Re: RFP for the Former Longworth Plating Site – RFP DDA-#1-2012


Alexander Pollock, in association with Kadushin Associates Architects Planners, Inc. (KA), J.C.
Beal Construction, Inc.(Beal) and The Chelsea Connection, LLC (TCC) are pleased to submit
this Response to RFP DDA-#1-2012 for the former Longworth Plating Site at 110 Jackson
Street, Chelsea, MI.


We have formed the 110 Longworth Building Development Company in order to undertake the
acquisition and adaptive re-use and redevelopment of this historic and significant site into a high
quality mixed-use landmark consisting of retail uses, residential lofts, specialty food services,
arts and crafts studios, and gallery.


A seasoned and formidable development team has been assembled to plan, program, develop,
design, construct, manage and operate the 110 Longworth Building. The completed development
will create another prominent destination for local and regional residents and patrons and help
connect the Clocktown with the Downtown Main Street district. Proposed occupants who have
committed to the project include the owners and operators of the Red Hawk Grill and
Revive+Replenish Café in Ann Arbor – Roger Hewitt and Richard Shubach of Ann Arbor, The
Art Pursuit of (Chelsea), a non-profit art center focusing on ceramics led by Kris Cravens and
Prudy Vannier, and an expansion of the adjacent Chelsea Farmers Supply business into a larger
aquaponic supply facility by H.K. Leonard.

Proposal Letter (continued)

Alexander Pollock has just retired after a 42-year career as one of the Chief Architects and City
Planners for the City of Detroit Planning & Development Department. He has been responsible
for the revitalization of the historic Eastern Market; development and funding of the Washington
Boulevard Trolley Line that operated for 25 years; the acquisition and private development of the
historic floating Landsdowne restaurant with Specialty Restaurants, as well as the design of
many other historic buildings and sites around the city, including the Grand Army of the
Republic (G.A.R.) Building, currently under renovation. He also brings a substantial collection
of Civil War-era brass instruments, antique bicycles, vintage Porsche and Ferrari race cars, and
historic trolley cars from the Detroit fleet. These would be part of the building décor and will
provide a unique museum-quality exhibit and attraction as part of the design. Alex has performed
around the world blowing his bugle while riding on his high wheel bicycle as a wheelman. As a
member of the Dodworth-Saxhorn Civil War Brass Band, he recorded historic baseball music for
the Ken Burns documentary “Baseball.” Alex is one of the world’s foremost historic
streetcar/trolley experts and has consulted on new vintage trolley projects in many cities
including Richmond, VA, Charlotte, NC, Chattanooga and Memphis, TN, and New Orleans, LA.


Abraham Kadushin has led his award-winning firm, Kadushin Associates Architects Planners,
Inc. since 1975 from its home base in Ann Arbor and branch office in Miami, FL. Projects
include a significant portfolio of major historic rehabilitation, affordable housing and community
design projects and mixed-use projects utilizing public and private partnerships and all forms of
federal, state and local financing mechanisms in southeast Michigan and Florida. The firm has
partnered with Alexander Pollock on design projects outside of the City of Detroit for over 30
years as Kadushin-Pollock Design, LLC.



J. C. Beal Construction, Inc. is a 3-generation family-owned company led by Fred Beal and has a
long history of historic renovation construction projects. Beal is currently well along in the most
difficult major $80 Million Broderick Tower Building on Grand Circus Park in downtown
Detroit overlooking Comerica Park. They have achieved 60% residential loft occupancy as the
renovation proceeds. A complex array of financing including the syndication and sale of historic
rehabilitation tax credits, private equity and debt financing, and public grant and loan incentive
programs was utilized in this important downtown mixed-use residential development. Both Fred
Beal and Roger Hewitt have served long terms as members of the Ann Arbor Downtown
Development Authority and so have a great deal of experience with the practical utilization of
the DDA mechanism. Kadushin & Beal have worked together on several projects, including the
The Amsterdammer Apartments on South University for Campus Rentals in Ann Arbor and a
proposal to the Detroit Housing Commission to redevelop the former Brewster-Douglas Public
Housing.

The entire development and design team is skilled and experienced with the understanding of the
entire range of available federal, state and local loan and grant programs, including historic
rehabilitation tax credits through the MI State Historic Preservation Office and the National Park
Service; opportunities available for promoting downtown economic development, historic Main
Street revitalization, and public street and infrastructure improvements.

Proposal Letter (continued)

Over the past several weeks, our team has conducted a series of inspections of the property and
has formulated a development approach that will be presented in this proposal. 110 Longworth
Building Development Company seeks exclusive site control in order to perform further due-
diligence, negotiate leases and achieve financing for the development of the project. We propose
a public-private partnership that will engage the City of Chelsea and its Downtown Development
Authority in order to achieve the highest and best utilization of the property and realize the
planning and redevelopment goals that have been established over the last several years.


Sincerely,

110 LONGWORTH BUILDING DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

2. PROPOSED CONCEPT PLANS

The 110 Longworth Building Development Company (110 Longworth) is pleased to respond to
the City of Chelsea’s call for a Request For Proposals to rehabilitate the Mack and Chelsea
House/Livery Buildings into a dynamic adaptive reuse to further enhance the growth of the city
of Chelsea. From an historical standpoint, few cities in Michigan could offer such an opportunity
to feature a variety of functions for family enjoyment.

Aerial View Looking South (unavailable for blogspot)

Starting with the Mack building, built during the 1880s, 110 Longworth suggests the
establishment of a mixed use function that would include the installation of a family styled
restaurant facing Main Street accompanied by loft housing on the second floor. Modest changes
to the building’s exterior would include the removal of the front segment for a landscaped plaza
to serve as the gateway into the restaurant along with large windows facing the Norfolk-Southern
Railroad and the Clock Tower. Other changes would include the removal of paint to expose the
original brick veneer color with new widows of the period. Of special importance to the
restaurant would be the installation of an historic early twentieth century American-built
streetcar representative of the early interurban era that served the city of Chelsea during the years
1900 through 1910. Later, the larger interurban streetcars came on the scene that carried freight
along with passengers. Wherever possible, interior furnishings found within the Mack Building
would be refinished and maintained.


View from Clock Tower (unavailable for blogspot)

The Chelsea House/Livery being substantially older than the Mack Building would receive
special attention to dramatize the horse livery operation during the mid 19th century. New
appropriately styled windows and doors of the period are to be fabricated and installed to return
the building’s exterior to the proper century. For children of all ages, the two windows serving
the second floor horse barn are to feature an animated experience when the Clock Tower strikes
the hour. Magically, two horses will project their heads out the window with one horse
whinnying while the other horse sticks his tongue out at the other horse.


2.A. Site Concept Plan

Site modifications are to include the removal of the rear portion of the building as covered
parking for residents of the loft housing. Interior functions of the Chelsea House/Livery barn are
to include a pottery manufacturing operation on the second floor, and the installation of an
aquaponic farming operation on the ground floor as part of an expanded Farmers Feed Store.
Additional first floor space will also be available for specialized boutiques

For safety reasons, a new six foot sidewalk and exterior lighting are to be installed alongside of
the Mack Building and the Chelsea House/Livery Building that faces Jackson Street.


2. B. Building Exterior Façade Renovation

. Outdoor plaza with landscaping and seating facing Main Street
. New cast stone perimeter similar to original wall to define plaza
. New industrial metal canopy with period lighting and building signage

Exterior Perspective Facing Main Street (unavailable for blogspot)

. New industrial metal awning, signage and period lighting

. New pedestrian sidewalk along Jackson Street
. Removal of unused overhead power wiring by utility company


2. C. PROPOSED SPACE USE/TENANT PROGRAM

designed to meet current building and safety codes. New restroom facilities are also provided for
patrons and employees.

Fred J. Beal – Development Expertise

As President at JC Beal Construction Inc., Fred J. Beal has led the firm in the construction and
development of a variety of commercial and residential product in Southeastern Michigan. The
firm has, as an owner or partner in the projects of its affiliates and clients, participated in the
redevelopment of numerous historic tax credit properties, but also has new office product
experience. Representative projects, and the firms role in each are described below.


Historic Equities Fund I LLC

JC Beal Construction Inc. under Fred J. Beal, has teamed up with Beal Properties led by Stewart
Beal, in the creation of Historic Equities Fund I, a Real Estate Investment Fund specializing in
the in the re-development of historic and traditionally undervalued properties located principally
in Southeastern Michigan. Historic Equities Fund I LLC (the Company) is in the process of
raising $2.5 Million dollars to invest in the purchase and re-development of a minimum of a $20
Million portfolio of properties, with the intent to provide to its investors a higher than average
rate of return.

The Company plans to achieve its objective of higher than average rates of return through a
combination of; increases in property value, rental income, the use of historic and/or other tax
credits, including strategies to “sell” credits to third parties, and other tax, property management,
and marketing strategies that enhance long term investor income and property value. The
Company’s affiliation with JC Beal Construction Inc. and Beal Properties LLC provide it with
special expertise in these areas that has the potential to both enhance value and reduce the risk
normally associated with re-development projects.

The fund has recently initiated its first project, the mixed use Thompson Block Re-
development in “Depot Town” in Ypsilanti Michigan.


The Broderick Tower Loft Conversion Project, Detroit


Fred J. Beal has recently been named President of the development entity MOTOWN
CONSTRUCTION PARTNERS LP. to lead this $ 40 Million re-development of a historic
landmark 34 story Downtown Detroit building. New partners have been secured to bolster the
financial situation of this 135-145 unit high rise loft project.

This project will combine brownfield’s SBT credits, historic tax credits, local DDA façade
improvement funds, and local façade grants and other funding sources that have been identified.
Design work is complete, and preliminary marketing is underway way toward an early 2007
construction start.

JC Beal Construction Inc. is currently under contract as Construction Managers for this project
but may, as an investor in the project, solicit General Contract bids and assume the role of
Owner’s Representative for the Construction Phase.

The Farwell Building and the Leland House Projects

These two buildings, owned by a group of partners that overlaps with the owners of Broderick
Tower Developer MOTOWN CONSTRUCTION PARTNERS LP will be re-developed in the
next 3 years in an arrangement similar to that being utilized for the Broderick Tower as
referenced above.

Olympia Development / Ilitch Holdings Projects

JC Beal Construction Inc. has a master Owner’s representative Agreement with Olympia
Development / Ilitch Holdings to support their efforts to re-develop several downtown Detroit
properties, starting with a complete restoration and adaptive re-use project at the Detroit Life
Building on Park Avenue. Other properties subject to the agreement are the Fine Arts Building
and an adjacent lot on Adams, the United Artist Building, the former Madison Lenox Hotel
site on Madison, and several others nearby.

The West Michigan Avenue Loft Apartments, Ypsilanti

This project combines 5 historic buildings in downtown Ypsilanti to house 20 loft apartments on
the upper floors and a variety of retail/restaurant tenants below. This project, recently
completed, features open floor plans, high ceilings, and true loft amenities in a unique downtown
setting.

The project was developed by JC Beal Construction Inc., led by Fred J. Beal, in conjunction with
Beal Properties, Maurer Management, and George Fotiadis in a unique project in which the 5
buildings share common elements to reduce the cost of development, even though they will
continue under separate ownerships.

The project utilized a combination of historic and brownfields tax credits, developer equity, and
bank loans to construct a financing package that allows the project to go forward even with the
expectation of low apartment rents. Ultimately however, all 20 units were leased prior to the
completion of construction, and historic tax credit funds released at closing repaid the investors
their original investment at that time.

Chene West Riverfront Development

Providing Owner’s Representative and Pre-development Services to Spingarn LLC, a Bing
Group affiliate, JC Beal Construction Inc. is helping to guide this fantastic 50-60 unit waterfront

condominium project through a complex City development agreement process, and then into
design and construction.

221 Felch Street, Ann Arbor

This 28,000 square foot complex of buildings located at 221 Felch Street on the Northwest side
of downtown Ann Arbor, was constructed haphazardly through the early part of this century.
Purchased in very poor condition in 1993 by Fred J. Beal and George Beal under the structure of
221 Ventures Inc., the complex has undergone a continuing series of improvements to enhance
its street presence and upgrade the office and shop space to serve a large group of primarily
artists and trade firm tenants.

The Aizer Building, Detroit

JC Beal Construction Inc. and Kraemer Design Group have teamed up to provide the Aizer
family of Yonkers New York with a full range of Development Services that will lead to the
conversion of this building on the prime corner at Woodward and Grand River in Detroit into a
mixed use project of retail/restaurant and residential uses. Façade renovation is completed and
primary construction project is expected to start in late 2006.

115 West Liberty, Ann Arbor

The former Riders Hobby Shop building, located at 115 West Liberty in Ann Arbor was
redeveloped in 2000 creating a modern retail environment to house Tabor Hill Winery on the
first floor, and business / residential lofts on the two floors above. This historic tax credit project
was developed by Fred J. Beal and JC Beal Construction Inc. in conjunction with Peter Allen &
David Kwan of Allen & Kwan Commercial.

150 South Fifth Avenue, Ann Arbor

This project blends the historic Weinmann Building at the corner of Fifth and Washington in
downtown Ann Arbor with a new office building attached to the North and facing Fifth Avenue,
to house the Blue Nile Restaurant, three high end residential condominiums and class A office
space. The project was developed by JC Beal Construction Inc. in conjunction with 221 Ventures
Inc. and Spoon Equities LLC. 221 Ventures, owned by Fred J. Beal and George Beal, have
recently become the sole owner of this property. A small amount of historic tax credits were
generated by the historic renovation portion of this project.

The Riley Court Apartments, Ypsilanti

This 30 unit apartment complex was purchased by Beal Properties LLC in the summer of 2004.
Immediately after purchasing the property, Beal Properties LLC contracted with JC Beal
Construction Inc. to make $100,000 of improvements to the exterior as well as miscellaneous
improvements to each apartment. Now fully occupied with qualified tenants, the building will be
held for the long term. JC Beal Construction Inc. is currently assisting Beal Properties LLC in an
evaluation of whether 30 additional apartments can be developed on the 5 acre site.
