Executive SummaryBriar Ridge Subdivision represents an opportunity to develop a total of 130 lots in a neighborhood that is adjacent to the Roswell Country Club and located just north of Roswell’s city limits.

This is a residential development opportunity with strong upside potential. Why Roswell? Roswell is on the move and is poised for growth. This mid-sized city is home to 38,484 residents. Roswell is the fifth largest city in the state and the largest population hub in southeastern New Mexico. Roswell’s population grew by 6.8% between 2000 and 2010, ranking it in the top ten fastest growing cities in the state. As the Chaves County seat, Roswell serves a much broader residential base than the city’s population numbers imply.

Roswell has some of New Mexico’s top performing public schools. It has been home to the well-respected New Mexico Military Academy since 1891. Eastern New Mexico University maintains a campus on Roswell’s south end. Roswell’s two hospitals are the only major healthcare providers in the region.

Roswell has invested aggressively in its transportation infrastructure to secure its position as southeastern New Mexico’s transportation hub. The Roswell International Air Center offers daily flights to and from Dallas/Ft. Worth. Roswell is serviced by Southwestern Railroad, Inc., which ties into the national BNSF network, the second largest freight rail network in North America. This rail spur provides local manufacturers with direct access to the national railroad grid.

Livestock, agriculture and the dairy industry play a major role in Chaves County’s economy, but Roswell has diversified to include manufacturing, healthcare and food processing. It is the rising center of New Mexico’s aviation industry and fifth overall in oil and gas production in the state.

Economic initiatives are bringing jobs to Roswell and growing the local economy. The U.S. State Department and Homeland Security Department each have training centers there.

Executive Summary (continued)Several recent announcements further brighten Roswell’s economic outlook.

In the second half of 2013, the aircraft salvage and recycling company, Stewart Industries, expanded its operations at the Roswell International Air Center to include aircraft maintenance and repair services. It is actively hiring.

In September 2013, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held in honor of Roswell’s modernized rail facility and new rail spur. This public-private project greatly enhances Roswell’s shipping capacity and strengthens future opportunities for the Roswell Air Center, according to Michael Vickers, director of Roswell’s city planning and zoning department.

On February 28, 2014, Aerospace International, Inc. selected Roswell as the site of its drone pilot training center.

On March 3, 2014, New Mexico eliminated the sales tax on commercial planes to go into effect in July 2014. “This will create jobs and encourage growth in the Roswell Air Center and in New Mexico’s aviation industry,” said Dale Mullinex, vice president of operations for Stewart Industries.

On March 25, 2014, AG-Power predicted that it will begin operating its new Roswell biofuel plant in six months.

Demand for new homes is on the rise in Roswell. French Brothers, the New Mexico contractor responsible for Roswell’s new home communities of Tijmor, Sorrento and Clover Meadow, has already built out 50% of one and is approaching 70% on another. The French Brothers’ newest community is a modestly-priced development located in Roswell’s 88202 zip code. Over 50% of the first phase has been sold. When it opens the second phase, we estimate this action will bring another 31 lots on the market.

Executive Summary (continued)“People seem to be buying new homes as fast as they can build them,” says one long-time Roswell real estate broker.

Briar Ridge Subdivision has several unique advantages. These include:

Briar Ridge’s Subdivision borders the Roswell Country Club.Because of its proximity to the Roswell Country Club, Briar Ridge Subdivision has the advantage of green space. The country club’s mature trees and modest-sized lake are visible from several home sites. Residents will have the ready access to golf, tennis and swimming. This location is unique in Roswell, and it helps to differentiate Briar Ridge Subdivision from similar new home communities in the area.

• Parts of Briar Ridge Subdivision are shovel-ready. The lots are platted, a significant percentage of roads and improvements are in place with utilities near these home sites.

Briar Ridge Subdivision’s design allows for gated communities.The current layout offers the opportunity to create gated points of entry within the development. This secured entry will offer home buyers and residents peace of mind, and differentiate the development from other new home communities.

The existing dwellings in Briar Ridge Subdivision were built in the early1980s. They are a mix of single-family homes, townhomes and a professionally managed apartment complex. The dwellings are well-maintained and show pride of ownership. The pricing reflects the need for a modest investment to resurface roads, create a sense of entry, and landscape common areas. These upgrades will increase Briar Ridge Subdivision’s value and appeal.

It is a modest investment that should yield a lucrative return. “Roswell is poised to experience unprecedented growth since its incorporation as a city in 1903,” says Michael Vickers. Should Roswell city’s planning director prove right, demand for quality new homes will only grow.

New Home Demand IndicatorsThe French Brothers’ success with their three new residential communities, detailed on the following pages, demonstrates that there is demand for quality, mid-range priced homes in Roswell. Overall, the city’s inventory of single-family homes is aging. Homes built within the last ten years make up less than 10% of Roswell’s housing stock.

Briar Ridge SubdivisionStrengths, Opportunities &Constraints

Strengths Briar Ridge features proximity to the

golf course, the historic downtown and other major points of interest and employment.

The existing homes in Briar Ridge show pride of ownership.

Briar Ridge Subdivision is ready to be developed.

Roswell has good schools and medical facilities.

Roswell is the largest city in southeastern New Mexico.

Opportunities Roswell’s new home inventory is

lagging behind demand.

Roswell is fifth in the state in oil and gas production. Over 30 oil and gas companies are headquartered or have offices in Roswell.

Roswell is emerging as a regional manufacturing and service center, which will grow the population and increase demand for housing.

Constraints Several Briar Ridge lots,

not included in this package, have yet to be built upon.

Roswell’s economy is still in the early stages of growth.


30


Briar Ridge SubdivisionHighlightsBriar Ridge represents a unique opportunity for a phased development in a desirable location adjacent to the Roswell Country Club. It is 10 minutes to Roswell’s historic downtown, 2.6 miles to Lovelace Regional Hospital-Roswell, 2.7 miles to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center, and approximately 20 minutes to the Roswell International Air Center and Eastern New Mexico’s Roswell campus. The neighborhood’s existing design and limited access make it feasible to implement gated points of entry for the neighborhood as a whole or select areas within the development. As Roswell upgrades its transportation infrastructure, expands oil production, and builds momentum as a regional manufacturing hub, the city is poised for economic expansion. The success of the French Brothers’ new residential communities demonstrates that demand for new homes is on the rise. Recent economic initiatives should only strengthen this need. The bulk of Roswell’s single-family inventory is aging and lacks today’s standard amenities that home buyers have come to expect. A new home development, like Briar Ridge Subdivision, will fulfill a need in the Roswell residential market place.
