Reference: 684-unit mixed income multifamily project to be located in one or more yet-to-bedetermined sites in the City of Galveston, Galveston County, TX to be constructed
in multiple phases.
Greetings:
At your request, I have completed an Appraisal Consulting Assignment for the purpose of
providing a market analysis for the above-referenced property. The effective date of the study is
September 7, 2011. The date of the report is October 27, 2011. Robert O. Coe, II visited the
subject neighborhood on numerous occasions including August 25, 2011.
The analyses provided herein are subject to the assumptions and contingent and limiting
conditions contained within both the body of this report and the addenda section. Based on my
analysis of the subject property's primary market area, there is sufficient demand to successfully
construct and absorb the proposed 684-unit mixed income multifamily project to be located in
one or more yet-to-be-determined sites as of September 7, 2011. As of the date of this report, the
subject development is proposed to be developed in five phases ranging from 100 units to 160
units.
No other persons provided significant real property appraisal consulting assistance in the
preparation of the market analysis.
I am not qualified to detect or identify hazardous substances, which may, or may not, be present
on, in, or near this property. The presence of hazardous materials may negatively affect
feasibility. I have analyzed the subject property as though free of hazardous materials. I urge the
user of this report to obtain the services of specialists for the purpose of conducting an
environmental audit to ensure that the subject property is free of hazardous materials.

contained herein has been reached after a careful study, investigation, analysis, and interpretation
of the pertinent data, and that my fee is in no way contingent upon the conclusion. I am neither
part of the development team, owner of the subject property, nor affiliated with any member of
the development team engaged in the development of the property. This market analysis is
prepared subject to my current assumptions and limiting conditions. Your attention is directed to
the following report and accompanying data, which form, in part, the basis of my conclusions.
All occupancy levels cited throughout this report refer only to physical occupancy unless
otherwise specified in the text.

ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
This report is subject to the following assumptions and limiting conditions:
1)
Any legal description or plats reported herein are assumed to be accurate. Any sketches,
surveys, plats, photographs, drawings, or other exhibits are included only to assist the
intended users to better understand and visualize the subject property the environs, and
the competitive data. I have made no survey of the subject property and assume no
responsibility associated with such matters.
2)
The value assumes responsible ownership and competent management. The subject
property is assumed to be free and clear of all liens, except as may be otherwise herein
described. No responsibility is assumed by the appraiser(s) for matters legal in character,
nor is any opinion on the title rendered, which is assumed to be good and marketable.
3)
The information contained herein has been gathered from sources deemed to be reliable,
but I assume no responsibility for its accuracy. The value/opinions rendered herein are
based on preliminary analyses of the proposed subject property and the market area.
4)
Any leases, agreements or other written or verbal representations and/or communications
and information received by the appraiser(s) have been reasonably relied upon in good
faith but have not been analyzed for their legal implications. I urge and caution the user
of this report to obtain legal counsel of his/her own choice to review the legal and factual
matters, and to verify and analyze the underlying facts and merits of any investment
decision in a reasonably prudent manner.
5)
I assume no responsibility for any hidden agreements known as "side reports", which
may or may not exist relative to this property, which have not been made known to us,
unless specifically acknowledged within this report.
6)
This report is to be used in whole, and not in part. Any separate valuation for land and
improvements shall not be used in conjunction with any other valuation and is invalid if
so used. Possession of this report or any copy thereof does not carry with it the right of
publication nor may the same be used for any purpose by anyone but the client without
the previous written consent of the appraiser(s), and in any event, only in its entirety.
7)
I, by reason of this report, are not required to give testimony in court with reference to the
property unless notice and proper arrangements have been previously made therefore.
8)
Neither all nor any part of the contents of this report shall be conveyed to the public
through advertising, public relations, news, sales or other media without prior written
consent and approval of the author.

Assumptions and Limiting Conditions – Continued
9)
No subsoil data or analysis based on engineering core borings or other tests were
furnished to me. I have assumed that there are no subsoil defects present that would
impair development of the land to its maximum permitted use, or would render it more or
less valuable.
10)
No responsibility is assumed for hidden defects or for conformity to specific
governmental requirements, such as fire, building, safety, earthquake, or occupancy
codes, except where specific professional or governmental inspections have been
completed and reported in this report.
11)
The construction and physical condition of the improvements described herein are based
on a site visit. No liability is assumed by us for the soundness of structural members
since no engineering tests were conducted. No liability is assumed for the condition or
adequacy of mechanical equipment, plumbing or electrical components.
No
responsibility is assumed for engineering, which might be required to discover such
factors. I urge the user of this report to retain an expert in this field.
12)
Unless otherwise stated in this report, the existence of hazardous substances, including
without limitation asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyl, petroleum leakage, or agricultural
chemicals, which may or may not be present in or on the property, or other environmental
conditions were not called to the my attention nor did I become aware of such during my
site visit. I have no knowledge of the existence of such materials on or in the property
unless otherwise stated. I, however, am not qualified to test such substances or
conditions. No responsibility is assumed for any such conditions, nor for any expertise or
engineering knowledge required to detect or discover them. I urge the user of this report
to retain an expert in the field of environmental impacts on real estate if so desired.
13)
The projections of income, expenses, terminal values or future sales prices are not
predictions of the future; rather, they are the best estimate of current market thinking of
what future trends will be. I assume no responsibility for any changes in economic or
physical conditions which occur following the effective date of this report that would
influence or potentially affect the analyses, opinions, or conditions in the report. Any
subsequent changes are beyond the scope of this report. No warranty or representation is
made that these projections will materialize.
14)
The client or user of this report agrees to notify the appraiser(s) of any error, omission or
inaccurate data contained in the report within 15 days of receipt, and return the report and
all copies thereof to the appraiser(s) for correction prior to any use.

Assumptions and Limiting Conditions – Continued
15)
The acceptance of this report, and its subsequent use by the client or any other party in
any manner whatsoever for any purpose, is acknowledgment by the user that the report
has been read and understood, specifically agrees that the data and analyses, to their
knowledge, are correct and acceptable.
16)
This assignment was not based upon a requested minimum valuation, a specific
valuation, or the approval of a loan.
17)
This report has been prepared in a “non-disclosure” state. Real estate prices and other
data, such as rents, prices, and financing are not a matter of public record. Although
extensive effort has been expended to verify pertinent data with buyers, sellers, brokers,
lenders, lessors, lessees, and other sources considered reliable, it has not always been
possible to independently verify all significant facts. In these instances, I may have relied
on verification obtained and reported to us by persons outside my office. Also, as
necessary, assumptions and adjustments have been made based on comparisons and
analyses using data in the report and on interviews with market participants. It is
suggested that the client consider independent verification as a prerequisite to any
transaction involving sale, lease or other significant commitment of funds to the subject
property.
18)
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) became effective January 26, 1992. I have
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 requirements of the act. If so, this fact could have a negative impact upon the value
of the property. However, since I have no direct evidence relating to the issue of
compliance, I did not consider possible noncompliance with requirements of ADA in
forming an opinion of the value of the property.
19)
Acceptance or use of this report constitutes agreement by the client and any other users
that any liability for errors, omissions or judgment is limited to the amount of the fee
charged for this report. Use of this report constitutes acknowledgement and acceptance
of the general assumptions and limiting conditions, special assumptions (in any),
extraordinary assumptions (if any), and hypothetical conditions (in any) on which this
report is based.

1. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
C11-AHA-176
Affordable Housing Analysts

City of Galveston Market Study
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
(A)
Disclosure of Competency: Affordable Housing Analysts is a professional real estate
appraisal and consulting firm, providing service to a variety of corporate, institutional,
governmental, and private clientele. In the past 12 months, Affordable Housing Analysts
or its principal has completed numerous consulting assignments involving similar
properties. Robert O. Coe, II is a State Certified General Real Estate Appraiser with the
State of Texas, and has prepared/reviewed numerous market studies and appraisal
consulting assignments of properties similar to this assignment.
(B)
Identification of Property: A proposed 684-unit mixed-income multifamily
development to be constructed in multiple phases to be located in the City of Galveston,
Galveston County, TX. A subject site or sites have not been selected as of the effective
date of this report. At the time of this report, the project is anticipated to contain
approximately 24.4% Housing Tax Credit units, approximately 34.4% Public Housing
units, and 41.2% market rate units. The subject sites include sites owned by the
Galveston Housing Authority including the former Magnolia Homes, Cedar Terrace,
Oleander Terrace, and other site to be identified in the City of Galveston.
(C)
Primary Market: The subject’s primary market is generally defined as that area
contained within census tracts 48167724000, 48167724100, 48167724200,
48167724300, 48167724400, 48167724500, 48167724600, 48167724700, 48167724800,
48167724900, 48167725000, 48167725100, 48167725200, 48167725300, 48167725400,
48167725500, 48167725600, 48167725700, 48167725800, 48167725900, and
48167726000. This area is contained in all or part of Zip Codes 77550, 77551, 77552,
77553, 77554, and 77555. The area is generally Galveston Island, with boundaries of
Galveston Bay to the north, and the Gulf of Mexico to the east, west and south. The
average rental rate for apartments in the subject’s primary market area is reported at
$0.982 per square foot per month. Based on my analysis of the rental rate PSF by decade
built in Galveston versus those in the remainder of Galveston County and versus those in
Houston, the average rent in the Galveston submarket are unusually high given the age of
the complexes. The average rental rate PSF ranged from 14.79% to 41.57% higher than
in the remainder of Galveston County or Houston. The unusually high rent PSF is likely
a significant contributor to the currently relatively-high vacancy in the older properties in
Galveston. The average physical occupancy in the subject’s primary market area was
reported at 87.62% based on my personal survey (excluding down units, closed
complexes, and complexes which would not confirm occupancy). Occupancy rates have
varied since Hurricane Ike, and rental rates in this primary market area have increased
approximately 13% during the same time period.
Comparable Properties: The most comparable apartments (those used in the rent grid
analysis) in the primary market area of the subject generally exhibited strong occupancy
rates, with an average occupancy level of 94%, and an average rental rate of ±$1.03 per
square foot per month.
C11-AHA-176

City of Galveston Market Study
Demand: The primary market area for the subject property had an estimated 22,529
households in 2011 and is projected to have 22,750 households by 2016. Approximately
56.39% of these families were renter households in 2011. The population growth in the
primary market area between 1990 and 2000 was -2.11% and between 2000 and 2016 is
projected to be -9.76%. The large population drop between 2000 and 2016 was
significantly impacted by the drop resulting from Hurricane Ike.
Evaluation of Subject Property: The subject properties are proposed to have a
combined total of approximately 21.64% one-bedroom units (148 units) , 57.89% twobedroom units (396 units), and 20.47% three-bedroom units (140 units). Based on
discussions with leasing agents and my own analysis of the selected comparables in the
primary market, the unit mix is appropriate for a mixed-income Family project, and will
complement the local multifamily housing market.
The average household size in the primary market area is 2.24 persons. Based on the
demographics for the PMA, the proposed unit mix, which is a combination of 1BR, 2BR,
and 3BR units, is considered appropriate.
(D)
Need for Affordable Housing: Occupancies of the newer and more affordably-priced
housing projects are high, with some maintaining waiting lists. Therefore, the subject
property need only achieve moderate penetration to be feasible. This is a realistic
scenario considering the limited supply of quality mixed-income Family housing in the
subject’s primary market area.
The Hurricane Ike Impact Recovery Report, December 2008, reported “the pre-Ike
housing shortage coupled with the loss of existing housing supply, has placed barriers to
continuing the expansion projects, thus impacting the economic stability and stimulus of
the region.” The 2009-2011 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy report
from the Gulf Coast Economic Development District, reported middle income housing as
a major priority in Galveston.
Capture Rate: Based on my research, there is one affordable Family housing project approved
by the TDHCA (Champion Homes @ Marina Landing – 256 units, all HTC), one Family
TDHCA project currently under construction (Champion Homes @ Bay Walk – 192 units, all
HTC), and one approved CDBG-funded adaptive-reuse Family complex (2101 Church Street –
83 units) with 46 units at 80% of Adjusted Median Income (AMI) levels. and 37 market-rate
units. There are currently three proposed or non-stabilized PHA developments in Galveston:
The Oaks, a 40-unit development which is in lease-up; 50-unit scattered site new construction
(proposed), and 150-unit scatteredextra site acquisition/rehab (proposed). Costa Mariposa is a
252-unit Private Activity Bond (PAB) project located within the SMA in Texas City. Since
demand from the Secondary Market Area (SMA) is limited to 25% of total demand, 25% of the
units in Costa Mariposa (63 units) were included in the capture analysis. The subject is proposed
to contain 684 units, of which 167 (24.4%) will be HTC units, 235 (34.4%) will be Public
Housing units, and 282 (41.2%) will be market rate units. Therefore, a total of 1,518 units
(including the subject) require absorption, of which 678 units will be HTC units. There are
approximately 8,292 potential households (relevant to the HTC rent restricted units) based on
income eligibility and housing preference.

PHASE I – The first phase of this multi-phase project is proposed to have 160 units with 32
HTC units (20%) at the 60% AMI level, 64 PHA units (40%) and 64 market-rate units. The
capture rate for the HTC units is 0.39% for the subject 60% HTC units under the traditional
methodology. The capture rate under the traditional method was 6.55% for all 60% HTC
units and 5.30% under the HISTA methodology. The capture rate for the 101 total market
units (64 subject market units and 37 market units at 2102 Church) was 1.49%. The capture
rate of the 304 PHA units was 3.51%.
Absorption: Absorption in the subject’s primary market area over the past twelve months
ending June 2011 totals 220 units. Absorption has ranged from positive 254 units to a
negative 160 units in the past year. The greatest amount of absorption taking place is in the
Class B and A properties.
There have been no new multifamily rental complexes constructed in Galveston since 2005.
The Club of the Isle was the most recent complex constructed in Galveston (2005). It
reportedly attained stabilized occupancy within a few months of completion.
Ashton Place was completely closed for renovations after Hurricane Ike, and reportedly
leased to stabilized occupancy within 6 month of completion of the renovations, which
equates to an average absorption of approximately 26 units per month.
Certification of Interest: The individuals performing this study do not have any interest
or prospective interest in the development of the subject property.

IDENTIFICATION OF PROPERTY
The proposed subject property will be located on one or more yet to be determined sites within
the City of Galveston, Galveston County, TX.
Description of Subject Property
As of the date of this report, the proposed subject project is a 684-unit mixed income multifamily
project to be located in one or more yet-to-be-determined sites with approximately 24.4% of the
units being Housing Tax Credit units, approximately 34.4% Public Housing units, and
approximately 41.2% of the subject at market rate (unrestricted). As of the date of this report,
the proposed subject development is proposed to be developed in five phases ranging from 100
units to 160 units. It is anticipated that the property will be separately metered for electricity,
and the landlord will pay for water/sewer and trash pickup. The development is anticipated to be
of good quality construction. A unit mix has not been finalized for the proposed property. I
have prepared a unit mix for the total 684-unit development based on a preliminary mix provided
by the Master Developer Partner. The following tables exhibit the proposed unit mix for Phase I
and the total for the proposed project.

Purpose of Appraisal Consulting Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to analyze the subject property’s multifamily market and
determine whether sufficient potential demand exists to justify acquisition and construction of
the subject property. For the purposes of this report, potential demand is the pool of households
that are income qualified (household income does not exceed applicable program limits for the
rent-restricted units), and can afford the proposed development's rents (rents are no more than
35.0% of household income).
Definitions
The following applicable definition was abstracted from The Appraisal of Real Estate, Thirteenth
Edition, by The Appraisal Institute.
Appraisal Consulting
“The act or process of developing an analysis, recommendation, or opinion to solve a problem,
where an opinion of value is a component of the analysis leading to the assignment results.”
Market Rent
Market Rent is defined by The Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Fourth Edition, copyright
2002, page 176 as:
"The most probable rent that a property should bring in a competitive and open market reflecting
all conditions and restrictions of the specified lease agreement including term, rental adjustment
and revaluation, permitted uses, use restrictions, and expense obligations; the lessee and lessor
each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming consummation of a lease contract as of
a specified date and the passing of the leasehold from lessor to lessee under conditions whereby:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Lessee and lessor are typically motivated.
Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they
consider their best interests.
A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.
The rent payment is made in terms of cash in United States dollars, and is
expressed as an amount per time period consistent with the payment
schedule of the lease contract.
The rental amount represents the normal consideration for the property
leased unaffected by special fees or concessions granted by anyone
associated with the transaction.”
Market Analysis
“A macroeconomic analysis that examines the general market conditions of supply, demand, and
pricing of the demographics of demand for a specific area or property type.”

The descriptions, analyses, and conclusions of this report are applicable as of September 7, 2011.
Date of the Report
The preparation of this report was completed on October 27, 2011.
Data Sources
OConnorData.com and Apartment MarketData were consulted for apartment statistics. All
rental occupancy information for the comparable properties has been personally verified by the
market analyst. Census data was obtained from Claritas and Ribbon Demographics, recognized
sources of demographic data throughout the United States and the U.S. Census Bureau.
Housing Tax Credit, Multifamily Bond, and Section 8 – Summarized
The Housing Tax Credit (HTC), originally formulated as the “Low Income Housing Tax Credit,”
was created by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 to spur the development of affordable housing for
residents of moderate means. It is not federally subsidized housing. It is not housing for the
impoverished, unemployed, or homeless. The Tax Credit Program was instituted to provide
quality housing at reasonable costs.
The Multifamily Revenue Bond program (MRB) is similar to the HTC program in that it
provides quality housing at affordable costs for residents of moderate means. The TDHCA
issues tax-exempt and taxable Multifamily Revenue Bonds (MRBs) to fund loans to for-profit
and qualifying nonprofit organizations for the acquisition and/or development of affordable
rental units. Bond properties typically receive some tax credits as well as bonds. A
recommendation is made to the TDHCA governing board and, if approved, additional approval
is required by the Texas Bond Review Board. Properties financed through the programs are
subject to unit set aside restrictions for lower income tenants and persons with special needs,
tenant program initiatives, maximum rent limitations, and other requirements as determined by
TDHCA and its board.
Tenants at HTC and bond properties must be income qualified. The income qualifications will
adjust annually based on the median income for the Houston MSA.

In addition, HTC and bond projects will limit rents to an annually adjusted cap that is keyed to
the median income for the Houston MSA. The cap for a project can go up annually over time,
but can never be reduced below the cap that was in effect upon placing the project in service.
The subject structure is designed to operate below the cap, so that increases in operating
expenses may be met with corresponding increases in rental rates, without immediate limitation
imposed by the rent cap.
The following chart illustrates the maximum 2011 rents for HTC and bond projects for families
at 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, and 80% of median income. Handicapped units are no longer
separated by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA).

The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 authorized the Housing Assistance
Payments Program (Section 8). Section 8 provides rental assistance to low-income families,
elderly, disabled, and handicapped individuals. This Program provides financial assistance to
eligible families whose annual gross income does not exceed 80% of HUD's median income
guidelines (in most instances). Demographic projections indicate a continuing population and
household growth in segments that generally create the largest demand on affordable housing
supply.

SUBJECT MARKET AREA
Subject Primary Market Area
For the purposes of this report, the subject’s primary market area is generally defined as that area
contained within census tracts 48167724000, 48167724100, 48167724200, 48167724300,
48167724400, 48167724500, 48167724600, 48167724700, 48167724800, 48167724900,
48167725000, 48167725100, 48167725200, 48167725300, 48167725400, 48167725500,
48167725600, 48167725700, 48167725800, 48167725900, and 48167726000. The area is
Galveston Island, with boundaries of Galveston Bay to the north, and the Gulf of Mexico to the
east, west and south, and is within all or part of Zip Codes 77550, 77551, 77552, 77553, 77554,
and 77555.
Due to an adequate network of highways and primary thoroughfares, the subject property will be
readily accessible from the populated areas within the primary market area.
OConnorData.com’s Houston Market Report, September 2011, segments the Greater Houston
apartment market into 53 individual submarkets. The subject property is located in the
Galveston submarket, which consists of the subject’s primary market area. According to the
September 2011 O’ConnorData’s report, there were 5,032 operating apartment units in 29
complexes in this market area. The overall occupancy rate for all operating apartment projects in
this market area was 72.85%, with Class A complexes at 94.20%. The average rental rate for all
properties was $0.982 per square foot.
The above-mentioned occupancy does not take into account the down units. Based on my
personal survey of the existing complexes in Galveston, occupancy excluding down units, closed
complexes, and the two complexes which would not confirm their occupancy, occupancy was
87.62%. The table on the following page depicts my research.

GALVESTON ANALYSIS
The first American colonists arrived in what would become Galveston Island in 1827. In 1836,
the same year that Texas gained its independence from Mexico and became a republic, the city
of Galveston was born. Canadian fur trader Michel B. Menard purchased seven square miles of
land for $50,000. That land became the city of Galveston.
The City of Galveston is located on a barrier island 32 miles long and approximately 2.5 miles
wide just off the Texas Coast in the Gulf of Mexico. The island city is approximately 50 miles
southeast of Houston. Galveston is accessible by a causeway that links the island to the
mainland on the northern end of the city, a toll bridge on the western end of the island, and a
ferry service at the east end of the island.
Over the years, the island was battered by a number of tropical storms, yellow fever and the Civil
War, but those adversities couldn't slow Galveston's growth. With its natural seaport leading to
business opportunities in shipping, imports and rail, Galveston's population boomed and the city
thrived. In 1885 it was the largest and richest city in the state. In the late 1800s the “Strand” was
the banking, retail and shipping hub of the area and was known throughout the country as the
"Wall Street of the Southwest." When the railroad connected Galveston to the mainland in the
1860s, the City became the major trade center west of the Mississippi.
The island was riding a tide of prosperity when a torrential hurricane hit in 1900. The swelling
seas and high winds leveled many blocks and took over 6,000 lives. Despite the horrific loss,
islanders didn't delay in rebuilding their island and ensuring its protection from future storms.
Islanders approved a plan to build a 17-foot-high seawall along the beachfront. Behind the
seawall, all structures, including offices, homes, and churches had to be raised to this new
elevation. The structures were carefully raised and a total 25 million cubic yards of fill was
pumped in. Construction of the seawall and the grade-raising were phenomenal feats of
engineering and incredibly expensive even by today's standards. The grade-raising cost
Galveston taxpayers and individual homeowners $8 million. The 10.4-mile seawall cost almost
$14.5 million.
In the beginning of the 20th century, Galveston's premiere status as the major seaport for the
region diminished as the Houston Ship Channel was completed and Houston aggressively sought
rail and shipping business while Galveston still recovered from its tragedy. The Strand didn't
recover for many years from the economic and physical lashing Galveston took. But 95 years
later, The Strand experienced a revival. The Strand Historical District is noted nationally for its
restored Victorian architecture. With an infusion of millions of dollars to restore historical
buildings for new uses, The Strand was once again a bustling center for retail and tourist trade.
Hurricane Ike left most of The Strand area inundated by 10+ feet of water which receded back
from Galveston Bay. A significant portion of the businesses in the Strand area have rebuilt and
reopened.
Galveston again experienced the effects of an intense hurricane on September 13, 2008 when
Hurricane Ike made landfall at 2:10AM, with the eye of the storm over the east end of the island.
The storm had sustained winds of 110 mph, gusts of 125 mph, and an eye that was 46 miles

wide. The Galveston Seawall protected much of the City from storm wave action. However,
Galveston was flooded by a storm surge that entered Galveston Bay and came into the City from
the north. The highest storm surge has been estimated at 17 to 20 feet. Hurricane Ike was the
third costliest storm to ever make landfall in the United States.
Hurricane Ike did damage to approximately 75% of the housing on the island leaving 1,400
families displaced. A property damage assessment survey conducted by the City of Galveston,
reported that 17,179 housing units had been damaged with 182 units completely destroyed by the
storm and approximately 2,000 homes recommended for demolition (including the 569 units
owned by the Galveston Housing Authority, which were demolished).
Multifamily
developments generally sustained a higher percentage of damage than single-family residences.
According to the Hurricane Ike Impact Report, December 2008, “much of the housing that
sustained over 50% damage was “affordable” housing necessary to attract and maintain a
sufficient workforce.” Hurricane Ike also damaged many of the businesses in the downtown, the
Port, Harborside, and beachfront area. According to the Hurricane Ike Impact Report, December
2008, “it is estimated that up to 85% of the city’s business base is gone.” UTMB, the largest
employer on the island was severely damaged by Ike and subsequently laid-off almost 2,500
workers. Tourism, which provided approximately 30% of the employment on the island, was
also negatively affected by Ike. Depending on which statistics are relied upon, it appears that
15% to 27% of the population of Galveston has not yet returned to the island.
While its port is still active, the island economy is more diverse now. Medical research, the
insurance industry, education and tourism give the economy more stability and strength.
Galveston plays host to five-to-seven million visitors a year. They are attracted to the same
features that brought visitors 100 years ago - the island's natural beauty, first-class hotels and
restaurants, the arts, cultural activities and recreational attractions.
Attractions and Recreation
Recreation is plentiful on the island. As of May 1995, the beaches between 10th and 61st Streets
were enhanced by the Beach Renourishment Project. This project, the first of its kind in the state
of Texas, resulted in 150 feet of usable beach along a 10.4 mile area of Galveston's world famous
Seawall. The Galveston beaches were again damaged by Hurricane Ike, but with State and
Federal assistance, have been again replenished. Citizens and tourists alike can now enjoy an
extended evening walk along the new shoreline or picnic in the sun during a day's outing with
the family.
Moody Gardens is a lush, tropical setting for a world-class educational and recreation complex.
The 10-story-tall, framed glass Rainforest Pyramid transports visitors into a jungle representative
of Asia, Africa and the Americas, with hundreds of exotic plants and a landscape of waterfalls,
cliffs and ponds inhabited by birds, butterflies and fish. The IMAX Theater offers 3-D movies
on a 6-story-high screen. "Palm Beach" is open Memorial Day to Labor Day while the rest of
Moody Gardens is open year-round. The Moody Gardens Aquarium, and nearby full-service
hotel, are also popular destinations.

A ship that occasionally sails from Galveston is the Elissa, a 19th-century square-rigged iron
baroque that called twice on the bustling port city during a long sailing career. Purchased in the
1970s by the Galveston Historical Foundation, the ship was restored to its former majesty and is
open for tours at Pier 21.
Highlighting Elissa is the adjacent Texas Seaport Museum, vividly illustrating Galveston's
maritime history through interactive exhibits and a multi-media show. Visitors can search a
computer database, containing 130,000 entries, for ancestors who may have immigrated to the
U.S. through the Port of Galveston, "the Ellis Island of the West."
The Galveston Historical Foundation, which was chartered in 1954 to preserve Galveston's
history, operates a number of attractions, in addition to the Elissa and the Seaport Museum. They
include the 1859 Ashton Villa house museum, the 1839 Williams Home, Bishop’s Palace, the
Galveston County Historical Museum and the "Great Storm" multi-media show on the infamous
1900 hurricane.
Ships, planes, trains and automobiles - all have museums in their honor in Galveston. The
Railroad Museum, at the beginning of the historical Strand District, houses 40 rail cars and
locomotives. Strolling through the sleeper and restaurant cars, one gets a sense of what it was
like to travel by rail in years past. In the David Taylor Classic Car Museum gleaming rows of
restored classic cars illustrate the history of automobiles in the U.S. The Lone Star Flight
Museum, near Moody Gardens and the Galveston Municipal Airport, displays a rare collection
of restored period aircraft, many from the World War II era. The Lone Star Flight Museum has
been designated by the 74th Legislature of the State of Texas as the official home of the Texas
Aviation Hall of Fame. The Lone Star Flight Museum recently announced it would move off the
island to Ellington Field.
In almost any month of the year, you can find a festival on Galveston Island. The first weekend
in December brings "Dickens on The Strand" each year. A celebration of Charles Dickens's
Victorian London during the Christmas season, the festival features authentic British foods,
crafts and costumes. Festival-goers dressed in Victorian costume are admitted free.
Festivals and unique events throughout the year celebrate Galveston's diverse culture and history.
The Octoberfest, hosted by the Galveston Chamber of Commerce, the first weekend in October,
is a celebration of the island's ethnic and cultural make-up - Hispanic, African American,
German, Greek and many more.
Old-fashioned railroad handcar races are a part of the rites of spring on the island. The Galveston
Railroad Museum hosts dozens of teams from the Houston-Galveston area. They pump a handcar
down the city trolley tracks through The Strand to compete for the fastest time and the privilege
of representing Texas in the national competition held each fall in California.
Arts and entertainment is as much a part of the island's history as its port and Victorian
architecture. From theater, music, and dance in historic and traditional settings to reggae, rock
and country in the city's nightspots, Galveston sparkles at night.
The restored Grand 1894 Opera House, designated the official opera house of the state of Texas
by the 73rd Legislature and has been called one of the finest theaters in the world by veteran
C11-AHA-176

actor Hal Holbrook. Each season, The Grand hosts a line-up of international stars, touring
Broadway productions, classical music and dance.
The Grand also is home to the Galveston Symphony Orchestra, one of the finest orchestras for a
city of this size. Summer brings Galveston Island Outdoor Musicals and full-scale musical
productions. The restored Strand Theater entertains theater-goers with first-class plays and
musicals in an intimate, 200-seat setting. Upper Deck Theater at Galveston College is another
venue for area theatrical talents.
Reggae, jazz, blues and rock keep The Strand hopping at night. After dinner at one of the fine
restaurants in the area, live music and a waterfront stroll in the new Harborside area can
complete the evening, just one block north of the Strand.
Art galleries keep their doors open late on Saturday evening every six weeks and invite visitors
to view their offerings while snacking on complimentary wine and cheese. Known as the
Artwalk, this event has become quite popular. A number of galleries have sprung up in the
downtown area as artists are drawn to Galveston's laid-back lifestyle. A cluster of galleries on
the Strand nestled in various historically restored buildings as well as in the 2200 block of Post
office - known as Gallery Row - are housed in brightly painted Victorian buildings.
Galveston Island is known for its great restaurants, historical charm and first-rate attractions, but
it's also a popular place to take it easy. The seawall, a 10.4-mile-long stretch of sidewalk on the
Gulf of Mexico, attracts walkers, joggers, bicyclists, surfers, sunbathers, skaters and sightseers
year-round. It's a great place to exercise or just sit to watch a flock of brown pelicans skim across
the waves at sunset.
The Galveston Bay area hosts more sports fishermen than any other spot on the Texas Coast for
good reason. More than 100 species of fish are caught here regularly. Fishermen can cast their
lines wade fishing, from piers, or boats in either the bay or the Gulf. Seawolf Park on Pelican
Island is an especially busy fishing spot when the flounder are running from the bay to the Gulf
when the weather begins to cool in the fall. The Galveston Island Yacht Basin and a number of
area marinas are hotspots of maritime activity.
On dry land, outdoor sports enthusiasts can play tennis at one of 20 public courts, golf at the
municipal course or private country club, baseball at one of 10 ball fields or picnic at one of 12
public parks.
Recent additions include a Holiday Inn – Sunspree Resort, a Quality Inn, a La Quinta and a
Hampton Inn, which all have been built to handle the influx of visitors in direct relation to the
Schlitterbahn Waterpark development, the completion of a new convention center, the increased
number of cruise ship passengers embarking/disembarking on Galveston Island; and continued
redevelopment on the Seawall and in the historic Strand area. Schlitterbahn Galveston Island
Waterpark opened summer 2006. The park features more than 28 state-of-the-art attractions and
is the world’s first waterpark with a retractable roof system. This allows for indoor or outdoor
year-round operation. Schlitterbahn includes more than a dozen heated waterpark attractions
inside the 70,000-square-foot indoor / outdoor climate-controlled area including four tube slides,
three speed slides, three kids’ activity areas containing a variety of children’s play elements and

pint-sized slides, a secluded beach, a hot tub and a tidal pool. The outdoor area includes water
coasters, a wave lagoon, three beaches, body slides, a kids’ area, and family raft rides and three
different rivers that all connect to form the park’s river system that allows transportation from
one attraction to another. New retail opportunities are occurring all over Galveston: construction
of Piazza Blanca (70,000 square foot retail plaza); new high-end stores such as Chico’s in the
Strand; new construction of CVS and Walgreen stores near 61st and Stewart Roads; and, “bigbox” tenants at the old K-Mart building. Newer luxury high-rise condominium projects include
Palisade Palms, Ocean Grove and Emerald By The Sea. Beachtown, on Galveston’s East Beach,
and Beachside Village, single-family resort subdivisions developed in the neo-urbanism
traditional neighborhood style, and two single-family canal resort developments, Sunset Cove
and Anchor Bay, have likewise attracted interest from all over. Pointe West, a Centex
destination resort on both the beach and bay sides of the island, also is attracting a lot of
attention. The downtown submarket is seeing increased activity in loft development. The
Panama Lofts, Electric Company Lofts, Lofts at the Texas Building, Harborside Condos, the
Telephone Exchange Building Lofts and the Sergeant Building Lofts are attracting more
permanent residents and second-home owners to the area and providing additional opportunities
for stores, galleries and restaurants. In addition, Evia, a traditional neighborhood, is being
developed on the largest remaining tract of land behind Galveston’s Seawall. Encompassing 93
acres, it is anticipated to add almost 400 new homes to Galveston’s inventory; furthermore, the
development already is re-attracting those who left the island for new housing. Campeche
Shores, a new townhome community, is located in close proximity to this project. A
redevelopment of the 25th Street pier (formerly housing The Flagship hotel) into the Historic
Pleasure Pier is under construction.
Economy
Major employment sectors in Galveston are education, tourism and health care. Just a 30-minute
drive up Interstate Highway 45 is Johnson Space Center and many support industries with
opportunities in engineering, electronics and aeronautical research. And just a little further up the
highway is Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States. For those who don't mind a
commute, working in Houston and living in Galveston may seem to be the best of both worlds.
According to the UTMB website, on the island the University of Texas Medical Branch is the
largest employer with over 11,500 employees and growing, of which a reported 60.5% live on
the island and approximately 70% earn $60,000 or less per year. Of those UTMB employees
earning $60,000 or less, 60% also live on this island. Galveston's impressive medical complex
has a $1.2 Billion expenditures budget. With health care, research and education arms, the
medical branch has job opportunities in a wide range of areas for all skill levels.
As a major vacation destination with more than 4,000 hotel rooms and condominiums, as well as
many dozens of fine restaurants and great attractions, Galveston's hospitality industry generates
more than $350 million annually and a growing number of jobs.
Education is another major employer in Galveston. In addition to four colleges and two institutes
at UTMB, Galveston is home to the Texas A&M University at Galveston, Galveston College and
Galveston Independent School District.

The island also supports significant maritime activity. Home of the Port of Galveston, the island
is recognized as the ideal base of operations for offshore gas and oil support facilities. The port
boasts a modern container terminal, vast warehousing space and four railroad companies serving
every state west of the Mississippi.
Trains cross Galveston Bay on a bridge adjacent to the Causeway, the major link to the
mainland. The San Luis Pass Bridge on the west end and a public ferry service at the east end
provide additional access.
Major air service is available at two Houston airports - Hobby Airport, typically less than 45
minutes from Galveston, and Houston Intercontinental Airport, typically less than one and a half
hours from Galveston. Galveston also has a municipal airport, Scholes Field, used for private
commuter flights between Dallas Love Field and Austin airports, as well as for private flying and
helicopter services.
Convention Center
In addition to the aforementioned circumstances that drive the Galveston economy, the City of
Galveston constructed a convention center at the intersection of 57th Street and Seawall
Boulevard. The convention center is a project of Landry’s Restaurants (Tillman Fertita) and the
City of Galveston and opened in Spring 2004. Landry’s was also involved in the construction of
the Rainforest Café along the seawall.
Cruise Ships
Galveston is also benefiting from cruise traffic. Based on projections for passenger statistics, the
Port of Galveston ranks as the 12th-largest cruise port in the world, the number-five U.S. port,
and the number-one cruise port on the Gulf of Mexico. The port continues its investment of $45
million in cruise facilities. Currently, Carnival Cruise Lines and Royal Caribbean International
set sail from Galveston. Disney’s Magic ship will begin passenger service from Galveston this
fall. Princess Cruises has also announced that it will resume seasonal cruise ships from
Galveston this fall. In 2010, the cruise services from the Port of Houston reportedly produced
nearly 500,000 visits amounting to an estimated $34.7 million in passenger and crew onshore
spending. Carnival Cruise Lines is replacing both ships which have Galveston as their homeport.
The new ships (Magic and Triumph) have a combined capacity of 7,117 passengers, which is
1,526 passengers more than the ships being replaced (Conquest and Ectasy). Adding the
additional Carnival capacity to that generated from Disney’s Magic and Princess’s Crown
Princess results in a 28%+ increase in passenger capacity to over 800,000 potential embarkations
annually The economic impact is a projected $70 million in passenger and crew onshore
spending. The resulting $25MM+ increase in tourism spending translates into approximately
528 new direct jobs and 113.5 additional indirect jobs.
The Port has also promoted industrial growth as Agriliance LLP and Gulf Copper Manufacturing
join existing customers Del Monte Fresh Produce, ADM Grain, “K” Line, Galveston Terminals,
Holcim Cement, Smith-Hamm, and Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics along the Galveston
Harbor.

Medical
Galveston Island is recognized worldwide for its health care and medical research advances.
Island residents have the peace of mind in knowing that the most advanced health care
technologies and the best-trained medical staffs are easily accessible.
The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) is the island’s largest employer and is in the
process of repairs/renovation from Hurricane Ike damage totaling over $1.2 Billion.
Additionally, it was recently announced that the Jeannie Sealy Hospital would be demolished
and replaced with a new $438MM, 254-bed surgical hospital. The new hospital will leave
UTMB with slightly more hospital beds than before Hurricane Ike.
With over 11,500 employees, the university is the largest employer in Galveston County, and
among the largest employers in the Houston-Galveston area. Jobs attributable to UTMB
numbered 19,000 in 2002, and the university’s impact on Galveston County business volume
topped $305 million. Employment at UTMB is anticipated to increase by 1,500 to 2,500 jobs
subsequent to the completion of the new Jeannie Sealy Hospital, which is anticipated to be in
2016.
The Galveston National Laboratory, a $300 million investment completed in 2003, is one of just
two national biocontainment laboratories constructed under grants from the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Disease/National Institute of Health. The University of Texas Medical
Branch hospital complex, located on 84 acres at the eastern end of Galveston Island, includes
eight hospitals and 140 outpatient clinics specializing in almost every major medical field. The
state-funded facility is one of the principal medical centers in the Southwest for patient care,
research and medical education. Historically, UTMB has dedicated considerable resources to
scientific inquiry. Today, researchers explore a wide range of fields, including new approaches
to prevention and treatment of disease and disabling conditions.
UT-MED is the faculty physician group practice at UTMB. UT-MED represents a broad range
of physician specialties to meet virtually all health care needs. In addition to the super-specialist
physicians one would expect to find in an academic medical center setting like UTMB, the group
practice includes a number of physicians in the primary care areas of family medicine general
internal medicine, and general pediatrics. Primary care physician offices are located both on the
UTMB campus and at several locations throughout Galveston County.
The Galveston Institute was the first of three burns facilities in the country funded by the
Shriners of North America. Children with severe burns are flown from around the world to
Galveston Island for specialized treatment at Shriners Burns Institute. The research and
treatment center opened its new eight-story, 30-bed facility in March 1992. The institute treats
children with severe burns, serving an average 650 patients a year, in both acute care and
reconstructive treatments. The hospital and its medical staff are renowned throughout the world
for their innovative research and excellent progressive treatments that accelerate healing. The
Burn Institute sustained significant damage from Hurricane Ike. There was talk of permanently
C11-AHA-176

closing the facility; however, the decision was made to renovate the facility. The facility was
renovated and reopened in 2009.
Columbia Mainland Medical Center is comprised of the 320-bed Mainland Center Hospital in
Texas City, just 15 miles from Galveston. Mainland Medical Center, on the west side of Texas
City, is the site of all emergency and medical/surgical services. The Women's Center at
Mainland Medical Center Hospital offers obstetrical care for women and newborns. The
Mainland campus also houses the Center for Performance, dedicated to the rehabilitation of
orthopedic, neuro-muscular and muscular/skeletal injuries, as well as diagnostic, strength and
conditioning equipment, and The Institute for Living offering treatment programs for substance
abuse and mental health issues. The newest project at Mainland Medical center is the
construction of an $8 million medical office building adjacent to the hospital, a three-story
structure provides 60,000 square feet of new office space connected to the hospital by a climatecontrolled walkway.
Education
Galvestonians place high regard on education as the means of improving their city and its
residents. The city has a strong public school system and eight private schools. Each year high
school graduates of Ball High School, O'Connell High School, a private Catholic school, and
Heritage Christian School are accepted by the top colleges and universities in the state.
Some graduates continue their education right on Galveston Island at one of three institutes of
higher learning - Galveston College, the University of Texas Medical Branch ,and Texas A&M
University at Galveston.
Considered one of the most progressive school districts in the state, Galveston Independent
School District has an ethnically and culturally diverse student population totaling about 6,500.
The district employs ±1,000, of which about half are teachers. The district average for the
student/teacher ratio is 13:1. Subsequent to Hurricane Ike, approximately 1,900 students were
displaced and did not re-enroll in Galveston ISD.
The district offers a number of special programs to meet the needs of its students. These include
bilingual education, the Special Activities in Gifted Education (SAGE) for students who excel
academically, dual credit with Galveston College, honors-level courses, the Banks Special
Learning Center for handicapped students, and the Johns Hopkins University’s “Success for All”
reading program.
Private education also is available to students in grades K-12. There are eight private schools,
with most providing an education for students at the elementary level. Galveston Catholic School
encompasses pre-kindergarten through eighth grade on two campuses and has enrollment of
around 350. O'Connell High School has students in grades 9-12. Trinity Episcopal School
enrolls 275 students, pre-school through eighth grade. The school offers caring teachers and
challenging academics in a value-centered environment.
For students who want to get an affordable education at an excellent two-year college, Galveston
College is the choice. Founded in 1966, the college offers a variety of general academic courses
as well as specialized classes to meet the needs of the community. Many students attend
C11-AHA-176

Page 30
City of Galveston Market Study
Galveston College to earn credit on courses before transferring to a four-year school. Others seek
careers in nursing, medical technology, culinary arts and other fields after completing a two-year
program at the college. The college also offers a full range of non-credit courses for fun and
personal improvement. The college is working with the community to develop programs to
strengthen the Galveston workforce, such as employee training programs to provide a steady
supply of qualified job applicants. Galveston College reported a current enrollment of 2,400
students and 5,000 individuals in continuing education programs.
Texas A&M University at Galveston is the "coastal campus" of the Texas A&M University's
College of Geosciences and Maritime Studies. This college of is one of the largest and most
comprehensive concentrations of ocean, atmospheric and earth sciences programs in the world.
TAMUG offers academic degrees in marine and maritime-related fields, research and continuing
education, and public service in marine science, engineering, business and transportation. It is
one of only six maritime training schools in the United States and the only one on the Gulf of
Mexico. Each summer TAMUG students continue their education aboard the training ship Texas
Clipper II as it travels to distant corners of the world. Enrollment is over 1,350. Most continuing
education facilities are housed at the Offatts Bayou Campus in Galveston. The Center for Marine
Training and Safety provides professional development of employees in the coastal and off-shore
maritime industries. The Oil Spill School and the Oil Spill Response Center serve to provide
protection against disasters. Programs for youth and senior citizens offer other marine education
opportunities.
Texas A&M University at Galveston is dedicated to excellence, as it strives to improve its
facilities. In March of 2002, TAMUG made plans to build a $14.8 million, 35,000 square foot
building to attract top-notch engineering faculty and students. In addition, TAMUG is
renovating a 44,000 square foot vacant office and manufacturing facility next to the campus to be
used for office administration, research, and classroom space. Enrollment for 2011 was
reportedly 2,058 students.
A large number of doctors throughout the state have either studied or interned at the University
of Texas Medical Branch, home of the first medical school in the state. Founded in 1891, UTMB
is a major academic health science center with major emphasis in three areas - research, health
care and education. More than 2,500 students are enrolled in UTMB's four schools and two
institutes: the School of Medicine, School of Nursing, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences,
School of Allied Health Sciences, Institute for the Medical Humanities, and the Marine
Biomedical Institute. A house staff of about 550 interns, residents and fellows receive graduate
training at UTMB.
Location
The subject property will be located on one or more unspecified sites within the City of
Galveston, Galveston County, TX.
Floodplains
Since a specific site or sites have not yet been determined, I was unable to determine the
floodplain status. The majority of the City of Galveston is located within the floodplain.
Therefore, it is likely that at least part of the subject would be located within the floodplain. All
improvements constructed within a floodplain must be properly elevated.

Utilities/Public Services
Police and fire protection are provided by the City of Galveston. The City also provides water
and waste water services. Electricity is provided by various providers including Reliant Energy.
Natural gas is provided by Texas Gas Service. Local telephone service is provided by AT&T.
The neighborhood is served by the Galveston Independent School District, with schools of all
levels located throughout the area. The Sheriff's Office, the Fire Department and EMS are
connected to the Emergency Enhanced 911 System and can respond to an emergency within
minutes. Medical services are located on the island including those associated with UTMB.
Soil and Sub-Soil Conditions
No soil engineer's report was available to us and no recent soil tests are known to have been
performed. Based on my observation of surrounding development in the immediate area and
lack of further evidence to the contrary, I have assumed a stable soil condition that would ensure
the structural integrity of any improvement which may be constructed. My value conclusions
could change should these assumptions prove incorrect. I caution and advise the user of this
report to obtain engineering studies which may be required to ascertain any structural integrity.
Environmental Conditions
No environmental report was available to us and no recent environmental tests are known to
have been performed. Because I have no evidence to the contrary, I have assumed that the
property is free of any material which would adversely affect the value, including, but not
limited to, asbestos and toxic waste. I caution and advise the user of this report to obtain
environmental studies which may be required to ascertain status of the property with regard to
asbestos and other hazardous materials

East/West Arteries: Seawall Boulevard/FM 3005 and Interstate Highway 45/Broadway
North/South Arteries: 51st Street, 61st Street, and 25th Street.
Development and Land Use Patterns
Land uses in the neighborhood of the three former public housing sites consist of a variety of
office (both 1-4 stories and higher), light commercial/industrial, retail and service, and
residential land uses, including, but not limited to, single-family residential subdivisions, and
multifamily. Residential development is located in various subdivisions throughout the
neighborhood, with commercial development located along the aforementioned thoroughfares.
The majority of housing in the area was constructed during or prior to the 1980's with more than
20% built before 1940. However, a limited amount of both new residential and commercial
construction has taken place in the subject neighborhood over the past few years. The general
consensus among real estate professionals is that this growth trend will revitalize as the economy
stabilizes.
Commercial developments are found primarily along the major thoroughfares. Prevalent forms
of commercial uses include neighborhood shopping centers, free-standing retail facilities, and
office/service development.

Trends
The subject’s neighborhood is mature in nature and is experiencing relatively stable property
values. The land values in the PMA had been relatively stable over the five years prior to
Hurricane Ike. The real estate market in the Greater Houston area, including the subject’s
neighborhood, has enjoyed relative stability over the past few years. The stability of the
neighborhood had been primarily attributable to a stable local economy, fueled by low inflation
and low unemployment. However, due to the state of the current economy, the market, as have
most markets, has stagnated. The real estate market is expected to improve as the economy
improves.

In conclusion, the neighborhood locations have average accessibility to area services and
employment centers, as well as surrounding communities. Area growth has occurred over the
past few years but has stagnated due to the state of the economy. The real estate market (both

Multifamily Development Trends
The following pages detail apartment trends within the submarket. The data referenced was
prepared by O’Connor & Associates research department via ongoing surveys involving each
property included in the data set. The data is “live” data, which is updated as information is
received for these properties; therefore, the data is current as of the date of my report preparation.
According to the most recent 2011 O'Connor and Associates O’Connor Data –Houston Area
Apartment Survey, there were 29 operating apartment projects in Galveston containing a total of
5,032 units. The overall occupancy rate for all operating apartment projects in this market area
was 72.85%. The average rental rate for these properties was $0.982 per square foot.
The above-reported occupancy does not paint the total picture. Excluding down units, closed
complexes, and the two complexes which would not confirm their occupancy, the more accurate
occupancy is 87.62%. I personally contacted all complexes of over 50 units in Galveston. The
following table depicts the result of those surveys:

Absorption
Absorption is defined as the “change in the number of occupied units within a given time frame”
and can be used as a proxy for market demand. Thus, positive absorption indicates strong
demand, while negative absorption implies decline in demand.
Absorption in the subject’s primary market area over the past twelve months ending June 2011
totals 220 units. Absorption has ranged from positive 254 units to a negative 160 units in the
past year. The greatest amount of absorption taking place is in the Class B and A properties.
There have been no new complexes constructed in Galveston since 2005. The Club of the Isle
was the most recent complex constructed in Galveston. It reportedly attained stabilized
occupancy within a few months of completion.
Ashton Place was completely closed for renovations after Hurricane Ike, and reportedly leased to
stabilized occupancy within 6 month of completion of the renovations, which equates to an
average absorption of approximately 26 units per month.
The table on the following page illustrates the most current O’Connor & Associates, O’Connor
Data apartment market data program absorption data for the subject’s primary market area.

Occupancy
The occupancies of the most comparable rentals (those used in the rent grids) included in this
study range from 90% to 98% The average occupancy for apartments in the subject’s primary
market area was reported at 72.85% in the most recent O’Connor Data apartment market data
program for the subject’s primary market area. The above-reported occupancy is understated
since it includes units that are not leasable. Excluding down units, closed complexes, and the
two complexes which would not confirm their occupancy, the more accurate occupancy is
87.62%. I personally contacted all complexes of over 50 units in Galveston. Based on my
analysis of the market and the limited amount of incoming product, occupancy is projected to
improve for this market.

Data apartment market data program occupancy percentages for the subject’s primary market
area.

Rental Rates
The average rental rate for apartments in the subject’s primary market area is reported at $0.982
PSF per month in the most recent O’Connor Data market survey for the subject’s primary
market area.
The table on the following page illustrates the most current O’Connor & Associates, O’Connor
Data apartment market data program rental rates for the subject’s primary market area.
Despite the fact that only one complex in Galveston was constructed in the 2000s (2005), none in
the 1990s, 11 in the 1980s, 12 in the 1970s, and 7 prior to 1970, the average rental rate PSF was
$0.982, which is unusually high. I ran the rental statistics in O’ConnorData.com for all
conventional complexes in Galveston County (excluding Galveston) and all complexes in
Houston, by decade built. The following table depicts the results of that research:

The average rental rates for the older Galveston complexes was 14.79% to 41.57% higher than
those in the remainder of Galveston County, and 18.77% to 24.75% higher than the average
rental rates PSF of the complexes in Houston. It is likely that the current relatively higher
current vacancy rate in Galveston is not a function of lack of demand, but rather the fact
that cheaper and/or higher quality at the same price apartment rentals are available off the
island.

Evaluation of the Existing Low-Income Housing
The primary market area was estimated to have 22,529 households in 2011. The projected
number of households in the year 2016 is 22,750. Considering that 56.39% of the population
lived in rental housing in the subject’s market area in 2011, there is sufficient demand for the
subject property.
Comparable Housing Conclusions
The majority of the apartment facilities in the subject’s primary market are older, less appealing
projects. It is my opinion that rental rates will show flat growth or nominal increases over the
next few years. With continued demand and moderate new construction, the supply of available
apartment product is stable. This trend is expected to continue, which will likely result in
occupancies increasing in the area. Although rents are increasing, there are limited indications of
external obsolescence in the market.
With respect to affordable housing projects, due to the overall lack of recently-constructed
Family affordable housing projects in the subject’s primary market area, and based on the
performance of the current low income housing developments in the general area, it appears as
though there is pent-up demand in the subject’s primary market area. With average rental rates
in all projects at $0.982 PSF, and occupancy rates averaging 72.85% overall or 87.62%
excluding the down units and complexes which would not confirm occupancy, it is reasonable to
project that a newly-constructed mixed-income complex with competitive amenities, such as the
proposed subject property, would perform favorably in this market. The comparable rentals used
in the rental analysis indicated an average rent PSF of $1.03 and an average occupancy of 94%,
which are also supportive of the likely success of the proposed subject property.
The map on the following page shows the rental comparables utilized in my analysis of market
rent.

City of Galveston Market Study
Explanation of Adjustments and Market Rent Conclusions
A Rent Comparability Grid was prepared for each of the subject’s unit types. Whenever
sufficient data was available, adjustments were based on a matched-pair analysis of the
comparables. Adjustments were also based on conversations with leasing agents and real estate
professionals in the area, information in my files, as well as personal observation and experience
of the analysts in the subject’s market area.
Line 1. Last Rented / Restricted. All of the rents utilized in this analysis represent market rents
currently quoted at the comparable properties. None of the rentals has rent restrictions on any
units.
Line 2. Date Last Leased. As all rents used in this analysis reflect current rates, no adjustments
were necessary for this line item. The rental rates are considered to be representative of current
market conditions.
Line 3. Rent Concessions. Only Rental 2 is currently offering concessions, which range from 3
weeks to 1.5 months of free rent on a 12-month lease. The adjustment was based on the prorated concession over the lease term.
Line 4. Occupancy for Unit Type. According to data collected, the market area has historically
maintained an occupancy level of 90%+ for all units over the past few years. The occupancy of
the comparables currently ranges from 90% to 98%. No adjustment was required in this regard.
Line 6. Structures / Stories. The subject improvements are currently proposed to consist of
low-rise elevator buildings and townhouse-style row buildings. All of the rentals are considered
functionally generally similar to the subject. Thus, no adjustment is applicable to the rentals for
this line item.
Line 7. Yr. Built/Yr. Renovated. The subject improvements are proposed. The comparable
properties have years of construction ranging from 1985 to 2005. Also included in this category
would be any allowances for functional utility. Based on an analysis of the comparables, as well
as similar complexes in comparable markets, an adjustment of $5 per year of age difference was
considered reasonable and was applied in my analysis.
Line 8. Condition / Street Appeal. The subject will be in good condition and will have good
street appeal. Adjustments in this category are based on the observed effective age and physical
condition of the projects. Adjustments in this category were based on a matched pairing of the
rental rates for Rental 1, which is considered generally similar to the subject in this regard, and
Rentals 2 through 5, which are considered inferior to the subject. The matched pairing indicated
an adjustment in the range of 25% for this inferiority. A 25% adjustment was considered
reasonable, and was applied to Rentals 2 through 5.
Line 9. Neighborhood. The subject property and all of the comparable properties are generally
affected by similar influences within their individual neighborhoods. Each of the comparables is
located in an area of mixed-use (residential & commercial), and no adjustment was required.
Line 10. Same Market? Miles to Subject. No adjustment is applicable for this line item.

Line 11. Bedrooms. No adjustment was necessary with the exception of the 3BR analysis.
Only Rental 1 features 3BR units. In order to determine an appropriate adjustment for an
additional bedroom, I performed a matched pair analysis on the comparable rentals. The
following table depicts that analysis.

An adjustment of $100 for a third bedroom was considered reasonable, and was applied to
Rentals 2, 3, 4 and 5.

analysis. The following table depicts my matched pair analysis.

Due to the limited number of pairings available, I also consulted local leasing agents/managers,
who indicated that an adjustment in the range of $10 for a half bath and $25 for a full bath was
typical, which was used in this analysis.
Line 13. Unit Square Footage. A matched-pair analysis was performed using the comparables
in this report. Comparing Rental 1's largest 1BR versus the smallest 1BR unit indicated an
adjustment of $0.79 per square foot. The following table depicts the matched-pair analyses
performed.

A matched-pair analysis in other similar market areas have indicated a range of $0.25 to $1.00
per square foot adjustment. Based on my experience, an adjustment of $0.50 PSF is appropriate
for one-bedroom, two-bedroom units, and the three-bedroom units.
In other markets, it is often found that no size adjustment is applicable within a size range of
approximately 10%. The comparables included in this analysis were supportive of an adjustment
to the subject for all size differences.
Line 14. Balcony/Patio. The subject complex will offer a private patio for each unit. Some of
the comparables offer balcony/patio. Based on the opinions of local leasing agents, although
considered an amenity, the presence of a balcony/patio does not typically translate into additional
rent. Thus, no adjustment was applicable for this line item.
Line 15. AC: Central/Wall. The subject apartment units feature a central heating system and
air conditioning. All of the comparables offer central AC and heat units. Thus, no adjustment
was applicable for this line item.
Line 16. Range/Refrigerator. The subject, as well as the rentals, are equipped with a range and
refrigerator. Thus, no adjustment was applicable for this line item.
Line 17. Microwave/Dishwasher. The subject will feature a dishwasher and microwave. All of
the rentals are equipped with a dishwasher, with some featuring a microwave. Managers
C11-AHA-176

interviewed indicated no premium for a microwave. Thus, no adjustment was applicable for this
line item.
Line 18. Washer/Dryer. The subject will offer washer and dryer connections and units in each
apartment. All of the comparables also offer washer/dryer connections. Rentals 1 and 3 also
include washer/dryer units in the base rent. None of the comparables used in the rental grids
offer washer/dryer units for rent. I was able to located the following complexes in Galveston
which do offer washer/dryer units for rent:
Carleton Courtyards
Gulf Winds
Lakeside at Campeche
Newport @ West Beach
Park @ Cedar Lawn
$45 per month
$35 per month
$40 per month
$30 per month
$40 per month
An adjustment of $40 per month was considered reasonable, and was applied in my analysis.
Line 19. Floor Covering. The subject units will feature tile and carpet. All of the comparables
feature similar flooring. Thus, no adjustment was applicable for this line item.
Line 20. Window Coverings. The subject property and all of the rentals provide window
coverings. Thus, no adjustment was applicable for this line item.
Line 21. Cable / Satellite / Internet. The subject property and all of the rentals provide cable
access to the tenants although at a tenant expense. Thus, no adjustment was applicable for this
line item.
Line 22. Special Features. No adjustment was required.
Line 23. Daily Activities. N/A
Line 24. Parking. The subject complex will feature open parking. All of the comparables are
feature open parking with some offering carport and/or garage spaces for an additional change.
No adjustment was required in this regard.
Line 25. Extra Storage. The subject will have additional storage for some units. Some of the
comparables also feature extra storage. Based on the opinions of local leasing agents; although
considered an amenity, the presence of extra storage does not typically translate into additional
rent. Thus, no adjustment was applicable for this line item.
Line 26. Security. The subject property will offer perimeter fencing and access gates. All of
the rentals also offer perimeter fencing as well as access gates. No adjustment was required in
this regard.
Line 27. Clubhouse / Meeting Rooms. The subject property will feature a community room.
All of the rentals offer a community room or clubhouse. Thus, no adjustment was applicable for
this line item.
C11-AHA-176

Page 63
City of Galveston Market Study
Line 28. Pool / Recreation Areas. The subject will feature recreation area and a pool. All of
the rentals offer these amenities. Thus, no adjustment was required for this line item.
Line 29. Business Center/Neighborhood Network. The subject property will offer a business
center. All of the rentals offer a business or internet center. No adjustment was required for this
line item.
Line 30 and 31. No adjustments were applied for these categories.
Line 33. Heat. The subject will have electric heat, which is a tenant expense. All of the rentals
feature electric heat, which is a tenant expense. No adjustment was required.
Line 34. Cooling. The subject will have electric cooling, which is a tenant expense. All of the
rentals feature electric cooling, which is a tenant expense. No adjustment was required.
Line 35. Cooking. The subject will have electric cooking, which is a tenant expense. All of the
comparables feature electric cooking, which is a tenant expense. No adjustment was required.
Line 36. Hot Water. The subject will have electric hot water heaters, which is a tenant expense.
All of the comparables feature electric hot water, which is a tenant expense. No adjustments
were required.
Line 37. Other Electric. An adjustment was not applicable for this line item.
Line 38. Cold Water/Sewer. The subject property will include water and sewer service as part
of the rent. Only Rentals 2 and 5 includes water/sewer in the rent. Rentals 1, 3 and 4 required
upward adjustment. Adjustments for this line item are based on the HUD Utility Allowance for
Galveston for Water and Sewer.
Line 39. Trash/Recycling. The subject property will include trash service as part of the rent as
do all of the comparables. No adjustment was required in this regard.
Line 46. Conclusion of Market Rent – 1BR/1BA Units. The adjusted rents for the subject’s
650 square foot 1BR/1BA unit range from $815 to $989 per month. Based on the above
analysis, a concluded market rent of $890 per month for the subject’s 1BR/1BA 650 square foot
units is reasonable and well supported by the market data. Given the limited amount of recent
construction of market-operated apartments in the subject’s area, a limited number of truly
comparable properties were available, which resulted in relatively high adjustment percentages.
Consequently, Rentals 2 through 5 required in excess of 15% gross adjustment.
Line 46. Conclusion of Market Rent – 2BR/1BA Units. The adjusted rents for the subject’s
895 square foot 2BR/1BA unit range from $997 to $1,283 per month. Based on the above
analysis, a concluded market rent of $1,190 per month for the subject’s 2BR/1BA units is
reasonable and well supported by the market data. Given the limited amount of recent
construction of market-operated apartments in the subject’s area, a limited number of truly
C11-AHA-176
Affordable Housing Analysts
Page 64
City of Galveston Market Study
comparable properties were available, which resulted in relatively high adjustment percentages.
Consequently, all of the Rentals required in excess of 15% gross adjustment.
Based on the above analysis, a concluded market rent of $1,215 per month for the subject’s
2BR/2BA 895 square foot units is reasonable and well supported by the market data.
Based on the above analysis, a concluded market rent of $1,235 per month for the subject’s
2BR/1.5BA 960 square foot units is reasonable and well supported by the market data.
Line 46. Conclusion of Market Rent – 3BR/2.5BA Units. The adjusted rents for the subject’s
1,235 square foot 3BR/2.5BA unit range from $1,383 to $1,717 per month. Based on the above
analysis, a concluded market rent of $1,525 per month for the subject’s 3BR/2.5BA 1,235 square
foot units is reasonable and well supported by the market data. Given the limited amount of
recent construction of market-operated apartments in the subject’s area, a limited number of truly
comparable properties were available, which resulted in relatively high adjustment percentages.
Consequently, all of the rentals required in excess of 15% gross adjustment.
Based on the above analysis, a concluded market rent of $1,440 per month for the subject’s
3BR/2BA 1,080 square foot units is reasonable and well supported by the market data.

Eligible Renter Analysis – HTC Rent-Restricted Units
Based on typical standards of apartment management companies in the Greater Houston area, to
qualify for a Family rent-restricted apartment, the annual rental should not exceed 35.0% of the
annual gross income of the household. Utilizing the most recent demographic data, the
following are calculations of the number of qualified residents in the immediate market area.
The developer’s minimum gross rent level at the subject property is $371 per month (HTC unit
rent assuming that some of the units will be 9% HTC units at 30%, 50% and 60% AMI levels),
which at 35% equates to an annual income of $12,720 in order to qualify for the HTC rentrestricted units at the subject property. The maximum income level is estimated to be $42,240,
which is the maximum household income for a family of five making 60% of the area median
income. Those earning below $12,720 and above $42,240 are not solid candidates for the
subject project. Thus, based on the above calculations, the total percentage of households
eligible on an income basis in the subject’s primary market is 18.05%.

DEMAND FROM SECONDARY MARKET AREA (SMA)
The subject will likely draw from outside its primary market area. Based on my research and
interviews with existing HTC managers and leasing agents, a significant portion of the existing
HTC complexes are leased to tenants from outside the PMA, and even outside the state.
The 2010 TDHCA Real Estate Analysis rule allow for up to 25% of total demand to come from
outside the PMA. A SMA demand analysis was performed. The SMA was determined to be the
southern portion of Galveston County excluding Galveston Island, which included Census Tracts
48167720600 through 48167723900. The population within the SMA was 186,156, which
added to the population within Galveston Island, is well below the TDHCA maximum of
250,000 persons for the PMA and SMA. The HISTA demand analysis indicated demand for
5,891 HTC units within the SMA, which is well above the allowable 25% of total demand.
Demand from Section 8 Housing
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 authorized the Housing Assistance
Payments Program (Section 8). Section 8 provides rental assistance to low-income families,
elderly, disabled, and handicapped individuals. This Program provides financial assistance to
eligible families whose annual gross income does not exceed 50% of HUD's median income
guidelines (in most instances). Demographic projections indicate a continuing population and
household growth in segments that generally create the largest demand on affordable housing
supply.
Section 8 vouchers will be accepted at the subject property. Galveston Housing Authority’s
PHA reports that the agency administers 697 HCV vouchers which are used in Galveston.
Houston Housing Authority administers an additional 192 HCV vouchers which are used in
Galveston, resulting in a total of 889 HCV used in Galveston currently, which was used in my
analysis.
The Galveston Housing Authority surveyed their tenants who lived in the PHA housing prior to
their demolition after Hurricane Ike. 186 of those living off the island (approximately 1/3 of the
569 prior residents) indicated they had a desire to return to the island when new replacement
housing was available.
Demand Calculations
All demographic information, including projected growth rates, has been obtained from Claritas,
Inc. Several variables are utilized in my demand calculations. Percent Income Qualified
represents the percentage of renters who meet both the minimum and maximum income criteria
outlined above. Percent Renters was obtained from table HCT11 from the Census Bureau for
the PMA. Appropriate Household Size is based on a maximum of ±1.5 persons per bedroom at
the subject complex (which offers one, two, and three-bedroom units).
Demand from Other Sources encompasses households moving from outside the market area.
Demand from other sources represents new demand that will be created by the development of
the subject property. The addition of a quality affordable housing community will increase the
desirability of the primary market area, resulting in a potential influx of renters that is not
otherwise accounted for in the census projections.

Demand from other sources for the subject will likely come from a number of sources.
Former Galveston Mayor, Lyda Ann Thomas, was quoted in an article stating that “some 13,000
families still aren’t able to return to the island because of a housing shortage.” This quote was
from March 2009; however, there has been little new construction, and no where near 13,000
existing units repaired and brought back on-line. Demand still exists for households who left the
island due to Hurricane Ike’s Damage. Putting an exact number to this demand source is
difficult.
In addition to the increased Galveston employment from UTMB and cruise ship tourism
increases discussed earlier, several other project in Galveston or surrounding areas have been
announced. Tanger Outlet has begun construction on the first phase of a Tanger Outlet Mall to
be located on the west side of Interstate 45 near mile marker 17. The 90 store, 350,000 sf facility
is projected to employ 900 employees. Due to the relatively high occupancy in the immediate
area, it is likely that a significant percentage of those employed at the new mall will choose
Galveston as the place to live. An economic impact study conducted on the proposed subject
project reported that it would generate 114 direct jobs and 24.5 indirect jobs. Lowe’s has
announced that they will construct a 117,000 square foot Lowe’s Home Improvement store near
the intersection of 57th and Broadway. Based on industry standards, the store should create
approximately 200 direct jobs. Petsmart is constructing a retail pet products store in the Galvez
Shopping Center, which will reportedly create 40 new direct jobs.
The following table depicts the estimated number of direct and indirect jobs to be created in the
area from known sources.

A significant percentage of these jobs will be in the income range which would qualify the
tenants to live in the HTC units. Not all of the new employees will be new to the island, nor will
all choose to rent rather than purchase. However, given the tight current credit market and the
relatively low wage scale for these workers, it is highly likely that the majority would be renters.
I have conservatively projected that out of the 4,595 estimated new jobs created, 2,000 would be
potential tenants for the subject development.

Capture Rate – Rent-Restricted Units
The TDHCA defines the Gross Capture Rate as “the Relevant Supply divided by the Gross
Demand.” Relevant Supply is defined as “The Relevant Supply of proposed and unstabilized
Comparable Units includes: (a) The proposed subject Units; (b) Comparable Units with priority
over the subject, based on the Department’s evaluation process…”; (c) Comparable Units in
previously approved but Unstabilized Developments in the Primary Market Area (PMA); and (d)
Comparable Units in previously approved but Unstabilized Developments in the Secondary
Market Area (SMA), in the same proportion as the proportion of Potential Demand from the
SMA that is included in Gross Demand. Gross Demand is defined as “The sum of Potential
Demand from the PMA, demand from other sources, and Potential Demand from a SMA to the
extent that SMA demand does not exceed 25% of Gross Demand.”
Based on my research, there is one affordable Family housing project approved by the TDHCA
(Champion Homes @ Marina Landing – 256 units, all HTC), one Family TDHCA project
currently under construction (Champion Homes @ Bay Walk – 192 units, all HTC), and one
approved CDBG-funded adaptive-reuse Family complex (2101 Church Street – 83 units) with 46
units at 80% of Adjusted Median Income (AMI) levels and 37 market-rate units. There are
currently three proposed or non-stabilized PHA developments in Galveston: The Oaks, a 40-unit
development which is in lease-up; 50-unit scattered site new construction (proposed), and 150unit scattered site acquisition/rehab (proposed). Costa Mariposa is a 252-unit Private Activity
Bond (PAB) project located within the SMA in Texas City. Since demand from the Secondary
Market Area (SMA) is limited to 25% of total demand, 25% of the units in Costa Mariposa (63
units) were included in the capture analysis. The subject is proposed to contain approximately
684 units, of which 167 (24.4%) will be HTC units, 235 (34.4%) will be Public Housing units,
and 282 (41.2%) will be market rate units. Therefore, a total of 1,518 units (including the
subject) require absorption, of which 678 units will be HTC units. There are approximately
8,292 potential households (relevant to the HTC rent restricted units) based on income eligibility
and housing preference.
Capture Rate for 678 HTC Units
8.18%
(assuming all 678 HTC units would be coming online in the next 18-24 months)
MARKET RATE CAPTURE
The subject will feature 282 market rate units (built in five phases, as of the date of this report).
The only other “like” project with market rate units proposed, under construction, or nonstabilized is 2101 Church Street, which will feature 37 market-rate units.
The minimum market rent level at the subject property is $810 per month (developer proforma
market rent), which at 35% equates to an annual income of $27,771 in order to qualify for the
market-rate units at the subject property. There is no maximum income level for the market
units. Those earning below $27,771 income level are not solid candidates for the subject project.
Thus, based on the above calculations, the total percentage of households eligible on an income
basis in the subject’s primary market is 30.89%.
The following tables depict my market rate capture analysis.

City of Galveston Market Study
Although tenants could technically use a Section 8 voucher for a market rate unit, it is more
likely that those prospective tenants would use a voucher for a HTC unit. Fair Market Rent for
2012 in Galveston is as follows:
1 Bedroom - $776
2 Bedroom - $977
3 Bedroom - $1,250
After deduction for utility allowances, the proposed market rents are above the Fair Market
Rents for the subject market rate units.

PHA UNITS
The subject is proposed to contain approximately 34.4%, or 235 Public Housing units. There is
one non-stabilized Public Housing project (The Oaks with 40 units), one proposed newconstruction PHA project (50 scattered sites), and one proposed acquisition/rehab PHA project
(150 units) in Galveston. PHA units require the tenant to pay 30% of their household income for
housing.
The minimum gross rent level at the subject property is $25 per month (GHA PHA unit
minimum rent), which at 35% equates to an annual income of $857 in order to qualify for the
PHA rent-restricted units at the subject property. The maximum income level is estimated to be
$39,060 , which is 60% of the AMI for the area. Those earning below $857 and above $39,060
are not solid candidates for the subject project. Utilizing the most recent demographic data, the
following are calculations of the number of qualified residents in the immediate market area.

HISTA DEMOGRAPHICS CAPTURE ANALYSIS
I have calculated the capture rates per bedroom type, utilizing HISTA data. HISTA takes
Claritas demographics, and with the aid of some custom Census tables, calculates the renter
numbers on a per-person household within the different income bands. HISTA does not provide
population; therefore, both HISTA and an additional demographic source must be used.
The tables below depict the income bands for the subject’s proposed HTC unit mix/AMI levels.
Income overlaps were eliminated by setting the minimum of the next higher AMI level which the
subject proposes to serve as the maximum for the lower AMI units.

Detailed tables depicting the analysis summarized above are located in the addenda of this
report.
HISTA Capture Rate – Rent-Restricted Units
The TDHCA defines the Gross Capture Rate as “the Relevant Supply divided by the Gross
Demand.” Relevant Supply is defined as “The Relevant Supply of proposed and unstabilized
Comparable Units includes: (a) The proposed subject Units; (b) Comparable Units with priority
over the subject, based on the Department’s evaluation process…”; (c) Comparable Units in
previously approved but Unstabilized Developments in the Primary Market Area (PMA); and (d)
Comparable Units in previously approved but Unstabilized Developments in the Secondary
Market Area (SMA), in the same proportion as the proportion of Potential Demand from the
SMA that is included in Gross Demand. Gross Demand is defined as “The sum of Potential
Demand from the PMA, demand from other sources, and Potential Demand from a SMA to the
extent that SMA demand does not exceed 25% of Gross Demand.” In the following analysis,
only Family projects are included, since Seniors projects are not “like” projects to the subject,
and do not compete for the same tenant group.
Based on my research, there is one affordable Family housing project approved by the TDHCA
(Champion Homes @ Marina Landing – 256 units, all HTC), one Family TDHCA project
currently under construction (Champion Homes @ Bay Walk – 192 units, all HTC), and one
approved CDBG-funded adaptive-reuse Family complex (2101 Church Street – 83 units) with 46
units at 80% of Adjusted Median Income (AMI) levels. and 37 market-rate units. There are
currently three proposed or non-stabilized PHA developments in Galveston: The Oaks, a 40-unit
development which is in lease-up; 50-unit scattered site new construction (proposed), and 150unit scattered site acquisition/rehab (proposed). Costa Mariposa is a 252-unit Private Activity
Bond (PAB) project located within the SMA in Texas City. Since demand from the Secondary
Market Area (SMA) is limited to 25% of total demand, 25% of the units in Costa Mariposa (63
units) were included in the capture analysis. The subject is proposed to contain 684 units, of
which 167 (24.4%) will be HTC units, 235 (34.4%) will be Public Housing units, and 282
(41.2%) will be market rate units. Therefore, a total of 1,518 units (including the subject) require
absorption, of which 678 units will be HTC units. There are approximately 7,368 potential
households (relevant to the rent restricted units) based on income eligibility, housing preference
in the subject’s primary market.

Affordable Housing Analysts
Page 78
684-unit mixed income multifamily project to be located in one or more yet-to-be-determined
sites
Occupancy
The most comparable rentals (those used in the adjustment grids) reported current occupancies
ranging from 90% to 98%, with an average occupancy of 94%. Given the physical
characteristics of the subject (i.e. location, good curb appeal, new condition, amenities, etc.), the
strong occupancies reported at nearby HTC apartments, and that the subject will offer
competitive rents at a new property, a stabilized occupancy rate of 93% is reasonable and
achievable for the subject property.
Evaluation of Need of Affordable Housing
As the competing projects in the subject property’s primary market area have high occupancy
rates, and the nearest existing affordable projects (outside the PMA) reported occupancy rates at
or near 100%, it appears there is a shortage of affordable housing. The subject property should
be highly competitive in this market, and should achieve stabilized occupancy within 9 to 15
months after completion for each phase. As with most new projects, pre-leasing will take place
during the construction phase. Based on my analysis of the subject property's primary market
area, there is sufficient demand to construct and successfully absorb the 684-unit mixed income
multifamily project to be located in one or more yet-to-be-determined sites to be constructed in
five phases.
Capture Rate Conclusion
The TDHCA defines Capture Rate as “the sum of the proposed units for a given project plus any
previously approved but not yet stabilized new units in the submarket divided by the total
income-eligible targeted renter demand identified by the market analysis for the specific
project’s primary market or submarket.” Based on my research, there is one affordable Family
housing project approved by the TDHCA (Champion Homes @ Marina Landing – 256 units all
HTC), one Family THCA project currently under construction (Champion Homes @ Bay Walk –
192 units all HTC), and one approved CDBG-funded adaptive reuse Family complex (2101
Church Street – 83 units) with 46 units at 80% of AMI and 37 market-rate units. The Oaks, a 40unit development which is in lease-up; 50-unit scattered site new construction (proposed), and
150-unit scattered site acquisition/rehab (proposed). Costa Mariposa is a 252-unit PAB project
located within the SMA in Texas City. Since demand from the SMA is limited to 25% of total
demand, 25% of the units in Costa Mariposa (63 units) were included in the capture analysis.
The subject is proposed to contain 684 units, of which 167 (24.4%) will be HTC units, 235
(34.4%) will be Public Housing units, and 282 (41.2%) will be market rate units. Therefore, a
total of 1,518 units (including the subject) require absorption, of which 678 units will be HTC
units. There are approximately 8,292 potential households (relevant to the HTC rent restricted
units) based on income eligibility and housing preference in the subject’s primary market.

Absorption Projections
Absorption in the subject’s primary market area over the past twelve months ending June
2011 totals 220 units. Absorption has ranged from positive 254 units to a negative 160 units
in the past year. The greatest amount of absorption taking place is in the Class B and A
properties.
There have been no new complexes constructed in Galveston since 2005. The Club of the
Isle was the most recent complex constructed in Galveston. It reportedly attained stabilized
occupancy within a few months of completion.
Ashton Place was completely closed for renovations after Hurricane Ike, and reportedly
leased to stabilized occupancy within 6 months of completion of the renovations, which
equates to an average absorption of approximately 26 units per month.
Considering the strong absorption history of similar properties and the lack of available quality
affordable Family units in this market, I project that the subject property will lease an average of
15 to 25 units per month until achieving stabilized occupancy. I anticipate that the subject
property will achieve stabilized occupancy within 9 to 15 months following completion of each
phase of the development.
Effect of Subject Property on Existing Apartment Market
Many of the managers interviewed indicated a need for Family affordable housing. It is likely
that the subject will negatively impact the older complexes which are currently charging higher
rent PSF than would typically be realized in the general area. The free market economy will
likely result in those complexes either sustaining lower occupancies, lowering rents, or
renovating. Any negative impact from the subject property should be of reasonable scope and
limited duration.
