EXCLUSIVE MARKET WITH STRONG BARRIERS TO ENTRY

Binswanger, Realty Advisory Group, Inc. and Kidder Mathews (“BRK”) have been engaged by United Technologies Corporation (“UTC” or “ownership”) to generate investor interest in the highest profile development opportunity in the City of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is one of the most desirable and supply-constrained real estate markets in the United States, due to the scarcity of developable sites as well as political, zoning and entitlement constraints for new projects. Uptown at Warner Center (the “Property”) is a one-of-a-kind development opportunity consisting of nearly 47 acres located in the mature market of Warner Center in the San Fernando Valley, surrounded by the third largest shopping center in the United States, numerous high profile office projects, and residential developments. The development will produce a state of the art “Live/Work/Play” environment that will be a walkable community featuring a combination of residential and commercial uses including retail, office, hotel, research & development, assisted living and community center space surrounding a 5 acre open park. It will be the San Fernando Valley’s most desirable, sustainable destination with expedient access to every convenience including numerous shopping, dining, and public transportation options. The San Fernando Valley consists of approximately 260 square miles making it the largest geographic component of the City of Los Angeles. With approximately 1.8 million residents, it is a densely populated area, that as a standalone city, would be the seventh largest city in the United States.

The Property is located directly across the street from Westfield’s approximate 1.6 million square foot Topanga Mall, a block from its 550,00 square foot “The Village at Topanga” and two blocks from Westfield’s 615,000 square foot Promenade Mall, all of which front Topanga Canyon Boulevard. The three combined total approximately 2.7 million square feet of retail space, collectively the 3rd largest regional shopping center in the U.S. and the largest shopping center in California. The Westfield Topanga Mall is home to over 260 retailers and anchored by high profile department stores like Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. Included in the shopping center is a brand new Costco, a Target, dozens of world-class retailers like Gucci, Burberry, Tesla, Apple, Tiffany & Co., Prada, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, and numerous casual and fine dining options. Completed in the Fall of 2015, “The Village at Topanga” showcases trendy local fashion and lifestyle brands, sensational restaurants offering al fresco patio dining, a full-service gym, spa and yoga studio, along with a weekly farmer’s market, all under a canopy of native trees and vegetation. The overall Westfield project receives in excess of 13 million visitors per year.

The Warner Center market also boasts a diverse and robust office market attracting prominent corporations in media and entertainment, insurance, healthcare, technology, defense and finance. Significant companies that have a large presence in the Warner Center market include: Universal Music Group, Northrop Grumman, Procter & Gamble, Farmers Insurance, Anthem Blue Cross, Kaiser Permanente, AIG, Health Net, ADP, Panavision, and Morgan Stanley. These companies, among others, are major job generators for the entire City of Los Angeles.

Warner Center 2035 Plan

With a very supportive local government and resident base, there is a strong effort to promote Warner Center as a rapidly growing Transit Oriented Development (TOD). As a result, it has approved the Warner Center 2035 Specific Plan (“WC 2035 Plan”), a blueprint with the goal to enhance the district with high-density, pedestrian-friendly, TODs nurturing a “Live/Work/Play” environment for all those living, working and visiting the area. The permissible floor area ratio (FAR) is 4.5 and there are no height restrictions. Given the well above average household income levels, direct access to public transportation, and a densely populated area, there are a number of compelling reasons to participate in such a vision.

The offered Property is specific to the “Uptown” area of the WC 2035 Plan. Please click on the link to the right and note the “Uptown” portion of the WC 2035 Plan is found in Section 6.1.2.8 (page 56).

The WC 2035 Plan is generally bound by the Los Angeles River to the north, the Ventura Freeway to the south, De Soto Avenue to the east, and to the west Topanga Canyon Boulevard, an area of approximately 1,100 acres or 1.7 square miles.

UTC, along with BGI Development and HOK Architects, has developed a proposed master plan for the Property, which comprises approximately 6.035 million square feet of mixed use floor area development.
