August 12, 2014 Jair Lynch Authorized Representative LYNCH DEVELOPMENT ADVISORS, LLC 1508 U Street, NW Washington, District of Columbia 20009 RE: Appraisal of Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library 901 G Street, NW Washington, District of Columbia 20001 CBRE, Inc. File No. 14-081DC-0665
Dear Mr. Lynch:
At your request and authorization, CBRE, Inc. has prepared an appraisal of the market value of the referenced property. Our analysis is presented in the following Appraisal Report.
The subject is a 379,886 gross square foot, four-story library located at 901 G Street, NW in the East End office submarket of the District of Columbia. The improvements were constructed in 1972 and are situated on a 75,762 square-foot site. The improvements are currently the home of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. The building and major interior public spaces were designated a Historic Landmark in 2007 and placed on the historic register. The building may be renovated subject to review by the DC Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB), but cannot be demolished.
We have been instructed by the client to appraise the fee simple market value of the subject property. As noted in the analysis to follow, given the subject’s location and physical attributes, the subject’s most likely use is an office building with ground level retail space. Additionally, the subject’s existing improvements do not maximize the site’s allowable density within its zoning classification and the building is reportedly designed to accommodate additional floors. However, the subject has only one level of below-grade parking and requires development of a parking lift system or parking reduction/elimination from the DC Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) to permit development of the excess density.
Based on the analysis contained in the following report, the market value of the subject is concluded as follows:

STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS (SWOT)
Strengths/ Opportunities
• The subject is located in an office submarket achieving among the highest rents in the Washington DC office market;
• The subject has a strong location situated is one block west of the Verizon Center and across 9th Street, NW from an entrance to the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metrorail station (Orange, Blue and Red Lines) at 9th and G Street, NW;
• The subject’s existing improvements do not maximize the site’s allowable density and the building can accommodate two additional floors without any modification of foundations as long as the library’s fourth floor continues to be used for offices;
• The east and west portions of the first floor library space have glass storefront windows, which are well suited for ground level retail or restaurant space;
• The typical floor plate for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor office space is approximately 53,000 square-feet, which is above many competitive office buildings in the District of Columbia. Additionally, the building’s design allows for demolition of most of the interior walls, allowing for vast open areas for office use. The design in considered a benefit to the subject as repositioned to an office building;
Weaknesses/ Threats
• Based on our property inspection, discussions with a property representative, a Project Strategy Report prepared by Freelon (dated December 29, 2010) and a Pre-Design Building Evaluation prepared by GDG (dated December 20, 2013), there are several items in need of repair including the building façade, water-related defects, and HVAC system replacement. The costs to cure the deferred maintenance are significant;
• The building and major interior public spaces were designated a Historic Landmark in 2007 and placed on the historic register. As such, any improvements or renovations to the building will be subject to review by the DC Historic Preservation Review Board (DHPRB) and must be sensitive to the historic character and significance of the original structure. The building cannot be demolished;
• According to a Hazardous Materials Survey prepared by GDG dated December 20, 2013, asbestos and lead paint were identified in several areas of the building.

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS
An extraordinary assumption is defined as “an assumption directly related to a specific
assignment, as of the effective date of the assignment results, which if found to be false, could
alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.” 1
• It is an extraordinary assumption of the appraisal report that a lift system a parking lift system or parking reduction/elimination from the DC Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) could be developed or acquired to permit development of the excess density.
• The building and major interior public spaces were designated a Historic Landmark in 2007 and placed on the historic register. The building may be renovated subject to review by the DC Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB), but cannot be demolished. It is an extraordinary assumption of the appraisal report that the approval to renovate the existing improvements can be approved. The use of the extraordinary assumptions may have affected the assignment results.
HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS
A hypothetical condition is defined as “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 purposes of analysis.” 2

Introduction
OWNERSHIP AND PROPERTY HISTORY
Title to the property is currently vested in the name of the District of Columbia. The building is
reportedly operated by the District of Columbia Public Library. Tax records did not show
information regarding any transfers of the subject property. To the best of our knowledge, there
has been no ownership transfer of the property during the previous three years and the property
is neither currently actively marketing for sale nor under contract for purchase.
INTENDED USE OF REPORT
This appraisal is to be used for purposes of Lynch Development Advisors, LLC providing real
estate development consulting services to the District of Columbia Public Library as an instrument
of the District of Columbia Government (“DCPL”), including, providing a copy of the work
product to DCPL and other instrumentalities and bodies of the District of Columbia as required by
DCPL, and no other use is permitted.
INTENDED USER OF REPORT
This appraisal is to be used by Lynch Development Advisors, LLC and District of Columbia Public
Library (“DCPL”) as an instrument of the District of Columbia Government for its use, including
providing copies of such Appraisals to other instrumentalities and bodies of the District of
Columbia Government as required by DCPL. There are no other intended users.
Intended Users - the intended user is the person (or entity) who the appraiser intends will use the results of the appraisal. The client may provide the appraiser with information about other potential users of the appraisal, but the appraiser ultimately determines who the appropriate users are given the appraisal problem to be solved. Identifying the intended users is necessary so that the appraiser can report the opinions and conclusions developed in the appraisal in a manner that is clear and understandable to the intended users. Parties who receive or might receive a copy of the appraisal are not necessarily intended users. The appraiser’s responsibility is to the intended users identified in the report, not to all readers of the appraisal report. 3
PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the market value of the subject property.
DEFINITION OF VALUE
The current economic definition of market value agreed upon by agencies that regulate federal
financial institutions in the U.S. (and used herein) is as follows:
3 Appraisal Institute, The Appraisal of Real Estate, 14th ed. (Chicago: Appraisal Institute, 2013), 50.
© 2014 CBRE, Inc.
Introduction
2
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. 4
INTEREST APPRAISED
The value estimated represents the fee simple estate and defined as follows:
Fee Simple Estate - Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power and escheat. 5
Leased Fee Interest - A freehold (ownership interest) where the possessory interest has been granted to another party by creation of a contractual landlord-tenant relationship (i.e., a lease). 6
Leasehold Interest - The tenant’s possessory interest created by a lease. 7

Area Analysis
REGIONAL INFLUENCES
This section of the analysis is designed to isolate and examine the discernible economic trends in
the metropolitan Washington area. The discussion below is broken down between the property's
regional and neighborhood influences followed by a market analysis. Within the metropolitan
Washington area, the subject property is situated in the District of Columbia.
The Washington MSA currently includes:
• The District of Columbia, • The Suburban Maryland counties of Calvert, Charles, Frederick, Montgomery and Prince
George's; • The Northern Virginia counties and jurisdictions of Alexandria, Arlington, Clarke, Fairfax,
Fairfax City, Falls Church, Fauquier, Fredericksburg City, Loudoun, Manassas City, Manassas Park City, Prince William, Spotsylvania, Stafford, and Warren, and
• The West Virginia county of Jefferson.
Population
The U.S. economy was in a recession from December 2007 until June 2009 according to the
National Bureau of Economic Research. During the recession, over 8.4 million jobs were lost,
several major financial institutions collapsed, companies across multiple industries required
federal bail-out money, the debt markets seized, and real estate values fell dramatically. Despite

progress in the economy, the unemployment rate remains approximately 170 basis points above
the Year End 2007 level of 5.0%.
Due to the presence of the Federal Government, the Washington, DC area generally outperforms
the national economy. As of February 2014, the national unemployment rate was 6.7%, while the
DC Metro unemployment rate was 5.1%. While job growth has been positive, the region is poised
for slower growth than prior cycles have indicated during expansion phases due continued
federal austerity measures.
Housing Prices
Washington, DC metro area average sold housing prices increased 6.28% from First Quarter
2013 to First Quarter 2014 according to information from a local market data provider. Sales
volume was relatively flat following several quarters of increases, while the average days-on-
market continued its downward trend and declined by 10% from 59 days to 53 days over the
same time period.
Record-low mortgage interest rates increased approximately 50 basis points in 2013 following
June comments by the Federal Reserve regarding the central bank's plans to gradually scale back
its stimulus measures in light of increased confidence in economic growth. However, rates are
still near historic lows and buyers may outnumber sellers to take advantage of historically low
rates. Overall, the metro area is expected to see price growth in the housing market in 2014,
albeit at a slower pace than 2013.
Employment
The dominant employment sectors in the Washington MSA are government and services, which
represent 78% of the region’s employment. The region has a limited manufacturing base of only
2%. Unlike other metropolitan areas, the government traditionally has been a large employer
with 23% of jobs provided by the Federal, state or local governments. Furthermore, many
thousands of private sector jobs are either affiliated with, or dependent upon, the government.
This includes government contractors to various federal agencies, law firms and lobbyists. The
following chart shows major employers in the Washington MSA.

Washington Area Business Cycle Indicators
The George Mason University Center for Regional Analysis (GW-CRA) publishes two monthly
indices tracking the current and near-term performance of the Greater Washington area
economy. The Coincident Index is a monthly indicator of the economy’s current performance
while the Leading Index is an indicator of the region’s economic performance six months hence.
The following charts summarize the Washington Area Coincident and Leading Index, as reported
by the GW-CRA as of February 2014.

While the Coincident Index has declined year-over-year, the Leading Index has increased,
indicating some near-term optimism for the region's future economic performance.
CONCLUSION
In 2012 and 2013, the Washington, DC metro area’s economy showed signs of slow expansion
following recovery from the most recent recession and federal budget cuts. While the effects of
across-the-board Federal budget cuts mandated by the sequestration process were somewhat
muted and mass layoffs have so far been avoided, job growth was sluggish in 2013. Recent job-
growth has stemmed from growth in the private sector, rather than the Federal Government.
Regardless, employment growth has been weaker than previous expansion cycles and is expected
to remain limited in early 2014 with more robust growth later in the year. Locally, indices
tracking the current performance of the Washington DC metro area’s economy have indicated
some near-term optimism for the region's future economic performance.

While the Washington, DC metro area has been affected by the recent economic recession, its
unemployment rate is among the lowest among the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. The
area generally outperforms the national economy due to Federal procurement driving the local
economy; however, continued Federal budget cuts represent risk to the rate of recovery. Over
the long term, the area is expected to reduce its reliance on the federal government and job
creation is expected to continue to positively affect real estate values, although at a slower pace
than the robust markets of the late 1990s and mid-2000s.

Neighborhood Analysis
LOCATION
The subject is located within the East End office submarket in the District of Columbia. The
subject is bounded by 9th Street, NW, G Street, NW and G Place, NW.
The subject is situated is one block west of the Verizon Center and across 9th Street, NW from an
entrance to the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metrorail station (Orange, Blue and Red Lines) at 9th
and G Street, NW.
BOUNDARIES
The neighborhood boundaries are detailed as follows:
North: Massachusetts Avenue, NW South: Pennsylvania Avenue, NW East: 5th Street, NW West: 15th Street, NW
LAND USE
The East End is generally recognized as the area east of 15th Street and North of Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW, west of 5th Street, NW and south of Massachusetts Avenue, NW. This area has
experienced tremendous growth as a result of a construction boom, which began in the late

Neighborhood Analysis
12
1980s. Neighborhood growth is primarily attributed to land assemblages that could
accommodate large office buildings, the lack of large space available in the CBD and the
development of the Metro Rail subway system; although the area surrounding the subject
property is primarily residential use with office buildings located further west and south near the
East End’s core.
The East End has become the focal point of new development in recent years. Catalysts for
revitalization were the construction of the Verizon Center (formerly known as the MCI Center),
followed by the development of the new Washington Convention Center. The “new” Washington
Convention Center, now known as the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, was completed
in March 2003 and is located just north of Mount Vernon Square between 7th and 9th Streets,
NW. The 2.3 million square foot convention center contains approximately 703,000 square feet
of exhibit space and 130,000 square feet of meeting space. Additionally, the Convention Center
provides 44,000 square feet of retail space.
The major new development in the subject’s neighborhood is CityCenterDC, a three-phased
mixed-use development on the site of the former DC convention center. The first phase was
recently completed and includes 185,000 square-feet of retail, 520,000 square-feet of office,
458 rental apartment units, 216 residential condominiums, and a plaza and park area. The
second and third phases will include hotel, retail and office uses.
The District and Marriott International completed the 1,175-room Marriott Washington Marquis
convention center headquarters hotel at 9th Street and Massachusetts Avenue, NW, just west of
the Washington Convention Center in May 2014. The $537 million hotel was developed by
Quadrangle Development and Capstone Development on land owned by the District and
Convention Center Authority. The new hotel includees 100,000 square feet of additional
meeting/ballroom space, 25,000 square feet of retail and 385 parking spaces. Construction
commenced in November 2010 and was completed in May 2014.
The presence of the Verizon Center has spurred additional restaurant and entertainment
development in the immediate area. In addition, the completion of the new convention center will
likely generate further residential development of existing infill locations in and around the area
north of Mount Vernon Square. The East End area has already experienced significant recent
residential development, with luxury apartments developed by Post Properties, JBG, and Avalon
Bay. Residential condominium projects have also been built by CarrAmerica, PN Hoffman, and
JPI.
The Newseum, at 555 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, was completed in 2008. The project consists
of a six-level, 250,000 square foot interactive museum, office space, a 9,000 square foot
conference center, retail space and approximately 135 apartments.

A mixed-use project, Gallery Place, located at 616 H Street NW, delivered in late 2004. Gallery
Place consists of approximately 220,000 square feet of office space, a 260,000 square foot retail
component, and 192 luxury residential condominiums.
While the predominant land use in the East End is comprised of class A and B office and hotel
properties, the Mount Vernon area, located north of the subject, is primarily storefront retail,
older low-density residential development and newer multi-family projects. Retail development is
concentrated on the ground level of multi-family and office buildings with some storefront retail
properties located along both primary and secondary roadways. New residential developments
in the Mount Vernon area include the CityVista, 440 K Street, 450 K Street, Yale Steam Laundry,
and Meridian at Mount Vernon projects.
Another major proposed project in the neighborhood is Louis Dreyfus Property Group’s Project I-
395 Air Rights Development, a 2.0 million square-foot multi-phase master-planned development
bound by Massachusetts Avenue to the north, E Street to the south, Third Street to the west and
Second Street to the east.
The nearest major grocery store to the subject is the Safeway grocery store at CityVista, located
approximately one-half mile northeast of the subject. A Whole Foods, located at 14th and P
Streets, NW is less than one mile northwest of the subject. A Harris Teeter grocery store is located
in NoMa, approximately one mile northeast of the subject. Many residents choose grocery
delivery through Peapod, an online grocery delivery service.
Growth Patterns
Major developments within recent years, namely the Verizon Center and the convention center,
have driven interest in speculative investment in the East End area. This has primarily transpired
in both the office and retail markets along with substantial development of multi-family
residential. The demand for office space in the District, along with low vacancies in new, high-
quality buildings, resulted in a level of proposed and under-construction office buildings that has
not been seen since the late 1980s. This new construction has put some upward pressure on
vacancy rates.
Currently within the East End, there are four concentrated areas of development activity: Franklin
Square, lower Pennsylvania Avenue, Metro Center, and the Ninth Street corridor. The area
around Franklin Square has been redeveloped with Class A and trophy quality office buildings.
The lower Pennsylvania Avenue section also includes trophy quality office buildings as well as
residential and retail development moving northward along 7th Street towards the Verizon and
Convention Center. As the availability of suitable development sites has diminished, office
development has expanded along the 9th Street corridor.
The Association of American Medical Colleges recently purchased a 31,629 square-foot (0.73-
acre) site from Douglas Development at the corner of New York Avenue and K Streets, NW
across from Mount Vernon Square. The organization will reportedly develop the site for a future

285,000 square-foot headquarters. The site was occupied by several storefront retail buildings;
however, the structures were demolished and the office building is currently under construction.
Currently, the subject’s neighborhood is in the revitalization stage of its life cycle. Several office
buildings are functionally obsolete and have been acquired for renovation or readapted to hotel
use. Significant residential, retail and entertainment development has also occurred in recent
years and additional new projects are proposed or under construction in the area.
ACCESS
The subject is situated is one block west of the Verizon Center and across 9th Street, NW from an
entrance to the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metrorail station (Orange, Blue and Red Lines) at 9th
and G Street, NW.
K Street traveling east and west, Eye Street and L Streets traveling west and H Street traveling east
provide primary access. Eye Street and H Street were formerly two-way roads, but were changed
after the closing of Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House in 1995. Fourteenth and
Sixteenth Streets are the primary two-way traffic arteries extending North and South. K Street
provides access to various bridges and parkways that lead to Northern Virginia and suburban
neighborhoods in Maryland.
Access is considered good for downtown. However, with the closing of Pennsylvania Avenue near
the White House for security reasons in May of 1995, most local streets have become more
congested, particularly during rush hour.

ADJACENT PROPERTIES
The adjacent land uses are summarized as follows:
North: G Place, NW/Office development South: G Street, NW/Office development East: 9th Street, NW/Office development West: Office development
The northern adjacent land uses include The Victor Building, a 346,593 square-foot, nine-story
office building constructed in 2000.
The southern adjacent land uses include several office buildings including 900 G Street, NW, an
112,491 square-foot, nine-story office building with ground level retail space currently under
construction. The building was the site of a former YMCA building. The developer broke ground
in late 2012 and the building is scheduled for delivery in First Quarter 2015.
The eastern adjacent land uses include Edison Place, a 383,810 square-foot, ten-story office
building constructed in 2000. The building’s office space is occupied by PEPCO.
The western adjacent land use is 10th and G, a 169,271 square-foot, ten-story office building
constructed in 2011. The developer, Skanska, purchased the air rights to the office density from
First Congregational United Church of Christ in October 2009. The church now occupies a
portion of the ground level and second level space in the office building. The building was
completed in 2011 and sold in May 2012 to Jamestown for $140 million.
The surrounding land uses are predominantly office uses with ground level retail space. There
are few multi-family uses in the subject’s location.
CONCLUSION
The site is afforded good access and visibility from roadway frontage. The size of the site is
typical to somewhat larger for the area and use, and there are no known detrimental uses in the
immediate vicinity. Overall, there are no known factors which are considered to prevent the site
from development to its highest and best use, as if vacant, or adverse to the existing use of the
site.

Land-to-Building Ratio
The property is currently operated as a library; however, considering the subject’s location and
physical characteristics, a library is not considered the highest and best use. The most functional
use for the subject would be for office use with ground level retail space. In the analysis to follow
later in the report, we have analyzed the subject as an office building.
YEAR BUILT
The subject was built in 1972.
CONSTRUCTION CLASS
Building construction class is as follows:
A - Fireproofed structural steel frames with reinforced concrete or masonry floors and roofs
© 2014 CBRE, Inc.
Improvements Analysis
28
The construction components are assumed to be in working condition and adequate for the
building.
The overall quality of the facility is considered to be average for the neighborhood and age.
However, CBRE, Inc. is not qualified to determine structural integrity and it is recommended that
the client/reader retain the services of a qualified, independent engineer or contractor to
determine the structural integrity of the improvements prior to making a business decision.
FOUNDATION/FLOOR STRUCTURE
The foundation is a six-foot thick conventionally reinforced concrete mat and is assumed to be of
adequate load-bearing capacity to support the improvements. The floor structure is summarized
as follows:
Ground Floor: Concrete slab on compacted fill
Other Floors: Metal deck with light-weight concrete cover
EXTERIOR WALLS
The exterior curtain wall system consists of a combination of glass storefront window system on
the ground floor level and a steel-and-glass curtainwall system over the upper floors. Levels 2
through 4 consist of painted steel panels and painted steel cover plates. The first floor of the
building is set back from the upper levels by one column line on the east and west elevations and
two column lines on the south elevation. Most of the first floor exterior is a glass curtainwall
system.
ROOF COVER
The building has a flat roof consisting of a gravel surfaced built-up roof (BUR) membrane. The
roof was last replaced in 1991.
INTERIOR FINISHES - LIBRARY AREAS
The typical interior library finish of the property is summarized as follows:
Floor Coverings: Commercial grade short loop carpeting over concrete and
polished tile.
Walls: Textured and painted sheetrock.
Ceilings: Combination textured and painted sheetrock and
suspended acoustical tile.
© 2014 CBRE, Inc.
Improvements Analysis
29
Lighting: Standard commercial fluorescent fixtures.
Summary: The interior library areas are functional for office use. The
spaces will likely require some significant tenant retrofit
prior to occupancy for office users.
INTERIOR FINISHES – COMMON AREAS
The interior common area finish of the property is summarized as follows:
Floor Coverings: Polished granite/terrazzo in the ground floor lobby and
commercial grade short loop carpeting over concrete in the
upper level corridors.
Walls: Textured and painted sheetrock.
Ceilings: Combination textured and painted sheetrock and
suspended acoustical tile.
Lighting: Standard commercial fluorescent and recessed
incandescent fixtures.
Summary: The interior common areas are in average to fair condition.
The subject’s common areas will likely require some
significant tenant retrofit prior to occupancy for office users.
ELEVATOR/STAIR SYSTEM
The building has 11 traction elevators. Two of the elevators are freight elevators, while the
remaining nine elevators are for passengers. The building has four interior stairwells providing
access to the upper levels and garage area.
HVAC
The building is cooled by one of two 650-ton refrigeration chillers. The chillers are redundant,
and the cooling tower for the chillers is located on the roof. There is a split system with reheat
and humidification for the backup HVAC system. Also, window A/C units are located on the
walls as a backup HVAC system. Self contained A/C units can also be found in the transformer
rooms. Condenser water is supplied to one blow-through cooling tower located on the main roof
level.
The original heating/cooling systems were designed as a 2-pipe system. This is still the current
system, which means there is no simultaneous heating and cooling.
© 2014 CBRE, Inc.
Improvements Analysis
30
The HVAC system is assumed to be in good working order and adequate for the building.
ELECTRICAL
The electrical system is assumed to be in good working order and adequate for the building.
PLUMBING
The plumbing system is assumed to be in good working order and adequate for the building.
PUBLIC RESTROOMS
There are public restrooms on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors. They are regarded adequate for the
property and are assumed built to local code.
LIFE SAFETY AND FIRE PROTECTION
The sprinkler system is limited to the garage area, boiler room, trash room, and lobby. It is
assumed the improvements have adequate fire alarm systems, fire exits, fire extinguishers, fire
escapes and/or other fire protection measures to meet local fire marshal requirements. CBRE,
Inc. is not qualified to determine adequate levels of safety & fire protection, whereby it is
recommended that the client/reader review available permits, etc. prior to making a business
decision.
PARKING AND DRIVES
The building has one level of below-grade parking. There are currently approximately 100
spaces; however, a property representative noted that the parking area could be reconfigured to
be more efficient and allow for 160 parking spaces. The parking garage was in average
condition.
The zoning regulation requires (in excess of 2,000 square-feet) one parking space per 1,000
square-feet of gross floor area for community public libraries and one space per 1,800 square-
feet for general office uses. The number of parking spaces is legally non-conforming for the
existing use as a library, but is near the regulations for general office use.
Additionally, the subject’s existing improvements do not maximize the site’s allowable density
within its zoning classification and the building is reportedly designed to accommodate additional
floors. However, the subject has only one level of below-grade parking and requires
development of a parking lift system or parking reduction/elimination from the DC Board of
Zoning Adjustment (BZA) to permit development of the excess density. The parking lift system can
accommodate 475 cars at a cost of $7,250,000 according to an estimate provided in August
2012.

FUNCTIONAL UTILITY
The overall layout of the property is considered functional in utility. The typical floor plate for the
2nd, 3rd and 4th floor office space is approximately 53,000 square-feet, which is above many
competitive office buildings in the District of Columbia. Additionally, the building’s design allows
for demolition of most of the interior walls, allowing for vast open areas for office use. The
design in considered a benefit to the subject as repositioned to an office building.
The east and west portions of the first floor library space have glass storefront windows, which are
well suited for ground level retail or restaurant space.
Overall, the building’s existing design is considered most functional for office and ground level
retail-related use.
ADA COMPLIANCE
The client/reader’s attention is directed to the specific limiting conditions regarding ADA
compliance.
FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT
Any personal property items contained in the property are not considered to contribute
significantly to the overall value of the real estate.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
According to a Hazardous Materials Survey prepared by GDG dated December 20, 2013,
asbestos and lead paint were identified in several areas of the building.
CBRE, Inc. is not qualified to detect the existence of any potentially hazardous materials such as
lead paint, asbestos, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, or other potentially hazardous
construction materials on or in the improvements. The existence of such substances may affect
the value of the property. For the purpose of this assignment, we have specifically assumed there
are no hazardous materials that would cause a loss in value to the subject.
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
Based on our property inspection, discussions with a property representative, a Project Strategy
Report prepared by Freelon (dated December 29, 2010) and a Pre-Design Building Evaluation
prepared by GDG (dated December 20, 2013), there are several items in need of repair
including the building façade, water-related defects, and HVAC system replacement. The
executive summary for the recent Pre-Design Building Evaluation has been included in the
addenda.

Developer incentive represents the amount a developer expects to receive for the developer’s
contribution to a project and risk. In the case of the subject property, there is significant risk in
curing the deferred maintenance since the significant costs spent must provide adequate return to
compensate for the lease-up risk. Without the costs spent on the deferred maintenance, the
stabilized occupancy cannot be realized.
The total deferred maintenance estimate (including profit to reflect the developer’s incentive to
cure the deferred maintenance) will be deducted from each approach in order to conclude the
“as is” value for the subject.
As a cross-check to the repair costs we have also researched buildings which have been recently
gut-renovated in the District of Columbia. The following chart shows the comparable renovation
costs.

Compiled by CBRE
Considering the significant investment to cure the deferred maintenance we have used an
effective age lower than the actual age for the subject.
The remaining economic life is based upon our on-site observations and a comparative analysis
of typical life expectancies as published by Marshall and Swift, LLC, in the Marshall Valuation
Service cost guide. While CBRE, Inc. did not observe anything to suggest a different economic
life, a capital improvement program could extend the life expectancy.
CONCLUSION
The improvements are in average overall condition, but require significant costs to renovate the
building for office use and to cure the deferred maintenance. Overall, there are no known factors
that adversely impact the marketability of the improvements.

Downtown Development Overlay
The Downtown Development Overlay District (DD) is mapped in combination with other zoning
districts and was created to help accomplish land use development policies relating to downtown
sectors. The general purposes include:
© 2014 CBRE, Inc.
Zoning
35
• To create a balanced mixture of uses by means of incentives and requirements for critically important land uses identified in the Comprehensive Plan, including retail, hotel, residential, entertainment, arts, and cultural uses;
• To guide and regulate office development, which is generally favored by market forces over the other desired uses, so as to further the land use objectives for retail, hotel, residential, entertainment, arts, and cultural uses;
• To protect historic buildings and places while permitting sensitive and compatible new development subject to the historic preservation review process of the Historic Landmark and Historic District Protection Act of 1978;
• To substantially achieve the specific land use and development policies for the following Downtown subareas: Retail Core, Gallery Place, Convention Center, Chinatown, Pennsylvania Avenue West, Pennsylvania Quarter, Mount Vernon Square, and Judiciary Square;
• To guide the design of buildings to be generally consistent with the urban design, street orientation and design, and historic preservation policies of the Downtown Plan Element of the Comprehensive Plan;
• To foster growth opportunities for and retention of small and minority businesses; • To provide adequate and visually acceptable short-term parking and consolidated
loading facilities having access primarily from streets other than F, G, and 7th Streets.
Downtown Shopping District Overlay
The principal policies and objectives for the Downtown Shopping (SHOP) District, or Retail Core,
derived from the Comprehensive Plan, are to:
• Create the most concentrated area of retail, service, arts, and arts-related uses in Downtown, in excess of one floor of these uses, with the greatest retail concentration oriented to F and G Streets, N.W.; and
• Strengthen the character and identity of the Downtown Shopping District by means of physical design standards that ensure the following:
• New buildings constructed to the property line and primarily oriented to the street rather than to internal spaces;
• Continuous retail, service, and entertainment uses on the ground level of buildings, with ample display windows and frequent store entrances to the outdoor pedestrian circulation system; and
• A pedestrian environment with ample, sidewalks interrupted by a minimum of vehicular driveways, especially along F and G Streets.
Historic Preservation
The building and major interior public spaces were designated a Historic Landmark in 2007 and
placed on the historic register. As such, any improvements or renovations to the building will be
subject to review by the DC Historic Preservation Review Board (DHPRB) and must be sensitive to
the historic character and significance of the original structure.
The subject cannot be demolished and any changes proposed to the building’s exterior, including
landscape, as well as changes to the public spaces of the first floor interior, including great hall,
entry vestibule and reading rooms at either end of the great hall, are required to undergo review
by District agencies. Additionally, as a District of Columbia construction project, changes must be
reviewed by the US Commission on Fine Arts.

Allowable Density and Additional Development Density
The subject can accommodate development to 8.5 FAR since neither G Street, NW nor 9th Street,
NW are more than 110 feet in width. According to a Preliminary Zoning Analysis in a
Development Study prepared by Studios Architecture (dated March 2013), the subject’s current
above-grade built area is approximately 239,000 square-feet, which is relatively consistent with
the above-grade area noted earlier in the report’s Improvements Analysis. Based on the zoning
classification, the maximum allowable density is 8.5 FAR, or 643,977 square-feet. As such, the
total additional density available to the subject property is 404,977 square-feet.
However, according to the Pre-Design Building Evaluation prepared by GDG (dated December
20, 2013), “the combined geotechnical and structural evaluation conclude that two additional
floors of apartments and/or offices may possibly be added without any modification of
foundations as long as the library’s fourth floor continues to be used for offices and that the final
loading does not exceed the initial design load.”
Additionally, as noted in the Improvements Analysis, the subject has only approximately 100
parking spaces, although, a property representative noted that the parking area could be
reconfigured to be more efficient and allow for 160 parking spaces. The zoning regulation
requires (in excess of 2,000 square-feet) one parking space per 1,000 square-feet of gross floor
area for community public libraries and one space per 1,800 square-feet for general office uses.
The number of parking spaces is legally non-conforming for the existing use as a library, but is
near the regulations for general office use.
While two additional levels of development is possible, the subject has only one level of below-
grade parking and requires development of a parking lift system or parking
reduction/elimination from the DC Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) to permit development of
the excess density. The parking lift system can accommodate 475 cars at a cost of $7,250,000
according to an estimate provided in August 2012.
Based on the information above, the subject can reasonably accommodate two additional floors
of development, or approximately 131,042 SF (65,521 SF x 2) based on the gross building area
of the upper floors noted in the Improvements Analysis. The library was reportedly seeking, for
evaluation purposes, designs for an 115,000 square-foot addition, which is relatively consistent
with the analysis above. In the analysis, we have used an excess density area of 115,000
square-feet. We have deducted the cost of the parking lift system from the value of the excess
density to reflect an As-Is value.
ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION
The improvements represent a legally-nonconforming use due to parking and, if damaged, may
be restored without special permit application. Additional information may be obtained from the
appropriate governmental authority. For purposes of this appraisal, CBRE has assumed the
information obtained is correct.

APARTMENT MARKET TRENDS
An overview of local market conditions is a necessary aspect of the appraisal process. The market
analysis forms a basis for assessing market area boundaries, supply and demand factors, and
indications of financial feasibility. In this section, CBRE discusses the status of local market
conditions. The following regional apartment market analysis considers the regional market and
various delineated submarkets. Data utilized in this analysis was obtained from the following
sources:
• Delta Associates Inc.’s Mid-Atlantic Region Class A & B Rental Apartment Market Reports: Second Quarter 2014;
• PricewaterhouseCoopers Second Quarter 2014 Investor Survey (f/k/a Korpacz Investor Survey); • Real Capital Analytics US Capital Trends Apartment Month in Review (May 2014); • REIS Apartment First Glance Second Quarter 2014 Report; • CBRE-EA Second Quarter 2014 Apartment Flash Report; • Interviews with property managers and knowledgeable market participants; and • Data contained in our files specific to apartment projects in the Metropolitan Washington, DC
area.
INVESTMENT TRENDS
The following trends are evident in the National and the Washington DC economy:
• The Washington DC MSA continues to face challenges from Federal budget cuts. The
Washington DC MSA added approximately 6,300 new payroll jobs during the 12 months
ending April 2014, compared to a long term 20-year annual average of 42,600 jobs.
The top four sectors leading job growth are leisure/hospitality, education/health services,
state/local government and retail trade with 27,100 new jobs added in these four sectors
alone. Notably, the federal government sector lost 11,000 jobs over the same time
period, as agencies tighten spending due to budget cuts. The majority of these job cuts
occurred in the District of Columbia. It should be noted that the federal government is not
laying off workers; rather hiring freezes have prevented hiring for vacated positions due to
retirement or workers leaving for other positions outside the federal government.
• According to U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics data, the unemployment rate in the
Washington DC area, which reached a height of 7.0% in January 2010, has declined to
4.5% as of April 2014. Preliminary May 2014 shows an increase to 5.0%. While this rate
is elevated with regard to historical rates for the metro area, it remains among the lowest
in the nation among major markets.
• Despite 2013’s cuts mandated by the federal sequestration process, a government
shutdown and uncertainty over the debt ceiling, the metro area experienced, albeit
modest, growth. Job growth is expected to remain tempered for an expansion cycle with

41
growth gaining momentum later in 2014. Delta Associates predicts health job growth in
2015 and 2016, though at a slower rate than previous expansion cycles. The federal
government is expected to continue strategic cuts; however, the private sector is expected
to pick up the slack to help stimulate the local economy.
• According to the US Commerce Department’s the Bureau of Economic Analysis, GDP
decreased 2.9% (annualized rate) during First Quarter 2014, after rising 2.6% during
Fourth Quarter 2013, 4.1% in Third Quarter 2013, and 2.5% in Second Quarter 2013.
The deceleration in real GDP growth was a result of a decrease in exports, non-residential
fixed investments, private inventory investment, residential fixed investment and state and
local government spending. The slower economy and especially the drop in exports can
be blamed on the harsh winter during the First Quarter of 2014. Despite the most recent
decline, Delta Associates predicts GDP growth at approximately 2.5% in 2014.
• According to Delta Reports, overall inflation in the Washington/Baltimore region was
1.6% during the 12 months ending March 2014, compared to the national inflation rate
of 1.5%. Delta Associates projects inflation at around 1.5% to 2.5%, as long as
appropriate monetary measures are in place.
• According to Delta Reports, housing prices increased 8.5% in the Washington area during
the 12 months ending March 2014. This compares to a 12.4% increase in the 20 MSA
Composite Index over the same time period.
• Average effective rents have begun to markedly decline in several submarkets, particularly
in those burdened with significant supply in the pipeline. Overall, rental rates for both
Class A and B apartments rose slightly over the past year with Class A rents unchanged
and Class B rents rising 0.7%.
• Data from REIS shows the national vacancy rate remained unchanged at 4.1% during
Second Quarter 2014 following several quarters of declines.
• Class A absorption was 9,366 units over the past 12 months in the DC metro area, above
the long-term average as the trend toward renting vs. owning appears to have resumed
its upward trend in 2013 and 2014. Absorption over the next 36 months may be
significantly higher than the region’s long term average of 5,846 units per annum with
Delta Associates estimating demand at approximately 8,500 units per annum over the
next three years. Over the coming quarters, job growth, demographic shifts (including
de-nesting and un-coupling of 25 to 34 year-olds) and renter/owner ratios at or above
current levels will be necessary for rental demand generation.
• According to data from the PricewaterhouseCoopers survey, average national overall
capitalization rates declined 20 basis points in the most recent survey from the prior
quarter, suggesting strong investor confidence in the national apartment. Average
capitalization rates in the Mid-Atlantic region were relatively flat from the prior quarter.

Multi-Family Market Analysis
42
The most recent PricewaterhouseCoopers survey notes that most investors foresee cap
rates holding steady over the next 12 months. According to Delta Associates,
capitalization rates in the Washington DC market increased slightly in 2013, as market
conditions became more competitive amid increased supply and muted job growth in the
region; however, apartments will remain in favor as an asset class. According to Delta
Associates, capitalization rate appear to be holding steady in 2014.
• The millennial generation, valuing walkability, Metrorail access, robust project amenity
packages, and more urban mixed-use settings, continue to drive trends and future growth
in new multi-family development in the Washington DC metro area. A large share of this
sizable generation continues to rent rather than own, creating demand for Class A
apartments in urban/mixed-use locations. Additionally, more wealthy seniors, empty-
nesters and divorcees have the ability to rent higher-priced, larger one, two and three
bedroom Class A product coming online. Some renters in this demographic share similar
values and prefer a more urban lifestyle in a smaller footprint.
• After limited construction in 2009 and 2010 following the recent recession, the pipeline
grew rapidly, with a record setting construction pace in 2011. After a plateau in 2012,
construction has edged upward in 2013 and 2014, and the pipeline is at 39,962 units at
Second Quarter 2014. The elevated production level will delay a return to
supply/demand equilibrium for the region through 2017. As rents have declined and
construction costs have increased, the pipeline is expected to shrink to a more healthy
level over the next 12 to 24 months. There have been 12,069 units delivered over the
past 12 months with an additional 19,103 units to come to market over the next 12
months (2Q14-2Q15) followed by 8,938 units during the following 12-month period
(2Q15-2Q16). As deliveries continue at elevated levels, market fundamentals will
continue to become more competitive over the next 24 months.

Forecasted growth rates, based on the most recent market forecast performed by CBRE
Econometric Advisors, indicates rent growth from 2014 to 2019 will average 2.3% with lower
growth over the next two years due to the significant supply in the pipeline.
Rent growth in the DC Metro Area, per Delta Reports, was essentially unchanged from Second
Quarter 2013 to Second Quarter 2014 with a positive 3.6% five-year average. Class A rents
remained relatively unchanged over the past 12 months, while Class B rents increased 0.7% over
the same time period. Annual rental rate growth among the Class A & B product was relatively
flat in the Northern Virginia, while the District of Columbia and Suburban Maryland had slight
increases in average effective rents.

Overall, average effective rents have begun to markedly decline in several submarkets,
particularly in those burdened with significant supply in the pipeline. Additionally, demand has
slowed as the boost provided by households changing from owning to renting has largely run its
course and the market is relying solely on tepid job growth to generate demand for new units.
Given a robust delivery schedule for the significant supply in the pipeline, modest rent declines
are probable at the regional level in 2014 and 2015; however, stronger submarkets should
outperform market averages. Delta Associates expects rent growth to recover to the 3.0% level by
2017. General long-term expectations are for continued growth in the Washington Metro Area.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CLASS A APARTMENT MARKET
The District of Columbia segment of the metro area posted an overall vacancy rate of 4.1% for
Class A and B product as of Second Quarter 2014, which is relatively consistent with the overall
region. The Class A mid/high-rise apartment market vacancy was 4.5% for stabilized inventory.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA RENT CONTROL LAW
Properties situated within the District of Columbia, which imposes rent control may be subject to
the following guidelines. The Rent Control Reform Amendment Act of 2006 took effect in August
2006. As of August 4, 2006 all D.C. rental units that fell under the old rent control laws became
subject to a new law. Generally, rent control governs many of the housing units in the District that
were built before 1975. One of the most important alterations to the law is that rent ceilings were
abolished. Now landlords can raise rents according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 2%.
The primary exception is that the increase cannot exceed 10%. For elderly and disabled tenants,
rent adjustments are restricted to the inflation rate with a maximum increase of 5%. Another
aspect of the Rent Control Reform Amendment Act of 2006 is that landlords can raise rent only
once every 12 months.
As a new property, the subject would not fall under the restrictions of the Rent Control Reform
Amendment Act.

* Recently stabilized projects from 2Q11 - 2Q14* Actively Marketing excludes projects which recently began leasing with no lease-up dataSource: Delta Associates, Inc. (Second Quarter 2014); Compiled by: CBRE
Actively marketing apartment projects are leasing at a slightly faster pace relative to projects that
stabilized over the past three years; however, absorption will face downward pressure over the
next 36 months due to the large slate of deliveries compared to projected demand levels.
INVESTMENT TRENDS
According to data from Real Capital Analytics, sales of significant apartment properties totaled
$103.5 billion, up 18% over 2012. Prices also continued to rise, up 12% in 2013; however, the
increase was well below the office, retail and hotel sectors. Portfolio transactions are
proliferating, evidencing investors' growing appetite and access to capital. Nationally, average
cap rate changed little over 2013 notwithstanding further compression for trophy properties and
a 100 basis point increase in interest rates. With expectations of a rising interest rate
environment and cap rates near historic lows, it will be improving leasing fundamentals, and not
further cap rate compression, that will have to drive apartment prices higher in most markets.
Therefore, investors are growing circumspect of markets where the development pipeline
threatens to temper rent growth and occupancy levels.

WASHINGTON, DC METRO AREA - TRANSACTION SUMMARYMay 2014 YTD May 2013 YTD
Regionally, year-end sales volume in the Washington, DC metro area increased significantly from
2012 to 2013, but is skewed primarily due to the sale of Archstone properties in two portfolios to
Equity Residential and AvalonBay Communities. Regionally, investors continue to target well-
located Class A multi-family product, as well as Class B value-add deals. Despite the expansion
of the supply pipeline and continued risks to job growth, local brokers note that many recent
listings have been highly competitive with multiple offers.
Capitalization rates trended upward significantly between the end of 2007 and the end of 2009
due to declining market conditions and an ongoing deterioration of the credit markets. They
steadily climbed from their lowest levels of early 2008 and climbed steeply between late 2008
and mid 2009. They began to stabilize in late 2009 and compressed in 2010 and 2011, but

capitalization rates and discount rates (IRR) reported by the PricewaterhouseCoopers Real Estate
Investor Survey over the past several years.
Based on the national data, average apartment OARs, IRRs and residual cap rates are at or near
10-year lows. OARs were near all-time lows in 2Q 2008, but increased to 8.03% in 4Q 2009,
and then declined to 5.61% as of 3Q 2013. OARs had been relatively flat in 2012 and 2013 in
the mid to high 5% range, but increased slightly from 5.61% to 5.80% from 3Q 2013 to 4Q
2013 and remained relatively flat in 1Q 2014. OARs declined in 2Q 2014 to 5.59%. Residual
capitalization rates and IRRs have followed a similar pattern and the spread between OARs and
residual rates has been in the 40-55 basis point range over the past several quarters.
Discount rates (IRR) declined from 10.18% in 1Q 2010 to 7.98% as of 3Q 2013, and had
remained relatively flat in 2012 and 2013 in the high 7%/low 8% range. The average discount
rate increased from 7.98% to 8.17% from 3Q 2013 to 4Q 2013, but was relatively flat in 1Q
2014. The average IRR declined to 7.98% as of 2Q 2014. Residual rates, currently in the low 6%
range, declined from 8.19% in 4Q 2009 to 6.15% as of 3Q 2013, but increased from 6.15% to
6.29% from 3Q 2013 to 4Q 2013. The average residual rate decreased slightly from 4Q 2013
to 1Q 2014 from 6.29% to 6.23% and more significantly from 6.23% to 6.02% in 2Q 2014. The
spread between going-in and residual rates was +/- 100 basis points in 2005 and 2006, but
dropped to a 10-year low at 16 basis points in late 2009/early 2010 as economic conditions
declined and OARs increased. As of 2Q 2014, the spread is 43 basis points.

IRRs, OARs and residual cap rates were relatively flat in the current quarter. Residual cap rate
spreads have remained relatively flat in 2012 and 2013 near 50-65 basis points.
Interest Rates
Market participants note that multi-family mortgage rates and overall capitalization rates in the
subject’s asset class are influenced by 10-year treasury yields. Most lenders, including FNMA and
FHLC, price their fixed rate loans based on a spread over the Treasury rate or yield. The spread
represents the risk premium that a lender will want for making the loan instead of buying
Treasury bonds. The following chart indicates yields for 10-year treasury notes over the past 12
months.

HISTORICAL 10-YEAR TREASURY YIELDS
Treasury yields had been near or below 2% in early 2013; however, rates increased in mid-June
2013 following comments by the Federal Reserve regarding the central bank's plans to gradually
scale back its stimulus measures in light of increased confidence in economic growth. Treasury
yields have been in the mid 2% range in 2014. As of Second Quarter 2014, there has not been
evidence of declining market conditions or increased capitalization rates as a result of the spike
in interest rates since most investors had anticipated an increase in interest rates. Further
significant increases in interest rates may result in future upward pressure on overall capitalization
rates.

CONCLUSION
The Washington, DC metro apartment market is exhibiting strong occupancy levels; however, the
region’s average effective rental rates have remained relatively flat over the past 12 months as
the supply pipeline has ballooned and market conditions have become more competitive.
Several submarkets, particularly in those burdened with significant supply in the pipeline, are
exhibiting rent declines. Despite the recent trends in absorption and expansion of the supply
pipeline, the local market area should maintain a stabilized occupancy position. The addition of
new product to the market will create downward pressure on occupancy and effective rental
rates. While job growth has been positive and the metro area’s unemployment rate is among the
lowest among major metro areas, the region is poised for slower growth than prior cycles have
indicated during expansion phases and job growth is expected to gain momentum in the latter
half of 2014 after a weak start. Due to a myriad of factors including demographic trends and
increased preferences to rent rather than own, the long-term projection for the Washington, DC
metro apartment rental market is for continued growth.
With respect to the subject in particular, we believe the subject is well located for an apartment
project. While it is in good proximity to employment centers, major roadways, significant retail
and entertainment amenities and Metrorail, most new apartment development is concentrated
further north near Mount Vernon Square given the higher rents for office space in the areas
immediately surrounding the subject. Based upon our analysis, an apartment rental project on
the subject site would enjoy good market acceptance.

REGIONAL OFFICE MARKET DYNAMICS
Overview
The Metropolitan Washington Region contains over 388 million square feet of competitive office
space as of Second Quarter 2014. The region’s office market is segmented into three broad
submarkets: the District of Columbia, Suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia. Of the three
submarkets Northern Virginia is the largest with approximately 47% of the inventory. As of
Second Quarter 2014, there were nearly 59 million square feet vacant (direct and sublet space),
indicating an overall vacancy rate of 15.2%. The market statistics as of Second Quarter 2014
are summarized in the following chart:

WASHINGTON, D.C. REGIONAL OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEWSECOND QUARTER 2014
All three major market areas have experienced an increase in vacancy since 2000, when the
region’s overall average vacancy of 4.7% was at a historical low. Overall, the region’s vacancy
(including sublet space) increased to 15.2% as of Second Quarter 2014 from 14.8% as of First
Quarter 2014. The District of Columbia vacancy rate increased from 11.2% to 11.3% over the
same period, while the Suburban Maryland vacancy rate (including sublet space) increased from
17.1% to 17.2%. The Northern Virginia vacancy rate increased from 16.3% to 17.0%.
Vacancy Rates
MSA vacancy rates have trended upward since 2006. The exception was 2010, a year where the
federal government absorbed significant amounts of space in the District. The Second Quarter
2014 vacancy rate of 15.2% is the highest level in the region over the past 15 years.

Demand
Demand has been sluggish since December 2007 as the economy entered recession, followed by
a slow growth recovery with minimal expansion in office employment. While the unemployment
rate declined from a January 2010 peak of 7.0% to 5.0% (preliminary) in May 2014, office
employment growth remains sluggish, creating little demand for office space.
Statistics reveal an average of nearly 3.8 million square feet per year was absorbed since 1999
(15.5 years), with only 2.5 million square feet per year since 2004 (10.5 years). Positive
absorption is heavily weighted to the years preceding 2008. Since that time, average annual
absorption has been negative.
The exception was in 2010, led by the District of Columbia, with the DC Government and
General Services Administration (GSA) accounting for nearly all of the demand. The region
absorbed over 6.0 million square-feet, with the District of Columbia recording over 4.3 million
square-feet in positive absorption. Suburban Maryland experienced approximately 226,042
square-feet in positive absorption, while Northern Virginia recorded 1,485,589 square-feet in
positive absorption.
Despite positive employment growth in the region, the MSA posted over 2.3 million square feet of
negative absorption during 2011. This paradox is partially due to BRAC relocations to new
government developed facilities in Mark Center in Alexandria and Ft. Belvoir in Fairfax County,
along with “shadow vacancy”, where companies are consolidating and backfilling underutilized
office space under lease. As a result, Northern Virginia posted nearly 1.9 million square feet of
negative absorption, with Suburban Maryland and the District of Columbia at 385,000 square
feet and 66,295 square feet, respectively. Both the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia
posted negative absorption in 2012 with 605,118 square feet and 2,007,059 square feet,
respectively. Suburban Maryland posted modest positive absorption of 84,151 square feet.
During 2013, the District of Columbia posted modest positive absorption of 372,975 square feet,
while Suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia posted negative absorption of 335,324 square
feet and 910,243 square feet, respectively. Absorption was negative during the first half of
2014. The District of Columbia posted negative absorption of 658,879 square feet, while
Suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia posted negative absorption of 298,655 square feet
and 277,956 square feet, respectively. There is an additional 1.4 million square feet of BRAC
related move-outs pending in Northern Virginia over the next 12 months. This space is primarily
situated in the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor and Crystal City submarkets.

Absorption Projections
Office employment is generally measured by FIRE and service sectors which includes such
industries as legal services, accounting, insurance, banking, real estate, advertising, and
engineering to name a few. In the Washington Metro Area, the government is also a sizable user
of office space. Future office employment has been projected by CBRE Econometric Advisors.
The CBRE Econometric Advisors office employment excludes government employment in the
office sector; however, growth from this sector is expected to be negligible.

REGIONAL VACANCY PROJECTIONS
The following chart projects office space vacancies over the next 24 months. The analysis is based
solely on space under construction and under renovation with our demand projections at 1.5
million square feet per year. Based on this analysis, the overall metropolitan area vacancy rate
will increase slightly from 15.2% to 15.4% by Second Quarter 2016 (assuming no new
construction starts). As noted, the District of Columbia vacancy rate is projected to increase
slightly to 11.7%. The Northern Virginia and Suburban Maryland markets will also experience a
slight increase in vacancy over the next 24 months. Overall, it appears the market will be
strained to accommodate new speculative development, as vacancies will remain above 10%.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA OFFICE MARKET DYNAMICS
The District of Columbia office market consists of over 125 million square feet of office space
located in 668 competitive multi-tenanted buildings. As of Second Quarter 2014, there is nearly
14.1 million square feet of vacant space (including sublet space), indicating a vacancy rate of
11.3% for the competitive multi-tenanted properties. Demand in 2010, as measured by net
absorption, totaled the highest it has been since pre-recessionary levels, as a direct result of
several sizeable federal government leases. However, demand slowed in 2011 and 2012 with
negative net absorption for the first time in over 15 years. The market posted modest positive
absorption in 2013, however, the vacancy rate increased slightly due to significant new
development. Absorption was negative during 2014.

registered over 4.3 million square feet of positive absorption during of 2010 and the vacancy
rate declined to the 9.7%. However, net absorption was negative during 2011 and 2012 and the
vacancy increased to 10.6%. Although there was modest positive absorption in 2013, the
vacancy rate increased slightly due to significant new construction deliveries. The vacancy rate
increased to 11.3% during 2014 due to negative absorption.

After a very strong year in 2010, demand turned negative in 2011 and 2012. Although the
emerging submarket of NOMA posted significant positive net absorption in 2011 as large
government and nonprofit tenants moved to new efficiently designed buildings that were cost
effective, the established East End and CBD submarkets posted negative net absorption primarily
due to tenant downsizing and the implosion of a large law firm, Howrey LLP. For 2012, the
submarkets posted either minimal or negative absorption. The market trended upward during
2013 with 372,975 square feet of positive absorption. The positive absorption was driven
primarily by the CBD and NOMA submarkets. The market posted negative absorption during
second quarter 2014, primarily due to Intelsat’s relocation from the Uptown submarket to Tysons

during the second quarter of 2014. The Georgetown and West End submarkets also posted
negative absorption, while the remaining submarkets posted positive absorption.

From 2004 to 2006, low vacancies and strong demand throughout the District of Columbia
placed upward pressure on rents, providing sufficient net income to achieve adequate returns on
speculative office building development. As expected, declining demand in 2007, 2008 and
2009 increased vacancy rates and abated rent growth.
Asking rates continued to remain elevated due to high concession packages. The average asking
rental rate is $52.59 per square foot as of Second Quarter 2014.

Due to the uncertainty of the economy and pre-leasing requirements of lenders, many developers
have signed leases in buildings before beginning construction to reduce lease-up risk. Overall
pre-leased occupancy rate for the under construction supply was 37.9% as of the date of our
survey.
As of Second Quarter 2014, nearly 1.9 million square feet of office space are under construction
or renovation in the District of Columbia. This space is situated in 10 office buildings with

calendar year 2014 through 2017 delivery dates. Current development is located in the core
submarkets of the CBD and East End, as well as Uptown and Southwest.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CONCLUSION
As noted in the previous section, vacancies in the District of Columbia over the next 24 months
are expected to increase. The analysis is based solely on space under construction with our
demand projections at 525,000 square feet per year. Based on this analysis, the market’s
vacancy rate will increase 11.7% over the next 24 months (assuming no new construction starts).
EAST END OFFICE SUBMARKET
The East End submarket is the largest submarket in terms of square footage of the District of
Columbia office market with over 42 million square feet, or approximately 34% of the office
supply of the market. As of the Second Quarter 2014, the East End submarket had a vacancy
rate of 11.1%, in-line with the District of Columbia average of 11.3%. Net absorption during the
first two quarters of 2014 has been negative with 326,740 square feet. The average asking
rental rate of $56.77 per square foot is above the District of Columbia average of $52.59 per
square foot, and is the second highest submarket behind Capitol Hill’s $58.14 per square foot.
Asking rates at office properties currently under construction in the East End area typically range
from $35 to $55 per square foot, net of all expenses. Tenant improvement packages are
typically $65-$100 over shell (drop ceiling, painted wallboard without partitioning, and carpeted
tenant area) with ten to fifteen year lease terms for large tenants. Most leases include an annual
rent escalator of 2.25% to 2.50%, and often have mid-term steps on larger and longer-term
leases. Over the past two years it has become common for landlords to provide free rent on
longer deals.

Overall, the submarket is stable and is expected to have positive, albeit slow, growth moving
forward given the uncertainty with respect to federal government spending.
There are two office buildings currently under construction and another building which was
recently renovated in the subject’s submarket.
• 601 Massachusetts Avenue, NW is a 478,000 square-foot office building currently under construction. The building broke ground in Second Quarter 2013 and is scheduled for delivery in Fourth Quarter 2015. The developer is Boston Properties.
• 900 G Street, NW is a 111,466 square-foot office building currently under construction just south of the subject property across G Street. The building broke ground in Second Quarter 2013 and is scheduled for delivery in First Quarter 2015. The developer is MRP Realty.
• 799 9th Street, NW is a 204,025 square-foot office building constructed in 2001. The property was recently renovated to include a full lobby and building entry renovation, new fitness center, new common areas and restrooms and new rooftop terrace. Quoted rents for office space range from $44 to $52 per square-foot on a triple net basis.

Comparable Two is a project currently under construction. Comparable Three is a project that
was recently renovated. These properties are in close proximity to the subject and will be direct
competitors.
SUBJECT ANALYSIS
The improvements are currently the home of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library;
however, as noted earlier in the report, the highest and best use of the subject is for office use
with ground level retail space.

The adjacent building, 733 10th Street, NW, was a newly constructed building that reached
stabilized occupancy in less than two years. Another building at 799 9th Street, NW was recently
renovated following the expiration of its leases in First Quarter 2013. The building was
renovated and is currently 73.2% leased, although it is only approximately 5% occupied. The
building sold in June 2012 and the broker estimated that it would take approximately four years
to stabilize the building.
Considering the subject’s location and physical characteristics, including its open floor plates, we
have estimated lease-up of the subject’s office space within three years.
CONCLUSION
As noted in the previous section, vacancies in the District of Columbia over the next 24 months
are expected to increase. The analysis is based solely on space under construction with our
demand projections at 595,000 square feet per year. Based on this analysis, the market’s
vacancy rate will increase 11.7% over the next 24 months (assuming no new construction starts).

With respect to the subject, we believe the subject is well located for an office building. It is in
good proximity to employment centers, major roadways, Metrorail and retail amenities. It is
located in an office submarket achieving among the highest rental rates in the Washington, DC
Metro Area. Rental rates in the subject's submarket, currently about $55 per square-foot, are
considered sufficient to support an adequate return on cost. Additionally, there is an office
building currently under construction across the street from the subject. Overall, office
development on the subject site is considered feasible, particularly if a lease were signed for a
majority of the subject’s office density prior to completion.
Based on the foregoing analysis, CBRE, Inc.’s conclusion of stabilized occupancy for the subject is
illustrated in the following table. This estimate considers both the physical and economic factors
of the market.
OCCUPANCY CONCLUSIONS
Washington, DC Region 84.8%
District of Columbia 88.7%

Compiled by CBRE
COSTS TO ACHIEVE STABILIZED OPERATIONS
A stabilized occupancy for the subject has been estimated to be 90.0%, while, assuming the
subject is operated as an office building with ground level retail space, the subject is currently
vacant. Consequently, an adjustment is warranted reflecting the rent loss, expense reimbursement
loss, tenant improvement allowance cost and leasing commission cost over the holding period.
Additionally, we have included profit to reflect the developer’s incentive to lease the property to
stabilization.
With the estimated lease-up period estimated in the preceding discussion, an adjustment for the
subject has been estimated. As noted earlier in the market analysis, we have estimated an
absorption period of three years. We have deducted 18 months of rent loss since leases will be
staggered over the absorption period. The Lease-Up Discount Analysis schedule is presented
below. This analysis will be deducted as a line item from each approach in order to render an
“as is” value estimate.

Highest and Best Use
73
Highest and Best Use
In appraisal practice, the concept of highest and best use represents the premise upon which
value is based. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are:
• legally permissible; • physically possible; • financially feasible; and • maximally productive.
The highest and best use analysis of the subject is discussed below.
AS VACANT
Legally Permissible
The legally permissible uses were discussed in the Site Analysis and Zoning Sections.
Physically Possible
The subject is adequately served by utilities, and has an adequate shape and size, sufficient
access, etc., to be a separately developable site. There are no known physical reasons why the
subject site would not support any legally probable development (i.e. it appears adequate for
development).
Existing structures on similar sites provides additional evidence for the physical possibility of
development.
Financially Feasible
The determination of financial feasibility is dependent primarily on the relationship of supply and
demand for the legally probable land uses versus the cost to create the uses.
Lower density uses, such as retail development, do not maximize the site’s development potential.
A hotel development was also considered in the analysis; however, there have been few new
hotels developed in the subject’s neighborhood in the past several years and hotel development
is not considered feasible given current capitalization rates.
As discussed in the market analysis, the subject office market is generally stabilized. Development
of new office properties has occurred in the past few years, including a building currently under
construction across G Street, NW from the subject.
As discussed in the multi-family market analysis, the subject multi-family market is also generally
stabilized; however, apart from the multi-family component of the CityCenterDC project, new
multi-family development has been concentrated further north near Mount Vernon Triangle.

As noted later in the report, office density sales have ranged from $207.37 to $301.37 per FAR,
while, as noted in the chart above, multi-family density transacts at lower per-FAR pricing.
Maximally Productive - Conclusion
The final test of highest and best use of the site as if vacant is that the use be maximally
productive, yielding the highest return to the land.
Based on the information presented above and upon information contained in the market and
neighborhood analysis, we conclude that the highest and best use of the subject as if vacant
would be the development of an office property. More specifically, the subject would be
developed to maximize the site’s allowable density, which is typical of similar projects in this
market. Our analysis of the subject and its respective market characteristics indicate the most
likely buyer, as if vacant, would be a developer.
AS IMPROVED
Legally Permissible
The site has been improved with an office development that is a legal, nonconforming use.
As noted earlier in the report, the building and major interior public spaces were designated a
Historic Landmark in 2007 and placed on the historic register. The building may be renovated
subject to review by the DC Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB), but cannot be
demolished.

Highest and Best Use
76
Physically Possible
The layout and positioning of the improvements are considered functional for office use. While it
would be physically possible for a wide variety of uses, based on the legal restrictions and the
design of the improvements, the leasing of the property for office users would be the most
functional use.
Financially Feasible
The financial feasibility of an office property is based on the amount of rent which can be
generated, less operating expenses required to generate that income; if a residual amount exists,
then the land is being put to a productive use. Based upon the income capitalization approach
conclusion, the subject is capable of producing a positive net cash flow and utilization of the
improvements for office purposes is considered financially feasible.
Maximally Productive - Conclusion
As shown in the applicable valuation sections, buildings that are leased to office tenants have
been acquired or continue to be used by office owners/tenants. None of the comparable
buildings have been acquired for conversion to an alternative use.
As noted earlier in the report, the building can accommodate two additional floors without any
modification of foundations as long as the library’s fourth floor continues to be used for offices.
Since office development is feasible,
Based on the foregoing, the highest and best use of the property, as improved, is for renovation
and leasing for office use.

Appraisal Methodology
77
Appraisal Methodology
In appraisal practice, an approach to value is included or omitted based on its applicability to the
property type being valued and the quality and quantity of information available.
COST APPROACH
The cost approach is based on the proposition that the informed purchaser would pay no more
for the subject than the cost to produce a substitute property with equivalent utility. This approach
is particularly applicable when the property being appraised involves relatively new improvements
that represent the highest and best use of the land, or when it is improved with relatively unique
or specialized improvements for which there exist few sales or leases of comparable properties.
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The sales comparison approach utilizes sales of comparable properties, adjusted for differences,
to indicate a value for the subject. Valuation is typically accomplished using physical units of
comparison such as price per square foot, price per unit, price per floor, etc., or economic units
of comparison such as gross rent multiplier. Adjustments are applied to the physical units of
comparison derived from the comparable sale. The unit of comparison chosen for the subject is
then used to yield a total value. Economic units of comparison are not adjusted, but rather
analyzed as to relevant differences, with the final estimate derived based on the general
comparisons.
INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH
The income capitalization approach reflects the subject’s income-producing capabilities. This
approach is based on the assumption that value is created by the expectation of benefits to be
derived in the future. Specifically estimated is the amount an investor would be willing to pay to
receive an income stream plus reversion value from a property over a period of time. The two
common valuation techniques associated with the income capitalization approach are direct
capitalization and the discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis.
METHODOLOGY APPLICABLE TO THE SUBJECT
In valuing the subject, all three approaches are applicable and have been utilized.

Land Value
79
It should be noted that, while there have been sufficient land sales to estimate market value by a
sales comparison approach, the volume of land sales has diminished somewhat since prior to the
most recent recession. The volume has declined primarily due to declining market conditions for
office development, federal austerity measures that have decreased demand for GSA tenants,
and a decline in the available land for office uses as projects are developed.
In the analysis we have used the subject’s above-grade FAR in the calculation of the land value,
which is relatively consistent with the Preliminary Zoning Analysis in the Development Study
prepared by Studios Architecture (dated March 2013).
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS OF LAND SALES
Land Sale One
This comparable represents the sale of 133,000 square-feet of air rights supporting the office
component of a mixed-use property in Georgetown at 2900 K Street, NW. The property is
already built, and a 99-year ground lease has been drafted. The initial ground rent is
$1,375,000 which is flat for the first two years, and there are minimum annual increases that are
somewhat above the expected CPI ranging from 3.95% - 5% over years 3-16. There is a
repurchase option in year 15 based on the 16th year rent divided by 5.95%. An overall ground
lease cap rate of 3.5% is indicated.
The property sold in August 2013 for $39,000,000 or $293.23 per FAR. The pricing was based
on the market value of the ground lease.
Land Sale Two
This comparable represents the sale of a 13,068 square-foot site at 624 9th Street, NW (also
known as 900 G Street, NW). The site was improved with a Class C office building at the time of
the sale. Demolition costs have been included in the adjusted sale price. A 9-story office
building is currently under construction on the site including a below-grade parking garage and
7,000 square-feet of ground level retail space. Rental rates were projected in the low $50 per
square-foot range (NNN).
The property sold in May 2012 for $33,475,795 or $301.37 per FAR.
Land Sale Three
This comparable represents the sale of a 17,013 square-foot site at 1200 17th Street, NW.
Improvements at the time of the sale included an 83,157 square-foot office building, which was
demolished. Demolition costs have been included in the adjusted sale price. The site was zoned
SP2 at the time of the sale; however, the zoning was changed to C-4 following the sale. The new
zoning classification allows development to 10.0 FAR, which is relatively consistent with the
building developed. Pro-forma rental rates were estimated at $52 per square-foot (NNN).
The property sold in October 2011 for $39,974,207 or $234.96 per FAR.

Land Sale Four
This comparable represents the assemblage of 15 lots from four owners (transferred on four
deeds) of approximately 285,000 SF in density for office development in the District of
Columbia's East End submarket near Mount Vernon Triangle. The buyer, the Association of
American Medical Colleges, will reportedly develop the site for a future headquarters. The site
features a corner location and good frontage and visibility. The site was occupied by several
storefront retail buildings at the time of the sale. The property owner had sufficient CLDs to allow
for a 100% commercial development. The CLDs have already been acquired, requiring no
adjustment. We have estimated demolition costs at $100,000 and included the cost in the
adjusted sale price.
The property sold in August 2011 for $59,100,000 or $207.37 per FAR.
ANALYSIS OF COMPARABLE OFFICE LAND SALES
The unadjusted sale prices range from $207.37 to $301.37 per FAR and all transferred since
August 2011.
Conditions of Sale
This adjustment accounts for extraordinary conditions of sale, such as transactions between
related properties that would alter the cash value transaction of an improved sale. Each of the
sales are considered market value transactions and do not warrant adjustment.
Market Conditions (Time)
While Sales Two, Three and Four are slightly older transactions, market conditions for office
development are considered relatively similar since the dates of sale, requiring no adjustment for
market conditions.
Size/Shape
Based on the principle of economies of scale, a larger site with respect to development density
would most likely sell for a lower price per square foot. Additionally, larger sites may be phased
for future development over a holding period. Although there is some variance in size, no
adjustments are considered warranted.
Corner/Frontage/Views
No adjustments are necessary for corner/frontage/views.
Zoning/Density/Entitlements
Land Sale Three requires an upward adjustment since a zoning change was required to develop
the office building. The remaining comparables are located in zoning classifications allowing for
office development, requiring no adjustment.

CONCLUSION
Based on the preceding analysis, Comparable Two was the most representative of the subject
site, and warranted greatest consideration because it required the least gross adjustment and is
located adjacent to the subject. In conclusion, a price per FAR indication towards the higher end
of the range was most appropriate for the subject. The following table presents the valuation

Excess Density Value
83
Excess Density Value
In the analysis of the subject’s excess density we have used similar comparable data relative to
the land value.
As noted in the Zoning Analysis, we have assumed the subject can accommodate two additional
floors of development, or approximately 131,042 SF (131,042 SF x 2) based on the gross
building area of the upper floors noted in the Improvements Analysis.
As noted earlier in the report, the subject has only one level of below-grade parking and requires
development of a parking lift system or parking reduction/elimination from the DC Board of
Zoning Adjustment (BZA) to permit development of the excess density. The parking lift system can
accommodate 475 cars at a cost of $7,250,000 according to an estimate provided in August
2012. In the analysis we have deducted the cost of the lift system from the excess density to
derive an As-Is value for the subject’s excess density.
The following chart summarizes the value of the subject’s excess density.

been utilized (where available):
• the comparative unit method has been employed, utilizing the Marshall Valuation Service (MVS) cost guide, published by Marshall and Swift, LLC;
MARSHALL VALUATION SERVICE
Direct Cost
Salient details regarding the direct costs are summarized in the Cost Approach Conclusion at the
end of this section. The MVS cost estimates include the following:
1. average architect’s and engineer’s fees for plans, plan check, building permits and survey(s) to establish building line;
2. normal interest in building funds during the period of construction plus a processing fee or service charge;
3. materials, sales taxes on materials, and labor costs; 4. normal site preparation including finish grading and excavation for foundation and
backfill; 5. utilities from structure to lot line figured for typical setback; 6. contractor’s overhead and profit, including job supervision, workmen’s compensation,
fire and liability insurance, unemployment insurance, equipment, temporary facilities, security, etc.;
7. site improvements (included as lump sum additions); and 8. initial tenant improvement costs are included in MVS cost estimate. However, additional
lease-up costs such as advertising, marketing and leasing commissions are not included.
Base building costs (direct costs) are adjusted to reflect the physical characteristics of the subject.
Making these adjustments, including the appropriate local and current cost multipliers, the direct
building cost is indicated.
Additions
Items not included in the direct building cost estimate include parking and walks, signage,
landscaping, and miscellaneous site improvements. The cost for these items is estimated
separately using the segregated cost sections of the MVS cost guide.
Indirect Cost Items
Several indirect cost items are not included in the direct building cost figures derived through the
MVS cost guide. These items include developer overhead (general and administrative costs),
property taxes, legal and insurance costs, local development fees and contingencies, lease-up
and marketing costs and miscellaneous costs. The concluded indirect cost allowance is 20.0%.

ACCRUED DEPRECIATION
There are essentially three sources of accrued depreciation:
1. physical deterioration, both curable and incurable; 2. functional obsolescence, both curable and incurable; and 3. external obsolescence.
Physical Deterioration
The following chart provides a summary of the remaining economic life.

Accrued Physical Incurable Depreciation 54.5%
Compiled by CBRE
As noted in the Improvements Analysis, considering the significant investment to cure the deferred
maintenance we have used an effective age lower than the actual age for the subject.
Functional Obsolescence
Based on a review of the design and layout of the improvements, no forms of curable functional
obsolescence were noted. Because replacement cost considers the construction of the subject
improvements utilizing modern materials and current standards, design and layout, functional
incurable obsolescence is not applicable.
External Obsolescence
Based on a review of the local market and neighborhood, no forms of external obsolescence
affect the subject.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS OF IMPROVED SALES
Improved Sale One
This comparable represents a 109,000-square-foot, Class A multi-tenant office property, which is

represents TIs, LCs, and rent loss from downtime were added. The indicated financials are based
on year 2 stabilized estimates. Year 3 estimates have been reported to reflect a low 5.0% yield,
but this assumed no stabilized vacancy rate, understated management fee and more aggressive
rent growth. There is nominal lease expiration until 2023 when 36% of the space expires,
primarily due to the expiration of Perkins Cole, LLP.

grade space. As noted earlier within the analysis of Rent Comparable One, a lower level space
was recently leased at a triple net equivalent rent of $14 per square-foot, while the above grade
space was leased at about $50 per square-foot, reflecting a 72% lower rent. However, this large

DIRECT CAPITALIZATION
Direct capitalization is a method used to convert a single year’s estimated stabilized net operating
income into a value indication. The following subsections represent different techniques for
deriving an overall capitalization rate.
Comparable Sales
The overall capitalization rates (OARs) confirmed for the comparable sales analyzed in the sales
comparison approach are as follows:
COMPARABLE CAPITALIZATION RATES

Indicated OAR: 90% 4.43%-5.79%
Compiled by: CBRE
The overall capitalization rates for these sales were derived based upon the actual or pro-forma
income characteristics of the property. Sale Nos. One, Two and Three transpired within the past
six months, while Sale Nos. Four, Five and Six represent slightly older transaction dates.
Therefore, primary emphasis has been placed upon the more recent data, which is generally
reflective of current market trends, interest rates, and buyer’s expectations and motivation in the
market.

Overall, an OAR in the higher portion of the range of the comparable sales is considered
appropriate for the following reasons:
STRENGTHS/ OPPORTUNITIES
• The subject is located in an office submarket achieving among the highest rents in the Washington DC office market;
• The subject has a strong location situated is one block west of the Verizon Center and across 9th Street, NW from an entrance to the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metrorail station (Orange, Blue and Red Lines) at 9th and G Street, NW;
• The subject’s existing improvements do not maximize the site’s allowable density and the building can accommodate two additional floors without any modification of foundations as long as the library’s fourth floor continues to be used for offices;
• The east and west portions of the first floor library space have glass storefront windows, which are well suited for ground level retail or restaurant space;
• The typical floor plate for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor office space is approximately 53,000 square-feet, which is above many competitive office buildings in the District of Columbia. Additionally, the building’s design allows for demolition of most of the interior walls, allowing for vast open areas for office use. The design in considered a benefit to the subject as repositioned to an office building;
WEAKNESSES/ THREATS
• Based on our property inspection, discussions with a property representative, a Project Strategy Report prepared by Freelon (dated December 29, 2010) and a Pre-Design Building Evaluation prepared by GDG (dated December 20, 2013), there are several items in need of repair including the building façade, water-related defects, and HVAC system replacement. The costs to cure the deferred maintenance are significant;
• The building and major interior public spaces were designated a Historic Landmark in 2007 and placed on the historic register. As such, any improvements or renovations to the building will be subject to review by the DC Historic Preservation Review Board (DHPRB) and must be sensitive to the historic character and significance of the original structure. The building cannot be demolished;
• According to a Hazardous Materials Survey prepared by GDG dated December 20, 2013, asbestos and lead paint were identified in several areas of the building.

Reconciliation of Value
The value indications from the approaches to value are summarized as follows:
SUMMARY OF VALUE CONCLUSIONSLand Value $73,000,000
Cost Approach $33,200,000
Sales Comparison Approach $31,700,000
Income Capitalization Approach $34,800,000
Reconciled Value $34,800,000
Compiled by CBRE
The cost approach typically gives a reliable value indication when there is strong support for the
replacement cost estimate and when there is minimal depreciation. Considering the substantial
amount of depreciation present in the property, the reliability of the cost approach is considered
somewhat diminished. Therefore, the cost approach is considered less applicable to the subject
and is used primarily as a test of reasonableness against the other valuation techniques.
In the sales comparison approach, the subject is compared to office properties that have been
sold recently or for which listing prices or offers are known. The sales used in this analysis are
considered comparable to the subject as leased to office tenants, and the required adjustments
were based on reasonable and well-supported rationale. In addition, market participants are
currently analyzing purchase prices on investment properties as they relate to available substitutes
in the market. Therefore, the sales comparison approach is considered to provide a reliable
value indication, but has been given secondary emphasis in the final value reconciliation.
The income capitalization approach is applicable to the subject since it is capable of being an
income producing property leased in the open market. Market participants are primarily
analyzing properties based on their income generating capability. Therefore, the income
capitalization approach is considered a reasonable and substantiated value indicator and has
been given primary emphasis in the final value estimate.

Assumptions and Limiting Conditions
1. Unless otherwise specifically noted in the body of the report, it is assumed that title to the property or properties appraised is clear and marketable and that there are no recorded or unrecorded matters or exceptions to title that would adversely affect marketability or value. CBRE, Inc. is not aware of any title defects nor has it been advised of any unless such is specifically noted in the report. CBRE, Inc., however, has not examined title and makes no representations relative to the condition thereof. Documents dealing with liens, encumbrances, easements, deed restrictions, clouds and other conditions that may affect the quality of title have not been reviewed. Insurance against financial loss resulting in claims that may arise out of defects in the subject’s title should be sought from a qualified title company that issues or insures title to real property.
2. Unless otherwise specifically noted in the body of this report, it is assumed: that the existing improvements on the property or properties being appraised are structurally sound, seismically safe and code conforming; that all building systems (mechanical/electrical, HVAC, elevator, plumbing, etc.) are in good working order with no major deferred maintenance or repair required; that the roof and exterior are in good condition and free from intrusion by the elements; that the property or properties have been engineered in such a manner that the improvements, as currently constituted, conform to all applicable local, state, and federal building codes and ordinances. CBRE, Inc. professionals are not engineers and are not competent to judge matters of an engineering nature. CBRE, Inc. has not retained independent structural, mechanical, electrical, or civil engineers in connection with this appraisal and, therefore, makes no representations relative to the condition of improvements. Unless otherwise specifically noted in the body of the report: no problems were brought to the attention of CBRE, Inc. by ownership or management; CBRE, Inc. inspected less than 100% of the entire interior and exterior portions of the improvements; and CBRE, Inc. was not furnished any engineering studies by the owners or by the party requesting this appraisal. If questions in these areas are critical to the decision process of the reader, the advice of competent engineering consultants should be obtained and relied upon. It is specifically assumed that any knowledgeable and prudent purchaser would, as a precondition to closing a sale, obtain a satisfactory engineering report relative to the structural integrity of the property and the integrity of building systems. Structural problems and/or building system problems may not be visually detectable. If engineering consultants retained should report negative factors of a material nature, or if such are later discovered, relative to the condition of improvements, such information could have a substantial negative impact on the conclusions reported in this appraisal. Accordingly, if negative findings are reported by engineering consultants, CBRE, Inc. reserves the right to amend the appraisal conclusions reported herein.
3. Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous material, which may or may not be present on the property was not observed by the appraisers. CBRE, Inc. has no knowledge of the existence of such materials on or in the property. CBRE, Inc., however, is not qualified to detect such substances. The presence of substances such as asbestos, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, contaminated groundwater or other potentially hazardous materials may affect the value of the property. The value estimate is predicated on the assumption that there is no such material on or in the property that would cause a loss in value. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions, or for any expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them. The client is urged to retain an expert in this field, if desired.
We have inspected, as thoroughly as possible by observation, the land; however, it was impossible to personally inspect conditions beneath the soil. Therefore, no representation is made as to these matters unless specifically considered in the appraisal.
4. All furnishings, equipment and business operations, except as specifically stated and typically considered as part of real property, have been disregarded with only real property being considered in the report unless otherwise stated. Any existing or proposed improvements, on or off-site, as well as any alterations or repairs considered, are assumed to be completed in a workmanlike manner according to standard practices based upon the information submitted to CBRE, Inc. This report may be subject to amendment upon re-inspection of the subject subsequent to repairs, modifications, alterations and completed new construction. Any estimate of Market Value is as of the date indicated; based upon the information, conditions and projected levels of operation.
5. It is assumed that all factual data furnished by the client, property owner, owner’s representative, or persons designated by the client or owner to supply said data are accurate and correct unless otherwise specifically noted in the appraisal report. Unless otherwise specifically noted in the appraisal report, CBRE, Inc. has no reason to believe that any of the data furnished contain any material error. Information and data referred to in this paragraph include, without being limited to, numerical street addresses, lot and block numbers, Assessor’s Parcel Numbers, land dimensions, square footage area of the land, dimensions of the improvements, gross building areas, net rentable areas, usable areas, unit count, room count, rent schedules, income data, historical operating expenses, budgets, and related data. Any material error in any of the above data could have a substantial impact

Accordingly, the client-addressee should carefully review all assumptions, data, relevant calculations, and conclusions within 30 days after the date of delivery of this report and should immediately notify CBRE, Inc. of any questions or errors.
6. The date of value to which any of the conclusions and opinions expressed in this report apply, is set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. Further, that the dollar amount of any value opinion herein rendered is based upon the purchasing power of the American Dollar on that date. This appraisal is based on market conditions existing as of the date of this appraisal. Under the terms of the engagement, we will have no obligation to revise this report to reflect events or conditions which occur subsequent to the date of the appraisal. However, CBRE, Inc. will be available to discuss the necessity for revision resulting from changes in economic or market factors affecting the subject.
7. CBRE, Inc. assumes no private deed restrictions, limiting the use of the subject in any way.
8. Unless otherwise noted in the body of the report, it is assumed that there are no mineral deposit or subsurface rights of value involved in this appraisal, whether they be gas, liquid, or solid. Nor are the rights associated with extraction or exploration of such elements considered unless otherwise stated in this appraisal report. Unless otherwise stated it is also assumed that there are no air or development rights of value that may be transferred.
9. CBRE, Inc. is not aware of any contemplated public initiatives, governmental development controls, or rent controls that would significantly affect the value of the subject.
10. The estimate of Market Value, which may be defined within the body of this report, is subject to change with market fluctuations over time. Market value is highly related to exposure, time promotion effort, terms, motivation, and conclusions surrounding the offering. The value estimate(s) consider the productivity and relative attractiveness of the property, both physically and economically, on the open market.
11. Any cash flows included in the analysis are forecasts of estimated future operating characteristics are predicated on the information and assumptions contained within the report. Any projections of income, expenses and economic conditions utilized in this report are not predictions of the future. Rather, they are estimates of current market expectations of future income and expenses. 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 vary from the projections considered herein. CBRE, Inc. does not warrant these forecasts will occur. Projections may be affected by circumstances beyond the current realm of knowledge or control of CBRE, Inc.
12. Unless specifically set forth in the body of the report, nothing contained herein shall be construed to represent any direct or indirect recommendation of CBRE, Inc. to buy, sell, or hold the properties at the value stated. Such decisions involve substantial investment strategy questions and must be specifically addressed in consultation form.
13. Also, unless otherwise noted in the body of this report, it is assumed that no changes in the present zoning ordinances or regulations governing use, density, or shape are being considered. The property is appraised assuming that all required licenses, certificates of occupancy, consents, or other legislative or administrative authority from any local, state, nor national government or private entity or organization have been or can be obtained or renewed for any use on which the value estimates contained in this report is based, unless otherwise stated.
14. This study may not be duplicated in whole or in part without the specific written consent of CBRE, Inc. nor may this report or copies hereof be transmitted to third parties without said consent, which consent CBRE, Inc. reserves the right to deny. Exempt from this restriction is duplication for the internal use of the client-addressee and/or transmission to attorneys, accountants, or advisors of the client-addressee. Also exempt from this restriction is transmission of the report to any court, governmental authority, or regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the party/parties for whom this appraisal was prepared, provided that this report and/or its contents shall not be published, in whole or in part, in any public document without the express written consent of CBRE, Inc. which consent CBRE, Inc. reserves the right to deny. Finally, this report shall not be advertised to the public or otherwise used to induce a third party to purchase the property or to make a “sale” or “offer for sale” of any “security”, as such terms are defined and used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Any third party, not covered by the exemptions herein, who may possess this report, is advised that they should rely on their own independently secured advice for any decision in connection with this property. CBRE, Inc. shall have no accountability or responsibility to any such third party.
15. Any value estimate provided in the report applies to the entire property, and any pro ration or division of the title into fractional interests will invalidate the value estimate, unless such pro ration or division of interests has been set forth in the report.

16. The distribution of the total valuation in this report between land and improvements applies only under the existing program of utilization. Component values for land and/or buildings are not intended to be used in conjunction with any other property or appraisal and are invalid if so used.
17. The maps, plats, sketches, graphs, photographs and exhibits included in this report are for illustration purposes only and are to be utilized only to assist in visualizing matters discussed within this report. Except as specifically stated, data relative to size or area of the subject and comparable properties has been obtained from sources deemed accurate and reliable. None of the exhibits are to be removed, reproduced, or used apart from this report.
18. No opinion is intended to be expressed on matters which may require legal expertise or specialized investigation or knowledge beyond that customarily employed by real estate appraisers. Values and opinions expressed presume that environmental and other governmental restrictions/conditions by applicable agencies have been met, including but not limited to seismic hazards, flight patterns, decibel levels/noise envelopes, fire hazards, hillside ordinances, density, allowable uses, building codes, permits, licenses, etc. No survey, engineering study or architectural analysis has been made known to CBRE, Inc. unless otherwise stated within the body of this report. If the Consultant has not been supplied with a termite inspection, survey or occupancy permit, no responsibility or representation is assumed or made for any costs associated with obtaining same or for any deficiencies discovered before or after they are obtained. No representation or warranty is made concerning obtaining these items. CBRE, Inc. assumes no responsibility for any costs or consequences arising due to the need, or the lack of need, for flood hazard insurance. An agent for the Federal Flood Insurance Program should be contacted to determine the actual need for Flood Hazard Insurance.
19. Acceptance and/or use of this report constitutes full acceptance of the Contingent and Limiting Conditions and special assumptions set forth in this report. It is the responsibility of the Client, or client’s designees, to read in full, comprehend and thus become aware of the aforementioned contingencies and limiting conditions. Neither the Appraiser nor CBRE, Inc. assumes responsibility for any situation arising out of the Client’s failure to become familiar with and understand the same. The Client is advised to retain experts in areas that fall outside the scope of the real estate appraisal/consulting profession if so desired.
20. CBRE, Inc. assumes that the subject analyzed herein will be under prudent and competent management and ownership; neither inefficient or super-efficient.
21. It is assumed that there is full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations and laws unless noncompliance is stated, defined and considered in the appraisal report.
22. No survey of the boundaries of the property was undertaken. All areas and dimensions furnished are presumed to be correct. It is further assumed that no encroachments to the realty exist.
23. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. Notwithstanding any discussion of possible readily achievable barrier removal construction items in this report, CBRE, Inc. has not made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether it is in conformance 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 of the ADA could reveal that the property is not in compliance with one or more of the requirements of the ADA. If so, this fact could have a negative effect on the value estimated herein. Since CBRE, Inc. has no specific information relating to this issue, nor is CBRE, Inc. qualified to make such an assessment, the effect of any possible non-compliance with the requirements of the ADA was not considered in estimating the value of the subject.
24. Client shall not indemnify Appraiser or hold Appraiser harmless unless and only to the extent that the Client misrepresents, distorts, or provides incomplete or inaccurate appraisal results to others, which acts of the Client approximately result in damage to Appraiser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Appraiser shall have no obligation under this Section with respect to any loss that is caused solely by the active negligence or willful misconduct of a Client and is not contributed to by any act or omission (including any failure to perform any duty imposed by law) by Appraiser. Client shall indemnify and hold Appraiser harmless from any claims, expenses, judgments or other items or costs arising as a result of the Client's failure or the failure of any of the Client's agents to provide a complete copy of the appraisal report to any third party. In the event of any litigation between the parties, the prevailing party to such litigation shall be entitled to recover, from the other, reasonable attorney fees and costs.

The building will include a below-grade garage with approximately 57 spaces, a fitness center, rooftop terrace, 9 to 10 foot ceilings, and 7,000 square feet of ground floor retail space. The building is expected to achieve LEED Gold certification. Rental rates are projected in the low $50's NNN. The building is expected to deliver 3rd Qtr 2014. The transaction represents the recapitalization of the ownership structure. ASB Real Estate Investments purchased Rockpoint Group's stake in the property. MRP Realty is maintaining their stake in the property. The property previously sold in March 2010 for $21,000,000. The building was 79.5% leased at the time.

CommentsThis is the current 83,157 square foot office building that is owned by the National Restaurant Association. It had been under contract since January 2011 and sold to a joint venture between First Potomac Realty Trust and Akridge. The buyers are pursuing a zoning change to C-4 which would allow a 10 FAR. Obtaining the new zoning is not considered a hurdle due to the zoning on the rest of the block and at nearby buildings. The seller will likely lease back the building for about 5 months after the sale closes and before they move. The purchaser plans to demolish the building as soon as the tenant moves out, which is estimated at $4 to $5 PSF of existing building. A 170,000 square foot office building is planned. Pro forma rental rates are $52 NNN.

CommentsThis comparable represents the assemblage of 15 lots from four owners (transferred on four deeds) of approximately 285,000 SF in density for office development in the District of Columbia's East End submarket. The buyer, the Association of American Medical Colleges, will reportedly develop the site for a future headquarters. The site features a corner location and good frontage and visibility. The site is currently occupied by several storefront retail buildings. The property owner has sufficient CLDs to allow for a 100% commercial development. The CLDs have already been acquired, requring no adjustment. We have estimated demolition costs at $100,000 and included the cost in the adjusted sale price.

CommentsThis building is located across an intersection from the Metro Center metro station. Union Pacific moved from a nearby building in late 2012. The property underwent renovations in 2012. The property was marketed by Eastdil Secured and received multiple offers. Planned elevator modernization costs of $1,500,000 were added to the sale price. Additionally, estimated lease up costs of $13,500,000, which represents TIs, LCs, and rent loss from downtime were added. The indicated financials are based on year 2 stabilized estimates. Year 3 estimates have been reported to reflect a low 5.0% yield, but this assumed no stabilized vacancy rate, understated management fee, and more aggressive rent growth. There is nominal lease expiration until 2023 when 36% of the space expires, primarily due to the expiration of Perkins Cole, LLP.

CommentsThis property consists of a 171,171 square foot class A office building that delivered in 2011. The building is LEED Gold certified and is within one block of the Metro Center station. The property consists of 12 parcels. Most of these parcels are vertical air rights parcels that consist of each floor of the building as the building is built above a church. The church consists of a portion of the ground floor and all of the second floor and was developed as part of the subject improvements. The church is owned by a separate entity. The leases signed in 2012 had significant tenant improvement allowances; however, the amount was not disclosed. The lease signed in June 2014 was lower level space, which rents at a discount to above-grade space.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYPRE-DESIGN BUILDING EVALUATION
PAGE | 3FINAL REPORT
GDG and its professional project team prepared a first draft Pre-Design Building Evaluation of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library during the period of August 6 - September 20, 2013. The document was subsequently reviewed, edited, and finalized during the period of September 21-December 9, 2013.
The intent of this study is to provide the references needed to gain a firm understanding of the existing conditions and challenges associated with the MLK Jr. Memorial Library building and its possible renovation and expansion.
The geotechnical study in the report is based on existing foundation and soil data. The study indicates that two types of foundations were used for building support: mat foundation and piles. A 6ft thick concrete mat foundation was used for the Mechanical Level while piles with 120 kip capacity were used under Level B.
The report includes a detailed assessment of the building’s structure. The structural system was examined and evaluated per the information obtained from the original structural design drawings and the visual survey of the building. The evaluation was intended to determine the building’s general physical conditions and its ability to support future additional stories above the existing structure.
The building has been found to be generally structurally sound and in good condition but numerous water related defects were observed during the inspection. The study includes findings and recommendations to avoid further damage.
According to available information the initial building design included a 150 psf allowance for an additional library floor. The combined geotechnical and structural evaluation conclude that two additional floors of apartments and/or offices may possibly be added without any modifi-cation of foundations as long as the library’s fourth floor continues to be used for offices and that the final loading does not exceed the initial design load.
If future loads were to exceed the maximum design column loads, new piles and structural modifications will be required to support the additional loads.
The building study includes the evaluation of the waterproofing system, which includes the roof, exterior above ground sealants, and below ground waterproofing.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

MLK LIBRARY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARYPRE-DESIGN BUILDING EVALUATION
PAGE | 4FINAL REPORT
The main building roof is a multi-ply modified bitumen with gravel ballast. There are four mechanical penthouses above the main roof with the same type of roofing. The main roof and penthouses have gravel stops with aluminum flashing. Screen walls have been installed on the roof and are anchored to the building system. Some flashing and roof conditions are in need of urgent attention.
The building was erected with three levels below grade. The below grade levels have con-crete walls which were waterproofed during the original construction 43 years ago. Some leaks were observed in various locations and need to be addressed to avoid further damage.
The exterior façades of the building consist of a custom metal curtain wall with large glazed window sections and pronounced mullions. There is visable discoloration and corrosion of the surface of the metal curtain wall and mullions. The damage is most visible when it is raining. The glazing is set in gasket frames that are caulked at the joints where the glazing meets with the framing. Much of the caulking has hardened and is contributing to an increase in the num-ber of broken glass panes. Both conditions require immediate attention. The building’s main electrical system is functional but primarily consists of the original instal-lation. It is in a general state of disrepair and various age related defects, damaged compo-nents, and non-code compliant conditions need to be addressed. During the inspection, one of the high-voltage transformers was found to be leaking.
Both the high and low voltage distribution systems are operational. An extensive infrared power survey did not detect major power anomalies but the building’s electrical system is far beyond its normal life cycle. Several items identified in the report need to be checked and remedied as soon as possible. The system as whole should be replaced in the context of a major renovation. The current fire prevention system is limited and consists of few visual and audible alarms. A new system that was installed a few years ago provides partial additional coverage through the building. The system includes a few new pull stations dispersed throughout the building, along with old pull stations that are reported to be inoperable. As a whole, the current devices do not meet code requirements.
Substantial tests and upgrades are needed to bring the fire prevention system up to code and to give the library effective and code-compliant coverage throughout. In the context of a major renovation and expansion the system would need to be fully overhauled.
The sprinkler system is limited to the garage area, boiler room, trash room, and lobby. The balance of the structure is protected by a stand pipe system. A major renovation would initiate the need to have the entire building sprinklered.
Cooling is supplied by two Trane centrifugal chillers. The chillers are cooled by a multiple cell cooling tower located on the roof. The cooling tower and its related pumps have some signifi-cant useful life. The chillers, however, are approaching the end of their useful life.
Heating is provided by the GSA’s steam system that services many federal and DC buildings. The steam is piped to fan coil units and heat exchangers which convert the energy to hot water which is then circulated to the perimeter of the building under the glazing and supplied by baseboard convector units. The system has undergone various uneven modifications over the years.

There are four main air handling units dividing the building into four main zones. Each air han-dling unit has both cooling and heating coils. The air handling units have had their air control surfaces manually bypassed or disconnected. The fans are beyond their useful life.
Air distribution is from the lower level through shafts to each floor. Maintenance functions such as duct cleanings have left fire dampers inoperative in both open and closed positions.The original automatic temperature control system was initially pneumatic and is currently in very limited operation. The system was partially abandoned and is now mostly controlled on a manual basis by the engineering staff.
The elevator machine rooms in the penthouse were originally cooled by ventilation fans. Since the elevator controls became electronic, refrigeration systems were added. Many of the ventilation and exhaust fans are in disrepair, and many of the refrigeration cooling systems are inoperable.
Toilet exhaust and other ventilation systems are handled by dedicated exhaust fans, and sev-eral of these fans are in various states of disrepair.
Considering that a major renovation would not take place before three to four years these items need to be addressed as soon as possible.
Domestic water is supplied to the building in the basement mechanical room via 6” iron piping connecting to a duplex city water booster pump station. Hot water primarily used in the restrooms is produced by means of two free standing electric hot water heaters. The first floor does not have any staff or public restrooms. Restrooms on the other floors are generally antiquated and not ADA compliant. The entire system is in need of being overhauled.
Sanitation piping throughout the building is original cast iron piping of various sizing. Some of the piping has been repaired with PVC schedule 40 piping. There are two sanitation receiver tanks with two sewage ejector pumps at each station. Two sump pump stations are also locat-ed in the boiler room to collect rain water and ground water from lower areas and pipe it out of the structure. During the inspection, one of the pumps was reported to be inoperable.The environmental inspection included a Hazmat survey and a Phase I environmental site assessment. The Hazmat survey was intended to identify both friable and non-friable asbes-tos-containing materials (ACMs), lead-based paint (LBP) Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), elevated fungal spore levels, and mercury containing fluorescent light tubes.
During the inspection for asbestos containing materials the inspectors collected a total of (243) suspected building material bulk samples for asbestos. A total of (41) samples tested positive. Although limited in scope the asbestos survey covered about 90% of the building’s readily-accessible areas.
The inspection for lead-based paint included a total of three hundred twenty nine (329) XRF readings of painted building components. One hundred forty seven (147) of the readings gave a positive result for lead based paint (LBP).
The study also included testing for Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that were commonly used as insulating and cooling fluids in electrical equipment. The (13) collected samples did not test positive.

During the inspection for fungal spores a total of twelve (12) air samples and an additional five (5) bulk vacuum or swab samples were collected. The laboratory results revealed that at least one sample had elevated mold spore levels greater than the comparable outdoor levels.
The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was intended to identify Recognized Envi-ronmental Concerns (REC) in connection with the site through a site visit, interviews, and the review of ascertainable regulatory and historical documentation. The assessment finds that a possible heating oil leak and historic dry cleaners that once occupied the site may be RECs in connection with the MLK Library Buiding. The Phase I assessment therefore recommends the performance of a Phase II ESA which would include the advancement of soil borings, and the collection and analysis of groundwater and soil samples to further evaluate identified RECs.
The Hazmat survey and Phase I ESA conclude that in the context of a major renovation the building will need to be fully abated prior to construction.
The title search included a 60-year search and did not uncover any liens, easements, cov-enants, conditions and restrictions, etc. that affect the MLK Jr. Memorial Library property. The boundary and topography survey was also consistent with the 1968 building plans.
In 1970 the library’s lot lost 3.08’ along its Westside boundary to widen the public alley along its west boundary from 15’ to 18.08’. When the public alley was closed in 2007 it was subse-quently divided (as required) into two 9.04’ wide lots: lot 831 and 832.
The property (lot 823) on the west side of the MLK Library was merged with “its” half of the alley (lot 831) and became the new combined lot 127. The library (lot 825) should have also been merged with “its” alley half of the alley (lot 832) but there is no record of such a merger and the two lots therefore remain as separate properties. Although the District owns the two adjoining lots (825 and 832) it would be preferable to have two lots merged prior to proceed-ing with the library’s expansion plans
