JAMESTOWN OVERVIEW Jamestown was established in 1983 as an investment and management company focused on income-producing real estate in the United States. Since 1983, Jamestown has expanded from a regional property investor into a national, vertically integrated real estate operator with approximately $9.9 Billion of assets under management. Jamestown s vertical integration comprises in-house capabilities encompassing most real estate disciplines including acquisitions, capital markets, property management, asset management, retail leasing, design, sustainability and risk management. Jamestown employs more than 230 professionals in the United States, with its primary headquarters in Atlanta, GA, and additional offices in New York, NY, Boston, MA and San Francisco, CA. institutional investors. The related company, Jamestown US Immobilien, has approximately 40 employees based in Cologne, Germany, who are focused on investor relations, fundraising and marketing for European investors. In 2013, Jamestown Latin America was founded to invest in real estate assets in select Latin American markets. With offices in Bogotá and Atlanta, Jamestown Latin America will oversee joint ventures, using its local market knowledge and hands-on asset management experience. All real estate acquisition and asset management activities are coordinated out of the U.S. offices, as well as fundraising, marketing and investor relations for 3

6 Jamestown takes a highly-disciplined, analytical approach to investing across the risk spectrum from core, to opportunistic. ACQUISITIONS Jamestown strategically focuses primarily on two types of markets: 24-hour metropolitan markets like New York and San Francisco and Sunbelt markets such as Atlanta, and Miami. These markets show strong demographic and economic growth, bolstered by the presence of emerging industries such as technology and new media. Jamestown takes full advantage of its integrated platform on each acquisition by engaging all company departments in the evaluation of new opportunities a highly-disciplined, analytical approach to investing that has contributed to great success during previous cycles. Within these markets, Jamestown invests across the risk spectrum, from core to opportunistic. Each year, Jamestown considers hundreds of investments, rejecting most and closing on less than 1% that meet the risk/return requirements of the applicable investment vehicle. ASSET MANAGEMENT Unlike many private equity funds that hire third parties to monitor and execute their business plans, Jamestown actively asset manages its entire portfolio in-house. The firm believes that investment management is too important to outsource. Moreover, when Jamestown participates in joint ventures where it is not the dayto-day manager, its experience affords Jamestown the ability to offer insights that facilitate successful management and take on a more involved role when necessary. The Asset Management department maintains a robust team of Asset Managers, Analysts and Project Accountants. As in all efforts, Jamestown strives for quality in its personnel, hiring and retaining some of the best minds in the industry. Traditionally, Jamestown also provides on-the-ground property management for most of its portfolio. Since its inception, Jamestown has managed over 15 million square feet of commercial space. This experience and in-depth knowledge enables Jamestown to add tremendous value to its portfolio and future investments. By staying closer to the real estate asset, management is constantly informed, which allows for nimble and value-maximizing decision making. Strong internal management provides a myriad of other benefits, such as cultivating close tenant relationships and providing tenants with access to expansion or relocation space in multiple markets, all the while maintaining continuity with a single property owner. Jamestown enjoys excellent relationships with prestigious companies, such as Google, Scripps/ Food Network, Major League Baseball, Anthropologie, Williams-Sonoma and J.Crew. 4

REALTY The Realty department works to develop merchandising plans that maximize each asset s retail positioning from both landlord and tenant perspectives, incubating innovative retail concepts and sourcing appropriate tenants. In the effort to capture substantial quality and value in Jamestown s retail assets through leasing, the Realty department conducts retail market analysis, advises on leasing economics, commissions consumer research and develops and implements the merchandising strategy. It is the team s primary responsibility to craft the retail story and then communicate this to brokers and retail brands. Realty also works with the Creative & Marketing department on space configurations, storefront presentations, lease transactions, continuous placemaking and product development. CREATIVE & MARKETING The Creative & Marketing department approaches assets from a brand perspective by developing and implementing distinctive property positioning, designing and producing compelling collateral, activating properties through innovative event programming, reconfiguring community spaces and collaborating with public entities including business improvement districts and neighborhood focused partnerships. The Creative & Marketing team creates and clearly communicates a unified brand and experience that will stand the test of time for each asset. Various components of creative and marketing work include overall branding, graphic design, architectural direction and vision, public relations, photography, advertising, collateral design (digital + print), social media, events, creative planning and budgeting. The end result of this creative and collaborative process is a distinctive, compelling and thorough brand for each asset - one that is activated through exceptional programming and differentiates Jamestown from the competition, while also creating value for each individual property. 6

The project is situated adjacent to the High Line, a former elevated freight railroad which has been redesigned as a world-renowned elevated urban park, offering Chelsea Market s guests access to an integrated landscape of green pathways. In an effort to fully realize the site s potential and Jamestown s investment, the company obtained additional development rights to maximize the asset s value. 7
