Dear Friends:
 
Here is the property assessment value for all the property on the site of Our Lady of Loreto.
This includes the vacant lot on Atlantic Ave.
 
The church owns One Half of a City block plus the property where the Don Bosco center is located.
 
It seem to me that there is more then enough property to build the 88 Unit apartment complex without demolishing the Church.

Dear Ms. Albrecht:
Pursuant to your request, Grubb & Ellis Valuation and Advisory Group (Grubb & Ellis) has
prepared a complete self-contained appraisal of the above referenced property.
The purpose of this assignment is to provide opinions of value of the subject property, under
several valuation scenarios. In accordance with your request, we have provided the following:

1) an opinion of the current market value of the fee simple interest of the subject property “as if vacant” and available for its development to its highest and best use. This valuation applies to all properties that are the subject of this assignment. This site includes the totality of the R6 zoned portion of the subject property, as well as the single site zoned M1-2.

2) an opinion of the current market value of portion of the subject property, as if vacant with the existing church left intact, and available to its highest and best use and considering any air rights that may be transferred from the existing church. The existing church is located on Block 1436, Lot 32. This scenario does NOT include the portion of the subject property that is zoned M1-2, or Block 1337, Lot 64.

3) an opinion of the value of the subject property with the existing church in place, via the land residual approach assuming redevelopment of a cooperative apartment building participating in the HDC-sponsored Affordable Cooperative Housing Program. The existing church is located on Block 1436, Lot 32. This scenario does NOT include Block 1337, Lot 64.Grubb & Ellis New York, Inc. 1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036, Tel., 212-759-9700, Fax.: 212-326-4848

4) an opinion of the value of the subject property, as if vacant, assuming it is improved with a
cooperative apartment building participating in the HDC-sponsored Affordable Cooperative
Housing Program. This scenario does NOT include Block 1337, Lot 64.
It should be noted that for those scenarios that assume the existing church will be left in tact, we have not valued the church itself. Our value conclusions represent the value of the development area excluding the existing church.

The following table summarizes the various parcels that are the subject of this assignment:
