We will achieve our vision through the extension of the Urban Operation beyond the initially proposed dimension to allow for incremental development rights to extend to larger floor plate development sites that abut. This will also empower us to preserve the air rights over the cap for a pedestrian scale tourist hub that will catalyze the rebranding of the Centro. Before breaking ground we will purchase the GFA equivalent of 289,000 square meters of CEPACs for a total price of R$661MM. We expect that the proceeds of the CEPACs will fund the construction of the cap and that we will retain a long-term ground lease on the air rights over the cap at a nominal rate in exchange for agreeing to maintain the cap area. In addition, we will agree to fund within our project the cost of a 4,500-space underground parking structure and new roads, the latter of which will be dedicated back to the City upon completion for maintenance. In addition, we will purchase the entirety of the assembled parcel along the escarpment and any other land the City acquires for R$9,375 per square meter, and will partner with the City to assist in the assembly of land parcels not currently under control. We commit to purchasing any land additionally assembled by the city for 125% of the cost of the fair market value paid in conjunction with their exercising of eminent domain power. The city will also benefit from a huge boost to the property tax base in conjunction with our development project.

Subsequent phases will include a semi-private luxury condominium district, three hotels across the spectrum of service segments, the tallest Class A office tower in the City, and additional retail, conference and civic assets. The plan will leverage the substantial infrastructure investment in the highway cap and centralized underground parking structure to provide new pedestrian and vehicular connectivity across the Ahangabau Valley. Anchoring the site, the Instituto Brasilidade and adjacent Restaurant Row will become a celebration of Brasilian culture, driving domestic and international tourism to the site.

Program

The Centro Velho neighborhood in Sao Paulo is a grossly underutilized urban asset that suffers from the perception of crime, a lack of activity at night, and the eight-lane highway that divides it. Centro Brasilidade is an innovative multi-phased, mixed-use project that will transform Centro Velho into the pride of Sao Paulo. Our culturally themed master plan will catalyze the re-imagination of Centro, bringing twenty-four hour vibrancy back to the city’s origins. This will be accomplished through a deliberate, but flexible phasing plan which will initially bring Class A and small business offices, workforce condos and destination retail to historic Praca Sao Bento, the front door of our new diverse neighborhood.

RETAIL DIAGRAM Centro Brasilidade benefits from a proven retail scheme: the dumbell anchor. At either end of the site are destination indoor retail shopping malls that will capitalize on the foot traffic from both viaducts and the Sao Bento metro station. Connecting these two anchors is Restaurant Row, which will serve as the outdoor “food court� between each anchor. The northern vertical mall will also benefit from being in the tallest office building in Sao Paulo and the associated tourist and business related foot traffic. The diagram is further supported by a centrally located 4,500 space underground parking structure with dedicated spaces at a parking ratio of 2 spaces per 100 sq. meters. During peak hours spill over parking will be available via shared parking for the entire site. This parking can be accessed directly from the highway from the north and the south as well as at the cap level. A limited amount of in-line neighborhood service retail surrounds the residential district, which is anchored by a 1,000 sq. meter urban grocery store.

Appendix Strategy Financial Development Program

The new cap over the recessed highway serves to not only take highway traffic out of the pedestrian urban environment, but also becomes the canvas for driving traffic to the site. At the north end, the Instituto Brasilidade will house the history and latest innovations in Brasilian music, art, dance and sport. The Instituto will be thematically zoned to allow guests to focus on what interests them most. Tourists that come to the Instiuto will buy souvenirs in our retail stores and meals on Restaurant Row. Office workers and residents will enjoy the vibrancy and “eyes on the street� that this anchor will bring. At the south end of the cap is an urban park complete with health club facilites. T+++his space will also play host to outdoor sporting events year round. The 5,100 sq. meters of space is perfectly sized to accomodate a wide array of showcase style tournaments including beach volleyball, futsal, wave machine driven surf competitions and tennis. These flexible and rotating events will offer a one-of-a-kind urban experience where the city becomes the stadium, taking advantage of the favorable climate and prime temporary bleacher seating on the viaduct. The cultural and sports districts will provide intrigue for a wide array of people making Centro Brasilidade an international tourist destination.

SUN SHADE DIAGRAM Sao Paulo enjoys one of the best climates in the world making outdoor opportunities desirable on the site. However, the afternoon sun in the city can be overwhelming. Our plan includes the tallest office building in Sao Paulo at the north end of the site in part to provide afternoon shading over the majority of the cap for visitors to enjoy. We intentionally left the south end of the cap unencumbered to allow the morning sun to permeate and warm the site on cool mornings. With deliberate urban design we are able to achieve a naturally temperate public realm ensuring that visitors to the site are encouraged to stay all day long, spending money as the hours pass.

OFFICE MARKET ANALYSIS According to market research provided by our office market consultants, the Centro submarket is particularly supply constrained and has not seen any new office product delivered since the late 1970s. In the last decade, office supply has been concentrated in Faria Lima and the Marginal, while existing product in Centro has continued to depreciate. Most recently, the supply of Class A office space in Sao Paulo has exploded in the submarket of Berrini, comprising almost 90% of recent deliveries. Although Centro and other Downtown submarkets still contain the most office space relative to other CBDs in Sao Paulo at 362,400 square meters, many of the buildings are in severe disrepair, with zero Class A product in the submarket. Overall market occupancy in the Centro submarket stands at a City high of 96.7%, but asking rents are by far the lowest of any CBD at R$720 per square meter annually. The low vacancy rate suggests that the Centro submarket could stand to absorb a significant increase in supply, but rent levels call into question whether Class A office tenants would be interested in this location given the current market dynamics. Excellent public transit and auto access to the site makes Centro particularly attractive for office space, with the current image and lack of prestige representing the biggest hindrance to office demand.

34


Appendix Financial Development Program

FACHADA, Sao Paulo

Vision

Based on our market research we believe that the office asset class is the overall highest and best use for the site as it achieves the highest stabilized yield on cost accompanied with robust market demand. We plan to build six office buildings on the site totaling almost 230,000 square meters, comprising almost half of the total program. We will strategically bring buildings online in accordance with our phasing plan to ensure that we are never bringing more supply than market absorption can handle. The broader market is currently absorbing 180,000 square meters annually, with new buildings accounting for the majority of absorption as tenants flock to Class A product. We will deliver 96,000 and 43,000 square meters respectively in each of our first two phases, which we plan to lease up over four year period, requiring us to capture less than 20% of total market demand when delivered. As Class A office demand continues to grow in this emerging economy, absorption should increase, bringing down our assumed capture rate.

Strategy

35


HOTEL MARKET ANALYSIS According to our hotel market analyst, the Centro submarket currently underperforms all other CBD’s in Average Daily Room Rate (ADR) and is near the bottom in average annual occupancy at R$190 and 64% respectively. On the bright side, there has not been a new hotel built in the entire city of Sao Paulo since 2002 and there are some significant near term demand drivers on the horizon including the World Cup and Olympics. In addition, domestic tourism has doubled in the last ten years with the rise of the middle class. Sao Paulo, specifically the historic downtown, stands to gain significantly from this demand growth. With little competition from national or international brands in the submarket, we see a significant market opportunity in this asset class, especially for a tourism and office focused redevelopment strategy such as ours.

HOTEL UNIQUE, Sao Paulo

Financial

Strategy

We are proposing a total of 1,631 hotel keys in three different hotels, each in a prominent location on the site. We will provide a luxury boutique hotel, which will also serve as the gateway to the escarpment cliff walk, an upscale hotel, which will also have a limited number of corporate apartments and an upper midscale hotel with 5,000 square meters of conference/meeting space adjacent to the tallest office building in Sao Paulo. This variety in scale will accommodate the different price points and service levels the users of the site will demand. Two will serve critical functions as quasi public space integrating the escarpment level to the valley cap while offering direct access into the central underground parking structure. We have also considered hotel absorption in our phasing strategy to ensure financial success. All hotels will see mid-week demand from a significant amount of business travelers, while the cultural anchor and sporting events throughout the year will drive weekend and holiday tourist traffic.

RESIDENTIAL MARKET ANALYSIS According to our residential market analyst, the residential market in Sao Paulo is predominately condo ownership, which is largely driven by the lengthy eviction process and long history of extremely high inflation. These factors have reduced the rental housing segment to merely 15% of the overall market. The condo market in the City has been absorbing an average of 30,000 units per year for the past several years with units delivered falling roughly in line with units sold. In 2011, units sold dropped off significantly while supply remained constant suggesting a softening in the market, likely driven by the rapid increase in asset prices over the past couple years as capital markets have become more sophisticated with the attraction of international capital. The Centro submarket lacks a critical mass of residential units and has seen only 645 units come on line in the last 24 months. The submarket suffers from a significant image problem given the lack of evening activity and nearby drug activity. A strong residential population is an important factor to getting more people with a vested interest in the Centro submarket, but the current image of the neighborhood has depressed demand for housing in this area. The existing transportation and service assets in the neighborhood make this particularly attractive for residential, provided that it is done in conjunction with a transformational project such as Centro Brasilidade.

38


Appendix Strategy Financial Development Program

We are proposing 142,500 square meters of residential development. This will include 1,200 condo units in six distinct buildings and 334 short-term corporate apartments on the upper levels of our upscale hotel adjacent to the new modern viaduct. The condo units will be a mix of midrise (artist lofts), hi-rise (luxury) and single loaded corridor (workforce and young professional) units in two distinct residential districts. The hi-rise luxury condos will be concentrated along the escarpment in a semi-private enclave above the centralized parking structure. These 648 units will be priced at an average of R$700,000 given the premier location overlooking the Anhangabau Valley with great proximity to public transit, world class restaurants and high-end shopping and services. The Artist lofts will be located on the west side of the valley adjacent to the cultural activity and restaurant row along the new highway cap. These artist lofts will sell for an average price of R$500,000 per unit. It is expected that the artist lofts will be absorbed at a rate of 50 units per month given this population’s interest in the cultural and architectural character of the existing neighborhood. We anticipate that the luxury units will be absorbed at an average rate of 30 units per month given the need to change the image of the neighborhood to attract the target population here. We have assumed a low occupancy on the short-term corporate apartments, given the target market for these will be more transient, but we believe this product will fill a particular need for corporate Joaomoura 1144, Sao Paulo, Brasil executives that wish to have a residence close to work, but prefer to have a permanent residence in the suburbs. We envision this as an an option for executives who wish to avoid driving in traffic every day of the week, but are not wealthy enough to own a helicopter. The rental hotel structure also allows us to circumvent onerous eviction laws and protects against inflation dilution as rents can be modified from month-to-month.

Vision

RETAIL MARKET ANALYSIS According to our retail market analyst, the competitive landscape within the Centro submarket for retail is one of focused districts by product type. Although this type of retailer agglomeration can give people a great comparative shopping experience, which can lead to a high level of customer satisfaction, this is not suitable for a cultural based tourist district. The rise of the middle class in Brasil coupled with increased urbanization has also contributed to the demand for urban destination retail. The submarket enjoys incredible transit and vehicular access with total daily transit rides from the five area metro stations exceeding 800,000. Occupancy for retail in the submarket is close to 100%, but rents vary widely (from R$100 1,300 per sq. meter annually) given the lack of modern retail product types ranging from inefficient street level in-line retail to small shopping centers called Galerias Comerciais, which both offer local brands at mid-level prices.

Strategy

We are proposing 46,000 square meters of retail, most of which will be found in two destination retail shopping malls, anchoring each end of the site. In addition we are proposing a limited amount of in-line street level retail along key traffic corridors. There are zero comparables in the submarket for this type of destination retail, so we are relying largely on similar products found in other CBDs to come up with our performance assumptions. In-line retail assumptions are shown at a slight premium to submarket comparables given the expected influence of the site repositioning. We believe there is significant unmet demand in this submarket for high-end retail if we are successful in changing the image of Centro. A diverse mix of uses, our strong cultural anchor and connectivity to the west of the site via the cap and additional viaduct should allow us to capture significant upside in this asset class given the existing heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic in this area.

We propose to expand the proposed Urban Operation, which will allow us to take advantage of adjacent sites capable of supporting larger office floor plate currently sought after in the marketplace. This will allow us to maintain the highway cap as a pedestrian scale tourist destination while achieving a FAR in excess of 11. The density achieved also allows us to finance the up front infrastructure capital investments and CEPACs, the proceeds of which we expect will be used to fund the depression of the roadway and construction of a cap capable of supporting the tallest office building in Sao Paulo. We are in need of the GFA equivalent of 241,000 sm of CEPACS and are prepared to pay R$661,000,000 for the lot. With the cap cost currently estimated at R$250,000,000.

CULTURAL BUILDING TYPOLOGY INSTITUTO BRASILIDADE This civic form provides architectural interest in a distinct winged form. Three total levels of interactive exhibit space are organized thematically to allow for ease of access. An extension of the building meanders up to the new modern viaduct and becomes an artistic gateway reminding pedestrians of the vibrancy bubbling up at the cap level. This form also reinforces the building’s use as an embodiment of the improvisational spirit of the Brasilian people.

The intent of the Brasilidade Center for the Performing Arts is to create a world class music and theater venue to reinforce the new image of the Centro as a hub of Brasilian culture. This structure embodies in form the performances it will host by effortlessly wrapping the Mirante do Vale building to both enhance that building’s architectural appeal, but to also define the form as a unique place on the site.

FINANCING STRATEGY We intend to seek strategic GP joint venture relationships with asset class focused firms to ensure we are bringing the leaders in the world to the development of each use. Once we have identified the right JV partner for each use, we will use our network to collectively source LP investor equity capital Until the last decade, the Brasilian capital markets were fairly primitive given historic instability of the currency and financial markets. Recently, Brasil has garnered significant interest from international and domestic institutional investors seeking superior returns in this hot emerging market. Our financing strategy will seek to blend old methods of capital raising with new methods, taking the best of both worlds to optimize our overall cost of capital. RESIDENTIAL - For Residential Condo uses we will seek equity investment through the pre-sale of condos. We will not begin construction until 68

EXIT STRATEGY At Viaducto Development we invest for the long-term so we align ourselves with investors who prefer long-term cash flow versus a quick flip. As a result, our primary strategy is to hold the assets we control indefinitely enjoying stabilized cash flow overtime while preserving capital appreciation upside at the ultimate exit. We have intentionally master-planned the site to allow for a staggered exit by asset class. This will add flexibility to the exit, which will give us the opportunity to strategically sell assets at cycle peaks. This will also make the exit far more liquid as there are only a few firms in the world capable of acquiring the entire project in a single investment. Of course, if the right buyer comes along, we would consider an exit of the entire project, but this outcome is unlikely.

DEAL PROPOSAL 73


DEAL PROPOSAL Centro Brasilidade will bring tremendous civic value to the City of Sao Paulo, but it will also bring significant financial benefits. We have worked to create a balanced plan that respects the architectural context and massing of the surrounding neighborhood while maximizing financial returns to the stakeholders through strategic land assembly and targeted densification. Using our innovative plan we are offering the following package to the City of Sao Paulo, which we feel is an extremely competitive partnership opportunity. s

We understand that exercising eminent domain may bring controversy. To ensure the absence of negative press, Viaducto Development will deliver an exceptionally generous land payment to land owners: 125% of market value for the land. Market value of the land was determined by an analysis of comparables from Paulista and utilizing a land residual method on the highest and best use. We look forward to this monumental partnership and the re-imagination of the Centro Velho. Together we can achieve a shared vision that will re-establish Centro Brasilidade as Sao Paulo’s primary CBD and a vibrant mixed-use urban habitat.
