Dear Ms. Demirpence:

As requested, the following is an Appraisal Report of the above-referenced property.

Furthermore, the report describes the subject, its market area environment, and surrounding influences, including current market conditions, and the methods of approach to the valuation problem. It contains data gathered and analyzed in arriving at our conclusion of market value.

We developed our analyses, opinions, and conclusions and prepared this report in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) of the Appraisal Foundation; and the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute.

The purpose of this appraisal is to develop an opinion of the Market Value (Fee Simple Estate) for the highest and best use of the subject property "As Is". The following table conveys the final opinion of value that is developed in this appraisal:

MARKET VALUE CONCLUSION

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS

The value conclusions are subject to the following extraordinary assumptions that may affect the assignment results. An extraordinary assumption is an assignment-specific assumption as of the effective date regarding uncertain information used in the analysis which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser's opinions or conclusions.

• It is assumed that the subject site is of adequate size to develop a 9-story,180-room hotel with adequate parking and on-site retention which is anticipated to have underground storage tanks beneath the parking lot (see the Highest and Best Use Section herein for more detail).

HYPOTHETICAL CONDITION

The value conclusions are based on the following hypothetical conditions that may affect the assignment results. A Hypothetical Condition is a condition, directly related to a specific assignment, which is contrary to what is known by the appraiser to exist on the effective date of the assignment results, but is used for the purpose of the analysis.

• For use in this appraisal, we made the hypothetical assumption that the existing Ergisi Way has been extended to the subject site. According to Doug Smith, Ergisi Way is in the process of being extended to the subject site, but the completion timing is unknown.

PURPOSE OF APPRAISAL

The purpose of this appraisal is to develop an opinion of the "As Is" Market Value (Fee Simple Estate) for the subject in accordance with the site's highest and best use.

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE

The most probable price that 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, knowledgeably, and assuming that 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;
    1. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own best interests;

    1. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
    1. Payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
    1. 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.1

PROPERTY RIGHTS APPRAISED

The subject is currently vacant. Our opinion of the subject's market value represents a Fee Simple interest.

Source: St Johns County Assessment & Taxation

In Florida, commercial real estate is assessed at 100% of market value. In actual practice, assessments tend to range about 70% to 90% of market value to account for selling costs and to reduce the number of appeals.

The assessed value concluded by the St. Johns County Property Appraiser's Office is \$4,861,280 for the subject parcel. Based on the concluded opinion of market value contained within this report, the assessed value (\$40.73/SF) concluded by the St. Johns County Property Appraiser's Office for the subject is considerably higher than our opinion of market value.

Based on the comparable land sales provided in the Sales Comparison Approach section of this report, our opinion is that the County Assessor's Office did not fully consider the physical characteristics and development rights assigned to the subject site.

Improvement On the day of our inspection, there was a billboard located on the southwest corner of the subject site. According to Mr. Doug Smith, this billboard is not encumbered by a lease and will be removed for the site's highest and best use.

Site Conclusion Overall, the subject land appears to be low (topographical elevation) compared to the adjacent properties. However, the site's physical characteristics and size appear to be supportive of the subject's highest and best use.

SAINT AUGUSTINE MULTI-FAMILY SUBMARKET

According to CoStar, vacancy has declined by roughly 300 basis points in the last 12 months as renter demand in Saint Augustine continues to concentrate here, even as 1,300 new apartments were completed in that time. This area currently has approximately 10% of all vacant apartments in the metro area at approximately 1,700 units, a number that is up about 5% in the past year. Renter demand improved significantly during 2023 over the previous year, with approximately 1,300 units absorbed in that time, and the forecast calls for an even stronger rate of demand in 2024 that should pull supply and demand more in balance by the end of the year.

Elevated construction levels in Saint Augustine in the last few years have led to an inventory expansion here of nearly 50% since 2022. The area has only approximately 7% of the wider market's total inventory, yet it has more than 25% of all new apartment units currently under construction and has comprised more than 20% of all renter demand in the broader Jacksonville market in the last year. Also, roughly 25% of all units in the market were completed in the last year, and the 1,600 new units underway are set to expand inventory here by another 19.8%.

Asking rents in Saint Augustine now average \$1,750/month and rank as the highest in the broader Jacksonville market. Actual rent growth, however, has slowed significantly from the record high of 14.4% reached in 21Q4 and is now down markedly to a pace of -6.0% in year-over-year growth, the slowest in the Jacksonville area. The pace of rent growth is expected to remain under pressure for several more quarters as vacancy remains elevated and new units continue to deliver, although there is good potential for it to return to a range between 2% and 3% in the second half of 2025.

According to CoStar, having one of the smaller apartment inventories in the broader Jacksonville market, investment activity in Saint Augustine is infrequent. Before 23Q4, the last quarter when any notable activity took place was the final quarter of 2021; however, the trailing 12-month volume is comprised of only \$126 million following 5 separate transactions that closed in the past year. Many properties in this market have been recently delivered and are still working toward achieving stabilized occupancy, but as they do and the investment climate improves, there will be a greater chance for investment activity in the quarters ahead. While three of the past year's sales have been fairly insignificant, two prominent properties have traded in the last year.

  • The 210-unit, 3-Star Camellia at World Commerce Center in the World Golf Village area was acquired in December by Lakewood, NJ-based private REIT Lightstone Value Plus REIT V, Inc. for \$53.3 million (\$253,800/unit) as part of a 1031 exchange. The seller was Jacksonville-based private developer Corner Lot Development, which wrapped up construction on the property in November 2022. The property was fully occupied at the time of the sale.
  • More notably, Norfolk, VA-based Harbor Group International made a significant acquisition in May 2024 when it acquired the recently built, 350-unit Ascend Durbin Creek. The property was acquired from developer D.R. Horton for \$70.2 million (\$201/SF) and has been renamed Aria Durban Creek. A fast pace of leasing had it occupied at approximately 87% by the time of the sale.

Overall, the subject is located within one of the prime development areas in Jacksonville MSA.

HIGHEST & BEST USE

Definition

The 7th Edition of The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2022), defines highest and best use as:

"The reasonably probable use of property that results in the highest value. The four criteria that the highest and best use must meet are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum productivity."

  • Legal Permissibility: "a property use that is either currently allowed or most probably allowable under zoning codes, building codes, environmental regulations, and other applicable laws and regulations that govern land use."
  • Physical Possibility: "the parcel of land must be able to accommodate the construction of any building that would be a candidate for the ideal improvement."
  • Financial Feasibility: "the capability of a physically possible and legal use of property to produce a positive return to the land after considering risk and all costs to create and maintain the use."
  • Maximally Productive Use: "a specific land use must yield the highest value of all the physically possible, legally permissible, and financially feasible possible uses."

These tests are performed sequentially, as it is irrelevant if a certain use is financially feasible when not physically possible or legally permissible. When identifying the highest and best use of an improved property these tests are performed first on the property under the hypothetical assumption it is vacant. If the highest and best use is to improve the property, then the ideal improvement is determined using these same four criteria. Then, the subject improvements are compared to the ideal improvement. A determination is then made on whether to maintain the existing improvement in its existing use or modify the improvement to conform more to the ideal.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE "AS VACANT"

LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE

The subject is zoned Planned Unit Development | Fountains North under Ordinance Number 2021-58, which is entitled/allowed for 50,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space, 230 hotel rooms, 130 special care housing (assisting living) units, and 180.000 square feet of professional office and/or medical space.

PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE

The physically possible uses for the subject are limited to the legally permissible uses, current zoning, and land use of the site mandates. Besides site size, the physical characteristics of the site do not appear to impose any unusual restrictions on development. Overall, the physical characteristics of the site and the availability of utilities result in functional utility suitable for any of the legally permissible uses.

Based on the comparable developments in the market and documents provided by and conversations with both Mr. David Ergisi and Mr. Doug Smith, Chief Operating Officer, the subject is considered to be physically possible for any of the legally permissible uses. Stormwater retention will likely need to be provided via underground storage tanks, which could be situated underneath the on-site parking lot.

FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE

Financially feasible uses for the subject parcel are governed by legally permissible uses and the physically possible uses for that site. Also, the influence of the surrounding market area considering commercial and residential uses and the economic and demographical growth within the market area and its effect on the subject must be considered. The primary determinant of financial feasibility is if a specific use is likely to produce a higher income level than the combined need to satisfy operating expenses, financial expenses, and capital amortization.

Considering the market condition for retail/restaurant space, hotel rooms, special care housing (assisting living) units, professional office, and medical space, the financially feasible uses for the subject are for either an assisting living & memory care facility or hotel after adjusted for the physical characteristic and access of the subject site.

MAXIMALLY PRODUCTIVE

Maximally productive uses are governed by the subject's legally permissible, physically possible, and financially feasible uses. The final criterion addresses the question of maximum productivity of the subject development, which would require consideration of alternate potential uses.

Based on the comparable hotel sites summarized below and a conversation with Mr. Doug Smith, Chief Operating Officer, the subject site (2.74 acres) is physically possible for a 9-story structure containing 180 hotel rooms (65.7 rooms per acre) with an underground stormwater retention system.

Based on comparisons with the other allowable uses, including assisting living & memory care use at 130 units, it is our opinion that hotel development is the maximally productive use of the property.

Considering the legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, and maximally productive uses, the highest and best use of the subject "as is / vacant" is for a hotel.

MOST PROBABLE BUYER/USER

Considering the size and design characteristics of the property, the likely buyer is a hotel investor/developer.

VALUATION METHODS

Three basic approaches may be applicable and utilized, then reconciled to arrive at an estimate of market value. An approach to value is included or eliminated based on its applicability to the property type being valued and the information available. The reliability of each approach depends on the availability and comparability of market data, as well as the motivation and thinking of purchasers. Applicable approaches and whether they were utilized are summarized below.

The Cost Approach is based upon the principle of substitution, which states a prudent purchaser would not pay more for a property than the amount required to purchase a similar site and construct similar improvements without undue delay, producing property of equal desirability and utility. This approach is particularly applicable when the appraised improvements are relatively new or proposed or when the improvements are so specialized; that there is little or no sales data from comparable properties.

The Sales Comparison Approach involves the direct comparison of sales and listings of similar properties, adjusting for differences between the subject property and the comparable properties. This method can be useful for valuing general-purpose properties or vacant land. For improved properties, it is particularly applicable when there is an active sales market for the property type being appraised – either by owner-users or investors.

In the Income Capitalization Approach, the income-producing capacity of a property is estimated using contract rents on existing leases and estimating market rent from the rental activity at competing properties for the vacant space. Deductions are then made for vacancy and collection loss, and operating expenses. The resulting net operating income is divided by an overall capitalization rate to derive an opinion of value for the subject property. The capitalization rate represents the relationship between net operating income and value. This method is referred to as Direct Capitalization.

The appraisal process concludes with the Final Reconciliation of the values derived from the approaches applied for a single estimate of market value. Different properties require different means of analysis and lend themselves to one approach over the others.

The subject property is vacant land; therefore, the Cost and Income Approaches were not considered applicable. The Sales Comparison Approach was fully utilized for our analysis.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH

INTRODUCTION

This section values the subject site by comparing it with substitute land sales or listings within the local market area or in competitive areas throughout the region. Land value is influenced by several factors; most notably development and use potential. These factors, as well as others, are factored in the following analysis.

UNIT OF COMPARISON

The most relevant unit of comparison for competing land is the \$/allowed unit. All of the comparable sales presented in this section were reported on this basis.

Remarks

The site contains six parcels that total approximately 0.96± acres of commercial land in downtown, Jacksonville, FL. The site was vacant at the time of sale and has been since December 2022. The buyer intends to raze the existing improvements as part of a redevelopment project. The buyer plans to construct a six-story 109-key hotel on the site which will be named "AC Hotel Jacksonville Downtown".

A minor environmental remediation issue occurred prior to the closing. The original sales price (\$2,000,000) was subsequently reduced by \$100,000 as a result of additional risk and a longer time frame required to resolve the issue.

ADJUSTMENTS

Adjustments to comparable sales were considered and made when warranted for expenditures after purchase, property rights transferred, conditions of sale, financing terms, and market conditions.

  • 1. Property Rights - All of the comparable sales were fee simple sales reflecting the property rights appraised herein per the agreed-upon scope of work. No adjustment is warranted.
  • 2. Financing - The sales all reflected typical cash equivalent, lender-financed transactions, and no adjustments were required for financing terms.
  • 3. Sale Conditions - None of the comparables required a condition of sale adjustment, as all were confirmed to be arm's length transactions.
  • 4. Market Conditions (Time) - Real estate values normally change over time. The rate of change fluctuates due to investors' perceptions of prevailing market conditions. This adjustment category reflects value changes, if any, which occurred between the date of the sale and the effective date of the appraisal. The market conditions within the subject's market and submarket have been improving since the earliest sale used in this analysis. Considering the activities in the subject area, we've made a 2% upward adjustment per year.

QUANTITATIVE ADJUSTMENT PROCESS

Quantitative percentage adjustments are also made for location and physical characteristics such as size, location quality, access, and exposure, as well as other applicable elements of comparison. Where possible the adjustments applied are based on paired data or other statistical analysis. It should be stressed that the adjustments are subjective in nature and are meant to illustrate the logic in deriving a value opinion for the subject property by the Land Sales Comparison Approach.

LAND SALES ADJUSTMENT DISCUSSION

The comparable land sales indicate an overall unadjusted value range from \$14,597/Unit to \$23,723/Unit. The adjustment process is described below.

Density (Units/Us. Acre)

The subject has a density of 65.7 units per acre.

  • Sale 1 has 55.0 units per acre. It is superior compared to the subject. A downward adjustment is warranted.
  • Sale 2 has 101.6 units per acre, which is inferior. An upward adjustment is warranted.
  • Sale 3 has 113.5 units per acre, which is inferior. An upward adjustment is warranted.

Our adjustment reflects a 1.5% per 5 units difference in density when compared to the subject.

Location & Access

The subject is located adjacent to St. Vincent Hospital at the northernmost boundary of the Fountains at St. Johns Center.

• Sale 1 is located in the subject's neighborhood of the Fountains, but it has no visibility from Interstate 95. Overall, it is considered inferior with respect to visibility versus the subject site. An upward adjustment is warranted.

  • Sale 2 is located along Paramore Road (interior access road) across the street from Costco Wholesale just south of Collins Road. Overall the site is considered to be inferior to the subject with respect to location (supporting uses and overall property values) when compared to the subject's area (Fountains St. Johns & St. Vincent's Hospital). An upward adjustment is warranted.
  • Sale 3 is located within the southwest quadrant of Dora Street and Oak Street in the Riverside area of Jacksonville. Overall, it is inferior for interstate visibility. An upward adjustment is warranted.

Although our adjustments are subjective, they are supported by a variety of matched-pair analyses performed over the past several years.

Economies of Scale

The subject is assumed to be able to accommodate a 9-story hotel with 180 rooms. All of the comparable land sales have fewer rooms than the subject. Slight downward adjustments are warranted for economies of scale.

Physical Characteristic

Overall, the subject site represents wooded land that appeared to be low (topographical elevation) compared to the adjacent properties. However, the subject property has good shape and access to utility connections. Overall, downward adjustments are made to all of the comparable sales for having superior site characteristics when compared to the subject site.

Retention Pond

The subject will require an on-site underground retention pond. All of the comparable land sales have access to off-site retention ponds, which are superior when compared to the subject. Downward adjustments are warranted.

LAND VALUE CONCLUSION

The comparables indicate a unit value, based on a general bracketing analysis, between \$18,264/Unit and \$19,563/Unit. The Trump administration's tariffs on imported goods from Canada, Mexico, and China have and are expected to continue to drive up the cost of building materials. Furthermore, the reciprocal tariffs are scheduled to kick in on April 2, 2025. Today's market is influenced by tariff uncertainty.

  • The federal fund rate, which impacts borrowing costs, investment decisions, and overall economic activity, is 4.33% compared to 4.83% as of the previous effective date (October 20, 2024), which equates to an 11.2% decrease or 2% per month since our previous appraisal assignment.
  • The current inflation rate is 2.8% compared to 2.6% as of the previous effective date (October 20, 2024), which equates to a 7% increase or 1% increase per month since our previous appraisal assignment.

Although there are several development activities in the subject area, there have been no new comparable land sales since our previous appraisal (October 20, 2024). All of the land acquired for projects under construction was purchased years ago. Developers anticipate a challenge ahead and are motivated to complete the project. Considering all of the data presented, we reconciled to:

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS

The value conclusions are subject to the following extraordinary assumptions that may affect the assignment results. An extraordinary assumption is an assignment-specific assumption as of the effective date regarding uncertain information used in the analysis which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser's opinions or conclusions.

• It is assumed that the subject site is of adequate size to develop a 9-story,180-room hotel with adequate parking and on-site retention (anticipated to be underground storage tanks below the parking lot. (See the Highest and Best Use Section of the report for more detail)

HYPOTHETICAL CONDITION

The value conclusions are based on the following hypothetical conditions that may affect the assignment results. A Hypothetical Condition is a condition, directly related to a specific assignment, which is contrary to what is known by the appraiser to exist on the effective date of the assignment results, but is used for the purpose of the analysis.

• For use in this appraisal, we have made the hypothetical assumption that the existing Ergisi Way has been extended to the subject site. According to Doug Smith, Ergisi Way is in the process of being extended to the subject site, but the completion timing is unknown.

EXPOSURE TIME

Exposure time is the length of time the subject property would have been exposed for sale in the market had it sold on the effective valuation date at the concluded market value. Exposure time is always presumed to precede the effective date of the appraisal. Based on our review of recent sales transactions for similar properties and our analysis of supply and demand in the local residential market, it is our opinion that the probable exposure time for the subject at the concluded market value stated previously is 12± months.

MARKETING TIME

Marketing time estimates the amount of time it might take to sell a property at the concluded market value immediately following the effective date of value. As we foresee no significant changes in market conditions in the near term, it is our opinion that a reasonable marketing period for the subject is likely to be the same as the exposure time. Accordingly, we estimate the subject's marketing period at 12± months.

ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITING CONDITIONS

This appraisal is subject to the following limiting conditions:

  • The effective date is March 18, 2025. The appraisers assume no responsibility for economic or physical factors occurring at some later date, which may affect the opinions stated herein.
  • A legal description was provided by a representative of the owner. No responsibility for legal matters is assumed, although such matters may be discussed in the report. No opinion is rendered as to the title, which is assumed marketable and free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, easements, encroachments, and restrictions, except herein described. The property was appraised, assuming it is under responsible ownership and competent management and available for its highest and best use.
  • Certain information in this report was furnished from sources believed reliable; however, such information is not guaranteed as to its accuracy, although it has been checked as far as possible and is believed to be correct.
  • No encroachments are assumed to exist unless specifically mentioned in the report.
  • No engineering test boring was made to determine soil-bearing qualities. The soil of the area under appraisement appears firm and solid unless otherwise stated. Subsidence in the area is unknown or uncommon, but the appraisers do not warrant against this condition or occurrence.
