TH E OPPORTU N ITYCBRE has been retained as the exclusive agent of The

Owner to arrange the disposition of a portfolio of

29 Class A office buildings located in the suburban

Philadelphia marketplace (“The Portfolio”).

The Portfolio consists of a series of Class A suburban

office buildings totaling 1.6 million square feet

that are located in four major submarkets along

or adjacent to interchanges of the Pennsylvania

Turnpike, (I-276), I-95 or the Northeast Extension

of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-476): Lehigh Valley,

Fort Washington, Horsham, and Bucks County.

The Portfolio is 86% leased and offers an

investor/operator the opportunity to have an

immediate strong cash-on-cash return, with

significant upside potential by increasing occupancy

and rolling leases in improving markets.

In summary, the Portfolio presents an opportunity

for a sophisticated investor to capture a dominant

presence in four of Philadelphia’s premier

office submarkets; a synergistic investment

that offers the rare combination of prime

locations, unmatched access and visibility,

staggered lease expirations, a history

of institutional ownership, first–class

construction and finishes, and credit-

oriented tenants supporting a secure

and growing income stream.

The Portfolio is comprised of four tranches that are each the dominant set of buildings within their respective submarkets.

DOMINANT SUBMARKETS

The Portfolio is comprised of four tranches that are

located in separate and distinct submarkets along three

of the region’s primary highways: I-95; The Pennsylvania

Turnpike (I-276) and I-476. These submarkets, located

20-50 minutes from Center City Philadelphia, are

among the largest and strongest in the entire MSA.

DIVERSE AND HIGH QUALITY TENANT BASE

The Portfolio is 86% leased to a cross-section of

high quality, creditworthy tenants with a diverse lease

expiration schedule. None of the tenants exceed

5% of the total square footage of the Portfolio. This

diversification affords an investor the security of not

having significant exposure to any individual tenant,

industry or rollover year. Major tenants, above 20,000

square feet, are all credit worthy, account for almost

40% of the net rentable area of the Portfolio and have

an average remaining lease term of about 5.5 years.

CRITICAL MASS/OPERATING PLATFORM

The Portfolio size provides the investor with a dominant

regional operating platform, as well as premier landlord

positions in the major submarkets in which the assets

are situated. The management fees derived from the

Portfolio are estimated to exceed $1 million annually.

EXCEPTIONAL INVESTMENT VALUE

The Portfolio affords the opportunity to acquire 29 Class

A office buildings at a discount to replacement value.

OUTSTANDING INTERCHANGE LOCATIONS

The Portfolio offers highly visible multi-

directional metro-wide access along the

region’s primary interstate highways.

TENANT AMENITIES

The Portfolio is comprised of assets that benefit from

a Class A office park environment which provide

above average parking and numerous amenities,

including fitness centers, restaurants, deli and other

food services, overnight courier drop-boxes, nearby

hotels, eateries, and abundant retail shopping.

GREATER PHILADELPHIA/LEHIGH

VALLEY METROPOLITAN AREA

possesses one of the most diverse economies in the

Nation, with heavy concentration in the financial services,

healthcare, insurance, pharmaceutical, communication

and biotechnology sectors. The MSAs are home to

many Fortune 500 firms including Sunoco, Comcast,

GlaxoSmithKline, DuPont, Vanguard, Campbell Soup, Air

Products, Olympus US Headquarters and many more.

INSTITUTIONAL QUALITY

The properties are in excellent condition and

have benefited from the long term ownership

and management of institutional owners with

a consistent reinvestment of capital.

MULTIPLE EXIT STRATEGIES

The Portfolio includes both single-story and multi-story

buildings that can accommodate both single user and

multi-tenanted use. Buildings within the Portfolio have

historically been very attractive for users and tenants

desiring their own building looking to benefit from

identity and exposure opportunities, and the efficiency

and enhanced security of leasing an entire building. This

creates the opportunity for an owner to optimize their exit

strategy, by either selling single buildings to users on a

select basis, or taking advantage of the strong demand

for single tenant net leased properties by selling such

buildings on a one-off basis.

OVERVIEW

Greater Philadelphia, the nation’s fifth largest

metropolitan area and fifth largest city, is situated

in the heart of the Northeast Corridor and is the

keystone of major north-south, east-west highway

and rail networks. More than 100 million people are

within a one-day drive of Philadelphia. The Greater

Philadelphia market area spans thirteen counties

in Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern New

Jersey, Lehigh Valley and Northern Delaware.

ECONOMIC DIVERSITY

Greater Philadelphia has one of the most diverse

economies in the nation. The region is headquarters

to more than thirty companies ranked in the Fortune

1000. Long established corporations, including Dow

Chemical Company, Comcast, Sunoco, Campbell

Soup, E.I du Pont de Nemours and Company,

ACE USA, CIGNA, GlaxoSmithKline and Aetna/US

Healthcare, Inc. have made a significant contribution

to the broad economic base that provides a stable

regional economy and positive business climate.

LEHIGH VALLEY

Comprised of the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem, and

Easton, the Lehigh Valley is well-positioned adjacent

to the extended suburbs of Philadelphia with central

access to Philadelphia and New York. There are more

than 1.3 million people within a 30-mile radius.

Allentown is the third largest city in

Pennsylvania and its growth rate was nearly

five times that of the state itself in 2012.

Major corporations in Allentown include Air Products

& Chemicals World Headquarters, Kraft Foods, PPL

Corporation, Daytimers, Olympus American U.S.

Headquarters, Rodale Press, Wachovia Bank’s Regional

Headquarters, Coca Cola, and Nestle. The Lehigh Valley

is a dynamic and growing market, as is evidenced by the

region’s newest development project, The Waterfront,

a $300 Million, 38-acre mixed use brownfields

redevelopment project on Allentown’s waterfront.

REGIONAL OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEW

The Greater Philadelphia area contains 145 million

square feet of commercial office space in 1,788

buildings. The market reported 20% vacancy for the

2nd Quarter 2014, down from 21.5% reported a year

ago. The Class ‘A’ average asking lease of $26.35 for the

second quarter 2014, reflects an impressive 6% annual

increase over 1st quarter 2006 report of $22.23.

There are five primary office markets in

the metropolitan area: Philadelphia CBD,

Suburban Philadelphia, Southern New Jersey,

Lehigh Valley and Northern Delaware.

SUPPLY/DEMAND TRENDS

The Greater Philadelphia office market started 2014

with great momentum, positive net absorption figures,

lower vacancy rates, increased construction activity and

higher Class A rental rates. Aggressive leasing activity

in the Philadelphia Suburban and Downtown markets as

well as the Southern New Jersey office market produced

an aggregate of 484,200 square feet of positive net

absorption. It is anticipated that vacancy rates in these

markets will continue to decline, specifically Class A

space, given the new lease signings and expected

occupancies throughout 2014. The strength of the

current market bodes well for landlords and investors

alike. As predicted, steady demand and increasing

leasing activity throughout the Philadelphia MSA office

markets have resulted in an increase in Class A average

asking lease rates from $26.17 (Q1 2013) to $26.35

(Q1 2014), an impressive 1.4% annual increase.
