The CCHFC board of directors is comprised of the members of the City Council of Corpus Christi, and the CCHFC operates under Chapter 394 of the Texas Local Government Code. 5 P a g e

Article II. SCOPE OF WORK SECTION 2.01 BACKGROUND The Site for the proposed redevelopment is located at 501-521 N. Chaparral Street, in the Central Business District of Downtown Corpus Christi. At the intersection of Peoples Street and Chaparral Street, the Site is one block from the white collar corporate employment center of uptown and the leisure recreation/boating center of the People s Street T-Head in the Marina. The greater downtown area revitalization is gaining momentum with $15 million of recently completed infrastructure/streetscape projects and new or planned projects due to be completed by 2020. The subject property is located in an area of historic buildings that contain apartments, restaurants, bars, retail and office space, though some are vacant. In addition, the subject property is close to modern office space and parking garages. In 2007, the City began efforts to redevelop the Site of the Montgomery Ward Building with a long term lease. After an extensive period of leasing and various efforts to redevelop the Site, the CCHFC finally purchased the Site from the original owners family in July 2014 in order to make it available for purchase and redevelopment. The Montgomery Ward Building is a 3-story Second Renaissance Revival building constructed in 1924, and the only remaining building on this Site, that was once fully developed. The remaining portions of the Site contain 36 covered parking spaces on a recently asphalted, gated lot. A longterm lease of the Ward Building and purchase of the adjacent property occurred in 2006 through the Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation (CCCIC) in order to construct a parking lot that facilitated the development of the Nueces Lofts apartments at the corner of Chaparral and Peoples Streets. The property subsequently was acquired by the CCHFC in order to allow the CCCIC to make other investments with its funds. The property now is surplus to the needs of the CCHFC and available for sale in a manner to further facilitate the redevelopment of this property and downtown Corpus Christi. As a result of a 2008 attempt to use federal funds for demolition of the Ward Building, the Texas Historical Commission notified the City that the Ward Building was eligible for Historic Designation and Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits (Exhibit B). Thus, the CCHFC and the Texas Historical Commission would look favorably on historic renovation. This is not a requirement of a Proposal for the Site redevelopment, as long as the Proposer does not attempt to use government funds for demolition. The CCHFC envisions the primary use as multi-family residential, and strongly encourages ground floor design and programming along Chaparral Street that encourages pedestrian connectivity, through inclusion of retail and/or other active uses. Recent market analysis indicates multifamily rental occupancy is over 95%, with an additional 2,000 units needed over each of the next five years to meet increasing demand. Retail vacancy in the Central Business District is approximately 6%, higher than other parts of the CCHFC. Corpus Christi has almost 30% more eating and drinking sales than expected from residential spending in a community its size, indicating is popularity as a leisure tourist destination. 6 P a g e

SECTION 2.02 LOCATION As mentioned above, the Site is located at the intersection of North Chaparral Street and Peoples Street. Its adjacent uses are: North Corpus Christi Business Center, 4-story Commercial Office Building East - Nueces Lofts, a 10-story Historic Designated Mixed Use (64 residential units) & Nine Level (951 Space Parking Garage) managed by Laz Parking South - Vacant Building For Sale & Cosmopolitan of Corpus Christi Under Construction ($24 million mixed-use project with 165 residential units and 3,800 sq. ft. of retail space) West - Asphalt Paved Parking Lot & Retail Buildings SECTION 2.03 PARCEL DESCRIPTION/CONDITION The Site consists of Lots 1-4, Block 11, Beach Portion. These are horizontal lots, but have been sub-platted in a different arrangement over the years. The addresses are 501-521 N. Chaparral Street, though some documents may refer to 540 N. Chaparral Street, which was at one time the number on record with the Nueces County Appraisal District database. Properties west on N. Chaparral Street are in fact, odd numbered. Re-platting will be required for the Site to have a single address. Parcels included in the Site are: Property ID Geographic ID Legal Description 191694 0540-0011-0010 BEACH LTS 1 & 2 BK 11 191695 0540-0011-0030 BEACH N70 OF E105 OF LTS 3 & 4 BK 11 191697 0540-0011-0035 BEACH S30 OF E105 OF LT 3 BK 11 191698 0540-0011-0040 Beach W45 OF LTS 3&4 BK 11 Lots 1, 2 and the western portion of Lots 3 & 4 contain 36 covered parking spaces, on a paved asphalt lot that was constructed in 2011. The parking lot is currently leased to Beach Center Corporation through 2017 for Nueces Loft tenants. The Lease can be terminated with a 60-day notice, however 36 additional parking spaces will need to be provided with any Proposal, as indicated in the Special Warranty Deed (Exhibit I). On the eastern portion of Lots 3 & 4 sits the Montgomery Ward Building, on a rectangular-shaped, fully developed tract of land of approximately 15,000 sq. ft. The building was originally used as the Montgomery Ward & Company Department Store, and was closed in 1969. The structure is Second Renaissance Revival masonry construction with an exterior of both unfinished and painted face brick. The building has two stairwells to all three floors as well as an elevator shaft which previously served all three floors. The mezzanine has two additional staircases leading up to the second floor. The southern wall of the first and second floors was once part of a common party wall with another building that has since been demolished. This portion now has steel frame partitioning with the exterior covered with painted plywood siding. The interior has steel beams and columns with a concrete cover of the floor areas. The roof has a steel joist roof system. The total gross building area is approximately 21,973 sq. ft. Distribution of this space is as follows: 1 st Floor approx 7,242 sq. ft. / 18 ft. clearance outside of the mezzanine area Mezzanine approx 2,900 sq. ft. / 8 ft. 4 in. clearance 2 nd Floor approx 7,379 sq. ft. / 11 ft. clearance 3 rd Floor approx 7,352 sq. ft. / 9 ft. clearance. 7 P a g e

As part of an overall renovation project, the property will need to meet current building codes. There will also be a need for an asbestos abatement. Additional information is available in Exhibit D- Structural Assessment Zoning is Downtown Commercial (CBD). Multifamily and upper story residential units within commercial business structures are the residential uses permitted. Additional commercial uses allowed can be found in the Unified Development Code 4.5 Commercial Districts SECTION 2.04 APPRAISED VALUE The most recent appraisal the CCHFC has for the property was conducted by Burbach and Associates Inc., Real Estate Appraisers and Consultants in June 2008 (Exhibit E). The report states the value of the Lots 3 & 4, including the building, is estimated at $645,000 fee simple. This is provided as guidance for Proposers. In additional, the most recent Nueces County Appraisal District valuation totals $445,150 for all four parcels. SECTION 2.05 DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES As indicated in the sections above, the CCHFC has identified this site as an important piece to our overall downtown redevelopment. The Proposal should meet the following objectives: Be a catalyst for Revitalization, adds to downtown momentum Addresses demand for High Density Multi-Family Residential Units Maximizes location at North Chaparral Street & Peoples Street, utilizes entire parcel Enhances the historic cultural fabric of downtown Corpus Christi with rehabilitation of Montgomery Ward Building or demolition and construction with distinctive character Incorporates innovative and sustainable urban design principles, green building design strategies and other industry best practices Active storefront uses; increases pedestrian oriented activity, pedestrian friendly design and innovative parking solutions SECTION 2.06 DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES The CCHFC is interested in assisting in the redevelopment of the Site, as it is integral to the fabric of the downtown. While the proposed purchase price for the property will be a significant factor in the evaluation of proposals, the CCHFC may consider providing as a grant a portion of the value of the property in order to assist in a desirable development. The CCHFC requests that Proposers identify any proposed contribution that will be requested from the CCHFC, and acknowledge that formal and specific incentive amounts are unlikely until a final design is selected. The CCHFC will consider the use of incentives if there is a demonstrated need to make a project feasible. The following are examples of incentives that the Proposer may utilize in the development of a Proposal and Project Costs: Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit, (20% Rehab Costs) State Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit (Franchise Credits, 25% Rehab Costs) Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Financing 8 P a g e

Administrative Re-platting (Private survey & recording costs not included) Façade Improvement Grant Additionally, the City of Corpus Christi has indicated the importance of Chaparral Street in the revitalization of Downtown by making investments in public infrastructure. In 2008, voters approved $4.8 million for the two block portion from William Street to Schatzell Street. On November 4, 2014, voters approved an additional $5 million for the next three blocks of Chaparral, from Schatzell Street to Taylor Street. The 2014 Chaparral Streetscape Improvements project will continue the two-way design of the street and add new curbs, widened sidewalks, lighting and landscaping improvements.
