mixed -use project. Preliminary findings were delivered approximately 3 weeks after receipt of information, <br />shared with the developer the following week, and a refined analysis and comprehensive draft report was <br />presented within less than 2 months. The report evaluated the financial feasibility and fiscal and economic <br />benefits of the project for both the City and County of Los Angeles, and lays the groundwork for ongoing <br />negotiations on a revised funding agreement for City participation in the financing. <br />Contact: John Wickham, Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst <br />213.473.5738 <br />RSG Staff: Jim Simon, Brandon Fender, and Dima Galkin <br />ECONOMIC & REAL ESTATE CONSULTING SERVICES - CITY OF SAN CARLOS <br />During the past eight years, RSG has worked with the City of San Carlos on a variety of economic <br />development, affordable housing, and real estate efforts. Projects have included property acquisitions, <br />market analyses, Opinion of Value Reports, financial pro forma modeling, annexation proceedings, and <br />redevelopment implementation plans. RSG has prepared development programming analyses, <br />conducted developer outreach, performed financial analyses, and reuse valuations to assist in identifying <br />appropriate disposition terms for Agency -owned properties proposed for redevelopment. <br />Over the last several years RSG has played a key role in the progress of one of the City's most important <br />projects, Wheeler Plaza, The TOD project is located in the center of the City's downtown and will <br />redevelop a City -owned surface parking lot and six other retail and residential buildings. It includes 108 <br />condominiums, a 451 -space parking garage, 19,855 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and a 31- <br />unit very -low income senior tax credit equity project. When RSG was retained in 2006, the project was <br />nearly dead. Through RSG's leadership and project management, the necessary parcels were <br />purchased, a developer was selected through an extensive RFP process, and the Agency's investment <br />was reduced (while increasing project benefits). RSG assisted the City with identifying and executing an <br />economic strategy, including the current and ongoing development cost and feasibility analysis, <br />acquisition using layered financing, solicitation and analysis of developer proposals, and expected <br />disposition of property for a proposed hotel development. RSG's involvement also entailed ground lease <br />valuation and buyout negotiations with an adjacent property owner. <br />Contact: Al Savay, Community Development Director <br />650.802.4209 <br />RSG Staff: Alexa Smittle, Jim Simon, Suzy Kim, and Brandon Fender <br />In addition to the case studies referenced above, the table below presents some of our recent related <br />projects. <br />Lna uate <br />ATKINS / City of Santa Monica <br />Roberts Center Development Agreement <br />2013 <br />Analysis (Santa Monica) <br />City of San Carlos <br />San Carlos Transit Village Feasibility Study, <br />2013 <br />Fiscal Impact Analysis and BMR Analysis <br />County of Orange <br />The Ranch Affordable Housing Development <br />2013 <br />Fiscal Analysis <br />City of Santa Monica <br />Economic Impact/Nexus Analysis for <br />2013 <br />Affordable Housing Inclusionary Fee <br />City of Westminster <br />Civic Campus Redevelopment Program <br />2013 <br />Analysis <br />City_of Dana Point <br />_ Towne Center Devel menC Feaslbilit <br />2013 <br />25A -12 <br />
