EXHIBIT 3 Public Pay Parking Lot Valbridge MARKET ANALYSIS PROPERTY ADVISORS Regional Office Market The subject property is within Orange County, which is part of the larger Southern California area. The Southern California office market consists of four major market areas. These include the Inland Empire, Los Angeles County, Orange County, and San Diego County. Office information for these areas is provided in the following table and was obtained from 3rd Quarter 2016 Costar Office Market Reports. The Southern California Office Market contains 774.0 million square feet of space. Projects in this market ranged from high-rise office towers to low-rise office buildings. The largest concentration of space was in Los Angeles County, with 433.0 million square feet of inventory, due primarily to the fact that Los Angeles County had a population of approximately 10 million. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TOTAL OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEW Source: Costar 3rd Quarter 2016 As shown in the table above, the markets outside of Los Angeles County were significantly smaller, with inventory levels ranging from approximately 73.1 to 154.0 million square feet. Overall, vacancy rates have remained relatively stable to improving since the recession, which started in 2007. Orange County has the lowest vacancy in the region at 8.9%. This is a decrease since the end of the year, 2015, which were 10.3% and 21/2 percentage points below the 11.5% vacancy at the end of 2013. All the markets were substantially impacted by the recession as many small service type businesses and the mortgage industry were significantly hit during this period. These made up a large portion of the office tenancy in the region, which remains slow to recover. All counties had positive absorption in the third quarter, 2016. This follows a year, 2015, which experienced a positive absorption in all four quarters. Although some new construction is occurring, the amount of space developed is limited relative to the base inventory and well off its highs established in 2007. Due to financing constraints, speculative construction has not been occurring. As a result, most new projects involved either owner/user development or multi -tenant projects with significant pre -leasing. With such criteria, some new construction was feasible in select locations, especially with urban and suburban locations in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties.
