NORTHPOINT |CHALLENGES OF URBAN PARKING

Parking doesn’t pay for itself (Challenging Returns & Underwriting) High costs in urban markets ($50,000 - $100,000 per space) In-efficient use of parking spaces (Sitting vacant at different times for different uses)

Permit Challenges Above grade parking undesirable by neighborhoods and counts against FAR Desire to Reduce Trip Generation by cities and towns

Market Challenges Commercial Broker & Tenant Resistance to lower parking ratios Limited precedent/examples of Shared Parking Shared versus Reserved Parking

Result: Projects with too much Parking

Major City Benefit of Capping Peak Hour Vehicular Trips

NORTHPOINT |PARKING PARAMETERS

Flexibility within the NorthPoint District: Residential uses (min. of 0.5 spaces/unit, max. of 1.0 space/unit, avg. of 0.75 spaces/unit) Ability for early parcels to build more parking (1.25 spaces per 1,000 SF) Improved Tenant flexibility for parking supply (Less restrictions within District) Improved parking efficiencies, revenue per space and parking returns (Market Driven)

Supporting Factors for Shared Parking Strategy Mixed-Use Development Parcel (Ability to Share Parking) NorthPoint has a detailed PTDM Plan (Joint City & Developer Effort) Shifting Demographics Trends (Age Profile, Urban, Car Ownership %) Two Subway Lines and the EZ Ride Shuttle Alternate Modes (Hubway, Zipcar)

Shared Parking Challenges Comfort level for Lenders & Investors (Leasing & Sale) Comfort level for Brokers and Tenants (Perception vs. Reality) Retail and public parking
