Analog #1: City Place West Palm Beach

• Acreage: 77 acres • Development Timeline: 1987 (proposed) – 2000 (project open) • Vision - commercial district with two large parks – The Central Park of

West Palm Beach • Government Involvement

• The City owned the land when the initial developer could not develop the project

• The City maintained ownership of land for the first 20 years with the developer paying $1 million per year for the rights to develop the project

• Ultimately, the new-urbanist development includes 600,000 square feet of retail/service space, over 100 stores and 600 residential units

• Conclusion • City Place represents a case study in that the development plan evolved with

the market and the final product currently in place jump started redevelopment of the local market

Analog #1: City Place - West Palm Beach

Creative Village

Source: Fishkind & Associates, Inc.

• Acreage: 68 acres • Development Timeline: 2009 (proposed) – 2035 (estimated) • Vision – Mixed-Use, Higher Education, Office and Creative Studios

• 1.2 million square feet of office space • 125,00 square feet of retail space • 750,000 square feet higher education space [University of Central Florida (UCF) and Valencia

Colleges] • 225 hotel rooms • 1,500 residential units

• Government Involvement • Former Amway Arena site (Orlando Magic NBA stadium) • Public-Private partnership between the City of Orlando and Development partners • State funding for UCF

• Conclusion • Creative Village is in the process of refining its development plan to maximize value and be true to

the vision of a transit-oriented, higher-education and technology-centric theme – ground breaking to begin end of 2017

Analog #2: Creative Village - Orlando

Market Study • Three real estate uses - Retail-Commercial Uses, retail shopping, restaurant, etc. - Office Space - Hotel Rooms • Evaluated historic performance and forecasted market capture

with the District Master Plan in place • Master Plan can induce additional development • The Master Plan Development Horizon is 2044 (CRA Sunset)

Retail: Market Study

The Master Plan: • Stimulates nearly a 600%

difference in projected retail activity

• Creates a need for 217,800 additional square feet of retail within the District

Office: Market Study

The Master Plan: • Nearly a 1,500%

difference in office space growth

• Need for 261,360 additional square feet of office within the District

Hotel: Market Study • Currently: Approx. 60 hotel rooms • Since 2005, the North Miami area

market has added over 1,000 hotel rooms (mostly along the coast)

• The existing local market has not participated in the growth

• Need for 300 hotel rooms through 2036

• Boutique 80-100 rooms each

Market Study Summary

• 800,000 sq. ft. of existing development in the District

• Under existing development patterns and market capture, the existing District is forecast to only add approx. 26,000 square feet through 2036
