Background • 1973: Development of the Summit • Land for the Summit was donated to the City of Houston by Greenway Plaza, Ltd. • Use of the land was restricted for 30 years to municipal sports arena only, and then to certain limited commercial uses. • Construction cost of $18MM provided by venue revenues, not by the City. • The City entered into a 30-year management agreement with Arena Operating Co. for operation of the Summit; facility operated at no cost to the City.
2000: Development of Toyota Center • Harris County Houston Sports Authority and Rocketball, Ltd. established structure for development of Toyota Center. • City of Houston and Sports Authority entered into Interlocal Agreement. • Allowed Rockets to play at Compaq Center (f/k/a the Summit) through the 2002/2003 NBA Season. • Included non-compete provisions regarding future use of Compaq Center that will remain after sale.
2001: Lease to Lakewood Church • With venue operating agreement ending and development of Toyota Center, the City issued a Request for Proposals to redevelop Compaq Center. • Following RFP process, on July 3, 2001, the City designated Lakewood Church as the successful proposer, and entered into lease negotiations. • On December 28, 2001, the City entered into a Lease Agreement with Lakewood. • Initial term until 2034. • $11.87MM pre-paid rent, not credited against purchase price. • Renewal option to extend term an additional 30 years, with $753,333 annual rent starting in 2034. • City incurs no operating costs of the property. • Lakewood Church has invested over $90MM of its own money to redevelop the property specifically for its rented use.
2009: Proposed Sale • The City approached Lakewood Church about a sale of the City’s residual interest in the land and improvements that are currently subject to the Lease Agreement. • Idea to generate current FY cash flow for the City through sale (otherwise, no cash flow until 2034). • On October 21, 2009, City Council authorized the appointment of two independent appraisers to determine the value of the City’s interest in the property. • Appraisal determined the net present value of the City’s interest was approximately $7.7MM. • The City and Lakewood negotiated a Purchase Agreement based on that appraised value. • Lakewood pays all closing costs. • Lakewood agreed to a 10-year commitment to continue to operate the facility in the same manner and provide community services.
Lakewood Sale Preparations 10 months to date • Internal financial feasibility analysis • Appraisals • Negotiation of Development Agreement • Environmental Documentation Review • Investigation of Non-Compete Limitations • Outside counsel engaged to assist with negotiations regarding restrictions (Aaron Roffwarg of Bracewell & Giuliani)
Appraisers • Appointment by City Council Motion 09-761, 10/21/2009 • Lewis Realty Advisors • David Lewis, CRE, MAI, SRA (50+ years) • Kim Kobriger, MAI, MRICS (30+ years) • Integra Realty Resources (review appraiser) • David Dominy, MAI (28+ years) • Keith Gossett, MAI (20+ years
Appraisal • Considered the highest and best use of the property. • Analyzed present value of future cash flows that will accrue to the City under the Lease Agreement. • Analyzed net present value of the land to the City, at the end of the lease. • Improvements deemed to have zero value after 90 years (i.e., original 30 years from 1973, plus 60 year Lakewood Lease). • Demolition cost contemplated in future. • Looked at residual land value, based on comps in the area.
Factors Considered inHighest & Best Use Analysis • Lease Agreement encumbers the site. • Land use restrictions limit uses of the site. • Interlocal Agreement non-compete restricts use. • Improvements by Lakewood Church affect potential use of facility. • Parking and Other agreements needed for operations (Lakewood’s risk).
Appraisal Process • Value the income stream (discounted cash flow) • Value the residual land (comparables) • Value the residual improvements (demo) • Adjust residual values to end of the term (FV) • Determine present value of residual land minus demo (PV) • Present Value of income + residual land = value of asset
Appraisal Assumptions • Lakewood has a favorable renewal option and they will take the 30 year extension • Any landlord’s first opportunity to redevelop the site with be after the renewal term (2064) • When the lease is up, building will be 90 years old and require demolition for best use of land. • 3% inflation rate (average 5 year CPI change) • 6% discount rate (time value of money)
4 Part Built Up Discount Rate • Risk Free Rate 4.330% • Average 10 year Treasury Note • Non-liquidity (high) 1.250% • lease encumbrances • multiple restrictions on use • Management (low) 0.250% • little involvement in asset management • Risk (low) 0.250% • prepayment of rent • favorable renewal terms TOTAL 6.080% (rounded) 6.000% *The lower the rate, the higher the value *Vetted by COH financial advisors *Industry standard principle *Appraiser’s expertise
HISD LandHow does our land compare? • 2006 closing • 24.2 acres at Richmond & Weslayan • Available for immediate redevelopment • Unrestricted • $38 Million with $1.5 Million for demo • $37.50 per square foot
Appraisal: Residual Land Value • Determine the value of the land if vacant • $75 X 302,524 sqft = $22,689,300 today • Land value would escalate at 3% inflation over the term • $22,689,300 today = $105,525,345 in 2064 dollars • Determine the value/liability of the structure • The building would need to be demolished to realize highest and best use at the end of the lease • $1,250,000 in demolition costs today would escalate to $5,813,607 • Return the Future Value to Present Value • Land and Demo future values are then calculated for present value using an interest rate of 6% over the term. • What is $99,711,738 in 2064 worth today? $4,817,717 LAND VALUE less DEMO (3% inflation) FV calculated in PV (6% discount rate) 2010 2034 2064
Present Value of Cash Flow • NPV = Sum of the Present Values for the out years. • PV= $753,333/1.06^t, where t equals years from now • $753,333 in 2034 dollars = $175,526 in 2010 dollars • $753,333 in 2035 dollars = $165,590 in 2010 dollars • $753,333 in 2036 dollars = $156,217 in 2010 dollars ……through 2064 • Add all these up to get the sum of the remaining terms • Net Present Value of the revenue stream = $2,877,591
Market Value Estimate Net Present Value of Future Income $2,877,591 Net Present Value of Land + $4,817,717 $7,695,308 Rounded $7,700,000
Limiting Factors • Development Agreement • 10 year requirement to own and operate in the same manner • Lakewood’s Capital Investment • $90 Million of improvements specific to Lakewood’s special use • Ability to resell and recover capital is limited
Purchase and Sale Agreement • Contract • Final Purchase Price ($7.5 Million) • Timeline: Close within 45 days • Agreement not to enforce Deed Restrictions on Church use • Deed • Restrictions on use (recites previously documented restrictions) • Easements • Development Agreement • 10 year hold period operating in same fashion • Community Services requirement
Summary • Sale would bring $7.5MM into the General Fund in the current Fiscal Year. • With sale, Lakewood will agree to provide community services from the property for 10 years. • Without sale, lease will continue as-is, and City will not receive any revenues from the property until 2034. • The property is affected by the existing lease, other use restrictions, and physical improvements that significantly limit the marketability of the property. • Sale price is based on appraisal of the City’s residual interest in the property. • Lakewood received no credit for $11.87MM pre-paid rent. • The appraisal provided a present cash value based on anticipated future payments.
