Executive Summary

Biltmore Properties, Shamrock Acquisitions, and EB-5 Equity Development Partners is pleased to present the unique opportunity for EB-5 investors to invest

in the A-Class equity of Merced Station, a 270-unit, 885-bed student-housing development with 6,600 ft.2 of retail space serving the students of University of

California – Merced. This timely and well positioned development represents the first significant off-campus housing for UC Merced and will help to satisfy

both current and future housing needs of this rapidly expanding university. The University of California Regents have recently adopted and funded the UC

Merced 2020 Plan. This plan is supported by a fully funded $1.3 Billion capital deployment with a primary focus of pushing enrollment to 10,000 students by

September 2020 (a significant increase from the 2017 enrollment of 7,976, which is a 10% increase from 2016). These additional students will amplify an

already existing housing crisis in Merced. Currently, over 5,500 students live off campus, by 2020 that number will swell to over 6,100 students. Merced does

not have designated student housing facilities and Merced Station is currently the only project in development. Long term projections are for UC Merced to

follow a traditional UC system’s growth path toward 25,000 to 30,000 students. Additionally, 11,552 students are enrolled at nearby Merced College and it is

our expectation that they will account for roughly 20% of the tenant base at Merced Station.

This offering is for up to $12 million in A-class equity, which will grant the Merced Station EB-5 Limited Partnership a 5% preferred return as well as 35% of

the profits the venture generates. The compounded annualized growth rate of the equity is expected to be in excess of 15% over a 4-5-year period with total

returns in excess of 70%. Based on current estimates this project will be completed in time to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for the 2021/22 academic

year and is expected to create over 600 jobs, or over 30 jobs per EB-5 investor.

During the design and entitlement process, UC Merced was very supportive of Merced Station by providing direct input on features that would appeal to UC

students. During this collaborative effort between UC Merced, Biltmore and Shamrock jointly held student focus groups to provide direct overview and

comments on the planned design and amenities. The UC community suggested a fitness center, green architecture, retailers geared to student needs, swimming

pool, study space, and state of the art internet and technology available to all residents. Current plans exceed the University’s vision and incorporate all these

amenities into the master plan along with other desirable features (volleyball, basketball, fire pits, etc.). The Merced Station ownership has employed industry

experts as consultants and has modeled the project by analyzing national and regionally successful student housing complexes. For this development, we are

estimating a 26-month construction timeframe with total costs of approximately $79.9 million. Based on a careful analysis of the student housing market, we

believe that by year-end 2021 this project will achieve a market value in excess of $106,000,000. This estimate is supported by a recent appraisal completed by

CBRE in September of 2018. Applying the same capitalization rate used in 2021 valuation, 2022 and 2023 values are expected to be $111,643,511 and

$118,509,645, respectively. Upon completion, Merced Station will be poised for either a highly profitable disposition, or a long-term hold that provides

handsome and steady returns for EB-5 investors.

City of Merced - Zoning

Zone 1:

• No current city services.

• No capacity for sewer.

• Currently owned by various home

and land owners.

• No development currently possible.

Zone 2:

• Rural residential zoning.

• Located in County of Merced.

• No city services.

• Master plan is to add sewer capacity

over the next 8 to 10 years

Summary:

When the Merced Station project was started,

the number one concern was distance to the

school and being “leap frogged.” We are no

longer concerned of this given the above

zoning descriptions and frequent

reassurances from the city of no activity.
