Executive Summary
Property Name Melreese Golf Course
Location 1802 Northwest 37th Avenue, Miami, Miami-Dade
County, Florida 33125
vii
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
The subject is an in-fill, urban location with potential for higher density, mixed-use
development, subject to a voter referendum, land use amendment & rezoning the site to SAP,
Special Area Plan rezoning.
The subject topography is improved at or above road grade with a higher percentage of
uplands versus water hazards.
Weaknesses/ Threats
The voter referendum, land use amendment & rezoning process could take 12-to-24 month
and will likely have opposition & protest from the neighboring residential community.
The City of Miami has an obligation to maintain parks & recreation areas for the public good
with a zero-net loss policy within the city limits. However, parks & recreation areas can be
mitigated by on-site open space requirements, the retention of a 9-hole golf course use, and
through off-site mitigation.
Any land use amendment, rezoning & future development will be height restricted by the FAA
based on proximity to the Miami International Airport.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS
An extraordinary assumption is defined as “an assignment-specific assumption as of the effective
date regarding uncertain information used in an analysis which, if found to be false, could alter
1
the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.”
Our analysis and value conclusions assume the City of Miami can readily achieve a voter
referendum, a land use amendment & rezoning of the site to SAP, Special Area Plan
necessary to develop the subject site to a higher density, mixed-use. If not, our analysis and
value conclusions will be impacted and we reserve the right to amend this report accordingly.
The use of these 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
2
assignment results, but is used for the purposes of analysis.”
None noted.

Enterprises, Inc. since 1972. The Melreese Country Club was established in 1942 with no
transactions or conveyances reported since then. However, we did not perform nor were we
provided with a title abstract.
According to historic accounts and recent media, the Melreese golf course was designed by
Charles Mahannah and Dick Wilson and opened in 1961 as the only city-owned course in
Miami. It is one of the few municipally owned businesses in Miami that is expected to break even
on a budget of $3.5 million. The course underwent an extensive renovation in 1996-97 and
again in 2014. Greens fees are priced at $35 for residents and reports approximately 40,000
rounds played a year. It also features a two-sided driving range, indoor hitting bays, a learning
center and classroom space.
At present, it is our understanding that the David Beckham led investor group is considering the
Melreese golf course as one of several potential sites for the 25,000-seat Major League Soccer
(MLS) stadium. However, any change in use would require a voter referendum, a land use
amendment, rezoning and mitigation to off-set the loss of any parks & recreation land within the
city limits.
EXPOSURE/MARKETING TIME
Current appraisal guidelines require an estimate of a reasonable time in which the subject could
be brought to market and sold. This reasonable time frame can either be examined historically
or prospectively. In a historical analysis, this is referred to as exposure time. Exposure time
always precedes the date of value, with the underlying premise being the time a property would
have been on the market prior to the date of value, such that it would sell at its appraised value
as of the date of value. On a prospective basis, the term marketing time is most often used. The
exposure/marketing time is a function of price, time, and use. It is not an isolated estimate of
time alone. In consideration of these factors, we have analyzed the following:

Scope of Work
This Appraisal Report is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under
Standards Rule 2 of USPAP. The scope of the assignment relates to the extent and manner in
which research is conducted, data is gathered and analysis is applied.
CLIENT
The client is the City of Miami.
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
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:
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:

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. Depending on
a specific appraisal assignment, any of the following four methods may be used to determine the
market value of the fee simple interest of land:
The first is the sales comparison approach. This is a process of analyzing sales of similar,
recently sold parcels in order to derive an indication of the most probable sales price (or value) of
the property being appraised. The reliability of this approach is dependent upon (a) the
availability of comparable sales data, (b) the verification of the sales data regarding size, price,
terms of sale, etc., (c) the degree of comparability or extent of adjustment necessary for
differences between the subject and the comparables, and (d) the absence of nontypical
conditions affecting the sales price. This is the primary and most reliable method used to value
land (if adequate data exists).
3
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
The income capitalization procedures include three methods: land residual technique, ground
rent capitalization, and Subdivision Development Analysis. A discussion of each of these three
techniques is presented in the following paragraphs.
The land residual method may be used to estimate land value when sales data on
similar parcels of vacant land are lacking. This technique is based on the principle of
balance and the related concept of contribution, which are concerned with equilibrium
among the agents of production--i.e. labor, capital, coordination, and land. The land
residual technique can be used to estimate land value when: 1) building value is
known or can be accurately estimated, 2) stabilized, annual net operating income to
the property is known or estimable, and 3) both building and land capitalization rates
can be extracted from the market. Building value can be estimated for new or
proposed buildings that represent the highest and best use of the property and have
not yet incurred physical deterioration or functional obsolescence.
The subdivision development method is used to value land when subdivision and
development represent the highest and best use of the appraised parcel. In this
method, an appraiser determines the number and size of lots that can be created
from the appraised land physically, legally, and economically. The value of the
underlying land is then estimated through a discounted cash flow analysis with
revenues based on the achievable sale price of the finished product and expenses
based on all costs required to complete and sell the finished product.
The ground rent capitalization procedure is predicated upon the assumption that
ground rents can be capitalized at an appropriate rate to indicate the market value of
a site. Ground rent is paid for the right to use and occupy the land according to the
terms of the ground lease; it corresponds to the value of the landowner's interest in the
land. Market-derived capitalization rates are used to convert ground rent into market
value. This procedure is useful when an analysis of comparable sales of leased land
indicates a range of rents and reasonable support for capitalization rates can be
obtained.
The allocation method is typically used when sales are so rare that the value cannot be estimated
by direct comparison. This method is based on the principle of balance and the related concept
of contribution, which affirm that there is a normal or typical ratio of land value to property value
for specific categories of real estate in specific locations. This ratio is generally more reliable
when the subject property includes relatively new improvements. The allocation method does not
produce conclusive value indications, but it can be used to establish land value when the number
of vacant land sales is inadequate.
The extraction method is a variant of the allocation method in which land value is extracted from
the sale price of an improved property by deducting the contribution of the improvements, which
is estimated from their depreciated costs. The remaining value represents the value of the land.
Value indications derived in this way are generally unpersuasive because the assessment ratios
may be unreliable and the extraction method does not reflect market considerations.
For the purposes of this analysis, we have utilized the sales comparison approach and the income
approach. In the sales comparable approach, we have researched & analyzed similar
4
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
comparable land sales within the immediate submarket area and the broader south Florida
region.
In regard to estimating the fair market rent of the subject property, we have surveyed the market
and researched large business park and retail ground lease rent comparables for direct
comparison to the subject property As Is via the income approach.

RECENT PERFORMANCE
Economic growth in Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall (MIA) has stalled. The area's unemployment
rate was unchanged over the last six months of 2017 as average hourly wages grew by an
unimpressive 1.5% last year. Despite creating plenty of mid-wage jobs in wholesale trade,
transportation and utilities, wage growth suffered because MIA is losing high-wage jobs in
6
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
finance. Labor market troubles are beginning to weigh down the housing market. For the first
time since 2011, house price appreciation in MIA fell short of the national average last year.
CRUISE CONTROL
Though growth will slow, the outlook for leisure and hospitality in MIA is not as grim as the
nationwide forecast because local tourism is buttressed by the behemoth cruise industry. Last
year, PortMiami broke its own 1-year-old world record and welcomed 5.3 million passengers.
The current fiscal year should be even busier than the last, as Royal Caribbean's 6,700-passenger
Symphony of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship, starts sailing from the port in the fall. The
growing cruise industry is also good news for jobs in professional services; MIA is the
headquarters of Carnival Corp., Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., and Norwegian Cruise Line
Holdings Ltd., the world's three largest cruise lines.
AMAZON HQ2
MIA joined the list of 20 finalists that Seattle-based Amazon selected in its widely publicized
search for a second headquarters because of the area's many advantages. Amazon is a logistics
behemoth, and MIA is a leading distribution center-Miami International is the nation's second-
busiest airport as ranked by metric tons of international freight, and PortMiami is the only East
Coast port south of Virginia capable of docking the largest ships that can navigate through the
recently expanded Panama Canal. MIA is also an international gateway. The metro division is the
only area in the U.S. where the majority of residents are foreign-born, and the airport is the
nation's second-busiest hub for international travel. Like all Florida cities, MIA boasts no state or
local income taxes and a warm business and meteorological climate.
But MIA also features significant drawbacks. Because of strained budgets and political opposition
to "corporate welfare," state and local officials are unlikely to offer Amazon an incentive package
on par with other metro areas. And though MIA offers Florida's most extensive public
transportation system, commuter and metro rail service lags compared with the cities in the
Northeast Corridor. Finally, within the continental U.S., no two major cities are farther apart than
MIA and Seattle. Though this great distance provides an advantage from geographic diversity,
the travel costs and time required to shuttle senior executives between these far-flung locations
could hurt MIA.
7
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
CONCLUSION
Tourism in Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall will rebound in the short run, but then it will face new
headwinds from unfavorable exchange rates. However, the cruise industry will be a source of
low- and high-wage jobs. In the long run, MIA's international character and high-skilled,
bilingual workforce will help it best the U.S. in income growth.

Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
Neighborhood Analysis
LOCATION
The subject property is located along the northwest quadrant of NW 14th Street and NW 37th
Avenue in the City of Miami. This location is approximately 6-miles northwest of the downtown
Miami central business district (CBD) and immediately across the way from the Miami
International Airport on the east side of NW 42nd Avenue (LeJeune Road).
BOUNDARIES
The neighborhood boundaries are detailed as follows:
LAND USE
Land uses within the immediate submarket area consist primarily of older, single family
residential homes including the Grapeland Heights subdivisions to the east. The Grapeland
Heights community dates to the 1940s & 1950s and best described as small, rambler style
housing with 2 to 4-bedroom floor plans, 1,000 to 2,000 square feet of living area and 6,000 to
9
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
8,000 square foot lots. Recent sale transactions reported in the range of $245,000 to $320,000
and there are multi-family, duplexes interspersed throughout the neighborhood.
Commercial development is centered along the prime east/west thoroughfares of Flagler Street
and SW 8th Street, SW 7th Street, and NW 7th Street, as well as, the prime north-south
thoroughfares of N.W./S.W. 27th Avenue, N.W. 37th Avenue and N.W./S.W. 42nd Avenue,
(Lejeune Road). The residential uses to the south of NW 14th Street and the subject locale consist
of single family subdivisions built during the 1950’s and 1960’s. The same time of development
pertains too much of the commercial structures in the neighborhood. Uses along Flagler Street
and S.W. 8th Street include older hotels, restaurants, retail buildings, and service business uses.
Because of the built-out nature of the neighborhood, most of the new development has resulted
from renovation or demolition and redevelopment of older structures. Most redevelopment has
taken place in closer proximity to downtown Miami, though there has been renovation and
redevelopment moving west in & around the subject neighborhood.
In addition, there has been new higher density residential developments along the Miami River,
which is a deep-water impetus for maritime activity, including marinas, shipping terminals, boat
repair facilities and commercial fisherman wharfs along the Miami River and Tamiami Canal
working waterfront. However, newer high-rise residential and mixed-use projects have been
constructed along the Miami River in the past decade including Latitude on the River, Mint at
Riverfront, Neo Vertika, River Oaks Marina & Tower, Terrazas Miami and the under construction
mixed-use, vertical retail center identified as River Landing further down river and located in the
Health District.
The Miami International Airport anchors the submarket immediately to the west of the subject
property. The Miami International Airport handles flights to cities throughout the Americas and
Europe, as well as cargo flights to Asia, and is South Florida's main airport for long-haul
international flights, although most domestic and low-cost carriers use Fort Lauderdale-
Hollywood International Airport and Palm Beach International Airport, which charge significantly
lower fees to tenant airlines.
Miami is a major gateway between the United States and Latin America, and, along with Atlanta's
Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, Miami is one of the largest aerial gateways into the American South,
owing to its proximity to tourist attractions, local economic growth, large local Latin American and
European populations, and strategic location to handle connecting traffic between North
America, Latin America, and Europe. In the past, it has been a hub for Braniff International,
Eastern Air Lines, Air Florida, the original National Airlines, the original Pan Am, United Airlines,
and Iberia. As an international gateway to the United States it ranks third, behind New York-JFK
in New York City and LAX in Los Angeles. Miami is also the proposed hub of two new start-up
airlines, one which hopes to use the Eastern Airlines name.
10
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
More recently, the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) located just east of the Miami International
Center and due north of the subject property is a $2 billion ground transportation hub is being
built by the Florida Department of Transportation.
The MIC Program consists of several components including major roadway improvements, a
reconfigured Le Jeune Road, completed in May 2008; the user-friendly Rental Car Center which
opened for business in July 2010; the MIA Mover which became operational in September 2011
and connects MIA to the Rental Car Center; the Miami Central Station which opened in April
2015 currently offers connections to Tri-Rail and Greyhound services with Amtrak services
scheduled to start in the fall of 2017; and Joint Development which is currently being explored.
Another notable land use in the Miami International Airport submarket is the Waterford at Blue
Lagoon office park, which is a 250-acre master planned business park that runs along the south
side of State Road 836/Dolphin Expressway with mid-rise corporate office buildings overlooking
the Miami International Airport and the Blue Lagoon/Tamiami Canal water feature. Waterford is
a phased office park owned by TIAA-CREF and developed by the Hogan Group, and home to
more than 200 well-known companies comprising regional, national, and international firms
such as Burger King, Canon, Xerox, Estee Lauder, Federal Express, Johnson & Johnson, Oracle,
Sony, Miami Children’s Hospital, Verizon Wireless, Breitling USA, Inc., Yves Saint Lauren Beaute,
Bank of America, FirstBank Florida, The Discovery Channel Latin America, Ford Motor Company,
Komatsu America, , Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Seabourn Cruise Lines, Sharp Electronics, and
other notable firms.
In the following table, is a summary of Waterford at Blue Lagoon, as well as, other notable office
buildings, including the Airport Corporate Center buildings located immediately west of the
Miami International Airport and just north of the subject property’s location.
11
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
As noted, there is approximately 5.305 million square feet of existing Class A & B office space in
the immediate vicinity of the subject property, of which a total of 518,986-SF or 9.3% is vacant
and available “for lease” with the majority in the range of $23.00 to $30.00 per square foot, on
a full-service basis, and-or $20.00 to $24.50 per square foot on a triple net basis.

Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
GROWTH PATTERNS
Growth patterns have occurred from the 1940s through present with single family subdivision,
commercial retail & service businesses, and more contemporary corporate office deliveries dating
back to the 1970’s, 1980’s, 1990’s through the 2000’s including recently completed limited
service and suite hotels that service the airport and business travelers; condominium conversions,
i.e. rental apartments to condominium ownership & reconversion back to rental; retail shopping
center renovations and new developments, such as, the recently completed Keystone Shoppes
located at 190 NW 42nd Avenue and the proposed Blue Lagoon Shoppes to be located at 1101
NW 57th Avenue.
ACCESS
Primary access to the subject neighborhood is provided by State Road 836/Dolphin Expressway,
the NW 14th Street exit and N.W. 37th Avenue (Douglas Road). Regional access is considered
excellent with the area bracketed by some of the major South Florida Highways, including the
Florida Turnpike (toll road) to the west; Interstate 95 to the east and the Airport Expressway (State
Road 112) to the north.
However, the single largest influence for the subject property and submarket is the Miami
International Airport (MIA), situated on the north side of State Road 836/Dolphin Expressway,
between the Palmetto Expressway (State Road 826) and LeJeune Road (N.W. 42nd Avenue). It is
the economic hub of the entire region, including international travel and cargo logistics, while
supporting the Doral/Airport West industrial submarket to the west and the downtown
Miami/Brickell Avenue financial submarket to the east.
Local east/west access in the subject area is provided by West Flagler Street, NW 7th Street, NW
20th Street and NW 14th Street. Local north/south access is provided via NW 12th Avenue, NW
17th Avenue, NW 22nd Avenue, NW 27th Avenue, NW 37th Avenue, NW 42nd Avenue and NW
57th Avenue.
Access to the downtown Miami CBD is provided via a mass transit system known as Metrorail and
the Metromover. The Metrorail is an elevated track train system, which extends north and west to
the City of Hialeah and south to the Dadeland area of unincorporated Miami-Dade County. The
Metromover is a remote controlled elevated track vehicle system, which provides local
transportation in and out of the Central Business District.
Finally, the Miami River is a restricted deep-water access waterway that navigates down river to
the Biscayne Bay, the Port of Miami and the Atlantic Ocean. Small pleasure boat and cargo
freighters navigate the Miami River via draw bridges at Brickell Avenue, Miami Avenue, the FEC
railway tracks, S.W. 2nd Avenue and S.W. 1st Street. The Interstate 95 off-ramps are fixed
bridges.

Overall, regional and local access to and throughout the subject neighborhood is considered
good by land and air & sea, which provides a strategic benefit to the subject property.
DEMOGRAPHICS
Selected neighborhood demographics in 1-, 3-, and 5-mile radii from the subject are shown in
the following table:
Population growth slowed in the past decade in the wake of the national economic recession in
2007. However, the future growth projection will be positive and represented by urban, in-fill
and redevelopment objectives going forward.
CONCLUSION
The neighborhood and submarket area is strategically located between the downtown Miami
CBD and the Miami International Airport. The neighborhood is essentially mature and built out
with older residential and commercial developments, and interspersed with a variety of newer
residential condominium, rental apartment, convenience retail projects and renovation/
redevelopments opportunities. While the Miami River has been an impetus for development since
the early 1900’s, it is the proximity of the Miami International Airport that will continue to provide
growth and redevelopment opportunities over the long term.

According to interviews with the City of Miami Planning & Zoning Department and recent media
report, the subject property is being considered as one of several potential sites for the 25,000-
seat Major League Soccer (MLS) stadium including peripheral development for a youth academy,
restaurant, retail, office space and maybe the retention of a 9-hole golf course. However, any
change in use would require a voter referendum, a land use amendment, rezoning to SAP,
Special Area Plan, and mitigation to off-set the loss of any parks & recreation land within the city
limits. Based on Miami 21, an SAP, Special Area Plan is described in detail, as follows:
The purpose of a Special Area Plan further is to encourage the assembly and master planning of
parcels greater than nine (9) Abutting acres in size, in order to provide greater integration of
public and private improvements and Infrastructure; to enable Thoroughfare connectivity; to
encourage a variety of Building Heights, massing and Streetscape design, and to provide high
quality design elements, all to further the intent of this Code expressed in Article 2.
3.9.1 General
a. The single or multiple owner(s) of Abutting properties in excess of nine (9) acres may
apply for a rezoning to a Special Area Plan.
b. A Special Area Plan shall be approved by the process of rezoning with or without Transect
changes.
c. A Special Area Plan shall assign Thoroughfares, Transect Zones and Civic Space Types,
with appropriate transitions to Abutting areas. Guidelines for Thoroughfares and Public
Frontages may be adjusted to the circumstances of the Special Area Plan.
d. A Special Area Plan shall include a map of the Thoroughfares and Transect Zones, and
the standards that deviate from the requirements of Article 5.
e. A Special Area Plan shall assign at least five percent (5%) of its aggregated Lot Area to a
Civic Space Type. Civic Building sites are to be located within or adjacent to Civic Space
Types or at the axial termination of significant Thoroughfares. The developer shall be
responsible for con- structing the public improvements within the Special Area Plan,
including but not limited to the Civic Space Types and Thoroughfares.
f. Development within the Special Area Plan shall be pursuant to a recorded development
agreement that will establish the allocation of Thoroughfares and Civic Space Types and
Building Area among the Building sites, and the creation and retention of the public
benefits.
23
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
g. Unless a Building is specifically approved as part of the Special Area Plan, any Building
shall be reviewed by the Planning Director, after referral to and recommendation from the
CRC for conformance to the Plan, prior to issuance of the Building Permit.
2. Retail Frontage requiring that a Building provide a Commercial Use at sidewalk level
along the entire length of the Frontage. The Commercial Use Building shall be no less
than seventy percent (70%) glazed in clear glass and provided with an Awning
overlapping the sidewalk as generally illustrated in Article 4, Table 6. The first floor
should be confined to Retail Use through the depth of the Second Layer.
3. Gallery or Arcade Frontage, requiring that a Building provide a permanent cover over
the sidewalk, either cantilevered or supported by columns. The Gallery or Arcade
Frontage may be combined with a Retail Frontage as shown in Article 4, Table 6.
Gallery or Arcade Front- age within the First Layer may apply towards Open Space
requirements.
5. A Terminated Vista location, requiring that the Building be provided with architectural
articulation of a Type and character that responds to the location.
6. A Pedestrian Passage, requiring a minimum ten (10) foot wide pedestrian access be
reserved between Buildings.
9. A parking management program that enables shared parking among public and
private Uses.

The subject property is exempt from real estate property taxes based on municipal government
ownership. However, if the subject property were sold-off to a third-party developer the
exemption would be rescinded. In addition, under a ground lease scenario, the land component
would remain exempt while any tenant leasehold improvements would be taxable, unless a non-
profit or municipal government entity developed and operated the leasehold improvements.
If the exemption is rescinded through sell-off, the local Assessor’s methodology for valuation
would be sales comparison and-or the recorded sale price. The next re-assessment of the subject
is scheduled for January 1, 2019. In addition, the January 1, 2018 assessment has yet to be
posted.
26
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
legally permissible;
physically possible;
financially feasible; and
maximally productive.
The highest and best use analysis of the subject is discussed below.
AS VACANT
Legal Permissibility
The legally permissible uses were discussed in the Site Analysis and Zoning Sections. The existing
CS, Civic Space district zoning has limitations. However, the City of Miami is considering a voter
referendum that would allow a land use amendment and rezoning to SAP, Special Area Plan,
which allows for higher density, mixed-use development options, subject to FAA height
restrictions.
Physical Possibility
The subject is adequately served by utilities, and has an adequate shape and size, sufficient
access, etc., to be a high density, mixed-use 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 have been approved and-or developed to densities as high as
0.28 to 0.68 FAR (floor-area-ratio), as per the comparable land sales analyzed in this appraisal.
In addition, The Landing at MIA is a mixed-use business park located on the west side of the
airport and east of the Palmetto Expressway (State Road 826) comprises 50.3-acres and is
improved with 1,050,761-SF of Class A & B office building, single story office and warehouse
buildings, which equates to an 0.48-FAR. Considering these buildings are contemporary and
built in the 1980s & 1990s, this would provide additional evidence for the physical possibility of
development and potential density for the subject property based on SAP, Special Area Plan
zoning district.
Financial Feasibility
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. Development of
new office buildings, strip retail, limited & full-service hotels and road improvements in & around
the Miami International Airport has been booming.
27
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
While we previously noted, the existing municipal owned & operated golf course is a breakeven
endeavor, as well as, an underutilization of the subject property given the strategic location
characteristics and potential for higher density development.
Based on the information presented above and upon information contained in the
neighborhood section of this report and the sales comparison analysis, we conclude that the
highest and best use of the subject would be a high density, mixed-use business park with
corporate office, retail & hotel components, surrounding generous open space including active
parks & recreation land uses, such as a downsized golf course and-or practice driving range,
subject to voter referendum, land use amendment & rezoning to SAP.
AS IMPROVED
Legally Permissible
The site has been improved with a municipal owned & operated golf course that is a legal,
conforming use.
Physically Possible
The layout and positioning of the improvements are considered functional for municipal golf
course use. However, the strategic location and potential for higher density, mixed-use business
park development clearly shows the existing municipal golf course use is an underutilization of
the site.

The sales utilized represent the best data available for comparison with the subject and were
selected from the greater Miami area and regional business districts within the Miami-Dade
County market area. These sales were chosen based upon physical size, location, zoning/density
and highest & best uses in direct comparison to the subject property, assuming the voter
referendum, land use amendment and rezoning to SAP, Special Area Plan can be readily
achievable by the City of Miami.
It is important to note, in late 2013, this site was rezoned from industrial to the newly created
Palmer Lake Metropolitan Urban Center District (PLMUC), which allows all types of industrial
uses, mixed-use development, retail, hotel, motels, and even residential development in certain
sub-districts. According to the Palmer Lake Charrette Area Plan of Miami-Dade County, the
redevelopment of the Bertram property has excellent potential to transform into a mixed-use,
pedestrian-oriented district that compliments the nearby MIC and joint development area as well
as the rest of Palmer Lake. Based on the property location and age of the improvements, this
current transaction is essentially a redevelopment play acquired by an Argentinian based
architect & developer who resides on Fisher Island. The buyer was attracted to the site because of
its proximity to Miami International Airport, the river and the Miami Intermodal Center, where
multiple public transit systems converge. Several redevelopment concepts include offices, hotels,
senior living and retail/entertainment uses focused on the riverfront, while maintaining interim
use income from an upgraded marina.
We adjusted Land Sale 1 upwards for positive market conditions between the sale transaction
date and our effective date of value. We also adjusted Land Sale 1 downwards for smaller
size/value relationship and downwards for superior frontage along the Tamiami Canal in direct
comparison to the subject property.

Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
and very seasoned developers including Stuart Miller with Lennar Corp.; and Armando Codina &
Jim Carr with CC Homes. The two developers were the winning bidders and marks one of the
most expensive land deals in Miami-Dade history. The seller is GWC Miami Property LLC, an
affiliate of GIC, the sovereign fund of the government of Singapore. GIC acquired the property
through bankruptcy actions. The transaction was recorded in a three-way transaction with White
Course Lennar LLC; CC Homes at Doral; and, CC-WCD TIC purchasing three parcels for $27.5
million; $27.6 million; and, $40.9 million, respectively.
Lennar and CC Homes have a pending development application with the City of Doral for
Downtown Doral South. The site plan calls for 2,209 residential units, 150,000 square feet of
office space, 30,000 square feet of retail, seven acres for a civic and school uses, and 17.6-acres
for an amphitheater/public recreation area. The development will also feature linear greenways
and a promenade that connects to the new public space/amphitheater. As planned, 7 acres will
be set aside for civic use to be determined by the city, as well as a school for grades 6-12 that
will complement the K-5 charter school at Downtown Doral.
Codina and Lennar were the winning bidders and beat out developer & presidential hopeful
Donald Trump, Shoma Group’s Masoud Shojaee and other well-known developers in the
process. Bids were due on July 15, 2014 and contracts were executed in April 2015 with 12
months of escrow & due diligence. The property’s zoning parameters were set forth in a master
development agreement between the property’s predecessor owner, MSR Resort Hotel, in 2012.
The agreement has been in place for 20 years, and development must begin within 10 years.
The agreement was part of a court settlement between the former owner and the city. The prior
owner/hotel company filed Chapter 11 during the recession. The White Course was then deeded
to GWC Miami Property, controlled by the government of Singapore, as a creditor in the
bankruptcy case. The site is a rolling golf course topography with substantial water hazards.
We adjusted Land Sale 2 upwards for positive market conditions between the sale transaction
date and our effective date of value. We also adjusted Land Sale 2 upwards for inferior frontage,
inferior topography/site conditions given the substantial volume of golf course lakes & water
hazards that required to be backfilled and upwards for inferior location in direct comparison to
the subject property.
31
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
to renovate the parking lot areas, restroom and canopy improvements. The buyer was interested
in this property based on the existing below market Miami Auto Auction lease rate and the new
flea market operator lease produces a 6.10% cap rate, while providing a defensive downside
protection strategy based on the in-fill location, land value with a higher density, mixed-use
zoning designation and marketability for leasing to tractor trailer parking or other open yard &
parking uses.
We adjusted Land Sale 3 downwards for superior property rights conveyed, i.e. leased fee interest
with ground leased tenant base, and upwards for positive market conditions between the sale
transaction date and our effective date of value. We also adjusted Land Sale 3 downwards for
smaller size/value relationship and upwards for inferior location in direct comparison to the
subject property.
We adjusted Land Sale 4 upwards for positive market conditions between the sale transaction
date and our effective date of value. We also adjusted Land Sale 4 downwards for smaller
size/value relationship, upwards for inferior shape/configuration and upwards for inferior
location in direct comparison to the subject property.
32
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
We adjusted Land Sale 5 downwards for superior property rights conveyed, i.e. leased fee interest
with a short-term sale/leaseback. We also adjusted Land Sale 5 downwards for smaller
size/value relationship and upwards for inferior location in direct comparison to the subject
property.
We adjusted Land Sale 6 downwards for superior property rights conveyed, i.e. leased fee interest
with a short-term sale/leaseback. We also adjusted Land Sale 6 downwards for smaller
size/value relationship and upwards for inferior location in direct comparison to the subject
property.
SUMMARY OF ADJUSTMENTS
Based on our comparative analysis, the following chart summarizes the adjustments warranted to
each comparable.
33
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
CONCLUSION
The comparables sales presented produced an overall unadjusted value indicator range from
$16.94 to $39.01 per square foot of site area; and, $54.92 to $109.13 per square foot of
proposed or approved FAR. After considering and-or applying adjustments for property rights
conveyed, financing terms & conditions, conditions of sale, market conditions (time), size, shape,
corner/frontage, topography, location, and zoning/density, the range of value indicators was
narrowed substantially to $23.26 to $30.43 per square foot of site area; and, $54.79 to $60.64
per square foot of proposed or approved FAR.
Based on the preceding analysis, Comparables 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 were the most representative of the
subject site, and warranted greatest consideration because of recent sale transaction dates,
location and zoning/density. In conclusion, a price per square foot of site area near the midpoint
of the unadjusted range and within the narrow-adjusted range of value indicators was most
appropriate for valuing the subject As Is. The following table presents the land valuation

Based on the foregoing comparable rent survey presentation & analysis of the proper fair market
rent for the subject property should fall well above Rentals 1 & 2; below Rentals 4, 5 & 6; and,
within reason of Rental 3, at say $1.50-PSF on an absolute net basis with the following market
supported lease terms & conditions for the subject property:
37
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
An appropriate profit spread for a ground lease transaction of this type would be between 200
and 300 basis points between rent multiplier and overall capitalization rate. In order to
determine a reasonable overall capitalization rate, we have presented the national investor
survey for triple net lease and land lease investors:
38
Melreese Golf Course, Miami, Florida
Based on the foregoing analysis and presentation, the subject property has the potential to be
leased to a third party for surface parking lot use. The corresponding capitalization range for a
long term prospective land lease investment in the built-up, and strategic Miami International
Airport submarket would be 2.50% to 3.50%. Hence, a 2.50% to 3.50% overall capitalization
rate expectation plus 250 basis point spread for profit expectation would produce a rent
multiplier range of 0.050 to 0.055.

(xi) All information regarding the areas and dimensions of the subject property furnished to CBRE are correct, and
no encroachments exist. CBRE has neither undertaken any survey of the boundaries of the subject property nor
reviewed or confirmed the accuracy of any legal description of the subject property.
Unless otherwise expressly noted in the Report, no issues regarding the foregoing were brought to CBRE’s
attention, and CBRE has no knowledge of any such facts affecting the subject property. If any information
inconsistent with any of the foregoing assumptions is discovered, such information could have a substantial
negative impact on the Report. Accordingly, if any such information is subsequently made known to CBRE, CBRE
reserves the right to amend the Report, which may include the conclusions of the Report. CBRE assumes no
responsibility for any conditions regarding the foregoing, or for any expertise or knowledge required to discover
them. Any user of the Report is urged to retain an expert in the applicable field(s) for information regarding such
conditions.
4. CBRE has assumed that all documents, data and information furnished by or behalf of the client, property owner,
or owner’s representative are accurate and correct, unless otherwise expressly noted in the Report. Such data and
information include, without limitation, 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 error in any of the above could have a substantial impact on the Report.
Accordingly, if any such errors are subsequently made known to CBRE, CBRE reserves the right to amend the
Report, which may include the conclusions of the Report. The client and intended user should carefully review all
assumptions, data, relevant calculations, and conclusions of the Report and should immediately notify CBRE of any
questions or errors within 30 days after the date of delivery of the Report.
5. CBRE assumes no responsibility (including any obligation to procure the same) for any documents, data or
information not provided to CBRE, including without limitation any termite inspection, survey or occupancy permit.
6. All furnishings, equipment and business operations have been disregarded with only real property being
considered in the Report, except as otherwise expressly stated and typically considered part of real property.
7. Any cash flows included in the analysis are forecasts of estimated future operating characteristics based upon the
information and assumptions contained within the Report. Any projections of income, expenses and economic
conditions utilized in the Report, including such cash flows, should be considered as only estimates of the
expectations of future income and expenses as of the date of the Report and not predictions of the future. Actual
results are affected by a number of factors outside the control of CBRE, including without limitation fluctuating
economic, market, and property conditions. Actual results may ultimately differ from these projections, and CBRE
does not warrant any such projections.
8. The Report contains professional opinions and is expressly not intended to serve as any warranty, assurance or
guarantee of any particular value of the subject property. Other appraisers may reach different conclusions as to
the value of the subject property. Furthermore, market value is highly related to exposure time, promotion effort,
terms, motivation, and conclusions surrounding the offering of the subject property. The Report is for the sole
purpose of providing the intended user with CBRE’s independent professional opinion of the value of the subject
property as of the date of the Report. Accordingly, CBRE shall not be liable for any losses that arise from any
investment or lending decisions based upon the Report that the client, intended user, or any buyer, seller, investor,
or lending institution may undertake related to the subject property, and CBRE has not been compensated to
assume any of these risks. Nothing contained in the Report shall be construed as any direct or indirect
recommendation of CBRE to buy, sell, hold, or finance the subject property.
9. No opinion is expressed on matters which may require legal expertise or specialized investigation or knowledge
beyond that customarily employed by real estate appraisers. Any user of the Report is advised to retain experts in
areas that fall outside the scope of the real estate appraisal profession for such matters.
10. CBRE 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.
11. Acceptance or use of the Report constitutes full acceptance of these Assumptions and Limiting Conditions and any
special assumptions set forth in the Report. It is the responsibility of the user of the Report to read in full,
comprehend and thus become aware of all such assumptions and limiting conditions. CBRE assumes no
responsibility for any situation arising out of the user’s failure to become familiar with and understand the same.
12. The Report applies to the property as a whole only, and any pro ration or division of the title into fractional
interests will invalidate such conclusions, unless the Report expressly assumes such pro ration or division of
interests.

ADDENDA
Addendum A
It is important to note, in late 2013, this site was rezoned from industrial to the newly created Palmer
Lake Metropolitan Urban Center District (PLMUC), which allows all types of industrial uses, mixed-use
development, retail, hotel, motels, and even residential development in certain sub-districts. According to
the Palmer Lake Charrette Area Plan of Miami-Dade County, the redevelopment of the Bertram property
has excellent potential to transform into a mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented district that compliments the
nearby MIC and joint development area as well as the rest of Palmer Lake. Based on the property
location and age of the improvements, this current transaction is essentially a redevelopment play
acquired by an Argentinian based architect & developer who resides on Fisher Island. The buyer was
attracted to the site because of its proximity to Miami International Airport, the river and the Miami
Intermodal Center, where multiple public transit systems converge. Several redevelopment concepts
include offices, hotels, senior living and retail/enterainment uses focused on the riverfront, while
maintaining interim use income from an upgraded marina.
Lennar and CC Homes have a pending development application with the City of Doral for Downtown
Doral South. The site plan calls for for 2,209 residential units, 150,000 square feet of office space,
30,000 square feet of retail, seven acres for a civic and school uses, and 17.6-acres for an
amphitheater/public recreation area. The development will also feature linear greenways and a
promenade that connects to the new public space/amphitheater. As planned, 7 acres will be set aside
for civic use to be determined by the city, as well as a school for grades 6-12 that will complement the
K-5 charter school at Downtown Doral.
Codina and Lennar were the winning bidders and beat out developer & presidential hopeful Donald
Trump, Shoma Group·s Masoud Shojaee and other well known developers in the process. Bids were
due on July 15, 2014 and contracts were executed in April 2015 with 12 months of escrow & due
diligence. The property·s zoning parameters were set forth in a master development agreement between
the property·s predecessor owner, MSR Resort Hotel, in 2012. The agreement has been in place for 20
years, and development must begin within 10 years. The agreement was part of a court settlement
between the former owner and the city. The prior owner/hotel company filed Chapter 11 during the
recession. The White Course was then deeded to GWC Miami Property, controlled by the government of
Singapore, as a creditor in the bankruptcy case. The site is a rolling golf course topography with
substantial water hazards.

Map & Comments
This comparable land sale comprises a clustering of three (3), non-contiguous parcels including the
33.78-acre Opa-Locka Hialeah Flea Market site, the 28.31-acre Miami Auto Auction site, and a 9.98-
acre ancilliary support site. According to the broker, the seller previously acquired & assembled the three
parcels between 1984 & 1990 for $11.3 million and was the operator of the flea market, while collecting
rent from the Miami Auto Auction. The buyer is a publicly traded REIT that negotiated a post closing, 12-
year lease with three, 5-year renewal options with RER Outdoor Marketplace LLC whose principals
include Chris Kallivokas, Rodney Barreto Brian May and the selling broker, Michael Fay. The new tenant
operator group of the flea market has plans to renovate the parking lot areas, restroom and canopy
improvements. The buyer was interested in this property based on the existing below market Miami Auto
Auction lease rate and the new flea market operator lease produces a 6.10% cap rate, while providing a
defensive downside protection strategy based on the in-fill location, land value with a higher density,
mixed-use zoning designation and re-leasability for tractor trailer parking or other open yard & parking
uses.
