MEMORANDUM
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: July 18, 1997
1
TO: William Bums, City Manager/Executive Director of HRA ,�����
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Fridley Executive Center
TWO ISSUES
-�There are two issues for discussion:
1. Should the City continue to market the site as proposed in the current Master Plan?
2. Should the City continue a contractual relationship with MEPC American Properties?
MATRIX
In order to guide discussion, a"Matrix of Issues" has been developed to summarize key
information about four development options. A glossary of terms is aisa ax#,ached which
d�fnes the terms in each of the options. '
Four Scenarios
Scenario A, the "Corporate Office Park", represents the existing Master Plan of 582,000
square feet in four office buildings. The 90,000 square feet of retail and service uses is
included in all of the four scenarios.
Scenario B, "Operation Center/Office Building", is a 185,000 square foot multi-story
office building with 261,800 square feet in two operation center buildings (these are
two, two-story buildings).
�

Page 2
Scenario C, "Mixed Use Park", proposes 250,000 square feet in finro multi-story office
buildings and 100,000 square feet in two, one-story "tech flex" buildings. Tech flex
means a one-s#ory research and development facility with a higher grade appearance
than a typica! one-story office/showroom facility.
Scenario D, "Tech Flex", is 240,000 square feet in two or more tech flex one-story
buildings.
Issues
The first column in the matrix summarizes the financial impacts of each of the scenarios
in terms of the amount of annual taxes and the present value of tax increment. A
significant amount of time was spent making assumptions about the timing of the
development, the valuation per square foot, land sale prices (in some of the scenarios),
and the amount of development that can be accomplished on the site. These figures
come from a more detailed summary sheet entitled "Comparison of Scenarios".
• The second column is "net cost" which means the balance of ex enses
� costs) subtracted from revenues (tax increment and land sales).pThe exp nses do not
include the Authority's previous costs from the site (acquisition, improvements, or
holding costs).
Scenarios A and B assume that all of the land is written down to zero. Scenarios A, B,
and C assume that all of the parking ramp expenses are assumed by the HRA (and
paid for via the tax increment). Scenario D assumes land sales and no parking ramp
expenses because the proposed development is entirely one story with surtace pa�king.
Scenario C also assumes revenue from a land sale for the one-story building. �Also
included on the matr'rx is the net revenue if the HRA were responsible for only 50% of
the parking ramp costs.
The third column in the matrix identifies pertinent issues to each scenario from a market
perspective. Tech flex is hot in the market today. Corporate office space will take
longer to attract a user.
The fourth column in the matrix is entitled "Development/Empioyment Impacts". Each
scenario will produce different levels of density, jobs, and wage levels.
The fifth column pertains to the impact of each scenario on Fridley's "image". How
does each of the scenarios enhance or detract from Fridley's image?
Fridley Executive Center
July 18, 1997
Page 3
The last column is "Neighborhood impact". Changing the land use may have different
land use impacts on the surrounding area.
Extra space has been provided within the matrix for the City Council and HRA members
to make additional notes during Monday nighYs discussion. A full sized site plan for
each of the options will be available on Monday evening
A video of examples of each of the different types of buildings will also be��hown on
Monday evening, incfuding an example of tech flex and an operation cente � building.
MEPC has submitted a letter (attached) summarizing their activity in the last 18 months
plus a summary of the proposals made. Based on their experience with the Lawson
proposal, their letter suggests pursuing Scenario C starting with 100,000 square feet of
tech flex but preserving the remainder of the properiy for a corporate office user(s).
The questions which will be used to guide discussion on Monday evening are simply:
1. Should t#�e �ity continue to market the site undec the current Master Plan?
2. If not, which of the remaining three scenarios is the preferred altemative?
MEPC AMERICAN PROPERTIES
Selecting MEPC as the site's representative has served the City welt, despite the fact
that no development is underway. Some of MEPC's strengths are:
� National and intemational user contacts; some of the proposals have been made °':
because of r�lationships through prior leasing arrangements, either in the United
States or in London.
• Ability to self-finance was a key ingredient in the Lawson proposal.
• MEPC is well-respected in the metro area among commercial and industrial brokers.
• MEPC's mission to own and manage a corporate park is similar to the City's goal for
the prope►ty.
No matter the development scenario, MEPC is fully capable of carrying out a quality
project. Staff recommends the City continue to work with MEPC on any of the
scenarios.

�
In marketing terms, the previous 18 month relationship with MEPC is a very short
timeframe. !f the City were to initiate a process to select another developer, #he City
would lose valuable time in the marketplace to attract a user.
NEXT STEPS
Depending on the outcome of Monday's meeting, staff will schedule the appropriate
action items. For example, a new contract of exclusive negotiations will have to be
negotiated and approved by the HRA.

Market Charactensrics
MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL OFFICE MARKET
OVERVIEW & FORECAST
BY STEVE CHIRHART, SIOR
VICE PRESIDENT
GRIFFIN COMPANIES
The Twin Cities Office Market contains approximately 55 million square feet of multi-tenant office
properries. The Market consists of 40% Class A space, 37% Class B, with the remaining 23% consisring
of Class C& renovated properties.
Vacancy Rates ' ' .
Total office market vacancy rates have reached a twelve year low of 8.93% and aze expected to drop to
7.9% by June of 1997. The Southeast Quadrant and St. Paul CBD remain the softest market segments,
expenencing vacancy rates of approximately 16%. The St. Paul CBD, however, has expenenced both
eYtremely posirive absorprion, leading the Twin Cities market with 272,326 square feet and the strongest
improvement in rates, with increases averaging 25%.
Rental Rates
Rental rate increase�have averaged 13.8% with increases of as rriuch as 20 - 25% within the Minneapolis
and St. Paui CBDs. The average quoted net rerifal r$i�vvithin the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area as of
June, 1996 was $10.23 per square foot. Sross rate differentials of as much as $10 00- $14 00 per square
foot are now occurring between Class A and other altemahves. Future increases in netrental rates are.
expected to approach 13% before leveling off in late 1997, which will produce an average net rental rate
for the Twin Ciries Metrapolitan Area of $11.55 per square foot.
Absorprion
0
Market-wide absorption for the last twelve months slowed to 912,OOQ sq�are feet as compared to
l,Qa8,649 square feet the previous year. bso rion is ex ected to fall sh next year tc� 755,000
square feet. This decrease will occur as a result of ra idly risina'ren a ack of lar e block vacancies and �
tight labor market conditions. It is also likelv that the relocarion of State Farm Insurance from os vitle to
Woodbury an _ e possible "n�ht-sizin " of several CBD tenants could further dampen the market's
absorpnon of space.
Economic Trends
The Twin Ciries economy is doing extremely well and continues to show an amazing level of diversity.
Due to unemployment rates of less than 3% in the Metro area, the Twin Cities area has continued to
attract work force participants from areas beyond state lines. This fact coupled with a stron ca ital
mark� t connnues to bode well for start up companies and existing company expansions resulting in
contuiued long-term demand for office space. �—

Development Trends
The short term beneficiar�es of a ti.�ht of�ice
isrinQ landlords of all classes of
Owners ot Z`�B and C space may Fecei"ve_an added berr���! demand'for low cost altemanves
increases. The lo__�-terrr� beneficiaries of the`curt°eirt market will�e office developer of the future �vho �
� can reco�nize changing demands and produce an economically viable solution. This solurion will result in
a radically different officE� property over the next development cycle.
Smaller suburban projects are anricipated with more emphasis on function than form. They will have
smaller lobbies and comnnon areas and will emphasize value. They will also occur in phases of 50,000 - �
200,000 square feet rather than in 300,000 - 400,000 square feet increments. CBD development on the
other hand may move towards larger scale projects which help offset higher costs associated with site
assimilarion. All properties will have a much stroneer emphasis on electrical and mechanical systems to
meet the increasing technological needs and higher densities of office space users. �
until at
red thousand-scLare feet of new construcrion is expected to_enter the suburban market in 1997
300,000 to 400,000 in 1998. Development in either Central Business Distnct is not expected
-�
mid 1999.
Market Volarilitv
The Southwest Quadrant is by far the most stable market at present based on current demand and supply
The Minneapolis CBD on the other hand possesses the ability to fluctuate significantly in its direcrion if a
new tower is developed or a major consolidarion occurs_ This impact is expected to hit the market by
1998 or 1999 and will likely incre�.se vacancy rates back to a low double-digit level. St. Paul is doing a
vef=y good job of capitalizing on its strengths and changing its perceptio but the truth is, it lacks a �reat
deal of depth in the Class A segment, which has historically been higher in demand.
Sales Activitv
Institurional grade investo�s will conrinue to focus on well located trophy properties and will push prices
on existin� propenies to tt�eir highest levels in years, although srill below replacement cost. Class B, C.
and renovated properties �vill also benefit from the improved market condirions and reduced short-term
nsk associated with real estate investmenu. �'� ,
Conclusions
A caunous approach with a ctose eye on absorption nends will be critical in the coming year. While
landlords attempt to maxirnize values by raising rents, there are limits to the achievement of this objective.
Lower cost altematives will be sou�ht by pnce sensirive tenants who will look to Class B C or renovated
space as well as office/ showro� properties to satisfy demand.
r _--�
T'here should be no surpnses on the suppl�• side in the short term, but a new develQnment c�.-cle has now
begun_ :�s we have leameci historically there are manv market vanables�achich cou�ld c_han�e the
characterisrics of today's stable environment in a relatively short period of time.

• Corporate pressure to "right-size" is expected to
increase.
• As market conditions tighien, expansion,
contraction, and renewal option language will
become increasingly impo�tant_
• Five-year leases will dominate the market for small
to medium firms. Larger tenants will seek security
in 10-year leases with a focus on flexibility.

����
• 20Q,000 sf of new construction is currently
under development. Preleasing efforts are in
progress on ten additional sites.
• Suburban office development is less likely to
result in an immediate over supply condition as
development is phased, geographically diverse
and smaller in scale.
• Development within either CBD may have a�
more volatile impact on market conditions.

Office Market Trends O
Steve Chirhart, SIOR ,�,��,T
• Demand for office showroom space with
reasonable parking will also increase as a
desirable lower cost space attemative.
• The Class A o�ce product of the future will have
more of a focus o� function, such as, electrical
capacity and improved HVAC systems than on
form.
• Commercial real estate taxes wiil escaiate
sharply under their present system and

MINNEAPOLIS/ST PAUL
`. OFF�CE MARKET OBSERVATIONS
� BY JIM JETLAND
VICE PRESIDENT
• Tot31 universe of office space will remain stable but will increase the latter part
of 1997 with multiple new developments in the suburban market.
• Vacancy will drop slightly and absorption will decline due to a lack of
available space in the current universe.
• Effective rental rates are at a historical high due to significantly increased net
rents combined with lower transaction costs and the elimination of free rent.
� • investor interest in the Twin Cities office market is high and should remain
i w
strong for the near future. Real estate values have not reached a historical
i high however.
• Demand is slightly in excess of suppiy in both the Tenant/Landlord areas, as
well as Investor/Seller area of the real estate market, hence we will see a
continued increase in rents and sales.
• Replacement costs will create a barrier that will limit the rapid rise of
investment sales we have seen the last year.
• Real estate taxes payable in 1997 will increase as much as 20-35%. The %�
combination of increased net rents and real estate taxes will force selected
companies to downgrade from Class A to Class B or office/tech buildings.
� 17 new developments are being pursued in various stages throughout the
Twin Cities market. A significant increase in the total universe in a short
perioci of time will have a flattening or negative ef%ct on net rents.
,, ,_ , ,,.,, __.. .
., ... . .,�. . . .
■

r
_ <.. .j
I
�
�
• Mosi new office developments will be smaller in size (80,000 - 150;000 square
feet) with fewer amenities than the office product that was developed in the �
late 1980's.
• Many corporate users are planning a significantly higher density of people, per
square foot than in the past, which will effect building issues such as �i�
mechanical systems, parking, floor loading and restrooms.
• Many large users are being forced to consider long-term lease commitments
with new development; however, flexibility will remain a key issue for the
corporate user. • -
, • There will be less subiease space options in the market over the next 12
; months; however, look for 1-2 large subleases to become available through
further corporate downsizing.

- Demand is slightly in excess of supply in Tenant

hence we will see continued increase in rents

Summary:
Based on our experience with this development site and many conversations with
prospects and real estate professionals, it is apparent that demand for high density
executive office space in the northern Twin Cities market area is extremely limited.
However, given the explosive growth of technology firms and the recent success of
technology buildings throughout the Twin-City area we believe the Fridley Executive
Center site is ideally suited for this new wave of business space growth.
In meeting the needs of the corporate users of today and in order to get development
going on this site, MEPC would propose the development of approximately 100,000
square feet of Hi-Tech space on the westerly portion of the site. The project would
be similar in quality and appearance to Golden Hills Business Park in Golden Valley
and Golden Triangle Technology Center in Eden Prairie. Both of the projects have
been successfully constructed and leased by MEPC over the last yeax and a half.
These projects are attracting fast growth, quality companies such as:
CyberOptics 71,000 sf
Information Advantage 37,000 sf
Sedgewick James 22,000 sf
Workstations International 13,000 sf
Sales Force Companies 22,000 sf
Mr. Bill Burns
July 17,1997
Page 5
Many of these companies vacated office buildings to relocate to Hi-Tech facilities.
These Hi-Tech facilities offer a class "A" office environment with ease of access,
flexibility for growth and the functionality of a one-floor operation.
With this revision to the Master Plan, the City of Fridley would still have the
flexibility of developing appro�mately 250,000 sf of multi-story office space on the
balance of the site. MEPC believes that by beginning construction on the Hi-Tech
facilities now, we will generate new found attention to Fridley Executive Center.
In our e�ctended discussions with Lawson Software, we found an interest to have both
a corporate headquarters site and also a one (1) story Research & Development
(R&D) facility at this location. We therefore believe this type of mixed-use park
would fit many corporate users and attract excellent, high-quality, skilled
professionals to the City of Fridley, but not limit the future development of office
space on the balance of the site.
MEPC has greatly enjoyed the opportunity to work with a City that is so interested
in attracting and accommodating corporate users to this site. It has been a pleasure
to work with you and your staff and hopefully we can continue this relationship
through the completion of this excellent business park.
Sincerely,
MEPC AMERICAN PROPERTIES INC.

construction-ready rates, as evidenced by
the 25% increase in the average quoted
net rent to $14.21 psf in Class A. Another
5.4% jump in rates by fourth quarter
brings the average net rent up to $14.97
psf. Including the 22% jump in rental
rates reported for the year ending second
quarter 1995, this is an increase of 52%
in two years! Asking rents range from
$10 to 22 psf.
Six new Class A office towers are
proposed for downtown. Opus
Corporation has development
opportunities for three sites. At
444 Marquette (Powers site), a 15-story,
600,000 sq. ft. building is possible,
featuring large floor plates and
underground parking. At 707 Second
Avenue (Minnegasco site), a 35-story,
900,000 sq. ft. tower has been designed
with more typical floor plate sizes and
underground parking. Although there are
no immediate plans, Opus controls
development rights at the Ritz block
between Nicollet and Marquette and 3rd
and 4th streets.
Target Stores, Inc. plans to build a
400,000 sq. ft. office tower for its new
headquarters on a portion of the block
bounded by Nicollet Mall and LaSalle
Avenue and l Oth and 11 th Streets. And,
near the Govemment Center, plans for
Phase II of the Metropolitan Centre are
in the early stages.
Ryan Companies plans to demolish
The Conservatory at 8th and Nicollet and
build a 40-story skyscraper with 750,000
sq. ft. of office space. Also planned by
Ryan is the 900 Tower, a 500,000 sq. ft.
office building to be located above the
planned Target store.
The cfiallenge for these developers
is to convince would-be anchor tenants
with strong credit to sign a long-term
lease (15-20 years) at gross rents that
could be $35 psf or more.
And fmally, after four consecutive
years of increasing vacancy, the Class C
segment reported 26,431 sq. ft. of
absorption for fourth quarter, lowering
its vacancy rate to 21.6%. After suffering
negative absoiption of 22,100 sq. ft. and
a vacancy rate of 25.3% for the year
ending second quarter 1996, leasing
activity in four of the nine buildings in
this small segment improved the vacancy
rate by 3.7 percentage points.
Though asking rents are
comparatively low, an 18.3% increase
brought the average quoted net rent to
$fi.14 psf. By fourth quarter, another
1:�.6% increase brought the rates up to
$i;.25 psf.
MINNEAPOLIS OUT-Of-CBD
This sector of 15 buildings, totaling
1,332,463 sq. ft. of office space, had one
of' the most improved vacancy rates in
the metro area. The Out-of-CBD sector
reported annual net absorption of 55,533
sq�. ft., reducing its vacancy rate by 4.0
pe:rcentage points to 16.3%.
Strong leasing activity inUnivetsity
Ps�rk Plaza accounted for the majority
of'this absorption.
The average quoted net rent rose by
3°%, to $9.61 psf. Following the 14%
increase in the average property tax for
the previous year, real estate taxes decreased
b}� 9.6% to $3.12 psf. Average total
ex:penses decreased by 3% to $8.18 psf.
With a shortage of large blocks of
space, a new trend is emerging that is worth
noting: industrial warehouse space is being
converted to office space. An example of
this is the leasing of 180,000 sq. ft. at
Stinson Business Center by US West.
NORTHWEST
Several years of slow but steady
absorption have inched this sector's
vacancy rate down to 14.0%. Ten out of
12 buildings in this small sector
experienced equal or improved
occupancy. The biggest gain was in
Earl Brown Tower where 28,000 sq.
ft. was leased to one tenant. Annual
net absorption was 8,562 sq. ft.
Added to the survey is the 63,000
sq. ft. Brookdale Towers, previously a
single tenant property, which sold and is
nearly half leased as multi-tenant.

For the year ending second quarter
1996, the average quoted net rent rose
11.9% to $7.87 psf. And, after five
consecutive years of declining real estate
taxes, the average property tax increased
this year by 7.5% to $2.53 psf. Average
total expenses for the sector remained at
$6.59 psf.
WEST
For this very tight sub-market,
another year of strong positive
absorption totaling 126,568 sq. ft.
resulted in a record-low vacancy rate of
6.2%. The large Class B segment was
the leader with 36 of the 47 buildings
reporting equal or improved occupancy
as of second quarter 1996. The highest
absorption occurred in Interchange
Tower, Ridge Plaza, Willow Creek
Plaza and Westwood Lake Office Park.
The Class B segment experienced
substantial improvement in the past two
years, from a vacancy rate of 16.9% in
1994 to a present vacancy rate of 6.2%.
The Class A universe added 26,670
sq. ft. to the occupied base. The highest
absorption was reported in The Colonnade.
The current vacancy rate of 6.0% is a
considerable recovery from the 18.4%
reported three years ago.
With low vacancy rates, development
action has heated up in this sub-market.
The Galbreath Company began
construction on its 70,000 sq. ft.
12600 Whitewater Drive Class A-
quality building in Minnetonka.
More development plans abound in
the West sector. In Golden Valley,
Sherman Associates, Inc. is proposing
Valley Creek Office Pazk, a three phase,
105,000 sq. ft. project. Phase I is 44,000
sq. ft.
Opus Corporation plans to develop
a 25-acre of�ce campus with up to
500,000 sq. ft. of office space at the
northeast quadrant of I-394 and Hopkins
Crossroads. Carlson Real Estate is
planning to build Two Cazlson Pazkway,
which will consist of two Class A-quality
buildings of 80,000 sq. ft. each, across
from One Carlson Parkway in Plymouth.
And, MEPC continues to pre-lease a
proposed 12-story, 230,000 sq. ft. office
tower adjacent to the Travelers Express
Tower near Highway 100 and 394.
Class A net rental rates rose again
this year to an average quoted net rent of
$15.00 psf, up 12.5% for the year ending
second quarter 1996. Total operating

expenses rose by 4.5% to $10.05 psf, and
the average property taxes increased by
8.1 % to $4.67 psf.
Class B net rental rates jumped up
9.8% to $9.97 psf. Total operating
expenses and property taxes increased
3% to $7.52 psf and $2.53 psf
respectively.
SOUTHWEST
Despite extremely tight conditions,
the Southwest sector experienced
substantial absorption for fourth quarter
1996. Six-month absorption of
193,385 sq. ft. improved the vacancy rate
to 4.3%. This is the lowest of all sectors.
The Southwest sector is the metro
area leader in several other ways. For
the year ending second quarter 1996, it
was the net absorption leader, reporting
295,700 sq. ft. And, with 129 buildings,
it has more properties than any other
sector. Hazeltine Gates, in Chaska, was
recently added to our survey of multi-
tenant buildings.
The majority of absorption for
fourth quarter, 249,031 sq. ft., was in
Class B buildings. This lowered the
vacancy rate to 4.7%. The biggest
winners were NFC Center, Pentagon
Office Park, and Riverview Office
(formerly Appletree Square I).
Class A buildings took a slight step
backwards for fourth quarter. Negative
six-month absorption of 55,646 sq. ft.
raised the vacancy rate from 2.3% at the
end of second quarter to 3.6% by fourth
quarter 1996. The very tight Class A
segment has few space options with no
reported contiguous space of
25,000 sq. ft. or more available.
Rents have risen enough to support
new construction. The current range of
asking rents is $12 to $18. A 9.8%
increase brought the average quoted Class
A net rental rate up to $14.03 psf for the
' _w�-� . . �"'� . ' _ . .
year ending second quarter 1996. By
fourth quarter, it ticked up another 4.8%
to $14.70 psf.
New developments need $14.00-
$17.00 psf net to work in the Southwest
sector. Class B rents are also on the rise.
As of second quarter, a 6.1% increase
brought the average quoted net rental rate
to $9.74 psf. An additional7% increase
brought average rents to $10.42 psf by
fourth quarter 1996. -
The race to begin construction of
a new office building ended with the
recent ground breakings of two
properties. Opus Corp's 122,000 sq. ft.
Pondview Plaza will be ready for
occupancy in October 1997 in the Opus
2 Business Park in Minnetonka. And,
United Properties began construction
on the 130,000 sq. ft. �rst phase of
the Centennial Lakes project.
Much more development is
proposed. TOLD Development plans to
construct Meridian Crossing in
Richfeld. It will feature a six-story,
140,000 sq. ft. first phase and eight-
story,180,000 sq. ft. second phase. Ryan
Companies is in the preliminary planning
stage of the 175,000 sq. ft. phase II of
Wilson Ridge in Eden Prairie. BTO
Development announced plans for
Smetana Lake Office Plaza, a 130,000
sq. ft. project in Eden Prairie. Pinehurst
Properties plans to build a 4-story,
90,000 sq. ft. office project in Edina.
United Properties has proposed an
expansion of the Normandale Lake
Office Pazk on Highway 100 and 494.
ST. PAUL CBD
In a dramatic comeback performance
after years of hardship, the St. Paul CBD
emerged as an absorption leader (topped
only by the Southwest sector) for the year
ending second quarter 1996. Positive
annual net absorption of 276,680 sq. ft.
