"Special Mcumsiances"
Z Building Condition, Building suffers from extensive deferred
maintenance requiring substantial expenditures, e.g.:
(a) warehouse floor preparation (seal cost)
(b) office renovation
(c) exterior improvements Including painting and signage
(d) painting of Interior warehouse
2. Building Layout.
(a) Excess Office Space. 7500 square feet of office represents
nearly 20% of available space.
(b) Interior Docks, Interior docks contrasted with exterior
docks use net to rentable area and diminish rental rates.
3. Operating Costs. Building has poorly insulated metal siding
causing an Increase in energy costs.
4.ectrical. Doflciencles. Prior usage resulted in scattered electrical
controls. In an efficient operation, all electricity should be re-
routed and consolidated In a centralized power box Inability to
manage existing elements has already resulted in electrical failure
and a freeze-up of the building's pipes.
5. Exlsting Taxes. Current real estate taxes combined with
operating inefficiencies render the property unleasable in the
current market, despite vigorous efforts to locate an appropriate
user.
