hat if you could borrow 100% of the
cost of developing or substantially
renovating your new shopping
center project, only pay debt service on 70%
and have the government pay a return on the
remaining 30%? While it may take some time
and effort, New Market Tax Credits can help
you do just that.
New Market Tax Credits (NMTC) came into
being in December of 2000 as part of the
Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000.
These tax credits are intended to stimulate
investment in “low income communities” as
defined by census data. While NMTC’s are
directed at businesses, many commercial

TAX CREDITS
continued
properties qualify. In fact, 52% of the
services proposed by allocatees in the first
NMTC offering were for development or
rehabilitation of real estate. The latest 2005
awards included $1,340,000 (67%) to
Community Development Entities (CDE)
whose predominant financing activities are
real estate. The largest allocations by
property type are mixed-use at $587
million and retail at $556 million. Multifamily rental properties are specifically
excluded from NMTC benefits.
A low-income community is defined as at
least 20% of households are below poverty
level or median family income below 80%
of the statewide or metropolitan median
family income level. About 39% of census
tracts nationally qualify as low-income
areas. The same 39% applies to Minnesota
where 510 of 1303 census tracts fall in this
category. An investor in a “Qualified
Equity Investment” receives tax credits
totaling 39% of its investment over a
seven-year period.
The program is administered by the
Community Development Financial
Institutions (CDFI) Fund in coordination
with the IRS and US Treasury. The total of
NMTC established by the 2000 legislation
is $15 billion over seven-years, beginning
in 2001. The NMTC’s are distributed via
CDE’s that are certified by the CDFI.
CDE’s are entities whose primary mission
is providing capital to low-income
communities or persons. Some of these
entities are community development arms
of financial institutions. There are 12 Twin
Cities’ based CDE’s on the CDFI Fund’s
website. However, it is not necessary to
deal with a local CDE. A full 33% of
NMTC’s awarded in the first round were
for entities that proposed uses in multiplestate or national locations.
Each year these CDE’s submit competitive
applications for that year’s allocation of
NMTC’s. The total authorization of $15
billion was divided as follows. 2001: $1
billion, 2002 and 2003: $1.5 billion each,
2004 and 2005: $2 billion each and 2006
and 2007: $3.5 billion each. A CDE cannot
apply for additional credits until it has used
50% of the previous years’ allocations.
Currently, applications are in for the sixth
year (2006) allocations of $3.5 billion that
will be awarded in April/May of 2006.
msca news 2006
While $15 billion in NMTC’s may seem a
lot of money, it is really a very scarce
resource. The first two allocations of $1
billion and $1.5 billion were combined in
the initial offering. Applications were
submitted by 1,033 CDE’s totaling nearly
$26 billion. Only 66 allocatees received
NMTC’s totaling the $2.5 billion offered.
Once a CDE receives an allocation it has
the ability to direct the New Market Tax
Credits to projects that are consistent with
its mission. And as you might imagine, a
successful allocatee is suddenly inundated
with many investment opportunities.
Albert Einstein once said man’s greatest
invention was compound interest. The real
magic in NMTC is achieved through
another one of man’s great inventions —
leverage. For example if you have a $1
million project and are fortunate enough to
connect with a NMTC allocatee that has
available allocations it can use for your
project, you can raise $300,000 in equity
from a third-party investor and obtain a
$700,000 loan from your financial
institution. This results in the investor’s
qualifying investment of $1 million. The
financial institution has what should be a
sound loan at 70% of project cost that
should also translate into good loan-tovalue and debt service coverage that will
produce a cash return to the developer. The
third-party investor is credited with a $1
million qualifying investment that generates
$390,000 of NMTC’s that are taken as
credits against payment of the investor’s
federal income taxes over the next seven
years. At the end of seven years, the thirdparty investor accepts perhaps some small
residual interest, but it has essentially
received its return through NMTC.
There is a catch in these leveraged deals
called recapture. If the lender were to
foreclose on the real estate during the first
seven years, a recapture event would be
triggered. In that event all previous tax
credits resulting from this transaction
would be recaptured. Not surprisingly the
NMTC industry has developed a response
to that potential threat – forbearance. The
financial institution loan needs to be
structured in a fashion where the lender
will not foreclose and repay its loan in the
first seven years. Depending on the
negotiation between investor and lender,
the lender may be allowed to take certain
enforcement actions short of foreclosing
and retiring its loan. That’s a tough sell
2
with a lender. But, if the investor and
lender are related entities, that may give
the investor enough comfort to
compromise on the no-foreclosure
requirement.
So what should you do as a real estate
professional interested in NMTC’s?
Norman L. Jones of the Minneapolis law
firm of Winthrop & Weinstine, P.A., who
has completed several of these NMTC real
estate transactions, makes the following
suggestions:
Determine whether your project(s) is in a
low-income area. You can find this
information on the CDFI Fund website
after first finding the correct census tract
for your project.
Call a NMTC-knowledgeable banker,
lawyer or accountant to see how NMTC’s
could financially benefit your project.
See how you can connect with a current
NMTC allocatee (again listed on the CDFI
Fund website), whether by having your
banker, lawyer or accountant introduce you
and your project, by contacting the
allocatee yourself, or by attending one of
several New Markets Tax Credit conferences.

www.newmarketstaxcreditcoalition.org.
Those who want to master all the details
themselves should get the 2005 New
Markets Tax Credit Handbook
www.novoco.com.
In preparing this article, I have been
surprised at how little application this
powerful tool has found in the Twin Cities’
marketplace. Those who have worked with
it are convinced of its effectiveness in
stimulating investment in low-income
areas through its strong benefits to
investors/developers. The program’s
scarcity is probably due to the lack of
available allocations, which may not end
any time soon. But the good news is there
is still time to learn about NMTC and
position yourself and your project to use
the existing allocations or the fresh 2006
allocations that come out in April/May. MSCA And The

Consolidation Trepidation
Gift Card Headaches
According to the accounting firm Deloitte and
Touche, a recent survey of nearly 18,000
consumers revealed that almost two-thirds of
American shoppers bought an average of more
than four gift cards each, for the holidays this
holiday season. According to the survey, only
48% of the respondents had actually redeemed
their cards from the previous year.
Since most retailers do not record sales until the
time of redemption, a large influx of cash tends to
appear on the books of retailers who do a large
volume of “pre-sales” using these cards.
Essentially, this causes large amounts of liquid
liability on balance sheets of retailers who “owe”
consumers goods and services not yet redeemed
by gift card recipients. In fact, the Security and
Exchange Commission is currently examining the
practice of questionable retailer accounting
practices due to misrepresentation of gift card
sales. Retailers have reacted by adding expiration
dates or devaluations of unused cards, but some
states are beginning to outlaw such practices with
some states even requiring unused balances of
cards to be turned over to the states.

The year 2005 was filled with a
frenzy of consolidation activity in the
retail sector.
Saks Inc. sold its northern department
store group for $1.1 billion in cash to
Bon-Ton Stores Inc. Shortly there
after, Saks announced it was selling
its Proffitt’s and McRae’s brand
stores to Belk Inc. for $622 million.
Not to be outdone, The Neiman
Marcus Group was purchased by a
private equity partnership for $5.1
billion. However, the biggest deal of
the year is the $30 billion merger of
Federated Department Stores and the
May Department Store Company.
This merger will bring together some
of the most well known retailing
icons in the nation together into one
family of department stores.
What does this all mean as we enter
the year 2006? Firstly, we should get
used to seeing a significant amount of
2006 Event Schedule
re-branding and repositioning of
store concepts. Federated has already
started the to redefine their retailing
structure by re-branding such
longstanding concepts as Marshall
Field’s, Hecht’s, Filene’s, and
Kaiffmann’s. In their place, the
Federated Macy’s concept will be
expanding to over 850 locations
nationwide.
We also should also expect Federated
to restructure their retailing
operations in order to be more
efficient and better able to adjust to
market trends in merchandise and
fashion apparel. Utilizing similar
models and methods of national big
box retailers, we will be seeing
Federated stores applying new
tracking and shipping methods for
merchandise. By linking technologies

(Source: Christian Science Monitor)
According to Economists, the housing
market will be a key indicator to the
performance of the United States
economy in 2006. Since late 2001,
the national housing market has been
on fire, with record-breaking housing
starts and sales. Fueled by record low
interest rates, activity has increased
real estate values nationwide. Many
new consumers entered the housing
market or refinanced their existing
mortgages. The added income from
home this home equity and
refinancing added to consumers
discretionary spending and in-turn
consumer spending across the board
has been high.
Unfortunately, this economic nirvana
will not last. Some forecasts predict
4
that if interest rates increase ate their
current levels and the real estate
market slows, the nation’s economic
growth rate could be halved as early
as 2007. Real estate sales and home
construction will certainly slow down
and consumers will have less and less
income available for spending.
Inevitably this will impact the
retailing industry.
Although most economists agree a
slowdown in growth will happen this
year, there is some debate over how
severe it will be. One thing is certain,
2006 will offer some sort of cooling
from the pace we have become
accustomed to. The year of the
plateau has arrived.

Looking to revamp your financial
portfolio for 2006?
How to Get in and Out of the Market
with Huge Gains in any Climate by J.
Christopher Amberger. The trading
systems explained in this book have
perhaps the best track record in the
industry, and found nowhere else. They
use a combination of analytical
components, focusing on trading, as
opposed to investing and are all about
hard-core technical analysis.
continued
to stores will allow consumers access to
merchandise and fashion apparel in very
efficient cycles. This will allow stores to
follow fashion and seasonal trends in a
very effective manner. No longer will
some department store concepts be
wrestling with winter overstock in August.
No longer will we see the stale fashion
sense stigma of older, larger department
stores. Federated believes that with this
merger, it will become a leaner and meaner
retailing force with significant impact on
the entire industry.
The consolidation that has occurred with
retailers in the past year will not just cause
adjustments to brands and operations. As
these deals become solidified, store
concepts may be closed, or completely
absorbed by competitors. Companies will
be consolidating spaces, relocating staff,
and tweaking their operations. We may see
locations go dark or concepts simply
vanish. We may even see new concept
hybrids emerge with new stores or
renovations. We might even be witnessing
the re-birth of the great department store
becoming, once again, centric to the
retailing industry as a whole. Regardless,
department stores are currently reeling a
bit from the tumultuous atmosphere of
consolidation that was experienced in 2005
and we will continue feeling the
impact not only this year, but for many
years to come.

M aRoseville
r k e t Rejuvenation
Update
by Sara Martin, Welsh Companies, LLC
I
n a metro area ripe with many
significant redevelopment projects, the
Rosedale Mall trade area has remained
one of the strongest in the region. Low
vacancy and high traffic has kept this trade
area among the most active, sought after in
the Twin Cities with more than 12 million
shoppers visiting the mall each year. For
years, Roseville has been a competitive
trade area with little to no new
development and very few opportunities
for new retailers to find space, but all that
is about to change with the addition of two
large projects that will significantly alter
this trade area as we know it today.
The first major project in the works is the
complete redevelopment of the 185,000 sf
former Mervyn’s wing of the Rosedale
Mall. A lifestyle center addition known as
“The Plaza at Rosedale Center” is
currently under construction and expected
to open in the fall of 2006. The project,
under development by Prime Property
Fund, is projected to cost more than $50
million and will include two stories of
outward facing storefronts that will be a
combination of entertainment and upscale
retailers. The Plaza at Rosedale Center will
be the first super regional shopping center
in the Twin Cities trade area to combine
entertainment, lifestyle and fashion
retailers in an open-air, mixed-use style
design. Convenience and easy pedestrian
access between the Center and Plaza are at
the heart of the project’s design. AMC
Theaters signed on as Prime Property
Fund’s first tenant for occupancy in August
of 2006 and is expected to bring a 14screen state of the art theater. The only
other tenant that has been announced at
this time is Granite City Food & Brewery,
a premier casual dining restaurant, which
will also be a great addition to The Plaza.
(residential) and a Roseville Properties
Affiliate, which is jointly owned by Daniel
Commers, John Johannson and Chris
Simmons. The project will consist of 940
housing units, 350,000 sf of retail space
and 280,000 sf of office space. The
housing component of the development
offers major relief to Roseville. While the
city is among the most dense and highly
profitable retail centers in the region,
Roseville currently has very limited
housing options and is in desperate need of
more space for small businesses. The retail
portion of the project will be anchored by
Costco and will include a good mix of
junior anchors and restaurants as well as
60,000 sf of small shop space.
The second new addition to the Roseville
landscape is the new 70-acre Twin Lakes
development, expected to break ground in
the spring of 2006. This mixed-use
development is bordered by County Road
C2 at the North, County Road C at the
South, Cleveland Avenue at the West and
Fairview Avenue at the East. Twin Lakes is
a joint development by Rottlund Homes
Given the historical high demand and high
volume of the Roseville trade area, these
new developments seem long overdue and
a welcome addition to the region.
Moreover, with several large tenants
signed on to the projects and a long list of
retailers who have been unable to find
space to break into the area in recent years,
both projects seem poised for success. R i The

t’s a new year and a great time for new
resolutions. One of mine is to shape up
and shed those holiday pounds. I don’t
need to go very far to find help. In my
neighborhood alone, at least two new clubs
have opened up within blocks of my home.
No frills exercise clubs conveniently
located in our neighborhoods are the
steady gainers this year.
Anytime Fitness is one of the newest
players in this field. Based in West St.
Paul, Anytime Fitness began in 2002 and
is now ranked 10th in the top 25 chains,
according to the International Health,
Racquet, & Sportsclub Association.
Founders Jeff Klinger and Chuck Runyon
msca news 2006
see nothing but growth ahead for this
franchise. They currently have over 60
centers either open or coming soon in
Minnesota alone and have close to quadruple that number of locations nationally.
Snap Fitness is another Minnesota-based
franchise with approximately 50 club
locations in the Twin Cities as well as
outstate Minnesota. They also feature 24/7
access by security card to ensure that busy
members can work out at all hours.
Founder Peter Taunton expects to continue
to open 5 to 7 new sites monthly through
Minnesota and nationally, looking
primarily for neighborhood center class
“B” locations.

Liberty Fitness, a nationally franchised
women’s exercise concept, is just about to
open its first Minnesota club in
Chanhassen, and more stores are planned
in Minnesota in the near future. Liberty
Fitness received a ranking in the top 50
new franchises in 2005 by Entrepreneur
Magazine. Founded by Liberty Harper, a
25-year-old entrepreneur, the club focuses
on a total body approach consisting of
fitness, nutrition, and wellness for women.

Retail Tidbits

● Private equity firms are advising
McDonald’s that it has huge undervalued
asset values hidden in real estate holdings.
These large investors want it to free up
some of these assets, estimated at $24
billion, by selling them through the
sale/leaseback process. Counting this
argument are others who believe that the
added rental expense will be at a higher
rate than McDonald’s ability to borrow at
lower rates.
