Strengths Regional location between two major employment cores - Downtown and the airport, 31 contiguous acres with fairly flat topography, over 2,000 feet of frontage on the planned SW segment of the BeltLine,

average parcel depths of 600', and strong access off I-75/85 with an over 260,000 average annual daily traffic (AADT) count. An existing

signalized intersection, 13,500 AADT on University Avenue, and proximity to the Metropolitan Parkway corridor. Limited quality retail in

the area, and a largely stable/recovering household base combined with proximity to southern Grant Park - a strong, emerging

neighborhood. Also additional demand sources in Atlanta Tech College / Metropolitan Univ., Aaron's amphitheatre, and local employees.

Challenges Very low household incomes in Pittsburg and some surrounding neighborhoods.

Concentration of underutilized and blighted properties nearby, including within the

subject site approach from the interstate. Lack of private sector investment in the area. Opportunities

Leverage the moderate income household base in the larger trade area, along with the emerging and migrating affluent households

from Grant Park through the unique BeltLine/Interstate site to deliver

convenience retail in a more easily accessible, and potentially higher quality

environment then where they currently shop.

Defining the Local Trade Area

SOURCE: Noell Consulting Group, Google Earth, Walkscore.com

After interviewing proprietors and retail brokers in the South Atlanta market, along with examining distances between existing national chains such as Kroger , Save-a-Lot, and

Family Dollar stores, we defined a local retail trade area that is approximately 0.75 miles in radius (5-10 minute drive), but is adjusted based on natural market boundaries such as the

interstate and the river. The resulting local trade area can be seen on the next exhibit.

Existing Retail Cores Within the Trade Area

SOURCE: Noell Consulting Group, Google Earth, Walkscore.com, US Census

Crossroads Shopping Center A dying 1960's mall plagued with no anchor, high small shop vacancies,

loitering, perception and actual crime, and challenged interstate access.

Current tenants include Family Dollar with an adjacent Save-a-Lot, a local gym, and several discount clothing

stores. Outparcels include McDonald's, Wendy's, Captain D's, and Popeyes.

Competing Retail Centers Outside of Trade Area Receiving Leakage

Edgewood Retail District 600,000 SF built in 2005 Features: Kroger, Target,

Lowe's, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Bed, Bath, & Beyond,

Ross, Office Depot and approximately 57,000sf of small shops. Also has condominiums

and adjacent townhomes, apartments, and senior

housing.

Main destination, particularly for the more affluent HHs. Variety of shops, quality environment. Parking congestion and traffic

on Moreland an issue.

Village Creek Shopping Plaza & Ripplewater Commons

A 50,000 SF Kroger (Kroger owned), plus approximately

20,000 SF of shadow anchored space. Tenants include Burger

King, Payless Shoes, Chase bank, AmericanDeli, Pizza Hut, metroPCS, a nail salon, barber, cleaners, and Chinese carry-out

rest.

Cleveland Avenue Core Kroger, CVS, Walgreens, Family Dollar, Big Lots, Athletes Foot, Rainbow, Dollar Tree, planned

Exhibit 18

Potential Development Site Plan

SOURCE: Noell Consulting Group, Google Earth.

This program leaves approximately 12 acres including

most of the unique remaining structure on the site for

community/cultural enhancing uses.

There is potential to leverage the retail demand for grocery and or

specialty food, foregoing the conventional tenant/operators, and attempt to create a unique

farmers market or co-op experience. Such an innovative

concept would benefit from placement within an adaptive re-

use of the existing structure. More on this on the following exhibit.

A key component of the site is the future connection to the BeltLine. We believe the

market will require the retail component to be in a fairly typical surface parked suburban format, however if possible connections and potential

dual entrances should be planned for the grocery and limited-service restaurants on to

the BeltLine. Perhaps the addition of rear patio spaces off the restaurants adjacent to the

BeltLine.

We estimate the 120,000 SF of supportable retail will take up 12 acres of the site. Without either hard corner (on Metropolitan or I-75/85) we recommend the retail component be placed at the mid point of the site with primary ingress/egress from the existing signalized

intersection at McDaniel Street. With challenged market economics the development will likely need to take on a

fairly typical suburban format.

xxxxx

One of the greatest barriers to enticing private development to build conventional retail on the site will be the adjacent

unsightly uses across University Avenue and in the approach off I-75/85. Additionally the parcels between the subject site

and I-75/85 represent a prime opportunity to drastically increase the subject site's visibility through signage. We recommended targeted acquisition of both when feasible.

***A Key Note About Grocery Anchored Centers Retail sales are driven by patron traffic to the center.

With less than ideal traffic counts along University Avenue an anchor tenant capable of drawing in patrons is an important component of capturing this traffic. In

the above example the grocery store is the anchor and will be the primary draw for patron traffic to the

development. Grocery stores understand they are the anchors/drivers and as such (along with their larger

footprint) get the lowest lease rates resulting in very little owner profit margin on their space. Given this, it is

critical that any grocery store (loss leader anchor) be accompanied with a minimum of 20,000 SF of small

shop space in which for the owner to make their profit margin on.

Site Layout

4/30/2014

RW VENTURES


Exhibit 19

Market Concept


There is potential that the grocery store demand could be met in a non-traditional layout such as an open or partially open air market and/or regional indoor farmers market (such as DeKalb

Farmer's Market). The challenge however to such a non-traditional layout is the lack of operators for such in the Atlanta

market. Examples exist for temporary or weekend pop-up outdoor market operators, but only two operators exist for more permanent, full-time concepts - the State and DeKalb Farmer's Market. Getting either of these operators on this site is unlikely given their existing facilities and DeKalb's planned expansion.
