Dear Ms Lorenzo:
As requested, we have prepared an appraisal of the property referenced above presented in the attached
Appraisal Report (Market Rent Study. The purpose of the market rent study is to develop an opinion of the
'as is' fair market rent and terms of the unencumbered fee simple interest for a proposed 300 room hotel
with 10,000 SF of retail space and 30,000 SF of meeting space, to be placed in the southern portion of
Jungle Island, to be paid to the City by Jungle Island, as of June 19, 2017.
Briefly described, the site is estimated to consist of approximately 104,093 SF or 2.39± acres of uplands
located in the southern portion of the Jungle Island site on Watson Island, in Miami, Miami-Dade County,
Florida. The site is owned by the City of Miami. According to the developer, the site is proposed for a 300
room hotel, plus 10,000 SF of retail space and 30,000 SF of meeting/banquet space. There are no plans or
square footage estimates for the hotel presented by the developer. The appraiser estimated a total gross
building area including the hotel, retail, meeting space and parking to be 346,000 SF. The subject is zoned
CS Civic Space, under Zoning Ordinance Miami 21, per the City of Miami.
The report contains 84 pages plus related exhibits. The appraisal and the attached Appraisal Report (Market
Study) have been prepared in conformity with and are subject to the Code of Professional Ethics and

The percentage rent is based on gross revenue and assumes a breakpoint of $25,550,000 and is in addition
to the stated base rent. The base rent conclusions assume increases at CPI every 5 years and also assume
the tenant (Jungle Island) would be responsible for the payment of all ad valorem and non ad valorem
property taxes and assessments levied on the property. No consideration is given for the construction
period and any rent abatement during the construction period; not the lease-up or future stabilization of
the income streams from the various components. We were not provided with building or site plans. We
make the assumption that all construction will be of similar quality to the comparables noted in this report
The use of the aforementioned Extraordinary Assumptions might have affected the assignment results. The
use of the aforementioned Extraordinary Assumptions might have affected the assignment results.
This appraisal is not based on any hypothetical conditions.
The opinion(s) of value are based on exposure times of 6 to 12 months, assuming the property was properly
priced and actively marketed.

you have any questions, please contact the undersigned. We thank you for retaining the services of our

17-216-02 GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITING CONDITIONS
This Appraisal Report is subject to underlying assumptions and limiting conditions qualifying the
information contained in the Report as follows:
The valuation opinions(s) apply only to the property specifically identified and described in the ensuing
Report.
Information and data contained in the report, although obtained from public record and other reliable
sources and, where possible, carefully checked by us, is accepted as satisfactory evidence upon which rests
the final opinion(s) of property value.
We have made no legal survey, nor have we commissioned one to be prepared, and therefore, reference to
a sketch, plat, diagram or previous survey appearing in the report is only for the purpose of assisting the
reader to visualize the property.
It is assumed that all information known to the client and/or the property contact and relative to the
valuation has been accurately furnished and that there are no undisclosed leases, agreements, liens or
other encumbrances affecting the use of the property, unless otherwise noted in this report.
Ownership and management are assumed to be competent and in responsible hands.
No responsibility beyond reasonableness is assumed for matters of a legal nature, whether existing or
pending.
We, by reason of this appraisal, shall not be required to give testimony as expert witness in any legal
hearing or before any Court of Law unless justly and fairly compensated for such services.
By reason of the Purpose of the Appraisal and the Intended User and Use of the Report herein set forth, the
value opinion(s) reported are only applicable to the Property Rights Appraised, and the Appraisal Report
should not be used for any other purpose.
Disclosure of the contents of this Appraisal Report is governed by the By-Laws and Regulations of the
Appraisal Institute.
Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any opinions as to value, our identity, or
the firm with which we are connected, or any reference to the Appraisal Institute or to the MAI
Designation) shall be reproduced for dissemination to the public through advertising media, public relations
media, news media, sales media or any other public means of communication without our prior consent
and written approval.
We have not been furnished with soil or subsoil tests, unless otherwise noted in this report. In the absence
of soil boring tests, it is assumed that there are no unusual subsoil conditions or, if any do exist, they can be
or have been corrected at a reasonable cost through the use of modern construction techniques.
This appraisal is based on the conditions of local and national economies, purchasing power of money, and
financing rates prevailing at the effective date(s) of value.
We are not engineers and any references to physical property characteristics in terms of quality, condition,
cost, suitability, soil conditions, flood risk, obsolescence, etc., are strictly related to their economic impact
on the property. No liability is assumed for any engineering-related issues.
Unless otherwise stated in this report, we did not observe the existence of hazardous materials, which may
or may not be present on or in the property. The presence of substances such as asbestos, urea-
formaldehyde foam insulation, or other potentially hazardous materials, may affect the value of the
property. The value opinion is predicated on the assumption that there is no such material on or in the
property that would cause a loss in value or extend their marketing time. No responsibility is assumed for
any such conditions, or for the expertise or engineering knowledge required to discover them. The client is
urged to retain an expert in this field, if desired.

17-216-02 GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITING CONDITIONS
Toxic and hazardous substances, if present within a facility, can introduce an actual or potential liability that
may adversely affect marketability and value. Such effects may be in the form of immediate clean-up
expense or future liability of clean-up costs (stigma). In the development of our opinion(s) of value, no
consideration was given to such liabilities or their impact on value. The client and all intended users release
Joseph J. Blake and Associates, Inc., from any and all liability related in any way to environmental matters.
Possession of this report or a copy thereof does not imply right of publication, nor use for any purpose by
any other than the client to whom it is addressed, without our written consent.
Cash flow projections are forecasts of estimated future operating characteristics and are based on the
information and assumptions contained within the Appraisal Report. The achievement of the financial
projections will be affected by fluctuating economic conditions and is dependent upon other future
occurrences that cannot be assured. Actual results may well vary from the projections contained herein.
We do not warrant that these forecasts will occur. Projections may be affected by circumstances beyond
our current realm of knowledge or control.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. We have not made a specific
compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine whether it is in conformity with the various
detailed requirements of the ADA. It is possible that a compliance survey of the property, together with a
detailed analysis of the requirements for the ADA, could reveal that the property is not in compliance with
one or more of the requirements of the Act. If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of
the property. Unless otherwise stated in this report, we have no direct evidence relating to this issue and
we did not consider possible non-compliance with the requirements of the ADA in forming the opinion of
the value of the property.
EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS

to the stated base rent. The base rent conclusions assume increases at CPI every 5 years and also assume
the tenant (Jungle Island) would be responsible for the payment of all ad valorem and non ad valorem
property taxes and assessments levied on the property. No consideration is given for the construction
period and any rent abatement during the construction period; not the lease-up or future stabilization of
the income streams from the various components. We were not provided with building or site plans. We
make the assumption that all construction will be of similar quality to the comparables noted in this report

The property is also identified by the Miami-Dade County Tax Assessor's Office as tax parcel number(s) 01-
3231-000-0014.
The legal description of the property is assumed to be correct. We have not commissioned a survey, nor
have we had one verified by legal counsel. Therefore, we suggest a title company, legal counsel, or other
qualified expert verify this legal description before it is used for any purpose.
CURRENT USE OF THE SUBJECT
As of the date of the value opinion(s), the subject was being used as parking garage. For the purposes of
this report, the subject is valued as hotel - full service.
HISTORY OF THE SUBJECT
The subject is currently owned by City of Miami.
The subject site is located on Watson Island, which is located within Biscayne Bay, mid-way between
Downtown Miami and Miami Beach. The island is accessed by the MacArthur Causeway (State Road 41),
which travels from Miami to Miami Beach. The roadway approximately bisects the island, with
undeveloped land located on the northeast and southwest of the roadway. The site is owned by the city of
Miami, which has owned the site since Watson Island was deeded to the City of Miami by the State of
Florida in 1949.
Approximately 12 years ago, the City of Miami determined Watson Island was underutilized, and set out to
develop the island.
Parrott Jungle was originally located in Pinecrest in Southwest Miami-Dade County since 1936. From 1995
to 2000 Parrott Jungle went through the process to move to Watson Island by securing a $25,000,00 loan
from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Construction of the current facility began in
2000.
Parrott Jungle opened in 2003. IN 2007 the name was changed to Jungle Island with plans to make changes
to the park.
In 2012 the park sought to expand on an adjacent 13 acre parcel, however, this was never approved.
In 2016 the Aventura based company ESJ Capital Partners takes over a $10.75 million mortgage from HSBC.
In 2017 ESJ Capital Partners takes over ownership of the park in a $60 million deal, $15 million in cash. The
lease for the property was transferred to ESJ and the firm assumes about $45 million in debt.
Plans were announced that a renovation of the park was proposed. Plans are to add zip lines and a two acre
man made lagoon.
ESJ is now exploring the possibility of developing a 300 room hotel with 10,000 SF of retail and 30,000 SF of
meeting/banquet space. This is proposed to be located where the current parking garage is at the southern
portion of the property.
We are not aware of any listings, real property transactions, or ownership transfers pertaining to the
subject in the three years prior to the date of the "as is" value opinion, other than that which is reported
here.

17-216-02 AREA ANALYSIS
AREA MAP
INTRODUCTION
The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) encompasses Broward,
Miami-Dade, Monroe and Palm Beach counties. The subject is located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Miami-Dade County is located in the southeast portion of Florida's east coast and is the southernmost
county situated on Florida's mainland. Miami is the county seat of Miami-Dade County, which includes
many other incorporated areas such as Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Coral Gables, South Miami, Pinecrest,
Aventura, Hialeah and Homestead.
Miami-Dade County boasts an excellent geographic location, allowing it to serve as a gateway to the
Caribbean and Latin America. A tourist destination in itself, it is also within a day's drive to some of Florida's
major tourist destination cities.
12
Jungle Island Hotel
17-216-02 AREA ANALYSIS
Development and growth in Miami-Dade County are often attributed to the climate, which draws the
northern United States tourist trade during the winter months. Miami-Dade County is a recognized banking
and finance center, with over 120 financial institutions featuring a growing community of international
banks serving Latin America. This international activity has emerged due to the more than 150 multi-
national firms that have established their offices in Miami-Dade in order to direct their Latin American,
Caribbean and in some cases, worldwide operations.
The growth in business relations between Latin America and Miami-Dade County has been accompanied by
ongoing growth in tourism from Latin America. Latin American tourists who enjoy shopping in the United
States represent a major demand segment in Miami-Dade County's lodging and retail markets.
The concurrency provision in the 1985 Growth Management Act requires that all water, sewer, roads,
schools, parks and storm water facilities necessary to support existing improvements be in place before
new construction is permitted. Thus, if a location is deficient in one or more categories, the affected
infrastructure component must be expanded to support any new construction. A developer may choose to
provide the various facilities and/or services necessary to support their project. However, in some cases the
expense associated with offsite improvements may render a project economically unfeasible.
Transportation
Miami International Airport is the largest gateway between the United States and Latin America, and is one
of the largest airline hubs in the United States, 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.
The Port of Miami is a leader in the maritime industry and home to nearly a dozen of the world’s most
distinguished cruise lines. The port offers more cargo sailings to more destinations in the Western
hemisphere than any other port, and offers access to virtually every port in the world.
Metrorail is a 21-mile rapid transit system on an elevated railway providing access to Downtown Miami
from portions of both south and north Miami-Dade County. It connects with Metromover, a 30-station,
five-mile system, that loops through the center of Downtown Miami's CBD. Metrobus provides the feeder
system to Metrorail and bus service to all other parts of Miami-Dade County.
A network of 5,640 miles of roadway serves Miami-Dade County, of which I-95, I-75, Florida’s Turnpike, and
the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826) are the most utilized north/south highways, while SR-112, SR-826 and
SR-836 are the most utilized east/west expressways. US-1 and SR-A1A are also components of this network.
Other primary thoroughfares include I-395 (east/west), I-195 (east/west), SR-9, SR-94, SR-874, US-27, US-41
and US-441.
Education
Miami-Dade County is served by more than 900 public and private secondary and elementary schools.
Seven colleges and universities are located in the county.
Miami-Dade College currently offers more than 175 programs and 1,500 courses, with enrollment of over
160,000 students. The University of Miami in Coral Gables has more than 15,000 degree-seeking students
and offers 150 undergraduate and 192 graduate degree programs. Florida International University, with
two campuses, 36,000 students and more than 800 full-time faculty, received the nation’s fifth largest
philanthropic gift in the history of public higher education—the Wolfsonian Museum on Miami Beach, with
70,000 artifacts worth an estimated $75 million. It was donated to the college in 1997 and features a wide
array of objects ranging from high art to pop culture. Four-year degree programs are also available at Barry
University, St. Thomas University, Florida Memorial College and Miami Christian College.

Tourism/Recreation
Known mainly for its trendy nightclubs and oceanfront resorts, Miami-Dade County is also a recognized
center for the fine arts and the performing arts, offering an array of enriching cultural activities. These
include the Miami Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami Art Central, Wolfsonian-FIU, and the
Lowe Art Museum, which are filled with collections and exhibitions from all parts of the world. Broadway
plays, the Repertory Theater, the Philharmonic, the Opera Guild, and a large number of historical
attractions and exhibits are also favorites.
Every year, numerous art festivals make their homes in Miami, including the world-renowned Coconut
Grove Arts Festival and Art Basel.
The Miami Beach Symphony Orchestra and the Greater Miami Opera Association both offer top-notch
performances throughout the year. In addition, the Coconut Grove Playhouse, the Actor’s Playhouse and
the Gusman Center features a variety of plays and dance pieces from local, regional and national troupes.
Medical
According to the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, Miami-Dade County boasts two major medical
networks: the Jackson Health System and Baptist Health South Florida. Jackson Health System, the largest
group of medical services in the Southeastern United States, is assembled in a medical complex just west of
Downtown Miami. At its hub is the University of Miami School of Medicine/Jackson Memorial Medical
Center, ranked in the top 10 of more than 8,000 hospitals in the nation and situated in the city limits of
Miami. In Miami-Dade County alone, there are more than 29,000 health care professionals and 28
hospitals. The extensive network of community hospitals includes: Mount Sinai Medical Center, Columbia
Cedars Medical Center, Hialeah Hospital, Baptist Hospital, Jackson Memorial Hospital, Mercy Hospital and
Miami Children's Hospital.

CONCLUSION
An analysis of South Florida and more specifically, Miami-Dade County, demonstrates that the area has
historically been on a path of growth. Previous population growth is primarily due to in-migration, with the
majority of the migrants coming from within the state, as well as New York, Georgia and international
sources.
With the recession receding, the values of the County’s office, industrial, commercial and residential
properties have recovered substantially, with decreased vacancies appearing in office complexes, industrial
neighborhoods, and shopping centers, and homes increasing in value.
Despite the effects of the recent recession, many of the factors that led to Miami-Dade County’s historical
success remain in place. Therefore, the county will likely continue to grow.

17-216-02 NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
NEIGHBORHOOD MAP
INTRODUCTION
A property is an integral part of its surroundings and must not be treated as an entity separate and apart
from its surroundings. The value of a property is not found exclusively in its physical characteristics;
physical, economic, political and sociological forces in the area interact to give value to a property. In order
to determine the degree of influence extended by these forces on a property, their past and probable
future trends are analyzed. Therefore, in order to form an opinion of the value of a property, an analysis is
made of the area in which the property under study is found. This area is referred to as a neighborhood.
A neighborhood can be a portion of a city, a community or an entire town. It is usually an area which
exhibits a fairly high degree of homogeneity as to use, tenancy and certain other characteristics.
Homogeneity is a state of uniform structure or composition throughout. Therefore, in real estate
terminology, a homogeneous neighborhood is one in which the property types and uses are similar. A
neighborhood is more or less a unified area with somewhat definite boundaries. As a neighborhood's
boundaries serve to limit the physical area that exerts germane influences on a property's value, the
boundaries may indeed run concurrent with variations in prevailing land uses or physical characteristics.
LOCATION
The subject is located on Watson Island on the MacArthur Causeway, just east of Biscayne Boulevard.
17
Jungle Island Hotel
17-216-02 NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
Watson Island serves as the only significant land mass between the City of Miami and Miami Beach. The
MacArthur Causeway traverses Watson Island, and two new bridges connect the island to the mainland.
The island offers excellent views of the Port of Miami to the south, the City of Miami skyline to the
southwest, the Venetian Islands to the north and Palm and Hibiscus Islands to the east.
The Port of Miami is known as the "Cruise Capital of the World”. lt is home to nearly 20 cruise ships, and
has the largest year-round cruise fleet in the world. The Port also handles more "megaships" - vessels
capable of transporting more than 3,000 guests - than any other port in the world. Carnival Cruise Lines,
Norwegian Cruise Line, and Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises all operate exceptional
cruise vessels from the Port of Miami. Since the subject is located directly across the waterway from the
Port of Miami, any development on the site would benefit from the proximity to the cruise terminal.
The Port of Miami is recognized, and has been for many years, as the "Cruise Capital of the World" and
"Cargo Gateway of the Americas". It has retained its status as the number one cruise/passenger port in the
world for well over two decades accommodating the largest cruise ships in the world and the operations of
such major cruise lines as Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line, until the late 2000s, when
Port Everglades was chosen as home to the largest cruise ships in the world, Oasis of the Seas and its sister
ship, Allure of the Seas.
As the "Cargo Gateway of the Americas", the port primarily handles containerized cargo with small
amounts of break bulk, vehicles and industrial equipment. It is the largest container port in the state of
Florida and ninth in the United States. As a world-class port, the Port of Miami is among an elite group of
ports in the world which cater to both cruise ships and containerized cargo.
The Port of Miami is an important contributor to the local south Florida and state economies. Over four
million cruise passengers pass through the Port, 7.4 million tons of cargo and over 1 million twenty-foot
equivalent units (TEU) (FY 2004/2005) of intermodal container traffic move through the seaport per year.
This combination of cruise and cargo activities supports approximately 176,000 jobs, and has an economic
impact in Miami-Dade County of over $17 billion, $14 billion of which is generated by its cargo operations.
The port currently operates eight passenger terminals, six gantry cranes wharves, seven Ro-Ro (Roll-on-
Roll-off) docks, four refrigerated yards for containers, break bulk cargo warehouses and nine gantry
container handling cranes. In addition, the port tenants operate the cruise and cargo terminals which
include their cargo handling and support equipment.
The Port is currently in the final stages of the construction of new tunnel between Watson Island and the
Port. The tunnel will provide direct vehicle access to the interstate highway system for the Port users
bypassing the traffic of downtown Miami. The entrance to the Port of Miami tunnel will be just northeast of
the subject site.
ACCESSIBILITY
Access is via the Mac Arthur Causeway from the City of Miami to the west and from the City of Miami
Beach to the east.
North of the subject is the Venetian Causeway, which connects Biscayne Boulevard to San Marco Island,
San Marino Island, Dilido Island, Rivo Alto Island, and Miami Beach. These islands are dominated by
exclusive waterfront homes. Star Island, Hibiscus Island and Palm Island are located to the east of the
subject, north of the MacArthur Causeway and are home to multimillion-dollar waterfront homes. South of
the subject is the Port of Miami. Southeast of the subject is Fisher Island, a secluded island with mid-rise
condominium and single- family homes, as well as a golf course and country club. The only access to Fisher
Island is by ferry.

The MacArthur Causeway traverses the subject’s neighborhood. This roadway is called 836 and 395 to the
west of Watson Island. This limited access roadway provides access to the Miami International Airport, as
well as South Beach, and the Art Deco District in Miami Beach. With more than 10.1 million’ overnight
guests in 2000, and with many of them accessing Miami Beach via the MacArthur Causeway, the subject is
well located to attract both businesspeople and tourists.
DEVELOPMENT
Watson Island was created by land reclamation in 1926 with material dredged from the ship channel to the
Port of Miami, and was originally named Causeway Island. The island was later named for John W. Watson,
Sr., who was Mayor of Miami 1912-1915 and 1917-1919. The Goodyear Blimp base in Florida was located
on Watson Island for many years. Vestiges of the old base still remain such as the imprint of the mooring
circle and a paved path for a small tram that would transport passengers to the airship.
Plans to develop the island started in the late 1990s and came to fruition when Jungle Island opened its
doors in the summer of 2003. Since then, the Miami Children's Museum relocated to the island and as of
2004. On May 24, 2010, construction began on the Miami Port Tunnel project connecting the Port of Miami
on Dodge Island under the main shipping channel to the MacArthur Causeway on Watson Island. The
tunnel is set to be completed by 2014.
Currently, development on Watson Island consists of Jungle Island, the Miami Children’s Museum and the
construction associated with the Port of Miami tunnel. It was originally named Parrot Jungle and moved
from its original suburban Pinecrest to its present location just east of Downtown Miami renamed as Parrot
Jungle Island. In 2007, the park was again renamed to Jungle Island. The theme park's landmark is its sails
covering the Jungle Theater, an arena where visitors encounter wildlife from all over the world. The entire
facility was planted without the use of any artificial fertilizers or pesticides, making it one of the only
entirely sustainable theme parks or zoos in the United States.
Also located on Watson Island is the Miami Outboard Club which has been located on Watson Island since
1948. It is active in conservation and artificial reef programs, and provides social and educational activities.
The club has boat slips, dry storage, a boat lift, a ramp for jet skis and other small craft, and a restaurant,
bar and internet café. Adjacent to that is the Miami Yacht Club, which has been located on Watson Island
since the late 1940s. It offers youth and adult sailing programs, and sponsors races, regattas and a Sea
Scout ship. The club has boat slips, dry storage, and a lounge, bar and restaurant.
Additional development in the area includes the Miami Worldcenter. Miami Worldcenter is planned to sit
just west of Biscayne Boulevard, within walking distance of the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing
Arts, Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), the new Patricia and Philip Frost Museum of Science and Bayside
Marketplace. Miami Worldcenter will include the Marriott Marquis World Convention Center Hotel, which
will feature approximately 1,800 rooms and 600,000 square feet of convention space. Additionally, All
Aboard Florida (AAF) will be bringing its multi-billion dollar private passenger rail, connecting Orlando to
Miami, immediately adjacent to the site. Set to begin service in 2015, AAF's new grand central station is
estimated to bring five million visitors to the site, and will connect with the existing Metromover and
Metrorail, to create a truly integrated transportation hub. The development will also include 750,000
square feet of retail space as part of Miami Worldcenter's first phase, which is scheduled to break ground in
the fourth quarter of 2014. Current plans call for the retail center to open late 2016. The retail mall is to be
anchored by Bloomingdales and Macy’s who have already signed leases.

LIFE CYCLE
A neighborhood’s life cycle usually consists of four stages:
• Growth - a period during which the neighborhood gains public favor and acceptance
• Stability - a period of equilibrium without marked gains or losses
• Decline - a period of diminishing demand
• Revitalization - a period of renewal, redevelopment, modernization, and increasing demand
Source: The Appraisal of Real Estate, 14th Edition
The neighborhood is well located within Miami-Dade County. Downtown Miami, Miami Beach, Miami
International Airport, and the Port of Miami are all located within 15 minutes driving time from the subject.
The immediate neighborhood offers good accessibility to nearby area amenities, several retail and
residential developments, and other types of support facilities. As previously stated, the age of the
developments in the neighborhood varies from moderately new to relatively old. The overall quality and
condition of the improvements within the area range from fair to excellent. Additionally, there is uniformity
within the area in terms of land usage.
The neighborhood, and surrounding neighborhoods to the east and west, is expected to experience
continued growth and development when and where it is feasible. There are numerous new condominium
and hotel condominium developments occurring in the downtown Miami and Miami Beach neighborhoods,
located to the west and east of Watson Island. A testament to the new development is the number of land
sales that have occurred in the last 12 months in Miami Beach, each with the promise of some type of new
or redevelopment.
Another testament to the neighborhood is the recent sale of the Miami Herald site. In May 2011, the Miami
Herald announced it had sold 14 acres of Biscayne Bay-front land surrounding its headquarters for $236
million, to a Malaysian resort developer, Genting Malaysia Berhad. The buyer initially intended to construct
Resorts World Genting, a multi-building hotel, condominium, conference center and casino project. Those
plans were shelved after a failed attempt to legalize additional gambling in the State of Florida. The owners
have not yet announced their plans for the site. However, it is widely projected that the existing
improvements is in the process of being demolished.

DOWNTOWN/NORTH MIAMI-DADE
The Downtown Miami submarket is similar to the Miami Beach market in that it attracts business travelers,
conventioneers and overnight guests associated with the cruise ship industry. However, unlike the Miami
Beach market, the Downtown Miami market mainly caters to businessmen instead of the tourist trade. The
premier hotels in this market include the JW Marriott, the Inter-Continental, the Hyatt Regency, the
Mandarin Oriental, the Omni and the Marriott. Joining this list are the newly completed Four Seasons, and
the recently completed Conrad Hotel.
The North Miami-Dade hotel submarket is primarily derived from business travelers, groups, transient
guests and some tourists. The majority of the hotels in this submarket are limited-service properties or mid-
priced full-service properties, which offer food and beverage services. There are a limited number of
upscale, full-service hotels within this submarket.
MIAMI BEACH
The Miami Beach market consists primarily of business travelers, conventioneers, tourists and some
overnight guests associated with the cruise ship industry. The Miami Beach Convention Center is a
renovated and expanded facility that now provides more than one million square feet of meeting and
exhibit space. To support this new facility, the City of Miami Beach continues to seek new hotel
development. Older properties, especially in the Art Deco District, continue to be renovated by investors.
The premier hotels on Miami Beach are the Fontainebleau and the Loews convention hotel. More recent
additions to the Miami Beach market are the Royal Palm Crowne Plaza, The Shore Club, The Ritz Carlton
DiLido, The W Hotel, and the Setai.
SOUTH MIAMI-DADE
The South Miami-Dade submarket is composed mainly of business travelers and vacationers. Coral Gables
and Coconut Grove represent a major office corridor within Miami-Dade County, which attracts numerous
business travelers. Additionally, this submarket encompasses a number of the county’s premier lodging
facilities such as: The Biltmore, The Grand Bay, The Hyatt, The Omni, The Mayfair, the Ritz Carlton Key
Biscayne and the Sonesta Beach Resort. Key Biscayne attracts a number of tourists each year who come
specifically to Key Biscayne. The Ritz Carlton Coconut Grove joined these hotels in the first quarter of 2002.
AIRPORT/CIVIC CENTER
The final hotel market in Miami-Dade County is the Airport/Civic Center market. This market boasts the
newest and most competitive inventory, as well as the widest variety of quality type hotels. The airport
market caters primarily to overnight stays for businessmen and overnight stays for tourists waiting for
plane or ship transfers.
This market consists of a mixture of high-end, middle of the road and budget properties. At the high-end,
the market includes the Intercontinental, Marriott, Hilton, Hotel Sofitel, Embassy Suites and Radisson Mart
Plaza Hotel. The middle of the market consists of several Holiday Inn, Marriott Courtyard and Ramada
Hotel. The budget or lower end of the market is composed of the Howard Johnson motel, Quality Inn,
Fairfield Inn and Days Inn.
Prior to 1998, there were very few, if any high quality hotels in the Miami market. Since the Loews Hotel
with 948 rooms opened in December of 1998, there have been a number of high-end hotels that have
decided to open for business in Miami. These include three Ritz Carlton hotels, (Key Biscayne, Coconut
Grove and Miami Beach), the Four Seasons, the Setai, the Bentley Beach Hotel, the Conrad by Hilton, the
Mandarin Oriental, the JW Marriott, the Shore Club, the Trump Ocean Grand among other less luxurious
brands.

DOWNTOWN HOTEL SUBMARKET
Briefly described, the site is estimated to consist of approximately 104,093 SF or 2.39± acres of uplands
located in the southern portion of the Jungle Island site on Watson Island, in Miami, Miami-Dade County,
Florida. The site is owned by the City of Miami. According to the developer, the site is proposed for a 300
room hotel, plus 10,000 SF of retail space and 30,000 SF of meeting/banquet space. There are no plans or
square footage estimates for the hotel presented by the developer. The appraiser estimated a total gross
building area including the hotel, retail, meeting space and parking to be 346,000 SF. The subject is zoned
CS Civic Space, under Zoning Ordinance Miami 21, per the City of Miami.

According to a Miami Hearld article among the top 25 markets in the country, Miami-Dade was one of two
(the other was Houston, Texas) to report decreases across three key hotel metrics, according to a report
from data and analytics firm STR, which tracks hotel performance.
Supply, or the number of new hotel rooms, is the lead perpetrator of Miami-Dade’s declining numbers,
Miami-based hotel consultant Scott Brush said. The region welcomed a 4.2 percent increase in hotel rooms
in 2016, a giant leap in a local hotel business that already has more than 50,000 hotel rooms. (Nationally,
cities welcomed 1.6 percent new hotel rooms on average.)
But demand for those rooms has not kept pace. Room nights sold grew by 1.4 percent on average in 2016,
causing other metrics to decline.
Other factors, chiefly Zika and Airbnb, hacked away at Miami-Dade’s performance, too.
Over the summer, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an unprecedented travel warning
to the region. Hotels across Miami-Dade experienced a drop in bookings; one reported experiencing its
three worst weeks in 15 years.
46
Jungle Island Hotel
17-216-02 MARKET ANALYSIS
That impact may have dripped into the fall months, Brush said. Hotel room occupancy, the average daily
rate and revenue per available room went negative during the last five months of the year. Room nights
sold were down between October to December.
“Zika impact probably hurt conventions and meetings more than it hurt the individual tourist because if
you’re a meeting coordinator you don’t want to be the guy known as setting up a meeting in a Zika-infested
whatever,” Brush said.
Meanwhile, the popularity of Airbnb and other short-term rental platforms has been on the rise. According
to a separate STR report released last week, Airbnb has impacted hotels, though the extent is not yet
quantifiable. In Miami-Dade, Airbnb was responsible for 3.6 percent of total room nights sold in the overall
hotel industry from July 2015 and July 2016.
Scott Berman, Miami-based industry leader for hospitality and leisure at PwC, said local hotel managers are
worried about home sharing platforms.
Another point of concern is the international markets that typically feed Miami. Many countries in Latin
American and Europe faced economic challenges in 2016. At the same time, the U.S. dollar strengthened,
making Miami more expensive for foreigners. Four of the top five markets fueling Miami are outside the
U.S., according to the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau.)
Travel to Miami International Airport painted the picture: Traffic from No.1 international market Brazil
declined by 30 percent. The number of Canadian visitors, the No. 2 international market according to the
tourism bureau, declined by 10 percent. Passenger traffic began to drop in August and continued on a
decline through November, plunging as much as 7 percent in October. (The airport has not yet released
figure for December.) Although scraping through for a tiny overall passenger increase of 0.53 percent over
2015, the airport experienced its weakest growth rate since 2009.
There are numerous financing vehicles available for hotel development and are numerous proposed hotels
moving toward development.
The hotels that were included in the Market Analysis represent some hotels that are either on par with, or

The following table summarizes the properties that are considered direct competition for the subject.

I surveyed seven hotels in the subject’s market to determine quoted room rates for the subject. The quoted
room rates range from $75 to $475. The upper end of the range is represented by suites. The most similar
properties to the subject are the Marriott Biscayne Bay and Doubletree Hilton Grand.
I provided information pertaining to other hotels in the subject’s market that directly compete with the
subject. Although these hotels represent the subject’s primary competitors, they display a range of lodging
types and facilities. The comparables include limited service, full service and suite hotels and range in size
from 200 to 641 rooms. The subject, proposed for 300 rooms, falls within the range of the competitors in
terms of size.
Next is to determine the percentage relationship of each market segment to the whole for each of the
competitive facilities. As previously stated, the market's overall room night demand must be divided into
individual market segments. In the lodging activity approach, market segmentation is accomplished during
the competitive interviews by asking questions about the percentage each market segment contributes to
the whole.
When quantifying demand based on lodging activity, it is necessary to determine the room counts of all the
competitive hotels. This information can be obtained from each property or from various directories.
The ADR’s and Occupancies were estimated by the consultant, based upon discussions with each of the
properties, other knowledgeable parties in the market and a Trend Report by Smith Travel Research, on the
Primary Competitors.
A study obtained from Smith Travel Research shows average room rates and occupancy rates for the main
competitive set of properties. This study includes all nine primary competitors. The trends are from January
2011 through December 2016 and are summarized on the following graph.
ADR’s and Occupancies for each individual hotel was estimated by the appraiser from discussions with
people in the market.

As can be seen by the previous chart, ADR has shown a 5.40% compounded annual increase from 2011 to
2016. ADR only increased 1.00% from 2015 to 2016. Occupancy jumped from 79.3% in 2011 to 84.6% in
2014. Occupancy slipped from 84.5% in 2015 to 79.0% in 2016. RevPar has shown a steady increase from
2011 to 2015, with a 5.45% decrease from 2015 to 2016.
The projected occupancies for the proposed subject range from a low of 67% in its opening year, to an
average of 80% upon stabilization in the third year of operation. Because the hotel has a commercial and
leisure orientation, it should perform at a somewhat higher occupancy than purely commercial properties,
and will probably achieve occupancy levels at the low end of the comparable mid-priced hotels. Based on
this analysis, a stabilized occupancy of between 79% to 84% is considered appropriate for the proposed
subject.
The subject’s competitive set RevPAR increased 37.2% or 8.23% compounded annually from 2011 to 2015.
However, the RevPAR decreased 5.45% from 2015 to 2016.
The competitive set, Miami-Dade County market and Downtown Miami hotels show occupancies of 79.0%,
75.9% and 74.8% for 2016. As stated earlier, the average occupancy for the competitive set over the past
six years is 81.2%. The subject should achieve 67% occupancy in the first year of operation, 75% in the
second year of operation, then stabilize at 80% occupancy in the third year of operation.
The competitive set, Miami-Dade County market and Downtown Miami hotels show ADR’s of $174.93,
$189.77 and $195.99 for 2016. As stated earlier, the average ADR for the competitive set in 2016 was
$174.93 and over the past six years is $159.32.
The estimate of ADR for the subject today is $175 and occupancy of 80%.

Hotels generate income from room revenue, but also from food and beverage sales, and other income
sources. We also projected the subject’s total revenue, based on actual performance statistics of full service
hotels in the subject’s area. The following chart summarizes the percentage of income that comes from the
various components of a full service hotel. The source is 2016 Annual Smith Travel Hospitality Trends.

Based on the information provided, we conclude the subject’s hotel will generate approximately 60% of the
total hotel revenue from the sale of room nights. The remaining income of 40% is projected to come from
ancillary income such as food and beverage, banquet room rentals, telecommunications and other
departments.
The subject is to include 300 hotel rooms, 10,000 SF of retail space and 30,000 SF of meeting and banquet
space.

The total projected revenue for the hotel at the subject is calculated as follows.
Luxury Hotel Per Room Total
Rooms 1 300
Room Nights 365 109,500
ADR $175.00 $150.00
Occupancy 80.00% 80.00%

Ancillary Revenue 40% $10,220,000
Total Revenue $25,550,000
For future market share projections, we determined that there would be an increase in supply over the
next ten years in the subject’s submarket to meet increasing demand from tourists and population
increases. Our research in the market revealed several projects that will be competitive to the subject
property. According the Miami-Dade County Convention and Visitors Bureau, there are over 7,700
additional rooms that should come on-line within the next 12 to 48 months for Miami-Dade County. These
hotel rooms may or may not directly compete with the subject. Given their distant proximity to the subject
and amenities, these hotels will offer only some competition for the subject. The subject is a limited service
hotel, with small meeting space. Based upon the comparables surveyed, as well as the future supply and
demand for hotels in the Miami-Dade County market, I am of the opinion that the subject should be able to
obtain its fair share of the room nights sold among its competitors.

VALUATION METHODOLOGIES
The subject’s market rental rate will be determined via two methods.
The first method will estimate the gross rental income that will be generated by the hotel. A market derived
factor will then be applied to determine the appropriate rental rate for the underlying land.
The second method will estimate the value associated with the additional development rights. This method
will analyze the amount that developers have paid for the development rights at other sites in the subject’s
area. Once a market derived price/FLR has been determined, we will then multiply that value by a market
derived land capitalization rate, to determine an appropriate rental rate for the subject.
As of the date of the report, the subject is vacant land available for development. For the purposes of this
report, the market rent will be determined based on the use of the subject as a mixed use development.

Jungle Island Hotel
17-216-02 LAND RENT METHOD 1
The first method will estimate the gross rental income that will be generated by the two components. A
market derived factor will then be applied to determine the appropriate rental rate for the underlying land.
First we will estimate the revenue that can expect to be generated from the additional hotel rooms. Then
we will estimate the revenue that can expect to be generated from the retail space.
Hotel Rooms
Within the Market Analysis, we estimated the total revenue from the hotel operations will be as follows:
Luxury Hotel Revenue $25,550,000
Percentage Rents
We have researched other municipality owned properties (land) that are leased to the developer or owner
of the improved property. We are attempting to determine the appropriate percentages to apply to the
subject’s various development components, as percentage rent that will be paid to the City of Miami for
the rights to the underlying site.
Case Study 1
Grove Key Marina and Scotty’s Landing (Restaurant and Marina)
The site is owned by the City of Miami and is leased to a lessee (Grove Key Marina) and a sub-lessee
(Scotty's Landing Bar). In early 2012, the City of Miami published a request for proposals (RFP) for bids on a
new, 40-year lease on the property. A substantial tenant improvement is required in the RFP as the city
seeks a state-of-the-art marina and bar. The winning bidder must make required minimum renovations
including renovating the hangars, pavement, and bar kitchen, and repairing the dock and seawall. In
exchange, the lease would be long-term, 40 years, with a 10-year renewal option.
Per the RFP, the successful proposer must pay a minimum base rent and percentage rent. Some of the
City's proposed lease details are as follows:
Minimum Annual Rent: $500,000 and:
Percentage Rent:
Marina Operations Minimum 15% of gross revenue
Bar/Restaurant Sales Minimum 10% of gross revenue
Marine Fueling Facility Minimum 10% of gross revenue
The RFP call for substantially higher minimum annual rent and a higher percentage of sales from the
revenue generating components on the site.
Case Study 2
Biscayne Landing (Mixed Use Project Retail/Office/Residential)
The site is owned by the City of North Miami and is leased to a lessee (Oleta Partners, LLC). The lease was
negotiated in 2012 and is based on a proposed build out of the 183.8 acre site with approximately 900,000
SF of retail, hotel, residential and recreational space. The ground lease is for 99 years, NNN, with increases
in the base rental rate of 15% every ten years. The lease calls for development deadlines for the
construction of the project, a public park and community center and future rights to developable land with
participation in the revenues from this property. Some of the lease details are as follows:
Base Rent: $1,500,000
Percentage Rent:
Residential Revenues 1.75% of gross revenue
Retail Revenues 1.75% of gross revenue
Hotel Revenues 2.25% of gross revenue
Sales (Condo or ALF Units) 3.25% or gross revenues

Case Study 3
Village of Merrick Park (Mixed Use Retail/Office/Residential)
This is a mixed use project on an 18± acre site located in the City of Coral Gables. Coral Gables has a 99
year ground lease in place with the developer of the property with a base rent of $300,000 with increases
of $50,000 every 10 years. The city receives 10% of the property’s net cash flow as percentage rent and has
received approximately $90,000 to $100,000 in additional rent from this percentage rent clause. The city is
also entitled to any proceeds from any sale or refinance in the amount of 10% of the net proceeds.
The residential component was subleased to a residential developer at the onset of the project. The city is
entitled to only the revenues from the retail and office components.
Case Study 4
Biltmore Hotel (Hotel)
There is a 99 year ground lease in place between the City of Coral Gables and the current hotel operator
that calls for rental payments of 3.5% of net hotel revenues.
Case Study 5 (Subject)
Jungle Island (Entertainment)
This property is a tourist attraction that is situated on a waterfront site on Watson Island, off of downtown
Miami’s mainland. The site is approximately 18.61 acres and is developed with a $50,000,000 attraction and
convention venue. The development was built in 2003 with the City of Miami providing the underlying site,
via a ground lease for 60 years, with options. The lease calls for base yearly payments of the greater of
$500,000 or 5.0% of gross revenues up $20,000,000 and 6% over that break point from the attraction and
other revenue generating sources within the attraction.
Jungle Island negotiated in the past for 13.0 more acres adjacent to the Jungle Island property to develop
with a retail and hotel component. They offered fixed rental payments during the construction period with
5% of gross revenues after the completion of the construction. If approved, after the completion of the
construction, the base rent for the entire property would increase to $750,000 and the existing 60 year
lease will roll into a 99 year lease.
Case Study 6
Bayside Marketplace (Retail and Parking Garage)
This property is an 18.72 acre site that is developed with an open-air festival retail center with 1,200
parking spaces in two five-story parking structures. The site features a waterfront location in Miami’s CBD.
The City of Miami owns the underlying land and leased the site to Bayside Center Partnership in 1985.
There is a 45 ground lease, with two 15-year options, between the City of Miami and Bayside Center
Partnership that calls for a base annual rent of the greater of $1,540,000. In addition, the developer will pay
6% of gross receipts over the initial breakpoint of $25,659,000. The Skyrise Tower rent will be $1,059,082
per year. In addition, the developer will pay 1% of gross receipts over the initial breakpoint of $55,000,000.
There is a separate lease on the parking structure that calls for a similar lease term with a 675,000, plus an
additional $241,920 base rent upon completion of the second garage. These rents can increase at the CPI
each year.

The Palace at Coral Gables (Residential)
The Palace at Coral Gables is a 240-unit senior housing community located just south of Miracle Mile in
Coral Gables. This 0.75± acre site is leased from the City of Coral Gables for a base rent of $237,500
annually with percentage rents of 2.0% of property revenues. The city is entitled to 10% of any net
proceeds from any sale or refinance of the property.
Additional Comparables
With regards to the subject’s rental rate, it is noted that there are a number of City of Miami waterfront
developments in Miami-Dade County that are leased with the property’s rental rate stipulated on a base
amount, base amount plus percentage rent, percentage rent or the greater of percentage rent or base rent.
Detailed as follows is information regarding several comparables within the market.
Comparable Base Rent % Rent
Confidential $320,000 and 10% of gross receipts
Bayshore – Monty’s $277,586 and 15% of gross receipts
Miami Yacht Club $49,080 and 9.0% of gross revenue in excess of $380,000
Miami Outboard Club $35,004 and 10.0% of Gross revenue in excess of $120,000 for
restaurant
Coconut Grove Sail Club $30,000 or 7.5% of gross revenues
Grove Harbour Marina $550,000 or 15% of gross revenue for marina
10% of gross revenue for boatyard
10% of gross revenue for restaurants
5% of gross revenue for service/fuel
Rickenbacker $360,000 and 15.00% of gross revenues for wet slips
12.00% of gross revenues for dry slips
Increasing by 1% after 4.5 years
The Rusty Pelican lease, along the Rickenbacker Causeway, stipulates that it will pay base rent of
$360,000/year plus a variable percentage rate, starting at 2.5% and rising to a maximum of 8% of gross
revenues over sales of $12,000,000.
The New Spanish Concepts lease states that they will pay a minimum annual rent of $57,375 plus 11% over
a $2,200,000 breakpoint.
CONCLUSION
We have concluded that, in general, percentage rents are based on the gross retail revenues generated by a
property rather than the net operating income. The calculation of the gross retail rent is generally a less
subjective figure as the number represents the total collections of rent by the property owner, and does
not consider operating expenses or any other type of obligations.
The comparables offer a wide array of rental scenarios, with some tenants paying a percentage of gross
revenue, others paying a percentage of net revenue. Some other tenants pay a base rent, plus percentage
rent, or a base rent plus percentage rent over a breakpoint. Some other tenants pay varying percentage
rents based on the type of use, typically with a higher percentage for higher margin activities. For parcels
where the lessee is required to incur significant construction costs, the rents tend to be lower than for
properties where the improvements already are in existence, or little or no improvements are required.

Jungle Island Hotel
17-216-02 LAND RENT METHOD 1
One of the most recent lease comparable properties is the subject Jungle Island, who is offering to pay 5%
of gross revenue after the completion of construction. They plan to operate retail space and hotel rooms on
the leased land. This is the developer’s offer, and would represent the minimum percentage rent that
would be expected in the market. The upper end of the comparables would be the Rusty Pelican lease
which stipulates rents going up to 8% of gross revenue, for sales above $12,000,000/year. Based on these
comparables, we conclude to a rental rate in the range of 5% to 8%.
The subject will require a significant amount of input by the land lessee with the construction of the hotel
buildings and the retail space. The property will not generate any income without the developer’s
construction expenditures. Therefore, due to the high level of cost incurred by the developer, we conclude
the appropriate rental rate for the underlying land would be toward the lower end of the previously
established range.
We have concluded that it would be market oriented for the tenant to pay a percentage of gross revenues
of between 5% and 6%. We conclude to 5.50% of gross revenue. Many leases are established with a
minimum base rent, plus an additional percentage after the property achieves success in the market. We
will conclude to a structure with an established base rent, plus an additional rent that is based on total
percentage of gross sales.
We conclude the base rent for the subject would equate to 5.50% of gross revenue, plus percentage rent
equal to 1% of gross revenue over a breakeven point of $25,550,000. The base rental revenue is assumed to
grow at CPI, every 5 years. Base lease term is 99 years with a reevaluation every five years.

Financing Terms
The financing terms for each sale are shown in the adjustment grid. The subject is valued in this report on
the basis of a cash to seller transaction. No adjustments for financing terms were made to the sales.
Conditions of Sale
The conditions of sale for each sale are shown in the adjustment grid. The subject is valued in this report on
the basis of an arm's length transaction. No adjustments for conditions of sale were made to the sales.
Market Conditions
In terms of an adjustment for market conditions, from the sales shown, it is somewhat subjective to
determine an exact adjustment. We have applied a 0% adjustment to each comparable, annualized from
the date of each sale to June 19, 2017.
Location
The adjustment for location reflects the trend that properties in areas of active growth and development,
as well as those which offer good accessibility in terms of frontage on major thoroughfares, should sell for a
higher price per SF than properties which do not offer these attributes, with all other factors held constant.
The subject is located on Watson Island along the MacArthur Causeway, which travels to Miami Beach.
Sales 1, 2 and 3 are all ocean front parcels located in Miami Beach. All are considered superior in location to
the subject and are adjusted downward.
Sales 4, 5, 6 and 7 are all located along Biscayne Boulevard in the Edgewater District of Miami. These sales
are all considered inferior in location and are adjusted upward.
Size
In terms of size, it is noted that smaller parcels typically sell for a higher price per SF than larger parcels,
with all other factors held constant. The subject consists of 2.39 acres or 104,093 SF.
Sales 1 and 4 are similar in size to the subject and are not adjusted. Sales 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 are all smaller than
the subject and are adjusted downward.
Zoning
The subject’s site is zoned "CS", Civic Space, under the jurisdiction of City of Miami, FL.
The only information provided in regard to the construction of the hotel is that it will have 300 rooms, plus
10,000 SF of retail space and 30,000 SF of meeting/convention space. The hotel is reportedly to be
constructed where the current parking garage exists at the south side of the site.

14-200-02 Island Gardens LAND VALUE
We are of the opinion that an appropriate FLR value for the subject should be between $65/FLR to
$100/FLR. Due to the subject’s unique location and the types of development that been taking place in the
subject’s immediate market, including the proposed development on the former Miami Herald Site, the
World Center Miami site, the proposed addition to Jungle Island, and the continued revitalization of the
Miami CBD, we have concluded to the upper end of the range. This is based on the subject’s location,
access and visibility and quality and condition of the surrounding neighborhood. Therefore, we conclude
the subject site has a value of $80.00/FLR.
Now that we have determined the value associated with the FLR that will be afforded the site, we can apply
a market derived land capitalization rate to determine an appropriate rental rate for the overall site.

17-216-02 LAND RENT METHOD 2
Based on the comparables, we have concluded that an appropriate overall rate for the subject should be at
the lower end of the range due to the proposed quality of the development and the strength of the
subject’s market, for retail and hotel. After the construction completion, the income flow from the
components is projected to rise annually with CPI based increases in rental rates and improving levels of
occupancy. There is significant potential for rising income to the investor based on the proposed terms of
the lease. Therefore, we have concluded to an overall rate toward the lower end of the range indicated by
the comparables.
Based on the comparables and the adjustments made to them, we conclude to a value in the range of
$70.00 /SF to $100.00 /SF. We conclude to $80.00/SF.
Land Value Conclusion $80.00 /SF
Multiplied by Subject Size 346,000 SF
Indicated Land Value $27,680,000
We have concluded to an overall rate for the subject of 5.00% which is in line with the comparables. We
have calculated a market rental rate for the subject as follows:
The land value of the subject is calculated as follows:
FLR $/FLR Land Value
Total Building Area 346,000 $80.00 $27,680,000
Capitalization Rate 5.00%
Land Rent $1,384,000
Rent/FLR $4.00
Site Size 104,093
Rent/SF Land $13.30
The base rental revenue is assumed to grow at CPI, every 5 years. Base lease term is 99 years with a
reevaluation every five years. All rent conclusions assume annual increases at CPI and also assume the
developer (Jungle Island) would be responsible for the payment of all ad valorem and non ad valorem
property taxes and assessments levied on the property.

17-216-02 RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE
The purpose of the appraisal is to provide our opinion of the fair market rent with any overages and
percentage rents of the unencumbered fee simple interest in the underlying land.
Hotel Per Room Total
Rooms 1 300
Room Nights 365 109,500
ADR $175.00 $175.00
Occupancy 80.00% 80.00%
RevPAR $140.00 $140.00
Total Room Revenue $51,100 $15,330,000
Ancillary Revenue 40% $10,220,000
Total Revenue $25,550,000
Ground Rent Percent 5.50%
Ground Rent $1,405,000
The subject’s market rental rate was determined via two methods. The first method estimated the income
that will be generated by the various components. In order to determine an estimate of the revenue that
would be generated by the hotel, we surveyed similar type hotel facilities. After concluding to a projected
average rate, we deducted an appropriate vacancy factor, to arrive at a projected revenue of hotel.
Once the projected revenue was determined for the hotel, we then presented data pertaining to the
percentage rental rates that are paid at other properties located on leased land in South Florida. After
analyzing these comparables, we established a reasonable factor (a percentage rent) that would be applied
to the projected revenue. This same percentage rental factor would also be applied to the gross revenue
that either component would generate over and above the projected base revenue. Our conclusion
assumes the payment of a base rent, increased annually at CPI, plus a percentage rent.
The second method estimated the value associated with the development rights. This method analyzed the
price/FLR that developers have historically paid for the development rights at other sites in the subject’s
area. Once a market derived price/FAR has been determined, then a value associated with the subject’s
additional rights was calculated. We then multiplied that value/FLR by a market derived land capitalization
rate, to determine an appropriate rental rate for the subject.
After considering both methods, we conclude the percentage rent method (Method 1) is more appropriate
when determining the market rent for the additional hotel rooms and retail space. This method allows for a
base rent, plus additional rent in the future, in the event that revenues are greater than are currently
projected. Given the long term nature of most land leases, this method is also most common in the
marketplace. The second method, which estimated rent based on the current value of development rights
($/FLR) was used as a check on the first method, and serves as a test on the conclusions reached in the first
method.

17-216-02 RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE
After an inspection of the subject, and analysis of pertinent physical and economic factors that affect value,
we are of the opinion that the 'as is' fair market rent and terms of the unencumbered fee simple interest
for a proposed 300 room hotel with 10,000 SF of retail space and 30,000 SF of meeting space, to be placed
in the southern portion of Jungle Island, to be paid to the City by Jungle Island, as of June 19, 2017, is:
Rent $1,390,000
1% over a $25,550,000 Breakeven
Percentage Rent Point
Term 99 Years
Escalations CPI Every 5 Years
ReEvaluation Every 5 Years
The percentage rent is based on gross revenue and assumes a breakpoint of $25,550,000 and is in addition
to the stated base rent. The base rent conclusions assume increases at CPI every 5 years and also assume
the tenant (Jungle Island) would be responsible for the payment of all ad valorem and non ad valorem
property taxes and assessments levied on the property. No consideration is given for the construction
period and any rent abatement during the construction period; not the lease-up or future stabilization of
the income streams from the various components. We were not provided with building or site plans. We
make the assumption that all construction will be of similar quality to the comparables noted in this report
The use of the aforementioned Extraordinary Assumptions might have affected the assignment results. The
