TAB 2 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Financial Information Over the past 30 years, The Vestcor Companies (Vestcor), or affiliates of Vestcor, have procured and participated in excess of $200,000,000 of equity used to acquire, renovate, develop and operate multifamily communities. Throughout this period, Vestcor has built strong relationships with financial institutions and individuals who have invested in these communities. These relationships have enabled Vestcor to raise private funds necessary to develop the residence hall at Florida Polytechnic University.
Attached are the audited financial statements of Vestcor Communities, Inc. (VCI), the Proposer for this RFSOQ. VCI is the student housing development entity for Vestcor. VCI earns development fees during the development process and earns asset management fees during operation of the community. Vestcor also has several other entities, like VCI, that are involved in development, brokerage, and management in other real estate areas. All apartment communities developed by VCI and other Vestcor affiliates are owned in individual limited partnerships. There are currently twenty-five such partnerships, and an affiliate of Vestcor controls and has a significant financial interest in these partnerships. While VCI and other Vestcor affiliated entities similar to VCI are expected to generate a positive cash flow, all of the value and cash flow of the apartment communities for Vestcor is in the limited partnerships. It is not the regular practice of Vestcor to combine the balance sheets, operations, and cash flows of all the Vestcor related entities with footnotes and due to the time constraints of the RFSOQ, we were not able to provide this combination. However, a summary of the estimated fair market value of the assets and equity, revenue, net operating income, and cash flow of the twenty-five affiliated partnerships that own the apartment communities is as follows:
Fair Market Value of Assets: $325,000,000 Equity: $52,000,000 Revenue: $44,000,000 Net Operating Income: $20,000,000 Cash Flow: $6,000,000

Skanska USA Building Overview
Page 18 of 74
Unique Skanska AdvantagesSkanska o!ers a broad array of relevant University housing experience, a high performing team that is already intimately familiar with the unique characteristics of the project site, and a project management/design management platform that optimizes value throughout the delivery of the facility.
Our team has been involved with the development and building of the Phase 1 Classroom facility since early in design, and our “collaborative experts” approach has been key to delivering the design intent and programming goals within the framework of the original budget. We have a culture of mutual accountability and respect for all team members, with the objective of delivering on all of the goals of the client. We will continue this same approach on the delivery of this most important project that will support the development of the campus and the student experience. Our familiarity with the master plan goals and our experience on the classroom building – especially as it relates to driving value into the process of delivering the design – puts us in a unique position to be able to carry forward all of this knowledge to our development partners and bring to fruition the right solution for this very important "rst phase of the housing program for the University.
Our team’s unique knowledge, which will enable us to seamlessly deliver the project by early August, 2014, includes:
Understanding of the subsoil conditions and the rami"cations on design, cost and schedule.
Understanding of the in place-utilities. Our team installed all of them including site gas, TECO electric, Brighthouse and Verizon phone and internet services.
Understanding of permitting agencies- we know our SWFWMD person, we know the City of Lakeland permitting authorities and inspectors, we know the Fire Marshall, and most importantly, we have a very close working relationship with Tom Browning, FPU’s Authority that has jurisdiction over the site.
Understanding of adjacent property- we have a close relationship with Williams Company, the owner of the majority of the surrounding property.
Established working relationship with the civil engineers of record, Anderson Lane and Chastain Skillman (who also performed all site surveying and layout).
Understanding of site access- we developed and execute all logistics plans.
Control of the Site: It is not e#cient for another contractor to be on site working in an area that we control and that has to be "nished as part of our contract. We can better control the use of the housing site and its associated logistical issues, including laydown, parking, work areas, etc. $is is especially important on this project because of the extreme schedule constraints and probable necessity for shi% work.
Subcontractor E#ciency: It will be possible to achieve best value pricing from the subcontractors that are already on site by taking advantage of supervision, other general conditions costs and equipment (i.e. site subcontractor, for example).
General Conditions costs will be minimized because we are already established on site. A new contractor coming onto the job will have to mobilize from scratch.
Overall risk, cost, quality and schedule will be better optimized by our existing team, which has already demonstrated the ability to manage and deliver a complex project with mostly local subcontractors, suppliers and labor.

Florida Polytechnic University - Development of Residential Housing Relevant Experience Page 19 of 74
Established in 1997, Ambling Management Company (AMC) is one of the nation's most successful and experienced managers of student housing communities. AMC offers a proven track record and invaluable experience in the student housing industry having directed more than 100 new construction lease-ups across the country in a wide vari-ety of project sizes, university settings and market conditions. Their current portfolio consists of 31 student housing properties in 17 states comprising nearly 19,000 beds in addition to 154 market rate and affordable properties comprising 13,040 units in seven states, totaling 185 properties. These properties represent 33 universities and more than 70 owners across 19 states - all supported by over 900 employees.
Every decision, every strategy, every working moment is centered around two funda-mental questions. How can we increase NOI? And how can we enhance the value of the asset? We take a hands-on, entrepreneurial approach, utilizing the broad range of tools and talents at our disposal. Our management team is finely calibrated to assess, then act, making improvements in a variety of ways. From employing pinpointed marketing, to utilizing cost-effective resident retention programs, from cutting costs in one area to investing in another, all while ensuring resident satisfaction.
We have the systems in place and the depth of experience to quickly develop a strat-egy and plan of action to execute a successful lease up within the critical time period during the academic year even while a new project is under construction. In addition, AMC offers extensive experience in developing and implementing Residence Life Pro-gramming that complements the mission of our clients and student residents and look forward to working with the New Jersey City University (NJCU) to develop a custom solution for this new project.
AMC has adopted a multi-faceted approach to resident programming, blending current student development models and theories. The overall emphasis of the Residential Life Program is to support the academic enterprise through the creation of a healthy living-learning environment which promotes academic and personal enrichment both in and out of the classroom. Our student-centered communities provide accessible resources and promote collaborative efforts with the University that are critical to student success. Programming is developed to complement and supplement the pro-grams already offered by the University in order to meet the specific needs of the students residing in a particular residence hall or apartment community.
As a third-party management firm, AMC is keenly focused on customer service to our clients in order to promote long-term value, asset preservation, and cost efficiency. AMC offers a full range of management services and solutions including superior prop-erty operations management, lease-up management, financial services and reporting, facilities maintenance and operation, residence life programs, acquisitions and due diligence services, professional development and training as well as strategic business and marketing plan development and implementation.
Every university, owner, and financial institution we have the privilege to serve is unique and our continued success is based upon our flexibility to work in a constantly changing environment. AMC believes the most important aspect of providing global business and human capital solutions is to understand the needs of our client, execute our duties as assigned within the management agreement, take care of our residents and be the best relationship managers in the business.

The Flats at Kernan Jacksonville, FL
Located directly across from the campus of The University of North Florida, this $26 million student housing community was the first of the Flats’ luxury student living brand developed and owned by Vestcor. This purpose-built student housing development is a 192 unit 480 bed facility with a separate 10,000 SF Community Center that caters to students enrolled at the University of North Florida, Florida State College, and Florida Costal School of Law. Buildings at this community were delivered in less than 8 months from foundation prepara-tion to final certificate of occupancy. This property is currently 98% occupied.
Quote from UNF President John Delaney on the development of The Flats at Kernan: “As the University of North Florida continues to grow, both in size of the student body and the size of the campus, private businesses surrounding UNF become key to its success”.

This $16.4 million development was the second of Vestcor’s student housing communities and had aggressive deadlines that were met for August 2010 move in. This 131 unit 386 bed student housing community was built in less than 12 months, including sitework. Working closely as a team with PQH Architects and our general contractor through the entire project, we were able to stay ahead of schedule and even incorporate features into our community at a nominal cost that would otherwise be considered upgrades. The community opened for the Fall 2010 semester with a tremendous reception by the students at University of North Carolina – Charlotte. Located less than 1/3 mile from campus, this property has consistently remained fully occupied since opening in 2010.

The Flats at Campus Pointe Charlotte, NC
The sister property to The Flats at Mallard Creek in Charlotte, NC is a 99 unit, 183- bed stu-dent housing community which is also located less than 1/3 mile from campus. This project also had construction timeline challenges to overcome. Working through a harsh winter that was immediately preceded by 75 rain days during sitework, vertical construction started in December 2011 and we received our Certificate of Occupancy on August 13, 2012. Since opening in 2012, Campus Pointe has also remained fully occupied. The occupancy of our properties is a testament to the ongoing sense of community that has been developed by Vestcor and Ambling.

The newest of Vestcor’s student housing communities was completed in June, 2013 ahead of schedule. Vertical construction of this 225,000-SF facility, which included a two-story park-ing garage, took less than a year. Construction was completed 45 days ahead of schedule, which allowed residents the opportunity to move in early. This 5 story facility is equipped with elevators, internal corridors and trash rooms on every floor, much like the product we have designed for this proposal.
Quote from UGA student Justin Stewart about living at The Flat at Carrs Hill: “The Flats at Carrs Hill has a unique blend of the luxuries you expect in off campus living and convenience of living on campus. With the many amenities available here, there is no reason to leave the property. With its ideal location, getting to class and the attractions in Downtown Athens is a cinch!”

Exhibit B – Proposer Experience Reference [Include behind Tab 4 of the Statement. Submit at least three (3) but not more than five (5) references. Use a separate form for each reference.] Proposer Name: Vestcor Communities, Inc. If reference is for an individual or entity rather than for Proposer, identify the individual or entity:
(1) Project information (name, term of performance, overall project amount, your project amount): The Flats at Carrs Hill – 316 Bed Student Housing Community located in Athens, GA Project Start Date: 4-1-2012 Project End Date: 6-28-2013 Total Cost: $20,000,000 (2) Awarding authority (i.e., party/agency responsible for awarding contract or administering project) (name, address, phone number): Vestcor Communities, Inc. 3030 Hartley Road, Suite 310 Jacksonville, FL 32257 904-288-7810 (3) Other party’s contract officer, if applicable (list all if multiple, and dates of service) (name, phone number, email address, and physical address if different from (2)): Not Applicable (4) Other party’s project manager (list all if multiple, and dates of service) (name, phone number, email address, and physical address if different from (2)): Not Applicable (5) Nature of the work you performed under the project, and how it is relevant to the work you will perform if selected as a Developer by the University: Developed this 225,000 SF community within budget and ahead of schedule. This property is 5 stories and includes elevators, trash rooms, a trash chute, and interior hallways, much like this proposed project.
Page 29 of 74
(6) Type and extent of any subcontracting, teaming, or other arrangements to deliver service (describe your role, others’ roles, and the overall project structure): Effectively teamed with PQH and a local architectural firm to identify ideas that resulted in project savings of over $1 million. Managed by Ambling Management Company. (7) Significant challenges or weaknesses experienced under the project, and how you approached/overcame them: Significant design modifications were required on this project to achieve our goal of parking underneath the building. The parking garage was designed around the subsurface rock that was prevalent on the geotechnical borings. The design was successful as rock was not encountered in the garage area during construction. The site had a tremendous amount of rock on it, the risk of which was mitigated by paying a premium for the sitework subcontractor to take the risk for any rock encountered during construction. This additional premium was well calculated and resulted in us avoiding possible delays as there was extensive rock encountered which the subcontractor accepted under his contract without any delays to the schedule. (8) Significant successes or innovations achieved under the project: Project was delivered 45 days ahead of schedule. The property is served with a fiber pipe delivering 100MB of bandwith which provides extremely fast and dependable internet service to our residents. Successfully worked with Athens-Clarke County Department of Planning and Development to comply with all new code restrictions. (9) Other information about this project that is relevant to an assessment of your ability to perform under the Project if selected as a Developer: Vertical construction for this 225,000 SF facility was completed in less than 1 year, which is what will be required for this project. We worked effectively with a new contractor on this project.

Use a separate form for each reference.] Proposer Name: Vestcor Communities, Inc. If reference is for an individual or entity rather than for Proposer, identify the individual or entity:
(1) Project information (name, term of performance, overall project amount, your project amount): The Flats at Campus Pointe – 183 Bed Student Housing Community located in Charlotte, NC Project Start Date: 9-1-11 Project End Date: 8-1-2012 Total Cost: $10,300,000 (2) Awarding authority (i.e., party/agency responsible for awarding contract or administering project) (name, address, phone number): Vestcor Communities, Inc. 3030 Hartley Road, Suite 310 Jacksonville, FL 32257 904-288-7810 (3) Other party’s contract officer, if applicable (list all if multiple, and dates of service) (name, phone number, email address, and physical address if different from (2)): Not Applicable (4) Other party’s project manager (list all if multiple, and dates of service) (name, phone number, email address, and physical address if different from (2)): Not Applicable (5) Nature of the work you performed under the project, and how it is relevant to the work you will perform if selected as a Developer by the University: Development was privately financed.

Page 31 of 74
(6) Type and extent of any subcontracting, teaming, or other arrangements to deliver service (describe your role, others’ roles, and the overall project structure): Designed by PQH Group. MEP engineers who worked with PQH Group will be the same on this project. Managed by Ambling Management Company. Ambling Management Company successfully leased project to 100% and continues to provide property management services. Effectively worked with Mecklenburg Department of Planning and Development throughout entire development process. (7) Significant challenges or weaknesses experienced under the project, and how you approached/overcame them: Tirelessly worked with city council members, University officials and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Department to ensure this project and its sister property, The Flats at Mallard Creek, included the features that were important to each party. Vertical construction was accelerated due to numerous weather delays during sitework. Working 7 days a week as needed, and lighting the site at night, this project was delivered ahead of schedule. (8) Significant successes or innovations achieved under the project: Furniture installation time was reduced significantly by staging and assembling offsite. We have used this process improvement on all subsequent projects to save time and reduce traffic on the job site. Design innovations were introduced into the marketplace for the first time. 1BR and 2BR units represent the majority of the beds at this student property when most properties only offer higher density products. These unit types have a waiting list each year. Our IT solution on both Charlotte properties provided the fastest internet service of any student housing community in the area. We were also able to provide wireless routers in each unit for faster more secure access by residents. We were the first developer in the market to successfully negotiate with the University for use of the school shuttle to transfer residents from an off-campus property. With other developers subsequently following our lead, over 3,000 students are now shuttled daily from off-campus communities providing a tremendous relief for University parking.
Page 32 of 74
(9) Other information about this project that is relevant to an assessment of your ability to perform under the Project if selected as a Developer: Working closely with UNCC, we provide housing to many of the international students that attend the University. Positive working relationship with many departments (Chancellor’s Office, Real Estate Office, Facilities Management, University Police). Both of our student communities in Charlotte are consistently full which represents its acceptance and appeal in the marketplace.

environment. In 2009, Ambassador Rood was appointed by Florida Governor Crist as the Republican Party of
Florida Finance Chairman. Since May of 2009, Mr. Rood has served on the board of Alico Inc. (ALCO). Mr. Rood is a
current member of the Florida Council of 100. In January 2010, Mr. Rood was appointed by Governor Crist to serve

TAB 6 – PROJECT APPROACH
Development Overview Vestcor Communities is proposing to develop 216 beds of residence hall housing on the campus of Florida Polytechnic University. It is our intent this project would be the first phase of a conceptual master plan for the development of at least 1,000 beds of student housing at Florida Polytechnic University as depicted in Exhibit 1 on the following page. However, we understand the University may see advantages to building in an alternate location or with an alternate design and we are open to those ideas. This project requires an unleveraged investment to fund the entire amount of the development. We have assembled a group of investors to support this project that are not only committed to investing in this project but are interested in the long term success of the University. Our investors will now have a vested interest in supporting Florida Polytech University and ensuring it succeeds in the early years when support will be most critical. Our proposed 5 story L-shaped building will be positioned on the back of the housing quadrant identified in the RFSOQ, close to the IST Building and future site of the Wellness Center and easily accessible from the parking lot as shown in Exhibit 2 on the following page. We feel this location will provide a sense of arrival for students and prospective students during the early years of the University. The master plan in Exhibit 1 includes four phases of on-campus student housing comprising at least 1,000 beds, including both efficiency suites and apartment style living. Based on enrollment projections and housing demand, we anticipate one additional phase would be needed for the start of each successive academic school year. While each phase of this community will function independently with its own indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, as the campus grows the phases will eventually mesh together to become the epicenter of residential life at Florida Polytechnic University. Other components that can be incorporated to support resident life include a permanent dining hall that can be leased back to and eventually owned by the school, a resort-style swimming pool and other outdoor amenities for residents to enjoy such as volleyball, courtyards, greenspace and sitting areas.

Project Description
The design of the Florida Polytechnic University Housing includes modern amenities students are accustomed to in their own home as well as the features needed to support their educational experience. Today’s Millenial student has ever-expanding needs with regards to how they use technology in their daily lives and as part of their learning. Privacy, safety, convenience, and community amenities are combined in this project with the latest technological advances to create an environment that supports academic achievement in an enjoyable college atmosphere. Each suite will be approximately 1,150 square feet and will feature four private bedrooms and two bathrooms. Bathroom vanities are located outside the shower and toilet room. Each bedroom will have its own data/voice/cable port. All floor plans are designed to include spacious and efficient living space, including a living room, dining area, and an efficiency kitchen that encourages community and companionship in addition to providing comfortable accommodations. By providing efficiency kitchens, students will be encouraged to support the dining hall that will be operating on campus. Suites come complete with a microwave and refrigerator. We will offer laundry facilities on each floor or include a separate laundry room, equipped with washer and dryer in each suite. We believe providing a washer and dryer in each unit will allow residents to make the most productive use of their time. Electrical service, water/sewer, cable TV and high speed fiber optic internet are all included at no additional charge to the student. All suites are fully furnished. Included below is a representative unit floorplan that will be finalized in conjunction with University input.
Page 61 of 74
There will be 8 one bedroom units each with a separate living room that will comprise the resident hall assistant (“RA”) bedrooms. These rooms will all be handicap accessible units and can be rented to others as we anticipate only using 6 units for RAs. These units are strategically placed in high traffic areas to provide maximum oversight to the residents on each floor. Our IT consulting group, which we have used on all previous student housing communities, will coordinate wiring specifications, installation, and ultimate service connection with the Facilities Department at the university and the appropriate vendor. They will also coordinate the ongoing support of services throughout the building. We provide a standard cable service package to each unit and bedroom as well as a managed network of data service to each unit and bedroom with an uninterrupted speed of at least 25/5 MPS. We anticipate these same service levels will be available from the current vendors providing service to the campus. Wireless internet will be provided in each unit and throughout the entire building. Secure wifi connections for each unit will be provided to minimize traffic disruptions to the residents. The amenities at Florida Polytechnic University (FPU) Housing will offer a wide variety of gathering spaces that promote social interaction and support the applied learning philosophy at FPU. The first floor of the Phase I building will include over 8,000 square feet of common space that will include the following amenities:
Entrance/Elevator Lobby Leasing Office Fitness Room Club Room with hospitality and coffee bar Billiards Room Internet café and Computer Lab Study lounge with group study rooms State-of-the-art fitness center Wi-Fi access Reception desk with package area Mailroom Vending Area
Page 62 of 74
In addition to these amenity areas, there is a resident lounge on each floor that offers a gathering spot or meeting place. Residents will have 24/7 access to the amenity areas on the first floor. Other amenities included throughout the community including the following:
Secure building access Secure unit access 24 hour emergency maintenance Well-lighted building exterior Closed circuit video monitors throughout common areas Weekly resident activities
Access to the residence hall building will be controlled. Our objective is to manage this building with similar levels of security and access as other buildings on campus. During business hours, the leasing office and entrance foyer will be open to the public. All other building access points, interior amenity areas, residential hallways, units and elevator access will require use of the campus-wide card access system at all times. After hours, the leasing office will be closed and the entrance foyer will require the same level of secure access as the rest of the building. A community-wide surveillance system will be installed that provides constant monitoring of all building access points, common areas, and traffic points around the building.
Ambling’s management staff will be made up of 1 full-time manager, 1 full-time resident life director, 1 full-time maintenance supervisor, and 6 graduate or undergraduate resident assistants. We are open to exploring personnel sharing arrangements with the University for staffing needs such as maintenance and security.
We envision up to three additional phases of residence hall housing will eventually be constructed to complete this master plan. The size of each future phase is flexible to accommodate the housing demand. The fourth and final phase will be apartment style units that will front the pond and provide the architectural framework that was envisioned in the campus master plan. Our intent is that the design of all phases will not only achieve the aesthetic agenda that was contemplated in the campus master plan, but will complement the architectural style of the IST Building, even pulling certain building materials such as exterior metal panels, low E glass, and glazed concrete floors to provide a consistency across campus. Vestcor Communities has assembled the team that is driven to design, construct and deliver this project ahead of schedule. As such, resident’s official Move-In Day will be August 20, 2014.
Page 63 of 74
Project Timeline Vestcor Communities will direct the project team from initial concept and design, through construction to ultimate project delivery and management of this residence hall. We have assembled a very experienced team with a proven track record of delivering projects on time and effectively operating these communities for years to come. Each of our team members has a significant presence in Florida, offering immediately available resources to execute this project. Vestcor Communities is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. Vestcor affiliated entities currently have 19 apartment communities throughout Florida consisting of over 4,000 units. Our long working relationship with our architect, Ricardo Quinones of PQH Group, will be a contributing factor in efficiently implementing conceptual design ideas by offering systems and methods of construction which streamline what will be a design/build process. As Director of Design, Ricardo will personally facilitate the design and preparation of all construction documents with his engineers. Ricardo’s personal attention will ensure design milestones are met to make this project a reality. PQH is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. Vestcor Communities has already invested in a conceptual architectural design that we feel is not only attractive and complimentary to the IST building on the exterior, but practical and repeatable for construction while still offering a spacious and appealing housing community
upon completion. Our project will comply with the University’s established design and architectural standards and be constructed of concrete and steel. Our project will also comply with the State Requirements for Educational Facilities (Nov. 19, 2012) and the Florida Building Code (2010). Our work to date will allow for expedited completion of construction documents and submission for review.
Immediate availability of the site will be a key component to keeping on schedule. We anticipate that the pad will be delivered by the University and available to access in early November. Based on our development timeline, foundation plans will be available by November 4th, which will allow for immediate plan review, foundation preparation and pouring by the General Contractor. As part of the permitting process, we plan to request an Early Start – Foundation Only permit from the University.
Page 64 of 74
We are excited to partner with Skanska USA on this proposal. Their inclusion as General Contractor not only provides a superb general contractor and vast resources to ensure timely completion of construction, but also invaluable continuity and knowledge on the site given their current role as contractor for the construction of the University’s Innovation, Science, and Technology Building. Skanska’s full mobilization on site already provides immediate time savings to our overall development timeline while continuing the same working relationship with University staff and other key team members. Included below are a few of the advantages our team will realize by using Skanska as General Contractor: Understanding of the subsoil conditions and the ramifications on design, cost and schedule. Understanding of the in place-utilities installed by Skanska, including site gas, TECO electric,
Brighthouse and Verizon phone and internet services. Established working relationship with permitting agencies, including SWFWMD, City of
Lakeland permitting authorities and inspectors, Fire Marshall, and most importantly, Tom Browning, FPU’s Authority that has jurisdiction over the site.
Established working relationship with the civil engineers of record, Anderson Lane and Chastain Skillman (who also performed all site surveying and layout).
Control of the Site: Skanska can best control the use of the housing site and its associated logistical issues, including laydown, parking, work areas, etc. This is especially important on this project because of the extreme schedule constraints and probable necessity for shift work.
Subcontractor Efficiency: It will be possible to achieve best performance reliability from subcontractors that are already on site.
Overall risk, cost, quality and schedule will be better optimized by using Skanska’s existing team, which has already demonstrated the ability to manage and deliver a complex project with mostly local subcontractors, suppliers and labor.
Skanska has a significant presence in the State of Florida and anticipates continuing to use many local materialmen and vendors, providing a beneficial economic impact in the surrounding community. Enclosed following this narrative is a complete project schedule and timeline discussion prepared by Skanska.
Page 65 of 74
Upon construction completion, which has been projected for July 15, 2014 by Skanska, Vestcor Communities will coordinate with its interior design firm and furniture provider to execute the delivery and installation of all unit and common area furniture. A building of 60 units typically requires 4 days for the installation of unit furniture. The interior design firm typically requires 2 days for the installation of all of the common area furniture. Our vendor stages their assembly off-site for efficient installation into the building. Our IT consultants will finalize installation and testing of all equipment, cameras and computers at this time as well. We will be ready for residents to move in on August 20, 2014. We are pleased to include Ambling Management Company on our team as the property management firm for this development. With approximately 19,000 beds of student housing under management, including over 6,600 on-campus, Ambling is one of the largest student housing management companies in the country. As part of their portfolio, Ambling currently manages student housing communities in the following university markets in the State of Florida: Florida State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, University of Central Florida, University of North Florida, and University of Florida. Ambling also manages each of Vestcor’s student housing communities. Our proven partnership of operating first class student housing communities will continue with this property. Ambling will provide and administer a resident code of conduct for the housing community. Our marketing department and Ambling can begin working immediately with the Admissions staff to provide marketing collateral to interested parties. We anticipate Ambling will have a presence on campus beginning in January 2014 and will work with the University staff to determine how we can best support their marketing efforts when a student and their family arrive for a site visit. We are open to providing our own temporary leasing facility or working under the same roof in the Admissions Office. In either case, we will invest resources to ensure that a representative model or showroom is available for prospects to tour. We feel the presence of our management staff to explain the housing option will be an important feature that many prospects will enjoy during their tour of Florida Polytechnic University. Once leasing begins, prospective applicants will be required to meet Ambling’s established resident criteria. This process includes a criminal background and credit check. The community will use great care and will always abide by Federal, State and Local Fair Housing Laws when processing all potential resident applications. Leases will require parental guarantees unless a student can qualify on their own. With a significant presence already in the State of Florida, Ambling will always have resources readily available to support this community. Vestcor

Communities will provide further oversight and direction on the operation of the property to ensure we are satisfying the needs of both our residents and the University. Our team has already begun a collaborative effort of design concepts and knowledge sharing to ensure we deliver a product that will be viewed as an amenity and selling feature by the University.
