RE:
Appraisal of two adjacent industrial buildings under the same ownership although on
separate sites located 40 and 50 Fordham Road in the Town of Wilmington,
Middlesex County, MA 01887. The property located at 40 Fordham Road, also known
as Buildings 1 and 1A which are attached, contains a total of 233,172 gross square
feet of high bay warehouse space and mezzanine office. The property located at 50
Fordham is an office/flex/manufacturing facility that was renovated in 2008 and has
79,140 square feet of gross building area.
Dear Ms Dube:
In accordance with your request, I have prepared an appraisal report of the above-referenced
properties.
This report is issued in compliance with the minimum standards prescribed in the Uniform
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and Title XI of the Financial Institution
Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). This is an appraisal report, which
is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2 of the
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) for an appraisal report formerly
known as a Summary Appraisal Report as Standard 2.2 (b) in the 2012-2013 Uniform Standards
of Professional Appraisal Practice.
The purpose of this report is to express my opinion of the market value of the Leased Fee
interest in the subject property. The date of the “As Is” valuation is December 10, 2014. The
property was inspected on December 10, 2014 and it is in this context that the property has been
valued, including my analysis of local and regional market conditions, including comparable
sales. I considered all generally accepted approaches to valuation and, as discussed in the report,
I have relied on the Income Capitalization and Sales Comparison Approaches in developing my
opinion. The Cost Approach was considered but not completed, as it was not felt to lead to a
reasonable estimate of value.
This report is subject to normal limiting conditions and assumptions, as well as, if any, specific
non-standard limitations that have been disclosed or expressed to me and are outlined in the
accompanying report. The intended use of this report is to assist the client, Eagle Bank with its
mortgage financing. The appraisal has not been based on a requested minimum valuation.

Also, as noted in the Reconciliation and Final Value Estimate section of this report, given current
market conditions and specifics relating to the subject property, an exposure to the market time
period of six to twelve months is considered likely at the indicated value estimate.
40 FORDHAM ROAD
It is, therefore, my opinion that the market value of the “As Is” Leased Fee interest of the
subject property under review, in accordance with the assumptions and limiting conditions
prescribed in the report, as of the date of December 10, 2014, is fairly represented by the amount
of:
“As Is” Opinion of Market Value
$9,960,000
Nine Million Nine Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars
50 FORDHAM ROAD
Likewise, it is my opinion that the market value of the “As Is” Leased Fee interest of the subject
property under review, in accordance with the assumptions and limiting conditions prescribed in
the report, as of the date of December 10, 2014, is fairly represented by the amount of:
“As Is” Opinion of Market Value
$7,560,000
Seven Million Five Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE
Market value is defined as “the most probable price which a property should bring in a
competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each
acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus.
Implicit in this definition are the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of
title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
 The buyer and seller are typically motivated.
 Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their own
best interests.
 A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.
 Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements
comparable thereto.
 The price represents the normal consideration for the property sold unaffected by special
or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.”1
LEASED FEE INTEREST
“A freehold (ownership interest) where the possessory interest has been granted to another party
by creation of a contractual landlord-tenant relationship (i.e., a lease).”2
PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the current 'As Is' market value for financing
purposes. The subject properties are located at 40 and 50 Fordham Road, in the Town of
Wilmington, Middlesex County, MA.

APPRAISAL DATE
The effective date of this appraisal is December 10, 2014, and is based on the inspection, data,
analyses and conclusions on that date.
INTENDED USE OF REPORT
This appraisal is intended to assist the clients, Eagle Bank, to appropriately estimate the market
value of the Leased Fee interest for mortgage financing.
INTENDED USERS OF REPORT
The intended users of this report are Eagle Bank and their successors and/or assigns.
SCOPE OF ASSIGNMENT
In preparing this appraisal, the appraiser:
1. Inspected the interior and the exterior of the subject property on December 10, 2014.
2. Gathered and analyzed data on regional, city and neighborhood characteristics.
3. Gathered pertinent data regarding the subject property and recent sales of high bay warehouse
properties and office/flex/manufacturing buildings in the general market area.
4. Analyzed the site characteristics, existing improvements, existing and potential zoning,
surrounding land uses, and supply and demand to establish the highest and best use of the site.
5. Analyzed the comparable property data to arrive at a probable range of value for the subject via
the Sales Comparison Approach and analyzed the income and expenses of the property to arrive
at a probable range of value for the subject via the Income Capitalization Approach. The Cost
Approach was not considered applicable to this analysis due to the age and condition of the
improvements, which would make the estimation of accrued obsolescence from all sources
extremely difficult and of questionable relevance and the fact that market participants
purchased properties based on their economics.
6. Reconciled the results of these analyses into a final market value for the subject property.
7. In connection with this assignment, the appraiser was provided or collected the following
14113-8
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
items, which will be referenced in this report.

A copy of the title commitment/title policy from the Middlesex County Registry of Deeds
and a Purchase and Sale Agreement.

Site plans for the subject from the Wilmington Assessor’s Office and Middlesex County
Registry of Deeds.


The property card and assessment data from the Wilmington Assessor’s Office.
Limited expense information was provided by the owner.
8. In connection with this assignment, the appraiser interviewed and/or obtained information
from:

The owner of the property

The Zoning, Inspectional Services, and Assessor’s Departments of the Town of
Wilmington

FEMA Flood Maps

Real Estate Brokers

Real Estate Owners and/or Property Managers

Real Estate publications from several commercial real estate companies.
To develop the opinion of value, the appraiser completed an appraisal that conforms to the
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, in which all approaches to value were
considered in order to achieve a credible opinion of value. This appraisal report is a
recapitulation of the appraiser’s data, analyses and conclusions. Supporting documentation is also
retained in the appraiser’s files.

EXPOSURE TIME AND MARKETING TIME
Marketing Time is defined as: “An opinion of the amount of time it might take to sell a real or
personal property interest at the concluded market value level during the period immediately after
the effective date of an appraisal. Marketing time differs from exposure time, which is always
presumed to precede the effective date of the appraisal."3 The appraised property would be
expected to sell within a marketing period of 6-12 months after the effective date of value.
Exposure Time is defined as: “The estimated length of time the property interest being appraised
would have been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at market
value on the effective date of appraisal; a retrospective estimate based on an analysis of past
events assuming a competitive and open market."4
Exposure time varies with the type of real estate and value range. A reasonable exposure period
is a function of the price, time and use. Exposure time can be dependent upon the action of the
seller as well as market forces, capital availability, the degree of exposure and the number of
competitive offerings. An unrealistically high asking price may artificially lengthen the exposure
time. Weak market conditions may also act to extend exposure periods. In this case, I believe it
would take 6-12 months or less to sell this property from the date of appraisal.
COMPETENCY PROVISION
The appraiser is professionally competent to perform this appraisal assignment by virtue of
previous experience with similar assignments and appropriate research and education regarding
the specific property type being appraised. The professional qualifications of the appraiser are
included in this report's addendum for specific reference.
LICENSE PROVISION
The appraiser is a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser and is licensed by the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts to perform this appraisal assignment. All continuing education requirements
have been met. Mr. Scott M. Cochrane's license expires on March 1, 2016.

AREA AND NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION
Location Description – Wilmington
The subject property is located along the eastern side of Fordham Road just west of the
intersection of Fordham Road and Concord Street and Exit 39 off Route 93.
The town of Wilmington is a suburban industrial town occupying 17.2 square miles of the
watershed of the Ipswich River. Wilmington borders the towns of Andover, North Reading,
Reading, Woburn, Burlington, Billerica, and Tewksbury. Much of Wilmington was built on or
still is wetlands. The Ipswich River starts in Wilmington, and the Shawsheen River forms part of
Wilmington's border with Billerica.
The town had a primarily agricultural economy, with residents growing fruit, vegetables and
cranberries, but also had a number of slaughterhouses. The major industry in Wilmington,
however, was the Perry, Cutler and Company tannery. Since 1940 the population more than
quadrupled with particular growth between 1950 and 1965 after the completion of Route 128.
Although the town remained principally a farming community during the 18th, 19th and early
20th century, producing milk and eggs, suburban residential development has made a major
impact on Wilmington.
Today Wilmington is a mixed residential, commercial, industrial suburban community. It is
located 16 miles north /northwest of Boston and 11 miles southeast of Lowell. The town’s
14113-12
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
location allows for ready access to multiple modes of transportation. Interstates 495, 93 and 95
and Route 3 are within minutes of Wilmington. The Haverhill and Lowell MBTA commuter rail
lines make stops in Wilmington. Boston’s Logan International Airport and South Station,
terminus for the Amtrak rail line, are short commutes from Wilmington. Since Wilmington was
historically developed as a farming community, large sections of the town’s 17 square miles of
area remained undeveloped well into this century. The availability of buildable land and low to
moderate land values is in marked contrast to the urban communities that ring Boston. That
contrast coupled with Wilmington’s proximity to transportation modes which allow relatively
easy access to points throughout New England and beyond and Wilmington’s proximity to the
state’s capital city, the major technology and financial services businesses as well as medical and
educational institutions in the region have created significant growth pressures on the community.
A strong demand for housing and the completion of Interstate 93 in the early 60’s and Interstate
495 in the late 60’s were three major events, which spurred growth in this area. A strong economy
in the mid 1980’s and during the 1990’s has accelerated development across much of eastern
Massachusetts. As land and housing prices have increased in communities inside the Route 128
belt, businesses and homebuyers have come to Wilmington amongst other communities in search
of more affordable property. Other factors such as the desire to live in a more suburban setting,
concerns over public schools and crime have undoubtedly played a role in this migration. Growth
pressures have led to a significant reduction of open space in Wilmington. The consequence is
less land being available to satisfy the demands and needs of more people.

REGIONAL LOCATION
(Middlesex County is highlighted in pink and Wilmington is highlighted in red)
The headwaters of the Ipswich River are in Wilmington. The town is rich in water resources, as
evidenced by the wetlands that cover 25% of the town’s total area. Groundwater aquifers
underlying Wilmington supply the majority of the town’s drinking water, as well as neighboring
and downstream communities (See Map 1). While the ample supplies of drinking water were an
important factor in encouraging development, the town’s water resources also impose limits on
that development. Settlement patterns have focused on fragmented upland areas, and regional
concerns about groundwater quality and quantity have increased as development has encroached
upon the environmentally sensitive lands of Wilmington and surrounding communities.

Transportation
Transportation routes divide Wilmington, carrying traffic to Boston, Lowell, and neighboring
towns. Employees from throughout the region are drawn to industrial districts along Interstate 93
in the eastern section of town. The town’s shopping center along Route 38 brings considerable
traffic. Industrial and commercial centers in Woburn and Burlington and beyond attract passthrough traffic along Routes 62 and 38.
14113-17

MBTA Commuter Rail provides service from Boston's North Station with the Wilmington
station on its Lowell Line and the North Wilmington station on its Haverhill/Reading
Line. LRTA provides bus service from Wilmington station via Route 38 to Lowell Station.
Wilmington is very accessible by automobile and rail. There are 4 exits off Interstate 93, three
state routes (62, 129, and 38, which connects with route 128), and two MBTA commuter rail
stations. There is no bus transit, although the MBTA does provide The Ride, a paratransit service
for the elderly and disabled. Biking and walking are not always feasible given the spread out
pattern of development, and main roads are not always conducive to walking or biking.
While the town has an ongoing sidewalk improvement program designed to allow students to
walk safely to school, there is no similar effort to make existing roads more bicycle friendly. The
MAPC’s 1996 regional transportation plan places a high priority on a bike lane along route 38, as
well as bike racks at the town’s two commuter rail stations.
General Character of the Neighborhood
The subject property is located in the eastern section of Wilmington just east of Route 93 at Exit
39 and off the northern side of Concord Street less than one half of a mile from Route 93 and
abutting the reading town line to the east.
Fordham Road is a dead ended cul de sac developed with mostly office/flex/manufacturing
building and industrial uses. At the beginning of Fordham Road at the intersection of Fordham
Road and Concord Street and abutting the subject properties 40 Fordham Road building to the
south is the International Family Church although the building is designed more as of an office
building than a church.
Across Fordham Road to the west is at 99 Fordham Road is a 98,481 square foot multi-tenanted
complex of low bay office/warehouse space. Also across Fordham Road is the 100-110 Fordham
Road complex consisting of four buildings. This complex has two office buildings of 39,368 and
98,730 for a total of 138,098 square feet of office space, a research and development building
containing 22,701 square feet and a warehouse building containing 131,649 square feet all on a
40.1 acre site.
Further north along Fordham Road is 260 Fordham Road a 67,176 square foot light industrial
building with four tenants. At the end of the cul de sac is the Shriners Auditorium. All in all
Fordham Road is a commercial/industrial developed roadway.
In addition directly across the signalized intersection of Fordham Road and Concord Street is a
development known as Riverpark Drive. Riverpark drive has of five large buildings consisting of

SUBURBAN INDUSTRIAL MARKET
The subject property is located in what is considered the Route 128 North submarket. In
analyzing the 128 North submarket, several market research studies were relied on including
CBRE Suburban Boston Industrial Market View, Cushman Wakefield’s Marketbeat Industrial
Snapshot Q3 2014, CoStar and NAI Hunneman.
Source: CBRE
Overall, the amount of industrial space in the Route 128 North submarket area varies depending
upon the survey. Estimates range from 17,240,9435 square feet to 26,690,229 square feet of
industrial space in the Route 128 North submarket. The differences are largely due to differences
in the cities and towns included in each of their submarket boundaries.
14113-21
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
According to CBRE the Boston industrial market picked up steam in 2013 and 2014 and now is
nearing a strong recovery across all submarkets. There was a consistent and significant increase
in tenant and user/buyer velocity and consequently a stream of positive absorption and dwindling
availability. While the market for low-bay industrial space has remained static, the big story has
been a flight to quality, with distributors focused solely on modern, high bay warehouse space.
The decreasing supply of Class A availabilities has forced attention to low-bay space, which is
just now showing early signs of recovery. This trend should progress as the prospect of new
Class A availabilities seems challenged.
The solid absorption of and lack of quality supply for Class A warehouse space has pushed rents
upwards throughout the market. Class A warehouse space with 30’+ clear heights is now
commanding rental rates above $6.00/SF NNN, a level that has not been seen since the last
market cycle. The momentum is expected to continue and speculative construction is back on the
horizon. According to the CBRE Survey the 128 North Submarket has 14.1% availability and an
11.8% vacancy with average asking rents of $8.67 per square foot.
Source: CBRE
Cushman & Wakefield’s survey indicates an overall vacancy of 9.4% in the Route 128 North
submarket and an average rental rate of $6.63/SF for industrial space.

NAI Hunneman’s Survey places 26,690,229 square feet in the Route 128 North and 4,716,687 in
the 128 Northwest submarket. The vacancy rate in the 128 North Submarket is reported at 3.9%
and 6.4% in the 128 Northwest Submarket. Average rental rate are estimated at $7.07 in the 128
North Submarket and $6.89 in the 128 Northwest Submarket.
Source: NAI Hunneman Industrial Market Review Q2/2014
Overall, the entire Greater Boston Industrial market continued to trend in a positive direction.
This marks the eighth consecutive quarter of positive traction. Transaction activity has pushed
total industrial vacancy down year-over-year. Overall, continued tightening in the market and a
general lack of new supply will continue to strengthen market fundamentals, driving up rental
rates and potentially leading to build-to-suit and speculative construction discussions in 2015.
Moving forward, continuing positive absorption will strengthen market fundamentals and rents
should increase in certain well-located markets.
Economy
The U.S. economy is expanding at the fastest pace since 2003, providing ample evidence that
GDP growth will be on solid footing as 2015 begins. Equity markets are hovering near all-time
highs, unemployment is below 6 percent and falling, and job gains have been impressive — all
14113-24
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
reflective of strong economic momentum. Consumers echoed the good feelings as confidence
reached an eight-year high in December. In addition, with foreclosures from the housing crisis
beginning to fall off credit reports, home values have begun a solid recovery. This convergence of
positive trends will cause the Federal Reserve to deeply consider its interest rate strategies. The
headwinds still confronting growth include the sizable divergence between the health of the U.S.
economy and that of many of its trading partners, and risks spawned by the rapid plunge in oil
prices. Nonetheless, GDP growth should exceed 3 percent in 2015 and could surprise to the
upside, depending on Fed policies in the coming months.
GDP growth was 5 percent in the third quarter, the highest level achieved in 11 years. An increase
in consumer spending drove much of the gain during the period. Consumers contributed 2.2
percentage points of economic expansion as spending focused on healthcare. Businesses also
supported the rise in GDP through expenditures on software and structures. The impact of fiscal
drag is finally gone, which boosted spending by the government on a year-ago basis for the first
time since 2009.
Oil prices have fallen 40 percent since the most recent peak last summer, creating a ripple effect
throughout the world. In the U.S., commuters are partially redeploying the savings into
consumption, which helped drive last quarter’s blistering GDP growth.
The movement of goods from U.S. ports to manufacturers, retailers and distributors is supporting
a significant increase in transportation and warehouse staffing. Including the addition of 13,300
positions in October, more than 100,000 workers have been hired year to date to handle the
stocking and movement of goods. New space needs are also arising in warehouse and distribution
properties, keeping the national industrial vacancy rate on course to fall 100 basis points this year
to 7.1 percent.
Summary
Overall, the amount of industrial space in the Route 128 North Submarket area varies depending
upon the survey. Although market fundamentals are improving throughout the region, values for
industrial property continue to vary greatly depending on the location and circumstances of each
transaction.
Overall vacancy rates for the Route 128 North submarket vary depending upon the survey used,
with vacancy rates ranging from 3.9% to 11.0% for all industrial space.
Average rental rates ranged from $6.83 per square foot to $8.67 per square foot for all properties
and form a tighter range than the vacancy rates quoted.
14113-25
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
Although the different research overviews vary, the true numbers are most likely somewhere in
the middle. Taken as a whole these surveys all indicate a strengthening industrial market with
employment holding steady and relatively little new construction over the last several years,
which should increasingly constrict the availability of quality properties.

As the value requested in this analysis by the client is the “As Is” value for the property, I
accomplished this by first valuing the property “As Complete” as plans for the property call for it
to be leased and renovated on a rent-to-suit basis. The lease to Colonial System calls for the unit
to be fit up at a total cost of $1,737,797 or $19.52 per square foot. Added to the Colonial Systems
renovation is the cost to also renovate the 27,862 square feet of vacant mezzanine office space
totaling $35.00 per square foot or $975,170 for a total renovation cot of $2,712,967 or $23.21 per

40 and 50 FORDHAM ROAD REAR PARKING
In addition the income that the buildings provide, the rear of the paved parking area has been
leased to two tenants on a Tenant At Will basis.
TJX rents 75 tractor trailer parking spaces behind 40 Fordham Road property for 5 to 6 months
out of the year during their busy season at $100 per space per month providing additional income
of between $37,000 and $45,000 annually and have been doing so for over five years.
Similarly, Air Tiger rents 18 to 20 tractor trailer parking spaces behind 50 Fordham Road on a
Tenant at Will basis for a similar rental rate of $100 per parking space per month, considerably
adding $21,600 in income to the property.
As these two tenants do not have formal leases and are rented on a Tenant at Will basis and would
require a substantially higher capitalization rate than the income from the buildings I have not
included this cash flow in the income analysis.

The tax rate in the Town of Wilmington for residential property is $14.24 of assessed value and
the commercial property tax rate is $33.04 per thousand of assessed value. There is no add-on to
the tax expense for the Community Preservation Act.
The current assessment for 40 Fordham Road is not based on the to-be-renovated building.
Therefore I have reviewed other high bay warehouse properties in Wilmington to determine an
estimated assessment and tax expense for the renovated building. Several comparable properties
tax assessments and tax expenses are detailed in the following grid.

HIGHEST & BEST USE
A prerequisite to a meaningful valuation is a sound estimate of the most profitable likely use of a
property. Highest and best use is defined as "The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant
land or an improved property that is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially
feasible, and that results in the highest value. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet
are legal permissibility, physical possibility, financial feasibility, and maximum productivity.
Alternatively, the probable use of land or improved property—specific with respect to the user
and timing of the use—that is adequately supported and results in the highest present value."5
Implied within this definition is recognition of the contribution of that specific use to community
environment or development goals in addition to wealth maximization of individual property
owners. Also implied is that the determination of highest and best use result from the appraiser’s
judgment and analytical skills, i.e., that the use estimated from analysis represents an opinion, not
a fact to be found. In appraisal practice, the concept of highest and best use represents the
premise upon which value is based.
My analysis addresses four criteria of highest and best use. These are as follows:
Physically Possible
To what uses is it physically possible to put the site in
question?
Legally Permissible
What uses are permitted by zoning and deed restrictions on
the site in question?
Financially Feasible
Which possible and permissible uses will produce a net
return to the owner(s) of the site?
Maximally Productive
Among the feasible uses, which will produce the highest net
return or the highest present worth?
Highest and best use is analyzed in two steps. The first assumes the site is vacant and the second
analyzes it as improved.
Highest and Best Use – As Vacant - 40 Fordham Road
The subject property consists of a total of 946,994 square feet of land area or 21.740 acres. It is
located in the Town of Wilmington in an area of industrial development. The subject properties
are located in the Highway Industrial district and also in the Ground Water Protection District.
5 Ibid, Page 93.
14113-66
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
I find that if the land were vacant and available for development, it would be most suited for a
maximum density, industrial use in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood uses.
Highest and Best Use – As Improved - 40 Fordham Road
The subject is improved with a 233,172 gross square foot industrial building that is being
renovated on a rent-to-suit basis. The building was originally constructed in 1970 and occupied
by GE for a number of years. Currently Colonial Systems has signed a Letter of Intent to lease
89,040 square feet of Building 1 at 40 Fordham Road leaving about 27,862 square feet of second
floor office space available in Building 1. Building 1A at 40 Fordham Road having 104,273
square feet is being renovated and could be subdivided to accommodate smaller users.
I do not see any more efficient use of the site. I cannot identify a different improvement or use of
the subject building that would command greater demand (create additional value) for the
property than the current improvements. Therefore, the subject property’s highest and best use is
as improved as high bay warehouse space with supporting mezzanine office space.
Highest and Best Use – As Vacant - 50 Fordham Road
The subject property consists of a total of 507,038 square feet of land area or 11.64 acres. It is
located in the Town of Wilmington in an area of industrial development. The subject properties
are located in the Highway Industrial district and also in the Ground Water Protection District.
I find that if the land were vacant and available for development, it would be most suited for a
maximum density, industrial use in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood uses.
Highest and Best Use – As Improved - 50 Fordham Road
The subject is improved with a single-story 79,140 gross square foot office/flex/manufacturing
building occupied by AMETEK Inc. The building was renovated in 2008 to the tenants’
specifications as office, engineering lab space, manufacturing lab space and general
manufacturing. The building was originally constructed in 1970 and was also occupied by GE for
several years.
I do not see any more efficient use of the site. I cannot identify a different improvement or use of
the subject building that would command greater demand (create additional value) for the

property than the current improvements. Therefore, the subject property’s highest and best use is
as improved as an office/flex/manufacturing building.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY & ANALYSIS
There are three methods of estimating the value of real estate: the Sales Comparison Approach,
the Income Capitalization Approach and the Cost Approach.
The Sales Comparison Approach considers actual sales of similar properties that have occurred in
an open, competitive market. The basis for this approach is that a prudent buyer will guide his
actions by the behavior of others. This approach is usually expressed as a unit of comparison,
such as price per square foot, per room, per unit, etc.
The Income Capitalization Approach analyzes a property's capacity to generate net income and
converts this capacity into an indication of value. The Income Capitalization Approach reflects
the value of the subject relative to prevailing income levels, expenses and capitalization rates. It
is an approach seen through the eyes of an investor whose primary interest is cash profit as
opposed to amenity value. This approach is most effective when used for income-generating
properties that do not rely on owner-occupancy for an appreciable income stream.
The Cost Approach requires an estimate of value of the underlying land as though vacant and
available to be put to its highest and best use. The cost of the improvements, less accrued
depreciation, is then added to the land value to arrive at a total value indication. This approach is
usually most effective for properties that have relatively new improvements and in areas where
there may be similar land available for development. The Principle of Substitution dictates that a
potential buyer might not pay more for an existing property if he could build one for the same (or
less) effective cost.
The three approaches vary in importance in the course of each appraisal. There are cases where
all three may not be applicable to a particular appraisal problem, as in the case of a special
purpose property or the lack of satisfactory market data. All three approaches can play some role
through the appraisal process in arriving at a final value estimate and all three have been
considered in the preparation of this report.

APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
APPLICATION TO SUBJECT
In this report, the Sales Comparison and the Income Capitalization Approaches are illustrated.
The Cost Approach was not developed because investors typically do not place significant weight
on replacement costs when valuing a property like the subject.
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH - 40 FORDHAM ROAD
The Sales Comparison Approach is a valuation method based upon a comparative analysis of the
subject property with similar properties which have recently sold and for which the sales prices
and terms are known. Appropriate value adjustments are made to the most comparable sales to
compensate for differences in location and physical characteristics, as well as changes in market
conditions since the time of sale, special financing, property interest acquired, or special
conditions affecting the sale.
The various adjustments are made individually, and then all of the adjustments believed necessary
to compensate for the differences between the sale property and the subject are combined into an
overall adjustment factor. This factor is then applied to the sale price unit of comparison to arrive
at an indicated value for the subject property.
As a final step, the indicated values are weighed according to the sold properties’ degree of
comparability to the subject, thereby arriving at an indication of value by the Sales Comparison
Approach.
In estimating the market value via the Sales Comparison Approach, sales of comparable high bay
warehouse properties were analyzed and the most relevant data regarding sales and current
listings was considered. All data contained herein has been verified through sources considered
reliable. In all, I uncovered four sales of high bay warehouse properties considered comparable to
the subject properties.
Keep in mind that I have made adjustment based on the subject property “As Complete” being
completely renovated and tenant ready and deducted the renovation cost in determining the “As
Is” value of the subject property.
The unit of comparison is price paid per square foot of gross building area. Details of the four
most comparable sales used in this analysis are as follows:

Following is a discussion of the comparable sales and adjustments.
14113-75
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
Sale Price Adjustments – No adjustments to the comparable sales are considered necessary.
Property Rights Conveyed – No adjustment for property rights conveyed is considered necessary.
Financing – Favorable financing may influence the sale price of a property.
were considered necessary for financing.
No adjustments
Conditions of Sale – Unusual sale terms, such as sales at foreclosure auction, can affect the sale
price of a property. No adjustments for conditions of sale were considered necessary.
Market Condition – The sales all transferred between 2013 and 2014 in similar market conditions
and therefore do not require any adjustments.
Location – The subject property is located along Fordham Road with convenient access to Route
93 and in an industrially developed area. Sale #3 is considered to be in a superior location and
was adjusted downward.
Building Area – All sales are smaller than the subject property and smaller properties tend to sell
for more on a per square foot basis; therefore, all sales are adjusted downward.
Building Condition – The subject property is considered to be in average condition after
renovations. All of the sales are considered to be in average condition and no adjustment is
considered necessary.
Land Area/FAR – Floor area ratio is the ratio of building area to land area. A lower FAR reflects
a greater area of land in proportion to the overall building area, which is an advantage as it allows
for better parking, easier access to the building and possible expansion. Conversely, a higher
FAR indicates less available land area for parking, drive areas, and possible expansion. Although
the subject property has a larger land area than all of the comparable sales, a section of the
property has some wetlands. The exact area of the site that could possibly be unusable due to the
wetland was not available. Therefore for this analysis no adjustment is made for land area FAR.
Percent Office – The subject property will have about 12.5% office after renovations. Sales #1
and #3 have considerably more office and were adjusted downward.
Ceiling Height – The subject property has a 23 foot clear height. Sales #2 and #3 have a 30 foot
clear height and were adjusted downward.
Loading Docks: - Sale #1 has only three loading docks and was adjusted upward. Sales #2 and
#4 have 17 and 23 loading docks and were adjusted downward.
14113-76
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
Drive-In Doors: - The subject property has three drive–in doors. Sales #1 and #3 have 11 and 8
drive-in doors and were adjusted downward.
After adjustments, the comparable sales indicate a range of value of between $53 and $73 per
square foot producing an average adjusted price of $65 per square foot and a median adjusted sale
price of $66 per square foot.
As a final step, the indicated values are weighed according to the sold properties’ degree of
comparability to the subject, thereby arriving at an indication of value by the Sales Comparison
Approach.
All of the sales have differences from the subject property, however they are the best high bay
warehouse sales uncovered in the current market. In my opinion, the adjusted sale price of $65
per square foot is the most reasonable indicator of value for the subject property “As Complete”.
$65 per square foot X 233,172 square feet = $15,156,180
In determining the value of the subject property “As Is” the cost to renovate the property to the
same quality and condition of the comparable sales is deducted from the “As Complete” value.
The total costs of the renovations are estimated at $5,166,617. Deducting the renovation costs of
$5,166,617 from the “As Complete” indicated value produces the “As Is” value of the subject
property as follows.
“As Complete” Value
Less Renovation Costs
“As Is” Value
“As Is” Value Rounded
$15,156,180
$5,166,617
$9,989,563
$9,990,000
Therefore, my opinion of the "As Is" market value for the subject property located at 40
Fordham Road, via the Sales Comparison Approach, as of the date of inspection of December
10, 2014, is estimated at $9,990,000.
INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH - 40 FORDHAM ROAD
This approach is based on the assumption that the prudent investor will assess the quantity,
quality and durability of the income stream from a particular property and will pay no more for
the forecasted income than could be obtained from an alternative investment having a similar risk
profile.
14113-77
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
The subject is an 233,172 gross square foot high bay warehouse property with 221,175 square feet
of net rentable building area.
The two techniques considered for income capitalization are Direct Capitalization and Discounted
Cash Flow Analysis. In this case, I applied the Direct Capitalization method.
Direct Capitalization
This valuation methodology is based on an estimate of a single year’s stabilized net operating
income. The steps in this approach are listed as follows:
1. Estimate potential gross income, recoverable operating expenses, vacancy rates, and effective
gross income.
2. Estimate recoverable and non-recoverable operating expenses.
3. Estimate stabilized net operating income.
4. Select an appropriate capitalization method or technique and capitalize or discount the
estimated net operating income at a market-driven rate in order to arrive at an estimate of
value.
In order to estimate the potential gross income, I reviewed the comparable rents I uncovered in
the market and from several industrial property surveys of rental rates in the subject’s market area
and interviews with commercial/industrial real estate brokers who specialize in the subject’s
market area. The following schedule includes rents of industrial properties in the subject’s
market area.

Analysis
Comparable rents found in surveys for high bay warehouse buildings in the subject’s market area
range from $4.88 per square foot for a 74,928 foot square foot unit up to $7.95 per square for a
66,598 square foot unit. A much large building of 153,641 square feet was leased for $5.95 per
square foot. The bulk of the rents were in the $6.00 to $7.00 per square foot range, all being triple
net leases.
The subject has a lease proposal in place to lease 84,090 square feet to Colonial Systems for 10
years on a graduated scale starting at $5.00 per square foot increasing to $5.50 when all the space
is taken increasing every other year by $0.25 per square foot topping out at $6.25 per square foot
in years 9 and 10. According to several brokers interviewed, the Colonial Systems lease is
considered to be at the lower end of the range for high bay warehouse space in the 128 North
submarket.
Based on the location of the property, the size of building, the quality and condition of the
property, I have estimated a market rental rate of $6.50 per square foot for both the 52,136 square
foot units in Building 1A at the subject property on a NNN basis and $6.50 for the balance of the
office mezzanine space in Building 1.
Potential Gross Rent
Potential gross rent consists of the income generated from leasing the subject property at the
current estimated market rental rate. Current potential gross rental income is estimated at
$1,348,591.
Recoverable Operating Expenses
The subject property is assumed to be leased on a NNN basis where the tenant is responsible for
all of the operating expenses of the building. The owner is on responsible for the expenses when
the property is vacant. A schedule of recoverable operating expenses is detailed below.

Vacancy and Credit Loss Estimates
The vacancy allowance accounts for fluctuations in the gross income attributed to unexpected
vacancies due to tenant rollover, while the collection (credit) loss allowance recognizes loss in
income due to debt loss.
The previous industrial market surveys by CBRE indicated the 128 North Submarket had a 14.1%
availability and an 11.8% vacancy. The Cushman & Wakefield survey indicates an overall
14113-82
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
vacancy of 9.4% in the Route 128 North submarket and NAI Hunneman’s vacancy rate in the 128
North Submarket is reported at 3.9% and 6.4% in the 128 Northwest Submarket. Also mentioned
in the CBRE Survey was that there was a consistent and significant increase in tenant and
user/buyer acquisitions and consequently induced a stream of positive absorption and dwindling
availability. Transaction activity has pushed total industrial vacancy down year-over-year.
Therefore for this analysis I have estimated a stabilized vacancy rate of 10.00% for the subject
property slightly lower that the CBRE and Cushman Wakefield study and higher than the NAI
Hunneman survey.
Effective Gross Income
Effective gross income generally consists of potential gross income less an allowance for vacancy
and bad debt for a single stabilized operating year.

Operating Expense Analysis
For this analysis, the Post Master in charge of operating the subject property provided verbal
amounts for their expenses. Detailed below is my estimate of the stabilized expenses for the
subject property. The subject property is assumed to be leased on a NNN basis and the owner
would only be responsible for the expenses when the property was vacant.
Real Estate Taxes – In order to estimate a tax expense for the subject property “As
Complete” I reviewed assessment and taxes for other high bay warehouse buildings in
Wilmington previously discussed in the tax assessment section of this report. Real estate
taxes are set at $382,616.
Building Insurance – The insurance expense was provided for both building under a
package blanket policy at $88,457 or $0.28 per square foot. Based on 40 Fordham Road’s
gross building area of 233,312 sq. ft., the building’s insurance expenses is projected at
$65,327.
14113-83
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
Repairs and Maintenance –As the property will be totally renovated prior to it being
leased, I have estimated the repairs and maintenance that the owner would be responsible
for at 12,000 annually.
Utilities – All the utilities are assumed to be paid for by a tenant leasing the property and
no utility expenses was deducted.
Snow Removal and landscaping – I have used an estimated amount of $15,000 in this
analysis.
Management: I have included a management fee in my analysis at 4.00% of effective
gross income. The management fee is not included in the recoverable operating expenses.
Reserves for Replacement: A reserves for replacement fund is an amount allocated for
periodic replacement of building components during a property’s economic life. For this
analysis, I have used the mid-range of reserves for replacement expense of $0.20 per
square foot of gross building area. The reserves for replacement fee is not included in the
recoverable operating expenses.
Total Expenses
Total operating expenses for the subject property are detailed below. Expenses total $573,122 or
$2.46 per square foot of net rentable building area and 34.92% of the effective gross income,
which is in line with other high bay warehouse properties appraised by our firm.

CAPITALIZATION RATE DEVELOPMENT – 40 FORDHAM ROAD
To value the ownership of an income producing property, valuation models have been developed
to quantify the projected benefits from ownership. The capitalization rate is commonly referred
to as an expression of the ratio between one year's net operating income and value.
The overall rate utilized is generally obtained by three methods: a) market extraction, b) industry
surveys, and c) band of investment. The methods of deriving the appropriate capitalization rates
are as follows.
Extraction of Overall Rate
Extraction of overall rates from comparable sales is generally given primary consideration when
the income and expenses of a property that sold are verifiable. I uncovered four sales of industrial
properties where a capitalization rate could be extracted.
Below is a table of capitalization rates extracted from the market. It should be understood that the
calculations, methodology and/or figures used to arrive at these capitalization rates were not
available for review for accuracy. Nonetheless, this survey indicates capitalization rates ranging
from 6.75% to 8.75% with an average of 7.70%.

Industry Surveys
I reviewed two separate surveys (PwC and RealtyRates.com) for capitalization rates. Both
surveys PwC and RealtyRates.com are nationally-oriented surveys and tend to indicate a wider
range of rates because they cover the entire country or a region rather than individual sub-markets
or specific property types.
The PwC Investor Survey is displayed below.
14113-85
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
Source: 4th Quarter 2014 - PwC Real Estate Investor Survey
The PwC Survey indicated capitalization rates from 4.50% to 7.00% with an average of 5.82%.
According to the PwC Survey the warehouse industrial ranks as the top pick among investors with
regard to investment prospects in the year ahead, as per Emerging Trends in Real Estate® 2015,
published by PwC and ULI.
The optimism felt for this property type is due to rising demand trends and limited additions to
supply. According to one surveyed investor, the locale of the warehouse property and up-to-date
amenities are key attributes looked for by buyers. “Newly constructed, infill warehouses are one
of the hottest property types right now,” states a participant.
As investor demand has heated up, so have prices. Our Survey results show that prices in the
national warehouse market range from 80.0% to 125.0% of replacement cost and average 101.8%.
While some investors sense it’s a good time to buy warehouse assets, others recommend either
selling or holding them. “Sell or hold as it is too expensive to buy,” suggests a participant, who
believes that 2015 will be the most active year for warehouse property trades ever due to the
aggressive capital being placed by U.S. and overseas buyers.
In addition, RealtyRates.com for Warehouse and Distribution Centers was also reviewed and the
survey is detailed as follows.

Mortgage Equity Technique
I have developed a capitalization rate via the Mortgage Equity Technique, which recognizes the
influence of mortgage financing on the rates of return in real estate investments. Current indexes
14113-87
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
indicate a Long-Term Fixed Rate Loan program for stabilized properties with good occupancy
history, moderate leverage, satisfactory sponsors, and limited near-term rollover having interest
rates between 4.25% and 5.25% with a 25-year amortization. I have estimated an interest rate of
4.75% for the subject property with a 70.00% loan to value and an amortization of 20 years. I
have estimated that an equity yield rate of 12.00% would be necessary as of the effective date of the
appraisal in order to attract equity capital to a property of this type, considering the risk of tenant
turnover, age, condition, and overall investment characteristics of the property versus alternative
investments.
I have assumed a 5.00% appreciation factor over the 10-year holding period or 0.50% per year. The
table below details my assumptions and calculations for the Mortgage Equity Technique.

Capitalization Rate – Conclusion
The following capitalization rate was estimated per the following sources:
Extracted capitalizations rates ranged from 6.75% to 8.75% with an average of 7.70%. The PwC
and RealtyRate.com survey capitalization rates and extracted capitalization rates ranged from
4.50% to 11.56% with averages ranging from 5.82% to 8.35%.
The mortgage equity technique indicated a capitalization rate of 7.21% rounded to 7.25%.
Relying on the three methods I have applied a capitalization rate of 7.00% to the subject
property’s net operating income.

Applying the 7.00% capitalization rate to the stabilized net operating income of $1,068,059
indicates an “As Complete” market value by the Income Capitalization Approach of $15,257,982
which is rounded to $15,260,000 or $65 per square foot.
In determining the “As Is” Market Value of 40 Fordham Road the cost to complete the tenant fit
up and leasing commissions need to be deducted from the “As Complete” value of the property.
Leasing commissions are based on $5.00 per square foot of net rentable building area. The
Colonial Systems leasing commission is split between the listing broker and the leasing broker
and totals $454,828 or $5.01 per square foot based on the 89,040 square feet leased. Therefore I
have used the $5.00 per square foot leasing commission for the entire 221,174 square feet of net
rentable building area or $1,105,870.
The cost to fit up Building 1 for the Colonial System tenant is estimated at $1,737,797 or $19.52
per square foot and the cost to fit up the additional mezzanine office area is estimated at $975,170
or $35.00 per square foot. In addition the cost to fit up the entire Building 1A for use as a similar
high bay warehouse subdivided into two units of 52,136 square feet each is estimated at
$2,453,650 or $23.21 per square foot.
Deducting the total fit up costs for both Building 1 and Building 1A located at 40 Fordham Road
estimated at $5,166,617 from the “As Complete” value of $15,260,000 indicates an “As Is”
value of $9,962,683 rounded to $9,960,000 or $43 per square foot of gross building area.
Therefore, it is my opinion that the “As Is” market value for the subject property, via the Direct
Capitalization Technique of the Income Capitalization Approach, as of December 10, 2014, is
estimated at $9,960,000 or $43 per square foot. This value approximates what an investor would
pay to purchase the property and renovate it and collect the cash flow based on market rents for
the subject property for a return on investment.
RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE – 40 FORDHAM ROAD
The subject property is an 233,172 gross square foot high bay warehouse property located at 40
Fordham Road in Wilmington, MA.
In estimating the “As Is” Market Value, the Sales Comparison and Income Capitalization
Approaches were used and the results are detailed below.

Final Value Estimate
Not Applicable
$9,960,000
The Income Capitalization Approach, utilizing the Direct Capitalization method, was considered a
reliable valuation method in appraising the subject property. The Income Capitalization
Approach accurately reflects the expectations and criteria of investors for high bay warehouse
properties in the Town of Wilmington. The valuation of the property via this method considered
current contract rent at the subject property and market rents for similar industrial buildings in the
Wilmington area. Stabilized operating expenses were estimated from conversations with the
Postmaster and from other industrial properties appraised by our firm and from market-supported
assumptions regarding expectations for property yields were estimated. This approach reflects the
actions of buyers in the marketplace. The value indicated by the Income Capitalization Approach
is typically what an investor would pay for the property based on current market rents and
expenses for a return on his investment.
The Sales Comparison Approach reflects an estimate of value as indicated by the sales market and
concentrated on utilizing the most recent sales of similar high bay warehouse properties in the
area. Out of the sales investigated, four were chosen as the most reasonable comparable properties
to the subject property. Since no sales are exactly alike, adjustments were made to each sale for
the most obvious differences and the adjusted sales prices per square foot of gross building area
was used to indicate value for the subject property.
However the weakness in this approach is that none of the sales were truly comparable to the
subject, as evidenced by the range of sale prices per square foot for the comparable sales. While
14113-92
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
analysis of the major differences between the sales and the subject intuitively indicates that the
subject property value is, most likely, in the $70.00 to $90.00 per square foot range, the
adjustments for these differences are subjective, which limits the reliability of this valuation
method.
In the final analysis, I have on the Income Approach as this would mostly likely be the
methodology a purchaser of the property would evaluate the acquisition and I used the Sales
Comparison Approach as a check of reasonableness.
It is, therefore, my opinion that the market value of the Leased Fee interest of the subject
property located at 40 Fordham Road, in accordance with the assumptions and limiting
conditions prescribed in the report, and considered for its most productive use "As Is" as of
December 10, 2014 is fairly represented by the amount of:

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH - 50 FORDHAM ROAD
The Sales Comparison Approach is a valuation method based upon a comparative analysis of the
subject property with similar properties which have recently sold and for which the sales prices
and terms are known. Appropriate value adjustments are made to the most comparable sales to
compensate for differences in location and physical characteristics, as well as changes in market
conditions since the time of sale, special financing, property interest acquired, or special
conditions affecting the sale.
The various adjustments are made individually, and then all of the adjustments believed necessary
to compensate for the differences between the sale property and the subject are combined into an
overall adjustment factor. This factor is then applied to the sale price unit of comparison to arrive
at an indicated value for the subject property.
As a final step, the indicated values are weighed according to the sold properties’ degree of
comparability to the subject, thereby arriving at an indication of value by the Sales Comparison
Approach.
In estimating the market value via the Sales Comparison Approach, sales of comparable
office/flex/manufacturing properties were analyzed and the most relevant data regarding sales and
current listings was considered. All data contained herein has been verified through sources
considered reliable. In all, I uncovered four sales of office/flex/manufacturing properties
considered comparable to the subject property.
The unit of comparison is price paid per square foot of gross building area. Details of the four
most comparable sales used in this analysis are as follows:

Following is a discussion of the comparable sales and adjustments.
Sales Price Adjustments – No adjustments to the comparable sales are considered necessary.
Property Rights Conveyed – No adjustment for property rights conveyed is considered necessary.

Financing – Favorable financing may influence the sale price of a property.
were considered necessary for financing.
No adjustments
Conditions of Sale – Unusual sale terms, such as sales at foreclosure auction, can affect the sale
price of a property. No adjustments for conditions of sale were considered necessary.
Market Condition – The sales all transferred in 2013 in similar market conditions and therefore
do not require any adjustments.
Location – All of the sales are considered to be in similar location and no adjustments were
considered necessary.
Building Area – Sales #2and #4 are larger than the subject property and larger properties
generally sell for a lower price per square foot due to economies of scale. Therefore, upward
adjustments are made to Sales #2 and #4.
Building Condition – The subject property is considered to be in average condition. All of the
sales are considered to be in average condition and no adjustments are made.
Percent Office: - The subject property has almost 60% office space in the building. Sales #2, #3
and #4 all have less office space than the subject property and were adjusted upward.
Ceiling Height – The subject property has an 16 foot clear height. All of the sales have a similar
ceiling height and are adequate for office/flex/manufacturing properties; therefore, no adjustments
are considered necessary.
Land Area/FAR – Floor area ratio is the ratio of building area to land area. A lower FAR reflects
a greater area of land in proportion to the overall building area, which is an advantage as it allows
for better parking, easier access to the building and possible expansion. Conversely, a higher
FAR indicates less available land area for parking, drive areas, and possible expansion. Although
the subject property has a larger land area than all of the comparable sales a section of the
property has some wetlands. The exact area of the site that could possibly be unusable do to the
wetland was not available. Therefore for this analysis no adjustment is made for land area FAR.
Number of Loading Docks: - The subject property has three loading docks. Sales #2 and #4 have
more loading docks than the subject property and were adjusted downward.
After adjustments, the comparable sales indicate a range of value of between $104 and $134 per
square foot producing an average adjusted price of $113 per square foot and a median adjusted
sale price of $108 per square foot.
14113-101

As a final step, the indicated values are weighed according to the sold properties’ degree of
comparability to the subject, thereby arriving at an indication of value by the Sales Comparison
Approach.
Sale #1 is an outlier at $134 per square foot. This property was leased at a considerably higher
rental rate ($11.94 per square foot effective rate over the life of the lease) than the subject
property and was eliminated from further consideration.
Sales #2, #3 and #4 have differences from the subject property, however they are the best
office/flex/manufacturing sales uncovered in the current market. In my opinion, the average
adjusted sale price of Sales #2, #3 and #4 at $106 per square foot is the most reasonable indicator
of value for the subject property.
$106 per square foot X 79,140 square feet = $8,416,559
Rounded to $8,400,000
Therefore, my opinion of the "As Is" market value for the subject property located at 50
Fordham Road, via the Sales Comparison Approach, as of the date of inspection of December
10, 2014, is estimated at $8,400,000.
INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH - 50 FORDHAM ROAD
This approach is based on the assumption that the prudent investor will assess the quantity,
quality and durability of the income stream from a particular property and will pay no more for
the forecasted income than could be obtained from an alternative investment having a similar risk
profile.
The subject is an 79,140 gross square foot office/flex/manufacturing property with 78,180 square
feet of net rentable building area.
The two techniques considered for income capitalization are Direct Capitalization and Discounted
Cash Flow Analysis. In this case, I applied the Direct Capitalization method.
Direct Capitalization
This valuation methodology is based on an estimate of a single year’s stabilized net operating
income. The steps in this approach are listed as follows:
14113-102
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
1.
Estimate potential gross income, recoverable operating expenses, vacancy rates, and
effective gross income.
2.
Estimate recoverable and non-recoverable operating expenses.
3.
Estimate stabilized net operating income.
4.
Select an appropriate capitalization method or technique and capitalize or discount the
estimated net operating income at a market-driven rate in order to arrive at an estimate of value.
In order to estimate the potential gross income, I reviewed the current lease for the subject
property, the quality of the tenants. I also reviewed comparable rents I uncovered in the market
and from several similar properties and interviewed commercial/industrial real estate brokers who
specialize in the subject’s market area. The following schedule includes rents of industrial
properties in the subject’s market area.

Analysis
Comparable rents found in surveys for office/flex/manufacturing buildings in the Route 128 north
submarket range from effective rents over the life of the lease from $6.35 up to $15.75 per square
foot. The bulk of the rents are in the $8.00 per square foot range with the owner offering tenant
build-outs between $5.00 and $10.00 per square foot.
Based on the location of the property, the size of building, the quality and condition of the
property, I have estimated a market rental rate of $8.00 per square foot for the subject property on
a NNN basis. The subject property is currently leased for $7.16 per square foot on a triple net
basis and appears to be below current market rental rates as the lease was negotiated in 2008. The
rent increases to 95% of fair market rent in 2019 which should increase the cash flow to the
owner. Nevertheless I have used the current contract rent in this analysis.
Potential Gross Rent
Potential gross rent consists of the income generated from leasing the subject property at the
current contract rent. Current potential gross rental income is estimated at $559,768.
Recoverable Operating Expenses
The subject property is leased on a NNN basis where the tenant is responsible for all of the
operating expenses of the building. The owner is on responsible for the expenses when the
property is vacant. A schedule of recoverable operating expenses is detailed below.

Vacancy and Credit Loss Estimates
The vacancy allowance accounts for fluctuations in the gross income attributed to unexpected
vacancies due to tenant rollover, while the collection (credit) loss allowance recognizes loss in
income due to debt loss.
The previous industrial market surveys by CBRE indicated the 128 North Submarket had a 14.1%
availability and an 11.8% vacancy. The Cushman & Wakefield survey indicates an overall
vacancy of 9.4% in the Route 128 North submarket and NAI Hunneman’s vacancy rate in the 128
North Submarket is reported at 3.9% and 6.4% in the 128 Northwest Submarket. Also mentioned
in the CBRE Survey was that there was a consistent and significant increase in tenant and
user/buyer acquisitions and consequently induced a stream of positive absorption and dwindling
availability. Transaction activity has pushed total industrial vacancy down year-over-year. As
the subject property is leased by a BBB credit tenant with four years remaining on their original
lease and two five year options, I have estimated a vacancy rate of 2.00% for the subject property.
Effective Gross Income
Effective gross income generally consists of potential gross income less an allowance for vacancy
and bad debt for a single stabilized operating year.

Operating Expense Analysis
For this analysis, the Post Master in charge of operating the subject property provided verbal
amounts for their expenses. Detailed below is my estimate of the stabilized expenses for the
subject property. The subject property is assumed to be leased on a NNN basis and the owner
would only be responsible for the expenses when the property was vacant.
Real Estate Taxes: Real estate taxes for the subject property are set at $169,076.
Building Insurance – The insurance expense was provided for both building under a
package blanket policy at $88,457 or $0.28 per square foot. Based on 50 Fordham Road’s
gross building area of 79,140 square feet, the building’s insurance expense is projected at
$22,415.
Repairs and Maintenance –For this analysis I have used an amount of $6,000.
Utilities – All the utilities are assumed to be paid for by a tenant leasing the property and
no utility expenses was deducted.
Snow Removal & Landscaping – Snow removal and landscaping is estimated at
$10,000.
Management: I have included a management fee in my analysis at 4.00% of effective
gross income. The management fee is not included in the recoverable operating expenses.
Reserves for Replacement: A reserves for replacement fund is an amount allocated for
periodic replacement of building components during a property’s economic life. For this
analysis, I have used the mid-range of reserves for replacement expense of $0.15 per
square foot of gross building area. The reserves for replacement fee is not included in the
recoverable operating expenses.
Total Expenses
Total operating expenses for the subject property are detailed below. Expenses total $241,609 or
per square foot of net rentable building area and $3.09 of the effective gross income, which is in
line with other office/flex/manufacturing properties appraised by our firm.

CAPITALIZATION RATE DEVELOPMENT - 50 FORDHAM ROAD
To value the ownership of an income producing property, valuation models have been developed
to quantify the projected benefits from ownership. The capitalization rate is commonly referred
to as an expression of the ratio between one year's net operating income and value.
The overall rate utilized is generally obtained by three methods: a) market extraction, b) industry
surveys, and c) band of investment. The methods of deriving the appropriate capitalization rates
are as follows.
Extraction of Overall Rate
Extraction of overall rates from comparable sales is generally given primary consideration when
the income and expenses of a property that sold are verifiable. I uncovered several sales of
office/flex/manufacturing properties where a capitalization rate could be extracted.
Below is a table of capitalization rates extracted from the market. It should be understood that the
calculations, methodology and/or figures used to arrive at these capitalization rates were not
available for review for accuracy. Nonetheless, this survey indicates capitalization rates ranging
from 7.00% to 8.50% with an average of 7.78%.

Industry Surveys
I reviewed two separate surveys (PwC and RealtyRates.com) for capitalization rates. Both
surveys PwC and RealtyRates.com are nationally-oriented surveys and tend to indicate a wider
range of rates because they cover the entire country or a region rather than individual sub-markets
or specific property types.
The PwC Investor Survey is displayed below. The PwC Survey indicated capitalization rates
from 6.00% to 10.00% with an average of 7.53%.
Source: 4th Quarter 2014 - PwC Real Estate Investor Survey
In addition the PwC Survey also posts an Institutional-Grade vs. Non-institutional-grade property
basis-point spread. Non-intuitional grade properties have a basis-point spread of 2.50% to 4.00%
basis points above the Institutional-grade properties and averages 1.46% basis points above the
average capitalization rate indicating capitalization rates from 8.50% to 14.00% and an average of
8.99% for Non-intuitional properties however the subject property would be considered a
Intuitional Grade asset.
According to the PwC Survey Flex/R&D properties have a rating of 3.10 on a scale of 1(abysmal)
to 5 (excellent) in terms of investment prospects in the year ahead, the U.S. R&D industrial sector
14113-110

ranked as the 9th preferred property type out of 14 in Emerging Trends in Real Estate® 2015,
published by PwC and ULI, ahead of suburban office and the three retail property types. Although
many investors still see this market as “neutral”, tenant demand has started to pick up in certain
metros, but has yet to fully impact rental rate growth. This quarter, the average initial-year market
rent change rate holds steady for the second straight quarter at 2.40%. At the same time, however,
the average amount of free rent offered slips slightly. “Face rents aren’t moving much, but
effective rents are up a bit for us,” shares a participant. Looking ahead, future rent growth is
expected as several surveyed investors are using rent spikes in their cash flow analyses. Rent
spikes average 5.3% and occur two to three times between years one and four. Certain investors
suspect that 2015 could be a good year for the U.S. flex/R&D market as rising occupancy levels
in suburban office locations spillover into flex/R&D properties, resulting in higher tenant
demand, rental rates, and property values.
In addition, RealtyRates.com for Industrial Flex/R&D Properties was also reviewed and the
survey is detailed as follows.

Mortgage Equity Technique
I have developed a capitalization rate via the Mortgage Equity Technique, which recognizes the
influence of mortgage financing on the rates of return in real estate investments. Current indexes
indicate a Long-Term Fixed Rate Loan program for stabilized properties with good occupancy
history, moderate leverage, satisfactory sponsors, and limited near-term rollover having interest
rates between 4.25% and 5.25% with a 25-year amortization. I have estimated an interest rate of
4.75% for the subject property with a 75.00% loan to value and an amortization of 20 years. I
have estimated that an equity yield rate of 12.00% would be necessary as of the effective date of the
appraisal in order to attract equity capital to a property of this type, considering the risk of tenant

original lease with two five year options at what appears to be a below current market rate rent.
Based on the quality of the building the strength of the tenants and the length of the lease I have
applied a capitalization rate of 6.75% to the subject property’s net operating income.

Applying the 6.75% capitalization rate to the stabilized net operating income of $510,305
indicates an “As Is” market value by the Income Capitalization Approach of $7,560,072 which is
rounded to $7,560,000 or $97 per square foot.
Therefore, it is my opinion that the “As Is” market value for the subject property, via the Direct
Capitalization Technique of the Income Capitalization Approach, as of December 10, 2014, is
estimated at $7,560,000 . This value approximates what an investor would pay to purchase the
property and collect the cash flow based on market rents for the subject property for a return on
investment.
RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE ESTIMATE - 50 FORDHAM ROAD
The subject property is an 79,140 gross square foot office/flex/manufacturing property located at
50 Fordham Road in Wilmington, MA.
In estimating the “As Is” Market Value, the Sales Comparison and Income Capitalization
Approaches were used and the results are detailed below.

properties in the Town of Wilmington. The valuation of the property via this method applied
current contract rent at the subject property and although the estimated market rent for the subject
property is higher than the current contract rent market the lease encumbers the subject property
for another 4 years on the original lease with two five-year options. The property is leased on a
triple net basis where the tenant is responsible for all of the buildings operating expenses
including HVAC maintenance and the maintenance of the other mechanical systems. Marketsupported assumptions regarding expectations for property yields were also estimated. This
approach reflects the actions of buyers in the marketplace. The value indicated by the Income
Capitalization Approach is typically what an investor would pay for the property based on current
contract rent over the life of the lease and through options. Furthermore, a buyer for the subject
property would also consider the strength of the current tenant’s bond rating.
The Sales Comparison Approach reflects an estimate of value as indicated by the sales market and
concentrated on utilizing the most recent sales of similar office/flex/manufacturing properties in
the area. Out of the sales investigated, four were chosen as the most reasonable comparable
properties to the subject property. Since no sales are exactly alike, adjustments were made to
each sale for the most obvious differences and the adjusted sales prices per square foot of gross
building area was used to indicate value for the subject property.
The sales comparison produces a higher value than the income approach most likely due to the
fact that market rents are higher now than they were when the subject properties lease was
negotiated back in 2007-2008.
In the final analysis, I have relied primarily on the Income Capitalization Approach as the subject
property is encumbered by a lease that is in-place until 2019 with two five-year options. The
Sales Comparison Approach was used as a check of reasonableness.
It is, therefore, my opinion that the market value of the Leased Fee interest of the subject
property under review, in accordance with the assumptions and limiting conditions prescribed in
the report, and considered for its most productive use "As Is" as of December 10, 2014 is fairly
represented by the amount of:

ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITING CONDITIONS
In order to highlight the frame of reference in which this appraisal was made, the more
significant assumptions and limiting conditions are listed below. Additional discussion or
amplification may be included in the preceding sections of the report.
1.
This appraisal is based upon the condition of the national and regional economies, the
purchasing power of the dollar, and financing rates prevailing as of the effective date of
appraisal.
2.
This report expresses the opinion of the signer as to the market value of the subject
property as of the "As Is" date of December 10, 2014 and have in no way been contingent
upon the reporting of specified values nor of any findings to be reported.
3.
No responsibility is assumed for matters legal in nature nor is this report to be construed as
rendering an opinion of title, which is assumed to be good.
4.
The subject property has been appraised as though fully merchantable and under
responsible ownership without regard to existing encumbrances, if any, such as tax liens,
mechanic's liens, mortgages, etc., except as noted herein.
5.
Areas and dimensions stated in this report are based upon the appraiser’s measurements as
well as upon plot plans, legal descriptions, and building plans provided by the Assessor’s
Office, the client, the property owner, and/or the Registry of Deeds and are considered
authoritative for the purpose of this report.
6.
The exhibits included with this report are intended to provide visual assistance to the reader
and were prepared by the appraiser for illustrative purposes only.
7.
The appraiser made no survey of the property and assumes that there are no hidden or
unapparent conditions of the properties, subsoil or structures, which would make them
more or less valuable. The appraiser assumes no responsibility for such conditions or for
engineering, which might be required to discover such factors.
8.
The execution of this appraisal does not obligate the appraiser to give court testimony. If
this is necessary, a separate agreement covering additional time and material expense
incurred by the appraiser in preparing for and delivery of that service will be required.

9.
Possession of a copy of this report does not carry with it the right of publication nor may it
be used for any purpose by anyone but the client without the previous written consent of
the appraiser. If consent is granted, the report must be used in its entirety.
10.
No environmental impact studies were either requested or made in conjunction with this
appraisal, and the appraiser hereby reserves the right to alter, amend, revise, or rescind any
of the value opinions based upon any subsequent environmental impact studies, research or
investigation.
11.
Disclosure by the appraiser of the contents of this appraisal report is subject to review in
accordance with the bylaws and regulations of the professional appraisal organizations with
which the appraiser is affiliated.
12.
All facts set forth in this report are true and accurate to the best of the appraiser’s
knowledge. Information furnished by others is believed to be reliable but is not
guaranteed.
13.
In this appraisal assignment, the existence of potentially hazardous material used in the
construction or maintenance of the building, such as the presence of urea-formaldehyde
foam insulation, and/or the existence of toxic waste, which may or may not be present on
the property, was not observed by the appraiser; I have no knowledge of the existence of
such materials on or in the property. I have not been provided with a site assessment report
and have also not performed comprehensive independent investigations regarding the
presence of toxic waste, asbestos, etc. The appraiser, however, is not qualified to detect
such substances. The existence of urea-formaldehyde insulation or other potentially
hazardous waste material may have an effect on the value of the property. The appraiser
urges the client to retain an expert in this field if desired.
14.
Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report (especially any conclusions as to value,
the identity of the appraiser, or the firm with which the appraiser is connected) shall be
disseminated to the public through advertising, public relations, news, sales, or other media
without the prior written consent and approval of the appraiser.
15.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. The
appraiser has not made a specific compliance survey and analysis of this property to determine
whether or not it is in conformity with the various detailed requirements of the ADA. It is
possible that a compliance survey of the property together with a detailed analysis of the
requirements of the ADA could reveal that the property is not in compliance with one or more
of the requirements of this act. If so, this fact could have a negative effect upon the value of
14113-121
HUNNEMAN
APPRAISAL & CONSULTING CO.
the property. Since the appraiser has no direct evidence relating to this issue, the appraiser did
not consider possible noncompliance with the requirements of ADA in estimating the value of
the subject property.
