Dear Mr. Kyriakakis:
In accordance with your request, I have prepared an appraisal of the captioned property. The purpose of the appraisal was to estimate the Market Value of the subject property as currently operated as a rental apartment project as of May 25, 2006. The subject property is currently being readied for a major renovation plan that will re-position the subject property. Per the client/lender’s request, the subject property has been appraised assuming habitable condition with stabilized occupancy. This report has been prepared in conformance with the Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute and the Appraisal Foundation. This report has also been prepared in accordance with Freddie Mac appraisal guidelines and the appraisal requirements of Reilly Mortgage Group, Inc. Neither the assignment to make this appraisal nor the compensation for it is contingent upon the appraised value of the subject. This is a complete appraisal transmitted in a self-contained narrative format.
Based upon an inspection of the subject, a review of available operating history and in consideration of local market data, the subject’s estimated Market Value as of May 25, 2006 assuming habitable condition with stabilized occupancy is:
ONE HUNDRED FORTY NINE MILLION DOLLARS
($ 149,000,000)
($ 149,000,000)
A substantial renovation of the subject is in process. This appraisal assumes habitable condition prior to renovation in accordance with the client’s request. The cost to complete the renovation of units already gutted for rehabilitation is not considered herein. It is noted that the subject’s actual physical vacancy rate (20.6%) was elevated as of the date of inspection/valuation since the owners had commenced lease terminations to create vacancies for the proposed renovation.

Since no significant leasehold interest exists at the subject, the value of the leased fee is considered to be equivalent to the fee simple value.
PURPOSE, INTENDED USE AND DATE OF APPRAISAL

SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL
This appraisal included an interior and exterior inspection of the subject by Robert D. Wright, MAI on May 25, 2005. A total of 25 units were inspected by the appraiser. The appraiser inspected 40 units during a previous inspection in May 2005. Research included field inspection of comparable properties and interviews of rental agents, owners, managers, real estate agents and appraisers. Information was also obtained from sales data services, assessment office records and the appraiser’s personal data files.
The Income Approach and Market Approach have been applied with supporting data. The Cost Approach is not applied since investors and lenders do not typically rely upon this approach for valuation of an older vintage rental project like the subject. The omission of the Cost Approach from this valuation is not considered to weaken the reliability of this appraisal. An Insurable Value has been included in the addenda per the client’s request.
REGIONAL DATA
The subject is located in Fairfax County, VA and has an Alexandria mailing address. This area is part of the Washington, DC metropolitan region which includes areas of Maryland, West Virginia and Northern Virginia comprising about 5,600 square miles. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget defines the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) as including: the District of Columbia; the Maryland counties of Calvert, Charles, Frederick, Montgomery and Prince George’s; the Virginia counties of Arlington, Clarke, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, Spotsylvania, Stafford and Warren; the West Virginia county of Jefferson; and the Virginia cities of Alexandria, Fairfax City, Falls Church, Fredericksburg, Manassas and Manassas Park. Although separately governed, these cities and counties share common historical, geographic and socioeconomic trends. This region represents the southern end of the densely populated Northeast Corridor, which runs from Washington north to Boston and includes metropolitan Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York.
The Washington, DC MSA is at the hub of a well-developed highway network that allows access to the major urban centers of the northeast corridor. I-95, a major north-south route, connects with the Washington Beltway, I-495, which encircles the city. Paralleling I-95 northeast of the city is the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. I-95 and the parkway connect the two cities of Baltimore and Washington. I-95 then continues north to Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York. I-95 south of Washington connects with Richmond. Route 50 intersects with New York Avenue and the Beltway and continues east to Annapolis. I-270 northwest of Washington connects with the Beltway in Montgomery County. It connects the city with I-70 in Frederick, Maryland. I-70 continues west to the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Besides a well-developed highway network, the region is served by an integrated public transportation system administered by the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority. The centerpiece of the “Metro” system is a modern rapid rail transit network with lines emanating from downtown Washington into the suburbs. Bus routes provide transportation between rail lines and into other parts of the region. Union Station in Washington is a major terminal for inter-city and commuter rail transportation supplied by Amtrak, Maryland Area Rail Company (MARC) and Virginia Rail. Reagan National Airport, Dulles International and Baltimore-Washington International airports all provide air service to the Washington region.

The District of Columbia is the largest and most densely populated city in the Washington region claiming 11% of the total regional population in 2005. This is down from 15% in 1990. This region has experienced significant expansion into emerging suburban communities such as Prince William and southeastern Loudoun Counties in Virginia and portions of Frederick, Howard, Anne Arundel and Charles Counties in Maryland. This pattern is similar to other older regions of the north and northeast where loss of population in urban areas and an increase in suburban population have occurred. The following table shows the average annual percentage change in population for each of the component areas of the Washington, DC MSA since 1990.

Government-related employment is a large sector in the number of industry workers. The government and related bureaucracy are also the engines that power the other industries, especially the service-related industries. Service related industries account for nearly half of all employed individuals. This region is noted for its relative lack of industrial and warehouse facilities as compared to other large metropolitan areas.
Suburban economic centers developed around the central core of Washington in the 1980’s. Emerging economic centers in the Virginia suburbs include Ballston-Rosslyn in Arlington and Tysons Corner in Fairfax County. Rockville-Gaithersburg in Montgomery County and Greenbelt-Laurel in Prince George’s County are examples of regional growth centers in the Maryland suburbs. The continued linkage of the Baltimore-Washington Corridor as a primary population area should have a significant impact on the economy of the Washington area in the future.
The Washington metropolitan area is a strategic location given its status as the seat of the federal government and the massive federal bureaucracy. Movement and growth of the government affects employment of government workers and workers in other industries, particularly the service industries. The economic downturn of the early 1990’s had a short-term negative effect on the Washington area economy. Employment loss abated and many new economic developments have since been completed. The population of the region and its housing growth has continued, especially in the far-reaching Maryland and Virginia suburbs, although Washington, DC itself experienced population loss. Long-term economic prospects are still considered good.

Many technology and telecommunications companies have located in Northern Virginia, especially Tysons Corner/Dulles/and farther westward along Route 7 on the way to Leesburg. This Internet hub has resulted in a large number of skilled workers attracted into the area which has ramped up housing demand and rent levels. The decline in the technology center in the early 1990’s resulted in numerous layoffs at local companies in Western Fairfax and Eastern Loudoun Counties. Since then, a recovery has occurred as other firms have established themselves in these areas.
Fairfax County as a whole included 229,524,736 SF of non-residential space in 2004 consisting of 41,150,059 SF of industrial space, 103,520,646 SF of office space, 33,857,377 SF of retail space and 37,698,795 SF of institutional space.

A number of apartment complexes are under construction or planned for construction in Fairfax County. The subject’s immediate sub-market has not seen significant recent additions to supply due to the essentially built-out nature of the area.
All of the projects in the pipeline are Class A luxury projects with much higher rents than the subject. None of these projects compete directly with the subject in its current condition. It is anticipated that all of the projects in the pipeline will be absorbed over time. New projects in the pipeline are not expected to have a detrimental long-term effect on the subject’s rental rates or occupancy levels.
The following summary of additions to multifamily supply in Fairfax County is based upon our research of the market over time, newspaper articles, conversations with local planners and developers, and the First Quarter 2006 Class A Apartment Market Report produced by Delta Associates.

Property History
The subject is currently in title to AIMCO Riverside Park LLC. No sale of the subject has occurred within the last five years according to tax data obtained from Win2Data for Fairfax County, VA. Fairfax County tax assessment data indicates a transfer of the subject in June 2000 for $0 in consideration. This transfer may have involved an ownership name change or some other non arms-length transaction. The last arms length sale of the subject appears to have occurred in July 1986 when the subject reportedly sold for $59,125,000. According to the subject’s management, the property is not currently under an agreement of sale nor is the subject listed for sale.
Assessment and Real Estate Tax Data
Real estate taxes are based upon the Fairfax County Assessor’s estimate of market value (703-222-8234). Properties are reassessed annually with the assessed values set at 100% of fair market value. Assessments are established on a calendar year basis. Tax rates are set between April and June of each year and are applied to the assessment which is in effect on the preceding January 1. The subject’s 2006 assessment will be utilized by Fairfax County to calculate the subject’s tax liability for the current calendar year. The current assessment, rates and taxes are reported below. The following Map Reference Number identifies the subject’s parcel: 0833-01-0101. The 2006 county tax rate is $0.89 per $100 of assessed value. In addition, the subject’s rate includes $.001 per $100 of assessed value as a Gypsy Moth Control tax. The overall tax rate for the subject is $0.90.
Real estate tax assessments have been increasing for the subject between 2003 and 2006 and have also been rising since 2000. Over the 2003 through 2006 period, the tax rate has declined from $1.161 in 2003 to $1.131 in 2004 to $1.001 in 2005 to $0.90 in 2006. Thus, as assessments have been increasing for the majority of properties, the tax rate for Fairfax County has been adjusted downward to lessen the impact of these higher assessments. The subject’s real estate tax expense actually decreased in 2005 and 2006.
RIVERSIDE PARK APARTMENTS | 28 |
The subject’s parcel is currently assessed at $90,090,900 or $73,724 per unit. Since the assessed value differs from the value appraised herein, a check of the reasonableness of the subject’s assessment has been made. The following apartment projects from the subject’s sub-market were researched for tax assessment information. These comparables represent a wide array of assessments that bracket the subject’s current assessment and proposed assessment.

Subject | Riverside Park (estimated) | 1968-70 | 1222 | $ | 92,155 | |||||||
The appraiser also researched recent Fairfax County sales to determine the increase in assessment subsequent to sale. Ravenwood Towers which sold in August 2004 for $32,670,000 saw its assessment increase by 24% to $28,282,660 in 2005. Skyline Towers, which sold for a recorded price of $165,500,000 in December 2005, saw its assessment increase 30.6% to $74,260,000 for 2006. The subject’s assessment for purposes of this appraisal is estimated at 25% above the current assessment rounded to $112,614,000 or $92,155 per unit since an appraisal assumes a sale of the subject property. If the subject were sold at the value appraised herein, it is likely that in the tax year following the sale (2007) the assessment would be adjusted to a level more closely reflecting the recorded sales price.
The following table summarizes the subject’s current, historical and projected real estate tax assessments and expenses.

The subject’s 2006 assessment of $90,090,900 will be in effect through December 31, 2006 or for approximately six months of the 12-month projection period. The subject’s assessment is projected by the appraiser to increase to $112,614,000 for the January 1, 2007-December 31, 2007 period which includes the remaining six months of the subject’s 12-month projection period assuming a sale of the subject. In estimating the subject’s real estate tax expense for the 12-month projection period, a blended assessment including the current assessment for the first six months and the projected 2007 assessment for the final six months has been utilized. The following table displays the subject’s projected real estate tax expense assuming stable tax rates.

If the subject’s assessment were increased 25% to $112,614,000 in 2007, a rent increase of about $14 per month would be required to offset the increased real estate tax expense.

Summary of Construction Components (continued)
Security/Fire Safety | Gated entrance with watchman, fire alarms, back-up gas generator, smoke detectors, emergency lighting | |
Condition | The subject’s improvements in “As Is” condition prior to renovation are rated in overall average condition with repairs and replacements made as necessary. Some window ledges were in need of repair. |
A substantial renovation of the subject is in process. Building #1 with 366 units will be the first building to be renovated with a contract construction cost of $20,100,000 or $54,918 per unit. Projected costs for the remaining two buildings were not available. This valuation has estimated the subject’s “As Is” market value prior to renovation in accordance with the client’s request.
This appraisal assignment was completed without the benefit of current engineering and environmental site assessment reports. If subsequently completed reports reveal the need for significant immediate repairs or if significant environmentally hazardous conditions exist, this valuation would be adversely impacted.
The subject is estimated to have an effective age of 20 years and an estimated remaining economic life of 35 years.
Planned Renovations
The subject’s ownership plans to extensively renovate the subject property. Building #1 with 366 units will be the first building to be renovated with a contract construction cost of $20,100,000 or $54,918 per unit. Projected costs for the remaining two buildings were not available. The planned renovations will increase the project size slightly from the current 1,222 units to 1,229 units and reposition the subject from its current Class C status to a Class B+ project (Class B project with Class A amenities). A new 10,000 square foot free-standing athletic facility/clubhouse leasing center will be built on the site adjacent to Building II. The subject’s 14th and 15th floors will be upgraded with Class A features while 1st through 13th floors will be renovated to Class B standards. Washers and dryers will be installed in each unit as part of the rehab plan. The subject’s kitchens will be “opened-up” to the living room creating a more open, contemporary floor plan. Appliances will be replaced in all units, new counter tops will be installed, internet wiring will be run to each unit and kitchen cabinets and flooring will be replaced. The subject’s windows are planned for replacement, new sliding glass doors will be installed in each unit with a balcony, the roofs will be replaced, the heat pumps will be replaced along with many other property upgrades. These renovations will re-position the subject property in the market and enhance the subject’s overall income potential. Renovation construction began in June 2006 with initial occupancy of renovated units in September 2006. The owner anticipates delivering approximately 20 renovated units per month.
This valuation has estimated the market value of the subject property assuming habitable condition prior to renovation in accordance with the client’s request. Stabilized occupancy is assumed although the vacancy rate is elevated due to the renovation.

Zoning Discussion
The subject is under the zoning jurisdiction of Fairfax County. Land use is regulated by the Zoning Ordinance of Fairfax County (Office of Zoning, 703-385-7820) adopted June 12, 1978 and effective August 14, 1978. The subject is located in an R-30 Residential District. The R-30 District is established to provide for multiple family dwellings at a density not to exceed 30 dwelling units per acre; to provide affordable dwelling unit developments at a density not to exceed 36 dwelling units per acre; and to allow other selected uses which are compatible with the residential character of the district. Permitted uses in the R-30 District include: affordable dwelling unit developments, churches, chapels, temples, etc.; multiple family dwellings; and public uses. Special permit uses include: institutional uses; community uses; commercial recreation uses; and outdoor recreation uses.
The subject is located in Fairfax County in the R-30 Residential District which was established to provide for multi-family dwellings. The following is an analysis of major requirements of the zoning ordinance as compared to the subject’s existing development. This comparison is based on information supplied by the owner and obtained from public records and site inspection by the appraiser.
Requirement | Zoning Code | Subject | ||
Minimum Lot Area | 3 acres | 28.1713 acres | ||
Maximum Density (Dwelling Units/Acre) | 30 units/acre | 43.4 units/acre | ||
Maximum Height Permitted | 150 feet | 150+/- feet | ||
Parking Requirements (1.6 Spaces/Unit) | 1,966 | 1,804 |
Section 15-101 of the Fairfax County Zoning Ordinance states:
“Notwithstanding the definition of nonconforming building or use presented in Article 20, a building or use shall not be deemed a nonconforming use if such was a conforming building or use prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, and such building or use would otherwise be a conforming use under the provisions of this Ordinance except that it does not meet the minimum district or lot size or minimum yard requirements of the zoning district in which located.”
In other words, since the subject’s density was permitted at the time of original construction, i.e. lot size was sufficient, the subject’s building density does not technically render the property as nonconforming. The subject’s parking provides less than that required by the current ordinance, therefore the subject is considered to be a legal nonconforming use.
Section 15-103 of the current ordinance addresses the issue of the damage of a nonconforming structure. Under the current ordinance an existing building may be restored if it is damaged to a degree not exceeding 50% of its current appraised value. Since parking relates to the subject as a whole, this 50% would apply to the total project value of the subject’s buildings less foundation costs. The maximum time period for restoration is two years.

Many properties like the subject in this market are legally non-conforming due to changes in the zoning ordinance. This condition does not have a significant impact on the subject’s value or marketability. If the site were vacant, buildings of the same height as the subject (approximately 150 feet) could be constructed; however, they would be limited by the lot size of 28.1713 acres to a maximum yield of 845 units requiring 1,352 parking spaces.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Highest and best use may be defined as the reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially feasible, and that results in the highest value. Among all reasonable, alternative uses, the use that yields the highest present land value, after payments are made for labor, capital, and coordination, is generally regarded as the highest and best use of the land as though vacant. Analysis of the highest and the best use of a property as improved implies that the existing improvements should be renovated or retained as is so long as it continues to contribute to the total market value of the property, or until the return from a new improvement would more than offset the cost of demolishing the existing building and constructing a new one. (Appraisal Institute: The Appraisal of Real Estate, Eleventh Edition, 1996, pp. 50 and 51.)
Highest and best use of a site as though vacant assumes that a parcel of land is vacant or can be made vacant by demolition of existing improvements. Highest and best use of property as improved pertains to the use that should be made of the property as it exists. When a site contains improvements, the highest and best use may be determined to be different from the existing use. The existing use will continue unless and until land value in its highest and best use exceeds the sum of the value of the entire property in its existing use and the cost to remove the improvements. Since the subject’s improvements contribute value to the subject over and above the value of the land as if vacant, the Highest and Best Use of the subject as improved is the underlying premise to this valuation. To estimate the highest and best use of a property, four fundamental criteria must be addressed. The highest and best use must be legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, and maximally productive. Following is a discussion of each of these points as they apply to the subject as improved.
Legally Permissible:The subject’s existing 1,222-unit elevator apartment project with some commercial space is considered to be a legally permissible use. Based upon the preceding zoning analysis the subject, while developed beyond the maximum permitted density of 30 units per acre in the R-30 zone, is considered to be a legal, non-conforming use/structure. Expansion of the existing improvements is not permitted although the subject could be rebuilt if less than 50% of its current appraised value were damaged or destroyed. Conversion to a condominium or cooperative ownership is a legally permissible alternate use for the subject as improved. An analysis of the subject as a potential condominium conversion candidate is beyond the scope of this valuation.
RIVERSIDE PARK APARTMENTS | 35 |
Physically Possible:The improvements were originally constructed for multi-tenant residential use and appear suitable for their current rental occupancy. The existing condition of the improvements is average. The subject is an adequately maintained rental apartment project and with good management should successfully compete with most nearby rental projects. An extensive renovation of the subject property is in process; however, this analysis has considered the subject in “As Is” condition operating as a rental property prior to renovation.
Financially FeasibleandMaximally Productive:A review of comparable sales data indicates that some recent rental project acquisitions in the most desirable locations in the Washington, DC Metro area were motivated by condominium conversion. This trend includes newly built developments with separate utilities as well as older vintage projects. The subject’s utility allocation with utilities separately metered would normally lend itself to condominium conversion; however, its older vintage and unit mix detract from its condominium potential. Brokers report that the market for condominium conversions has begun to cool in recent months. The current owners of the subject property are likely to continue the subject’s use as an elevator rental apartment use well into the future and in fact, plan to renovate the subject and re-position it in the local rental sub-market.
Based upon the above analysis of the subject property and current market conditions, the maximally productive use of the subject is for continued operation as a market rate rental apartment project. The subject has a history of increasing income and relatively high occupancy rates prior to the onset of move-outs in anticipation of the renovation plan. In conclusion, the highest and best use of the subject, as improved, is for continued operation as a 1,222-unit elevator-style rental apartment project with a limited amount of commercial office and retail space.

VALUATION PREMISE
This appraisal is for the subject’s Market Value under its Highest and Best Use as discussed above. In order to estimate the subject’s Market Value, the appraisal process is utilized. This process is an orderly program by which the problem is defined; the work necessary to solve the problem is planned; and the data involved is acquired, classified, analyzed and translated into an estimate of value. The Income Approach and Sales Comparison Approach have been applied in this appraisal. The Cost Approach is not applied since investors and lenders do not rely upon this approach for valuation of a property that was built approximately 36 years ago like the subject. An Insurable Value has been included in the addenda per the client’s request.
The Income Approach is based upon the present worth of the subject’s income potential as measured by capitalization of net income. The Market Approach consists of an analysis of comparable improved sales. The Income Approach includes analyses of comparable rental and expense data. The subject’s actual operating history during the January 2002 through April 2006 period has been considered. Net operating income has been converted into a value conclusion through Direct Capitalization.
The Income Approach and Sales Comparison Approach have been employed for indications of the subject’s Market Value as a rental project. The following pages contain our application of the Income Approach and Sales Comparison Approach to value.
INCOME APPROACH
In the Income Approach, the following steps have been employed:
1) | Estimate of gross income — The subject’s estimated gross income potential is based upon an analysis of the local rental market. An adjustment for vacancy and collection losses is also considered for an estimate of effective gross income. Income from various forms of other income including month to month fees, commercial rent, utility income (RUBS), laundry income, cable TV income, late charges, etc. has also been projected. | |
2) | Estimate of expenses — The subject’s expenses are estimated based upon the subject’s actual history of expenses during the January 2002 through April 2006 period and the experience of other similar properties in the northern Virginia market. This data is considered adequate to make an estimate of the subject’s expenses over the next 12 months assuming stabilized operations and the subject’s “As Is” condition prior to renovation. | |
3) | Capitalization of net income for an indication of Market Value — The selection of an appropriate capitalization technique and rate is based upon the characteristics of the subject’s income stream and the nature of the investment. The most appropriate method is dictated by the practices most commonly used by the typical purchaser of properties like the subject. Direct capitalization through Derivation from Comparable Sales and by the Band of Investment Technique has been applied. |

Estimate of Gross Income
The subject’s projected gross income consists primarily of rental income from 1,222 rental units that include three different efficiency-style units, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units. The current rent roll dated May 25, 2006 has been analyzed in light of comparable rentals to provide a basis for an estimate of the subject’s economic rents assuming “As Is” condition prior to renovation. It should be noted that the subject’s planned renovation has required the ownership to position the project’s occupancy for renovation construction. As a result, some units are being intentionally vacated so that apartments can be renovated. The May 25, 2006 rent roll shows 252 vacant units including down units while the May 13, 2005 rent roll indicated 168 vacant units and the December 16, 2004 showed 70 vacant units. Due to the elevated vacancies at the subject as of the date of this valuation, the scheduled rents of the May 25, 2006 rent roll are elevated since the vacant units are included at their market rents which would generally be above their actual rents. These vacant units are generally in rentable condition. The following pages contain detailed descriptions of these comparable rental projects. The following chart summarizes the current street rents of the rent comparables.

Estimate of Apartment Income
The subject’s economic rents on an “As Is” basis are estimated in consideration of current and past scheduled rents and the rental rates reported at the comparable rental projects. Economic rents for the subject condition are generally within the range of the current streets and are reasonable based upon the subject’s recent history and comparable rental data. The projected economic rents are toward the lower end of the range of rents exhibited by the rent comparables by unit type. Some of the subject’s apartments have already been renovated and lease for $100 per month premiums. Some of the subject’s units also are leased at $10 per month premiums for floor level or for premium views. These premiums are included in the scheduled rent ranges below. The following chart contains a summary of the estimated economic rents assuming “As Is” condition prior to renovation as compared to the subject’s current scheduled rents according to the May 25, 2006 rent roll and the reported street rents.

Potential gross apartment rent is projected at $1,259,090 per month or $15,109,080 per year. The above economic rents include no utilities since the subject’s residents are billed for their utility usage under a Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS). The RUBS program at the subject charges tenants for their use of electricity, water and sewer usage and trash removal.
This valuation has estimated the subject’s c “As Is” market value prior to renovation in accordance with the client’s request. As a result, the subject’s economic rents are based upon current conditions at the subject assuming stabilized property conditions. As of May 25, 2006, 252 of the subject’s 1,222 units were reported as vacant. This elevated vacancy rate is attributed to the subject’s ownership’s decision to allow units to remain vacant in anticipation of the pending renovation program.
Concessions
The subject’s operating history indicates concessions of $111,403 (0.8%) in 2002, $75,143 (0.6%) in 2003, $101,870 (0.8%) in 2004, $439,950 (3.0 %) in 2005 and $391,275 (2.6%) for annualized 2006 (four months). None of the fourteen rent comparables surveyed for this appraisal reported the use of concessions. The lack of concessions in the market is evidence of a strong rental market. Based on the subject’s reported history and in consideration of market data, rent concessions have been projected at 1.0% of gross apartment rent for this projection.
RIVERSIDE PARK APARTMENTS | 54 |
Vacancy and Collection Loss
The subject’s May 25, 2006 rent roll shows 252 vacant units (20.6%) including down units. As noted previously, the subject’s renovation has required the ownership to position the project for the upcoming construction. As a result, some units are being intentionally vacated so that apartments can be renovated. The May 13, 2005 rent roll indicated 168 vacant units while the December 16, 2004 exhibited 70 vacant units. The December 2004 rent roll is more reflective of the subject’s vacancy rate on a stabilized basis which is the premise of this appraisal despite the subject’s current elevated vacancy rate. The subject’s vacancy history was reported as follows: 5.4% in 2002; 4.1% in 2003 and 5.6% in 2004. These vacancy rates reflect the subject’s occupancy prior to the onset of increased move-outs prior to the renovation currently underway as reflected in the subject’s 2005 vacancy loss rate of 15.9% and annualized 2006 rate of 24.2%. Following is a summary of the vacancy rates reported at the rent comparables which indicate a sub-market vacancy rate of 2.9%.

Some under-reporting of vacancies at the rent comparables is assumed. For the purposes of this valuation, the subject’s vacancy loss rate is projected at 5.5% based on the subject’s history between 2002 and 2004 ranging from 4.1% to 5.6% and in consideration of the market.
RIVERSIDE PARK APARTMENTS | 55 |
Collection losses at the subject were 1.1% in 2002, 1.3% in 2003, 0.7% in 2004, 0.4% in 2005 and 0.2% for annualized 2006. A collection loss rate of 1.0% is projected for the subject. The appraiser has applied a combined vacancy and collection loss allowance of 6.5% against the economic apartment rent potential for the subject.

The scheduled lease rates of the subject’s three commercial spaces range from $16.54 per square foot to $33.26 per square foot. The cleaner’s lease rate is at a higher average square foot figure due to the small size of the space at only 289 square feet. The cited commercial lease comparables generally support the lease rates of the subject’s current existing commercial tenants.
The subject’s three commercial units are rented similar to a residential unit with utilities paid for by the tenants. The average per square foot rent is $18.22 for the three occupied spaces at their scheduled rents. Based upon scheduled rents for the three spaces, commercial lease income is projected at $57,096 annually or $18.22 per square foot. A 10% vacancy and collection loss allowance is applied to this gross income projection equating in effective commercial income of $51,386 per year.

EXPENSE NOTES
The appraiser analyzed expense statements for comparable properties along with the subject’s January 1, 2002 through April 30, 2006 history. The owner’s income and expense statements have been converted into the consolidated statement shown at the end of this section. In making this projection, consideration has been given to current rates where applicable, the reported history at the subject and comparable expense data. The following explanatory notes are for the one-year projection period beginning on the effective date of this appraisal based upon the subject’s “As Is” condition prior to renovation with stabilized operations.
Fixed Expenses
1. Real estate taxes are based upon the Fairfax County Assessor’s estimate of market value (703-222-8234). Properties are reassessed annually with the assessed values set at 100% of fair market value. Assessments are established on a calendar year basis. Tax rates are set between April and June of each year and are applied to the assessment which is in effect on the preceding January 1. The subject’s 2006 assessment will be utilized by Fairfax County to calculate the subject’s tax liability for the current calendar year. The current assessment, rates and taxes are reported below. The following Map Reference Number identifies the subject’s parcel: 0833-01-0101. The 2006 county tax rate is $0.89 per $100 of assessed value. In addition, the subject’s rate includes $.001 per $100 of assessed value as a Gypsy Moth Control tax. The overall tax rate for the subject is $0.90.
Real estate tax assessments have been increasing for the subject between 2003 and 2006 and have also been rising since 2000. Over the 2003 through 2006 period, the tax rate has declined from $1.161 in 2003 to $1.131 in 2004 to $1.001 in 2005 to $0.90 in 2006. Thus, as assessments have been increasing for the majority of properties, the tax rate for Fairfax County has been adjusted downward to lessen the impact of these higher assessments. The subject’s real estate tax expense actually decreased in 2005 and 2006.

The subject’s parcel is currently assessed at $90,090,900 or $73,724 per unit. Since the assessed value differs from the value appraised herein, a check of the reasonableness of the subject’s assessment has been made. The following apartment projects from the subject’s sub-market were researched for tax assessment information. These comparables represent a wide array of assessments that bracket the subject’s current assessment and proposed assessment.

The appraiser also researched recent Fairfax County sales to determine the increase in assessment subsequent to sale. Ravenwood Towers which sold in August 2004 for $32,670,000 saw its assessment increase by 24% to $28,282,660 in 2005. Skyline Towers, which sold for a recorded price of $165,500,000 in December 2005, saw its assessment increase 30.6% to $74,260,000 for 2006. The subject’s assessment for purposes of this appraisal is estimated at 25% above the current assessment rounded to $112,614,000 or $92,155 per unit since an appraisal assumes a sale of the subject property. If the subject were sold at the value appraised herein, it is likely that in the tax year following the sale (2007) the assessment would be adjusted to a level more closely reflecting the recorded sales price.
The following table summarizes the subject’s current, historical and projected real estate tax assessments and expenses.

If the subject’s assessment were increased 25% to $112,614,000 in 2007, a rent increase of about $14 per month would be required to offset the increased real estate tax expense.

The subject’s supplier, Dominion Virginia Power (888-667-3000), reports that no rate increases are anticipated through 2010 due to a rate freeze. Electricity expenses are projected based upon the subject’s 2005 history plus 5% at $920,400 per year or $753 per unit.

CAPITALIZATION
The projected first year Net Income Before Taxes and Debt Service has been capitalized into a value indication with an overall capitalization rate. The Overall Capitalization Rate has been derived through an application of Mortgage-Equity Theory known as the Band of Investment Technique and is further supported by market sales activity. The Band of Investment Technique utilizes a synthesis of mortgage interest and equity dividend rates based upon the following relationship:
R = mf + (l-m) Re
where: R = Overall Capitalization Rate
m = loan to value ratio
f = annual debt service constant
Re = equity dividend rate (cash-on-cash)
where: R = Overall Capitalization Rate
m = loan to value ratio
f = annual debt service constant
Re = equity dividend rate (cash-on-cash)
Interest only financing is commonly used for acquisitions in the current market. With interest only financing, an equity dividend rate of 5.5% is considered appropriate for the subject’s location, current market conditions and alternative investments such as corporate bonds and long-term treasury issues. Current mortgage terms are 6.15% interest rate; 10-year term, 30-year amortization and a 70% to 80% loan-to-value ratio. The subject’s overall capitalization rate utilizing this Market Rate financing (interest only) is calculated as follows:
Derivation of Overall Rate (Interest Only) | ||||
Interest Rate | 6.15 | % | ||
Amortization | 30 Years | |||
Loan-to-Value Ratio | 80 | % | ||
Equity Dividend Rate | 5.5 | % |

In addition to Band of Investment, overall capitalization rates were extracted from available sales data. Following is a summary of overall rates reflected by the comparable sales.

The comparable sales represent the most similar and recent apartment project sales from the subject’s Northern Virginia and Montgomery County in Maryland markets that are part of the Washington, DC regional market. The cited sales represent the most similar vintage and similar scale projects available for analysis. With the subject’s large scale at 1,222 units, four of six sales had project sizes ranging from 711 to 1,524 units. The arrayed sales were built between 1961 and 1970 bracketing the subject’s 1968-1970 vintage. These projects were in similar condition relative to the subject with post-sale renovations planned in most cases. The subject’s capitalization rate is estimated at 6.0% based on current investor requirements in consideration of the above overall rate data indicated by the comparable sales in Northern Virginia that range from a low of 5.4% to 6.1%. Despite the increase in mortgage rates over the last twelve months, the lack of supply and the abundance of mortgage capital have maintained capitalization rates in this range. This capitalization rate is for the subject in its “As Is” condition prior to renovation. Area brokers report strong demand for apartments with capitalization rates at low levels due to the availability of favorable financing and in light of alternative investment options. A project of the subject’s scale is rare and would generate great interest among institutional investors. With support from the above sales data and in consideration of the 6.0% overall rate developed by the Band of Investment, the subject’s overall capitalization rate is applied as follows:
Direct Capitalization | Net Income / Overall Rate | = | Value Indication | |||||||
$8,940,506/ 6.0% | = | $ | 149,008,433 | |||||||
Rounded | $ | 149,000,000 |
A substantial renovation of the subject was recently begun. This valuation has estimated the subject’s market value prior to renovation as of May 25, 2006 in accordance with the client’s request.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
The Sales Comparison Approach is based on the premise that the market value of a property is directly related to the prices of comparable, competitive properties. The value of a property in the market is set by the availability of substitute properties of similar utility and desirability. Value is sustained when the relationships between land and the improvements on the land and between property and its environment are in balance. Externalities such as the neighborhood and the economy can affect property value positively or negatively.
A systematic, five step procedure for applying the sales comparison approach involves: 1) researching the market for data on the prices of comparable properties, 2) verifying that the data is accurate and representative of arm’s length transactions, 3) determining relevant units of comparison, 4) comparing the subject with the comparables and adjusting the comparables for differences, and 5) reconciling the multiple value indications into a single value or range of values.
In other words, the sales data must also conform to the underlying conditions of the Definition of Market Value as defined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. (i.e., typical motivation, fully informed buyers and sellers, reasonable marketing period, etc.)
The appraiser has collected market data by researching courthouse records, assessment office data and personal data files. Information was also gathered during field inspections and discussions with buyers, sellers, appraisers, brokers and leasing agents. The following is a description of Market Sales Data relied upon in the Sales Comparison Approach. The expenses stated for these comparables include an allowance for replacement reserves.

Discussion of the Comparable Sales
The subject’s Market Value is estimated based upon recent sales of comparable apartment properties. The data described in detail on the previous pages was gathered from various sources and confirmed by the parties involved in each transaction. Three of these six properties have been previously appraised by Robert D. Wright, MAI. Due to the variations between properties, these sales have been compared to the subject on the basis of sale price per unit, per room, per square foot of net rentable area and Gross Income Multiplier for an indication of the subject’s value.
Elements of comparison are the characteristics of properties and transactions that cause prices paid for real estate to vary. This appraisal is for the subject’s fee simple title. Although apartment properties are sold subject to leases, the short-term nature of these leases renders the leased fee estate equivalent to the fee simple title. The real property rights conveyed for the comparable properties and the subject are similar.
The subject is being appraised in terms of cash or cash equivalent financing, i.e., conventional mortgage terms available in the market. In the case of the comparable properties, seller financing was not a factor in these transactions. Adjustments for conditions of sale reflect the motivations of the buyer and the seller. None of the sale properties were in distressed circumstances at the time of transfer. No adjustments for conditions of sale were needed.
The Value per Unit and Gross Income Multiplier are most commonly utilized for apartment properties. The Gross Income Multiplier requires no adjustment because it reflects the relationship between each property’s income potential and sale price regardless of time or conditions of sale. The Gross Income Multipliers for the five Northern Virginia sales range from 8.0 to 10.2 and average 9.0. The gross income multipliers reflected by the sales are generally higher for projects with lower expense percentages. The expense percentages for the sales range from 38.3% to 49.2%. It is noted that the expenses estimated for the subject and the expenses of the comparable sales include replacement reserves in this appraisal. The subject’s expense percentage at 40.4% in “As Is” condition prior to rehab is bracketed by the range of expense percentages reflected by the comparable sales.
In consideration of the subject’s relative income and expense characteristics in “As Is” condition prior to renovation, a Gross Income Multiplier of 8.9 is estimated for the subject. With the potential gross income of $16,631,175 and a Gross Income Multiplier of 8.9, the subject’s value indication is $148,017,458 rounded to $148,000,000. The comparable sale prices per unit range from $97,030 to $176,251 for a project with a significant commercial component which skewed the sales price higher (Sale #1 – Skyline Towers). In consideration of the subject’s relative characteristics in “As Is” condition, the estimated market value is $121,000 per unit. This equates to $147,900,000 on a rounded basis. The Gross Income Multiplier and the Value per Unit have been given equal weight herein for a Market Value of $147,900,000 in “As Is” condition prior to rehab assuming stabilized operations.

A substantial renovation of the subject is in process. This valuation has estimated the subject’s “As Is” market value prior to renovation in accordance with the client’s request. This appraisal assignment was completed without the benefit of current engineering and environmental site assessment reports. If subsequently completed reports reveal the need for significant immediate repairs or if significant environmentally hazardous conditions exist, this valuation would be adversely impacted.

CORRELATION AND CONCLUSION
Income Approach | $ | 149,000,000 | ||
Sales Comparison Approach | $ | 147,900,000 | ||
Cost Approach | Not Applied |
The Cost Approach is not typically relied upon for valuations of older rental projects in this market and has been excluded from this appraisal. An Insurable Value has been included in the addenda.
The Income Approach is ideally suited for estimating the subject’s value since most investors and lenders primarily rely upon this approach for income properties like the subject. This valuation is based on the subject’s economic income potential (“As Is” condition prior to renovation and stabilized occupancy) as supported by current operations and comparable rentals. A detailed rental and expense comparable study is included. This data is considered ample and generally reliable. The subject’s net income was converted into a value indication by direct capitalization utilizing an overall rate developed by the Band of Investment Technique. A value indication was also estimated by directly deriving the overall rate from market sales data. These two methods of deriving a capitalization rate were given consideration in estimating a capitalization rate to be applied against the net income estimate.
The Sales Comparison Approach is based upon an analysis of apartment project sales from Northern Virginia and Montgomery County in Maryland within the subject’s Washington, DC region. The sales prices on a per unit basis and the gross income multipliers were given consideration in this analysis.
The range in value conclusions derived through these indicators was reasonable. Since lenders and buyers for properties like the subject favor the Income Approach it has been given the most weight for the subject’s value conclusion.
Based upon an inspection of the subject, a review of available operating history and in consideration of local market data, the subject’s estimated Market Value as of May 25, 2006 assuming habitable condition with stabilized occupancy is:
ONE HUNDRED FORTY NINE MILLION DOLLARS
($149,000,000)
($149,000,000)
A substantial renovation of the subject is in process. This appraisal assumes habitable condition prior to renovation in accordance with the client’s request. The cost to complete the renovation of units already gutted for rehabilitation is not considered herein. It is noted that the subject’s actual physical vacancy rate (20.6%) was elevated as of the date of inspection/valuation since the owners had commenced lease terminations to create vacancies for the proposed renovation.
This appraisal assignment was completed without the benefit of current engineering and environmental site assessment reports. If subsequently completed reports reveal the need for significant immediate repairs or if significant environmentally hazardous conditions exist, this valuation would be adversely impacted.

ESTIMATE OF REASONABLE EXPOSURE TIME
Reasonable Exposure Time is defined in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice as the length of time the property interest being appraised would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market value on the effective date of the appraisal; a retrospective estimate based upon an analysis of past events assuming a competitive and open market.
Exposure time required for properties in this area is generally impacted by normal market factors such as availability of financing, cash positions of investors, individual property conditions, and the general economic climate. The estimate of reasonable exposure time is that period of time presumed to have occurred prior to the consummation of a sale of the subject property at the value estimate. Based upon conversations with apartment brokers active in this market most stabilized projects are marketed for about 3 to 6 months prior to contracting, another 3 to 6 months passes prior to settlement. This estimate takes into account the desirable nature of the subject’s location and improvements. Competition for properties like the subject would be considerable. While normal exposure time would typically be one year, the good demand for projects like the subject in this market could shorten the exposure time in half.
The estimate of reasonable exposure time is that period of time presumed to have occurred prior to the consummation of a sale of the subject property at the value estimate. Based on the above discussion, the subject’s exposure time would have been 6 to 12 months prior to sale as a rental project.

Appraiser’s Certification |
DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE: The most probably price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: (1) buyer and seller are typically motivated; (2) both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what he considers his own bet interest; (3) a reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market; (4) payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and 95) the price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions* granted by anyone associated with the sale.
*Adjustments to the comparables must be made for special or creative financing or sales concessions. No adjustments are necessary for those costs which are normally paid by sellers as a result of tradition or law in a market area; these costs are readily identifiable since the seller pays these costs in virtually all sales transactions. Special or creative financing adjustments can be made to the comparable property by comparisons to financing terms offered by a third Party institutional lender that is not already involved in the property or transaction. Any adjustment should not be calculated on a mechanical dollar for dollar cost of the financing or concession but the dollar amount of any adjustment should approximate the market’s reaction to the financing or concessions based on the appraiser’s judgment.
STATEMENT OF LIMITING CONDITIONS AND APPRAISER’S CERTIFICATION
CONTINGENT AND LIMITING CONDITIONS: The appraiser’s certification that appears in the appraisal report is subject to the following conditions:
1. The appraiser will not be responsible for matters of a legal nature that affect either the property being appraised or the title to it. The appraiser assumes that the title is good and marketable and, therefore, will not render any opinions about the title. The property is appraised on the basis of it being under responsible ownership.
2. The appraiser has provided a sketch in the appraisal report to show approximate dimensions of the improvements and the sketch is included only to assist the reader of the report in visualizing the property and understanding the appraiser’s determination of its size.
3. The appraiser has examined the available flood maps that are provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or other data sources) and has noted in the appraisal report whether the subject site is located in an identified Special Flood Hazard Area. Because the appraiser is not a surveyor, he or she makes no guarantees, express or implied, regarding this determination.
4. The appraiser will not give testimony or appear in court because he or she made an appraisal of the property in question, unless specific arrangements to do so have been made beforehand.
5. The appraiser has estimated the value of the land in the cost approach at its highest and best use and the improvements at their contributory value. These separate valuations of the land and improvements must not be used in conjunction with any other appraisal and are invalid if they are so used.
6. The appraiser has note in the appraisal report any adverse conditions (such as needed repairs, depreciation, the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) observed during the inspection of the subject property or that he or she became aware of during the normal research involved in performing the appraisal. Unless otherwise stated in the appraisal report, the appraiser has no knowledge of any hidden or unapparent conditions of the property or adverse environmental conditions (including the presence of hazardous wastes, toxic substances, etc.) that would make the property more or less valuable, and has assumed that there are no such conditions and makes no guarantees or warranties, expressed or implied, regarding the condition of the property. The appraiser will not be responsible for any such conditions that do exist or for any engineering or testing that might be required to discover whether such conditions exist. Because the appraiser is not an expert in the field of environmental hazards, the appraisal report must not be considered as an environmental assessment of the property.
7. The appraiser obtained the information, estimates, and opinions that were expressed in the appraisal report from sources that he or she considers to be reliable and believes them to be true and correct. The appraiser does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of such items that were furnished by other parties.
8. The appraiser will not disclose the contents of the appraisal report except as provided for in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
9. The appraiser has based his or her appraisal report and valuation conclusion for an appraisal that is subject to satisfactory completion, repairs, or alterations on the assumption that completion of the improvements will be performed in a workmanlike manner.
10. The appraiser must provide his or her prior written consent before the lender/client, specified in the appraisal report can distribute the appraisal report (including conclusions about the property value, the appraiser’s identity and professional designations, and references to any professional appraisal organizations or the firm with which the appraiser is associated) to anyone other than the borrower, the mortgagee or its successors and assigns; the mortgage insurer; consultants; professional appraisal organizations; any state or federally approved financial institution; or any department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States or any state or the District of Columbia; except that the lender/client may distribute the property description section of the report only to data collection or reporting service(s) without, having to obtain the appraiser’s prior written consent. The appraiser’s written consent and approval must also be obtained before the appraisal can be conveyed by anyone to the public through advertising, public relations, news, sales, or other media.

APPRAISER’S CERTIFICATION: The appraiser certifies and agrees that:
1.

5. I have no present or contemplate future interest in the subject property, and neither my current of future employment nor my compensation for performing this appraisal is contingent on the appraised value of the property.

8. I have personally inspected the interior and exterior areas of the subject property and the exterior of all properties listed as comparables in the appraisal report. I further certify that I have noted any apparent or known adverse conditions in the subject improvements, on the subject site, or on any site within the immediate vicinity of the subject property of which I am aware and have made adjustments for these adverse conditions in my analysis of the property value to the extent that I had market evidence to support them. I have also commented about the effect of the adverse conditions on the marketability of the subject property.
9. I personally prepared all conclusions and opinions about the real estate that were set forth in the appraisal report. No one other than David S.
