Charleston Market OverviewThe primary driver of the greater Charleston, SC economy is the Port of Charleston, with an estimated annual economic impact to the area of $6.3 billion. The Port of Charleston and the trade-related to its use has been a critical factor in the location of Boeing, Mercedes Benz, and Volvo to the area. Volume through the Port of Charleston has increased at a compounded annual growth rate of 8%, and expectations for future growth will be driven by the Charleston Harbor deepening project to 52 feet that will allow post-Panamax services with vessel sizes of 13,000 TEUs.

Once the Charleston Harbor deepening project is completed it will be the deepest Port on the East Coast and will enable it to compete for additional international trade routes.

The Port of Charleston is the 9th largest U.S. seaport facility and over the past 5 years volume has grown by a compounded growth rate of 8%, and on the East Coast the Port of Charleston is the 4th largest seaport.

Charleston has experienced rapid population, employment, and business expansion (Boeing, Mercedes, Volvo, etc).

A lot of business activity and planned growth for the area. Residential developments launched south of I-26 in this submarket by several well-known

Charleston area developers. Major infrastructure improvements in the area (utilities, roads, new interstate interchange) to

accommodate the expected rapid growth. History of manufacturing and distribution clusters when a major auto manufacturer opens a new

plant (BMW in Spartanburg (SC), Michelin in Spartanburg (SC), Hyundai in Montgomery (AL), Honda in Lincoln (AL), Toyota in Huntsville (AL), Nissan in Franklin (TN), and Volkswagen in Chattanooga (TN) to name a few.Creates increased demand for industrial distribution warehouses. Increased need for housing for the new workforce.Demand for retail services for the new population cluster.

• Real estate developers will eventually build the assets to capitalize on the expected growth in this area.

Multifamily Development in Ridgeville area of greater Charleston

Business Plan

Apartment community approximately 2 miles from the new 2.1 million square foot, $1.5 billion Volvo manufacturing facility and Volvo training campus that will employ 4,000 people and open in 2019.

Close proximity to the new 6,800-acre Camp Hall business park anchored by the Volvo facility that will eventually include 10 million square feet of industrial warehouses and employ 14,000 people.

Limited to no competition for the development product in this trade area, as next closest competition is 7 miles.

First mover advantage as there are no planned multifamily communities in this trade area.

Competitive advantage because most all land tracts in the area do not permit multifamily, but this one tract under developer’s control does permit the use.

Developed to meet the housing needs of the workforce.

Equity Incentive Through Opportunity Zone ProgramThe Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that was passed by Congress and signed into law included a provision that encourages investment in designated low income communities called “Opportunity Zones”. The provision incentivizes investment in Opportunity Zones through the deferral and eventual partial forgiveness of realized capital gains taxes FROM ANY ASSET SALE OR CLASS. There are three primary benefits to equity partners of Opportunity Zone projects:

1. Deferral of gain from other investments into the project.a. Gain must be invested into the project within 180 of realization of such gain.b. Tax deferral until the earlier of December 31, 2016, or when the interest in the project is sold.

2. Reduction of deferred capital gains taxes.a. If the investment is held for 5 years the original capital gains are reduced by 10%.b. If the investment is held for 7 years the original capital gains are reduced by 15%.

3. Complete elimination of gain on equity investment in project.a. If the investment is held for 10 years then capital gains taxes from the sale of an Opportunity Zone investment

would be zero.

Opportunity Zone Net Benefit Calculation (page 20)

The calculations show an investor’s potential after-tax returns under different scenarios, assuming an investment of capital gains prior to December 31, 2019, a 10 year holding, annual investment appreciation of 7%, and a long-term capital gains tax rate of 23.8% (federal capital gains tax of 20% and net investment income tax of 3.8%), only taking into account tax at a federal level (not state). Note, however, that the performance assumptions shown are for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to reflect the actual experience of any individual investor.

The calculations for the standard stock portfolio are based on rolling over capital gains equal to $1 million, at an initial tax of 23.8% (using the same assumptions described above), into a standard stock portfolio, the remaining $76,200 of which then appreciates at a compounding return of 7%. At the end of each holding period, the investment in the standard stock portfolio is assumed to be sold and long-term capital gains at a tax rate of 23.8% paid on the capital gains from the investment in the standard stock portfolio.

The five-year hold calculations for the Opportunity Fund are based on rolling over capital gains equal to $1 million, at an initially deferred tax rate of 0%, into an Opportunity Fund, with the entirety of the $1 million then appreciating at a compounding return of 7%, until the fifth year of the hold, at which time the initially deferred tax is reduced by 10% and the net amount is taxed at a rate of 23.8%. In addition, at the end of the holding period, when the investment is assumed to be sold, long-term capital gain at a tax rate of 23.8% is paid on the gains or profits from the investment in the Opportunity Fund itself.

The seven-year hold calculations for the Opportunity Fund are based on rolling over capital gains of $1 million, at an initially deferred tax of 0%, into an Opportunity Fund, with the entirety of the $1 million then appreciating at a compounding return of 7%, until the seventh year of the hold, at which time the initially deferred tax is reduced by 15% and the net amount is taxed at a rate of 23.8%. In addition, at the end of the holding period, when the investment is assumed to be sold, long-term capital gain at a tax rate of 23.8% is paid on the gains or profits from the investment in the Opportunity Fund itself.

The ten-year hold calculations for the Opportunity Fund are based on rolling over gains of $1 million, at an initially deferred tax of 0%, into an Opportunity Fund, with the entirety of the $1 million then appreciating at a compounding return of 7%, until December 31, 2026, at which time the initially deferred tax is reduced by 15% and the net amount is taxed at a rate of 23.8%, effectively reducing the principal invested in the opportunity fund accordingly. Thereafter, returns continue to compound at 7%. At the end of the tenth year of the holding period, the investment in the Opportunity Fund is sold and the capital gains on the investment in the Opportunity Fund itself is taxed at a rate of 0%.
