Property One 1297 South Main, Windsor, Parcel No.080720222002, Acct No.R3915705 Property One is a single story mixed use retail/office building constructed in 2003 at a cost of$679,856 including land. Two tenants occupied approximately 3,149 of the buildings 7,926 rentable square feet. The balance of the space has remained vacant since its completion in February, 2003. During this period the remaining portions of the building have been actively marketed with little interest irrespective of price.. Net rental rates have been discounted from an initial $13.50 to $10.00 per square foot. A proposal to lease a portion of the building at $8.00 was unsuccessful. The unoccupied space is basic core and shell only and all finish, included the concrete slab, must be completed prior to any rental. The Windsor market for unanchored retail space has been extremely soft. Attempts to sell the property to a user or investor have been unsuccessful. Competing space on Main has been offered for $8.00 per foot. Suite 7, a finished portion of the building that was previously vacated, was leased in January, 2006 for $8.00 per foot under a triple net lease. We have valued the property under the income approach. Income from vacant spaces was projected based on an $8.00 per square foot market rate as evidenced above. This projected income stream, after allowances for stabilized vacancies and management and reserve costs, was capitalized at 9.5%. This capitalization rate reflects the over built condition of the market. Based on our analysis we believe the fair value of the property to be $615,100 and request that the current year actual value be reduced from $775,720. Property Two 1293 South Main, Windsor, Parcel No.080720209004, Acct No.R7102398 Property two is a single story mixed use retail/office building constructed in 1998 for a cost of $586,557. Three tenants occupied 4,729 of the 7,454 rentable square feet of the building. A 2,725 square foot space has been vacant since March of 2004. All leases are triple net with operating expenses ranging from $5.83 to $6.84 per square foot. Competing properties operating expense are generally from $4.50-$5.00 per square foot. The building was valued under the income approach assuming the vacancy could be leased at $8 per square foot based on a 9.5% capitalization rate (see discussion above). This space has been offered at that rate and remains vacant. The result was then adjusted for a vacancy factor and for a repair and replacement reserve and ownership costs. Based on our analysis we believe the fair value of the property to be $864,200 and request that the current year actual cash value be reduced from $916,320. Property Three 1293 South Main, Windsor, Parcel No.080720209005, Acct No.R7102498 Property three is a single story mixed use retail/office building constructed in 1995 consisting of 10,896 rentable square feet. Four tenants occupied 6,836 square feet. The balance of the space is vacant. All leases are triple net with operating expenses of$5.77 being paid by tenants. Competing properties operating expenses generally range from $4.50-$5.00 per square foot. The building was valued under the income approach assuming the vacancy could he leased at $8 per square foot based on a 9.5% capitalization rate (see discussion above). This space has been offered at that rate and remains vacant. The result was then adjusted for a vacancy factor and for a repair and replacement reserve and ownership costs Based on our analysis we believe the fair value of the property to be $1,079,000 and request that the current year actual value be reduced from $1,334,000.
