY‐FIVE DOLLARS PER SQUARE FOOT
This unit value conclusion is based on the 131.0738‐acre size of the subject. If the size of the parcel sold is
different in size, the unit value may be impacted.
We are of the opinion that the rental value of the subject’s underlying land, assuming the hypothetical
condition that the subject has been rezoned to its highest and best use under Miami 21 Special Area Plan
(SAP) zoning, as of April 10, 2018, on a per square foot basis is:
$1.25/SF
ONE DOLLAR TWENTY‐FIVE CENTS PER SQUARE FOOT
This rental value conclusion is based on the 131.0738‐acre size of the subject. If the size of the parcel
leased is different in size, the rental value may be impacted.
This rental value should be re‐evaluated approximately every five years to take into consideration any
change in market value, which would have an effect on the market rental rate. Rental rates for land are
typically adjusted every five years in the market.
This appraisal is based on extraordinary assumptions that we do not consider any current leases in place.
The use of the aforementioned Extraordinary Assumptions might have affected the assignment results.
The 'As Rezoned' value estimate in this appraisal is based on the hypothetical condition that the
appropriate Special Area Plan (SAP) zoning to build to the property's highest and best use, is in place as of
the date of value.

record profile grade elevation of the street Abutting the Principal Frontage of the Building, as deter-
mined by the Public Works Department. In the event that the base flood elevation, as established
by FEMA, is higher than the sidewalk or grade elevations, the Height of the first Story but not the
height of Fences and walls shall be measured from the base flood elevation.
3.5.2 A Story is a Habitable level within a Building of a maximum fourteen (14) feet in Height from finished
floor to finished floor. Basements are not considered Stories for the purposes of determining Building
Height. A ground level retail Story may exceed this limit up to a total height of twenty-five (25) feet. A
single floor level exceeding fourteen (14) feet, or twenty-five (25) feet at ground level retail, shall be
counted as two (2) Stories; except for T6-36, T6-48, T6-60, T6-80, and D1, where a single floor level
exceeding fourteen (14) feet may count as one (1) story if the building height does not exceed the
maximum height, including all applicable bonuses, allowed by the transect at fourteen (14) feet per
floor. Where the first two stories are retail, their total combined Height shall not exceed thirty-nine
(39) feet and the first floor shall be a minimum of fourteen (14) feet in Height. Mezzanines may not
exceed thirty-three percent (33%) of the Habitable Space Floor Area, except for D1, where mezza-
nines may not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Habitable Space Floor Area. Mezzanines extending
beyond thirty-three percent (33%) of the Floor Area, or fifty percent (50%) of the Floor Area in D1,
shall be counted as an additional floor. The Height of a Parking Structure concealed by a Liner may
be equal to the Height of the Liner; this may result in a Liner Story concealing more than one level
of Parking.
3.5.3 Except as specifically provided herein, the Height limitations of this Code shall not apply to any roof
Structures for housing elevators, stairways, tanks, ventilating fans, solar energy collectors, or similar
equipment required to operate and maintain the Building (provided that such Structures shall not
cover more than twenty percent (20%) of roof area for T4 and T5); nor to church spires, steeples,
belfries, monuments, water towers, flagpoles, vents, or similar Structures, which may be allowed
to exceed the maximum Height by Waiver; nor to fire or parapet walls, which shall not extend more
than five (5) feet above the maximum Height in T4 and T5 and ten (10) feet in T6 and Districts.
3.5.4 No Building or other Structure shall be located in a manner or built to a Height which constitutes a
hazard to aviation or creates hazards to persons or property by reason of unusual exposure to avia-
tion hazards. In addition to Height limitations established by this Code, limitations established by
the Miami-Dade County Height Zoning Ordinance as stated in Article 37 of the Code of Miami-Dade
County (Miami International Airport) shall apply to Heights of Buildings and Structures.
A letter authorizing clearance from the Miami-Dade Aviation Department or the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) may be required by the Zoning Administrator prior to the issuance of any
Building permit.
Construction of an Educational facility within the delineated Miami International Airport Critical Ap-
proach Area as defined by the Miami-Dade County Code shall only be granted by Exception. Con-
struction of such facility is subject to the approval by the Miami-Dade County Aviation Department
or any other agencies authorized by law to approve the construction.
3.5.5 Height limitations for Properties Abutting and in Proximity to National Historic Landmarks
a. All properties designated a National Historic Landmark (NHL) which include a Designed Land-
scape that is an integral part of the documented significance supporting the NHL designation shall
be protected by height limitations throughout the entire Civic Institution zoned property of which
the NHL is a part, so as to protect the Designed Landscape from the potentially adverse effects
III.9
MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 3. GENERAL TO ZONES
AS ADOPTED - APRIL 2013
of an undertaking that may diminish the integrity of the NHL property’s location, design, setting,
materials, workmanship, association or qualities that qualified it for NHL designation. Examples
of adverse effects which diminish the integrity of the NHL property include those which: cause
physical destruction of or damage to all or part of the NHL property; or change the character of
the NHL property’s use or physical features within the NHL property’s setting that contribute to
its historic significance; or introduce visual, atmospheric or audible elements that diminish the
integrity of the NHL property’s significant historic features; or alter the NHL property in a way that
is not consistent with the federal standards for the treatment of historic properties and applicable
guidelines, as published by the United States Department of the Interior.
b. The height of structures throughout the entire Civic Institution zoned property of which the NHL
is a part shall not exceed that established by a six (6) degree vertical plane which is measured
beginning from the ground floor elevation of the principal historic building at the façade that over-
looks the Designed Landscape, which plane shall extend in a one hundred eighty (180) degree
arc facing the Designed Landscape and measured at grade from the midpoint of the building
façade. The ground floor elevation shall be measured according to the 1929 N.G.V.D. of Mean
Sea Level supplied by the City of Miami. Structures existing on affected properties at the time of
the effective date of this Miami 21 Code shall not be considered nonconforming structures.
c. Should the height limitations for structures located in such Civic Institution zoned property as of
the effective date of this Miami 21 Code be more restrictive than that created by this section, the
most restrictive height shall apply. In the event of a rezoning of all or part of the Civic Institution
property, either by successional zoning or by Special Area Plan, the height limitations specified
in this Section 3.5.5 shall be incorporated in all subsequent rezonings.
d. For purposes of this Section 3.5.5., the following definitions shall apply:
2. National Historic Landmark is a nationally significant historic place designated by the Secretary
of the Interior because it possesses exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting
the heritage of the United States, and defined in Title 36, Section 65.3 of the Code of Federal
Regulations.

remaining credits needed to meet minimum certification requirements. The bond amount to be
posted shall be calculated as follows:
(credits remaining for certification / credits required for certification) x full bond amount = prorated
bond amount
3. Forfeiture of Bond
A bond under this Section 3.13.1 shall be forfeited to the City in the event that the Building
does not meet the for LEED Silver certification or applicable certification. The City will draw
down on the bond funds upon failure of the owner to submit proof of LEED Silver certification
in a form acceptable to the City within one (1) year of the City’s issuance of the Certificate of
Occupancy for the Building. If required certification is not achieved but a majority of the credits
have been verified, the owner shall forfeit a portion of the bond based on any outstanding
credits which shall be calculated as follows:
(credits remaining for certification / credits required for certification) x full bond amount =
bond amount forfeited
If the amount to be forfeited is greater than fifty percent (50%) of the full bond amount, the
bond shall be forfeited in its entirety. Funds that become available to the City from the for-
feiture of the bond shall be placed in the Miami 21 Public Benefits Trust Fund established by
this Code.
i. Affordable Housing Developments that qualify under Section 3.15, may elect to comply with the
sustainability requirements promulgated by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, or its suc-
cessor agency, in lieu of the requirements set forth in Section 3.13.1.b above.
j. The preservation of Natural Features of land such as trees, vegetation, geological, and other
characteristics and the preservation of features of archaeological significance are declared to
be in the public interest. Said preservation may justify the relaxation of Setbacks or required
Off-street Parking by Waiver. The Zoning Administrator shall determine that the trees, vegetation,
geological and other natural characteristic, or archaeological features are in the Buildable Area
of the Site and not in Setback areas required for the development of the site.
The intent of this section is to reduce the heat island effect in the City of Miami and to consequently
reduce energy consumption and bills for buildings within the City.
a. Applicability
In all Transect Zones, except T3, the provisions of this section are applicable to all new construc-
tion and to repair or replacement greater than fifty percent (50%) by area of existing roofs or site
Hardscape. All repairs or replacement of existing roofing or Hardscape shall be reviewed by the
Zoning Department for compliance with this section. The following portions of new or existing
roofs are exempted from the requirements of section 3.13.2:
1. The portion of the roof acting as a substructure for and covered by a rooftop deck, vegetation
associated with an extensive or intensive green roof as defined by the U.S. Environmental

SHARING FACTOR The shared Parking Standards Table provides the method for calculating shared parking for buildings
with more than one Use type. It refers to the parking requirements that appear in Table 4.

The parking required for any two Functions on a Lot is calculated by dividing the number of spaces
RESIDENTIAL RESIDENTIAL required by the lesser of the two uses by the appropriate factor from this Table and adding the result to
the greater use parking requirement.
