Business Plan
Bluerock Value Exchange, LLC (āBVEXā) will seek toĀ add value to the Property through the implementationĀ of the following items (further detailed inĀ theāBusiness Planā section of the Memorandum)
Regional Overview
Orlando Metroās trailing 12 month 4.6% employment growth rate was triple the nationalĀ average through February 2018 and its 3.4% unemployment rate is well below theĀ national 4.4% rate. These indicators speak to the regionās ability to attract newĀ talent from elsewhere in the United States and abroad. The Metroās fastest growingĀ industries during the last year have been education and health services, construction,Ā and trade. The leisure and hospitality sector, Orlando Metroās largest, grew 8.6% andĀ added the most jobs of any single category (22,000).
According to the Appraisal, āOrlando is one of the fastest growing metros in the nationĀ and has seen job growth over twice the national average since 2014. The healthy laborĀ market has contributed to both strong recent demand and an increase in youngerĀ renters. Furthermore, the University of Central Florida provides a steady stream ofĀ renters to much of the metro, particularly the Southeast Submarket. As the second largestĀ university in the country by enrollment (more than 65,000), it houses onlyĀ about 20% of its students, leaving plenty of renters looking for additional housing.āĀ
Tourism also plays a vital role in Orlandoās economy. Orlando Metro is one of the
worldās premier travel destinations with more than 68 million annual visitors, an all timeĀ record for the U.S. travel industry, solidifying Orlando Metroās position as the mostĀ visited destination in the nation. Many new theme parks are delivering soon and in theĀ pipeline further bolstering Orlandoās future tourism prospects.
To accommodate the growth and visitor traffic, large infrastructure improvements are inĀ process including:
1. The I-4 Ultimate Improvement Project ā a 21-mile makeover spanning multipleĀ Countiesā widening existing roads, reconstruction of interchanges, and addingĀ Sunrail connections. The I-4 corridor, which runs northeast to Daytona andĀ southwest to Tampa, continues to draw large migration and major demand into theĀ area.
2. Orlando International Airportās $3 billion capital improvement project ā additionsĀ of an Automated People Mover, terminal enhancements, and gate additions.
Local Overview
The Property is located in south Orlando, along Interstate 4, nearĀ Seaworld. In addition to its proximity to tourist attractions includingĀ Seaworld, Disney, Discovery Cove, and Universal Resort Orlando, theĀ Property is also within close proximity to the South Orlando CommercialĀ Core featuring major employers such as Lockheed Martin, DardenĀ Corporate Headquarters, Tupperware Brands, and Whirlpool. The OrangeĀ County Convention Center is also located approximately two miles fromĀ the Property. The Propertyās central location also makes it accessible toĀ Orlandoās largest employment centers, within an approximate 20-minuteĀ drive to downtown Orlando, Lake Nona Medical City (a master-plannedĀ community of life science companies), and Neocity, a 500-acre technologyĀ campus.
The Property is also located approximately one mile from the Dr. PhillipsĀ community, an area named after Dr. Phillip Phillips, a Central Florida
citrus pioneer. Some of the thousands of acres of orange groves he onceĀ owned comprise the present day mixed-use enclave consisting of homes,Ā public schools, a Center for the Performing Arts, Restaurant Row (diningĀ district with more than 60 restaurants), and the Dr. P. Phillips Hospital withĀ more than 12,000 admissions and 80,000 emergency department visitsĀ annually. The community sits amid a chain of small lakes with ampleĀ recreation opportunities. Home prices tend to be higher in the communityĀ with a median list price of $182 per square foot vs. the Orlando averageĀ of $139 per square foot, reflecting its desirability. NeighborhoodĀ Scout reports that Doctor Phillips is among the 15% highest incomeĀ neighborhoods in America.Ā
WHY APARTMENTS?
The “Millennial Generationā, at more than 86 million and already exceeding that of the āBaby Boomersā at similar ages, is expected to
increase over the next 20 years as immigration (typically of young adults) continues to increase.Ā Ā
Although they are only now beginning to live on their own, āMillennialsā will likely form even more households than the āGen-Xersā and
the āBaby Boomersā. In fact, according to a recent study by the National Multifamily Housing Council (āNMHCā),Ā the United States is projected to add 4.6 million new renter households by 2030.Ā
