ADDITIONAL INFO Construction Start: Feb 2014 Top Off: December 2014 Total Number of Units: 90 Construction Completion: Fall 2015 www.crimsonmiami.com 05 N OSMIRC EH T | SERENE STCEJORP PROJECTS | LE LE SERENE Le Serene will comprise 282 units for rent, spread over three buildings each four stories high, in a lot of 8.9 acres (3.6 hectares), located a couple of feet from Fruitville Road, which is the main pathway of access to Downtown Sarasota and the beaches of Sarasota from Highway I - 75. Luxury amenities in this community will be a given. The vicinity to major shopping destinations, some of them even in walking distance as well as to main traffic arteries distinct this unique location from many others. Combined with the scarcity of available new product (no new developments have been seen the last 8 years), the high above state and national occupancy rate of 98% and yearly rent increases of 3% and more, make us believe that demand is significantly outpacing supply at least for the next 3-5 year.

It's mixture of 2 and 3 bedrooms with upscale and luxury amenities drew attention of investors from South America, Canada and Central and Eastern Europe. All units were rented from the first day of our acquisition and are providing a steady cash flow to its investors. With the anticipated value increase from a bottom level over the next years this investment bodes well for strong yields at exit.

PROJECTS 10 STAKEHOLDERS At McKafka, we work across our business to be a responsible partner to those who place their trust in us. Knowing that our behavior affects all of our stakeholders (Investors, Architects, Financing, Constructors, Sales, Marketing, and other partners), we seek to ensure their voices are considered in decisions we make. As a contractor in South Florida I have always believed that the success on any project, is directly dependent on the working relationship between the Owners, Designers and Contractors (Including Trade Contractors). The team atmosphere is extremely important, and understanding that no one entity is going to make the project successful by itself. This philosophy off course starts with the owner and setting the example for the rest of the team. This is only done by letting the actions of anyone entity speak for themselves. I would like to thank and congratulate McKafka for leading by example and maintaining the team approach in order to make the Crimson project a success. We look forward to working together with McKafka on many more future projects. FACCHINA CONSTRUCTION JESUS R.
