6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Humboldt East Trade Center
PROJECT SUMMARY
Superior Location • Humboldt East Trade Center is strategically located in the heart of the I-78/I-81 Corridor in eastern Pennsylvania. The I-78/I-81 Corridor is
highly sought after by users and investors alike and has become one of the most important distribution hubs in North America due to its proximity to Northeast consumer markets, low operating costs and deep, affordable labor pool. In addition, our site represents the last remaining entitled land parcel in the Humboldt Industrial Park, which contains more than 14 million square feet of industrial product and benefits from high-profile tenants such as American Eagle Outfitters, Coca-Cola, and Amazon.com. The park boasts a vacancy of under 5% and has only one availability over 25,000 SF amongst the 65 existing buildings.
Strong Market Demand • Demand for Class A, institutional product in Eastern Pennsylvania has severely outpaced new supply over the last several years. Since 2009,
over 15 million square feet of vacancy has been absorbed as developers struggle to keep up with growing demand. Vacancy and availability rates have reached historic lows creating strong upward pressure on rents.
Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) • The site is located in a designated Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) which offers a myriad of economic advantages including a full
abatement of real estate taxes and exemption from Pennsylvania state sales tax on material purchased and consumed within the Zone. More detail about the KOZ advantage and savings can be found later in the text.
Best-in-Class Design • The project incorporates high performance design features such as efficient building depths, multiple ingress/egress options, abundant car
and trailer parking. The building can be easily sub-divided for maximum leasing flexibility and enjoy great visibility from Interstate 81 that must be experienced firsthand to be fully understood and appreciated. The project is also one of only a handful of proposed developments over 250,000 square feet in Eastern Pennsylvania that can provide rail service to perspective tenants.
Sponsorship Experience • Trammell Crow Company’s development team is highly capable with a proven track record of success developing industrial buildings in the
Northeast United States. TCC’s Northeast Regional business unit currently has over 10 million square feet of industrial projects in process.

8 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Humboldt East Trade Center
ADVANTAGES OF PAD READY SITE Shortened/Predictable Timeline • An existing speculative building has a large delivery/timing advantage over an unapproved development site. In general, it takes
5 months to design, permit, and fit-out a speculative warehouse for a prospective tenant. A fully designed and permitted building would take roughly 10 months to complete and would have greater variation in delivery time. By bringing our site to PAD ready condition, we can shave 3 months off that timeline and establish a more predictable construction schedule to help offset some of the timing advantage of a speculative building while maintaining flexibility to meet a tenant’s specific requirements.
Accurate Construction Costs • Many built-to-suit leases are signed based on a yield for the project. By bringing our site to PAD ready condition, we will eliminate
a large percentage of our contingency, which minimizes the risk of cost overruns for prospective tenants and allows us to be fairly aggressive on pricing/rents.
Marketability • An undeveloped site can be very difficult to market due to the timing/uncertainty of construction. Not only that, it is tough for a
tenant to envision his/her building on a site, which can make a built-to-suit project hard to sell. By completing most of the site work now, we minimize these challenges. Additionally, our site is located directly adjacent to I-81. The site work to create the building pad will generate much more interest than an undeveloped site for passersby.
Retained/Created Value • One of the most important features of a PAD ready site is the value that is created. The next page details two PAD ready sites that
were purchased in the second half of 2014. The selling price of these assets demonstrates that money invested in unimproved sites is easily retained and actually creates value in the parcel.
9 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Humboldt East Trade Center
• DCT Industrial will purchase the site after upon reaching PAD ready condition.

15 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Humboldt East Trade Center
BUILDING SPECIFICATIONS
Our site is located within the Humboldt Industrial Park (HIP) in Hazle Township, PA. The park consists of 3,000 acres, 65 buildings, and
over 14 million square feet of leased or owner-occupied industrial space. Over 50 industries and nearly 7,000 employees utilize the
park on a day-to-day basis.
With great access to I-81 and I-80, tenants can reach every major northeast city within a 5 ½ hour drive. The park is also characterized
by its great amenities, friendly/pro-business environment, and high-profile tenant base. It’s no surprise that HIP has enjoy a strong,
long-term tenant occupancy. In fact, over the last 20 years, the vacancy rate has never risen above 10% within the park.
Today, Humboldt East Trade Center represents the only fully entitled land parcel in the park. With current vacancy at roughly 4.2% and
one available building over 25,000 square feet, it is only a matter of time before a new requirement is needed.

Realizing the important role tax incentives play when competing for job creation projects,
Pennsylvania, in partnership with the local taxing bodies and economic development agencies, has
created an innovative tax abatement program; the Keystone Opportunity Zone.
This table demonstrates some of the tax savings available for occupiers and/or owners at Humboldt East Trade Center.
The Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) Program represents one of the boldest economic development incentives in the nation
because it empowers local communities and has fostered unique state/local and public/private partnerships to authorize the
abatement of most state and local taxes for a designated period of time. Over the past 13 years, the program has spurred the
creation of more than 34,000 jobs and about $10.7 billion in business development.
Humboldt East Trade Center is located within a designated KOZ, offering a moratorium on most local and state taxes through
December 31, 2017. Some of the state and local taxes subject to exemption in KOZs include:
o Local property taxes
o State sales tax (6% in PA) on taxable property or services
that are used and consumed by the business in the zone.
o Local business privilege or mercantile taxes
o Pennsylvania’s Corporate Net Income Tax
o Pennsylvania’s Capital Stock & Franchise Tax

Eastern Pennsylvania or, I-78/I-81 Corridor, is the most active and fastest growing location in the Northeastern United States for warehousing,
repackaging and distributing manufactured goods. The I-78/I-81 Corridor encompasses several critical logistics markets including the Lehigh Valley (Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton), Central PA (Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, Carlisle, York and Chambersburg), and Northeast PA (Scranton, Wilkes-
Barre and Hazleton) where our project is located. These three markets combine for over 7,000 buildings and nearly 500 million square feet of industrial space. The critical importance of the I-78/I-81 submarket is its unique ability to link logistics infrastructure to major population centers, which has
catalyzed the relocation and/or expansion of some of the largest and most prominent corporations and logistics companies in the world to this corridor.
Some of the location benefits of the I-78/I-81 Corridor, which have contributed to this robust growth, including its exceptional leasing and build-to-suit
activity include:
• Over 40% of the nation's population lives within a 600-miles radius of the I-78/I-81 Corridor Industrial Market, which links Humboldt East Trade
Center with over 130 million people.
• There’s a distinct and quantifiable benefit in operating costs compared to competing markets such as Central New Jersey (Exits 7A-8A), Northern NJ
and the I-95 Corridor from Philadelphia through Washington DC. Northeast PA has led the way in this regard given its extremely pro-business culture, logistics infrastructure, and cost-competitive labor.
• Proximity to, and investment in, critical transportation infrastructure including highways, seaports, rail intermodals, and air cargo has helped the I-78/I-81 Corridor grow rapidly
An obvious key to the I-78/I-81 Corridor’s preeminence as a regional distribution market is its proximity to large Northeast consumer markets.
Within a 400 miles radius is a population of over 82 million people, by far, the largest concentration around any major distribution hub in the country. The 400 miles radius is a meaningful distinction as it is typically considered to be the maximum distance serviceable by an over-the-road
vehicle in a single day, given federally mandated daily driving limits.

2014 was a very fruitful year for developers in the Eastern Pennsylvania market. There were 10 B-T-S projects over 200,000 square feet
constructed between the Lehigh Valley, Central PA, and Northeast PA markets totaling nearly 8 million feet. This more than tripled the
amount of product delivered in 2013. Speculative development generated strong returns with three major projects signing significant
leases within months of building delivery. Additionally, two speculative projects constructed 2012 and 2013 signed full tenant users.

2015 I-81/78 CORRIDOR SPECULATIVE DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE
The development pipeline for 2015 remains very strong.
With vacancy at historic lows and rents on the rise,
developers are gearing up for a new wave of speculative
development. However, very few of these projects will be
able to deliver before Q4 2015 leaving an 8-10 month
period of pent-up demand. It would not be surprising for
many of these buildings to pre-lease to tenants who cannot
find anything in the current market. While there is a lot of
speculative development on the way, most agree it is
necessary to keep up with the current pace of demand.
Unlike the Lehigh Valley and Central PA, the landowner
and developers in Northeast PA tend to focus more on
built-to-suit projects versus speculative construction.
However, with our location in an established park and
limited availability of modern bulk product, a speculative
development should be considered. While we are
anticipating the delivery of 17 projects in 2015, none have
rail-serve capabilities. Having that unique feature could set
our project apart from the rest.

As we stated before, the current leasing market in Eastern PA is very
tight. Between the three submarkets we’ve discussed, there are 152
buildings over 400,000 square built after 1995. As of today, only 4 of
those remain unoccupied. Over the next 8-10 months, prospective
tenants searching for Class A warehouse space will have extremely
limited options. We anticipate only three developments over 400,000
square feet can deliver in the first half of 2015. Because of this, recent
transactions have pushed not only cyclical, but historical highs. In the
Lehigh Valley, rents have moved from the $4.40-$4.60 to near $5.00.
We expect rents in Central PA and Northeast PA, which tend to transact
at a slight discount to the Lehigh Valley—$4.00-$4.25—to follow suit.
2014 leasing was highlighted by the speculative lease ups of new
modern product. In Central PA, Amazon signed a 10-year lease at
$4.75/sf and Federal Mogul signed a 10-year lease at $4.16/sf
towards the beginning of the year. In the Lehigh Valley, Liberty Property
Trust closed a full building pre-lease to Zulily for 7 years at $4.65/sf,
TCC/Clarion signed a 10 year full building deal with European retailer
Primark at $4.85/sf, and Griffin Land leased 66% of their 300,000
square foot building to NFI for $4.85/sf.
For our project in Northeast PA, we’ve conservatively underwritten the
deal at $4.25/sf, not relying on the new market increase.
32 MARKET OVERVIEW Humboldt East Trade Center
NORTHEAST PA MAP Northeast PA is broken into 3 main submarkets: Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, and Blakeslee. The majority of development in 2014 was in
Hazelton and specifically the Humboldt Industrial Park with the completion of American Eagle and Tech-Packaging’s B-T-S projects.

35 MARKET OVERVIEW Humboldt East Trade Center
As stated before, the development pipeline for the Northeast consists of mainly B-T-S developers and owners who do not have the desire or
location to undertake speculative development. While many of these projects have approvals, none are expected to deliver in 2015 and only
one has rail-serve capability. Every site is either apart of the LERTA program—Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance—or KOZ program—
Keystone Opportunity Zone to help offset the costs to developers and tenants.
We believe having the ability to go speculative is a competitive advantage. With the limited number of modern bulk products available in the
Northeast there is a realistic possibility that by the time we commence site work in the spring, Humboldt East could be the only modern bulk
building available in the Northeast submarket.

There were several notable leases in 2014 highlighted by the renewals of the Men’s Warehouse and Kimberly Clark. The tenants resigned to stay in
these ‘07-’08 vintage buildings at rents above our assumptions for Humboldt East Trade Center. The signings represent the relationship between the
Lehigh Valley and Northeast PA and show that when rents rise in the Lehigh Valley, Northeast PA adjusts upwards as well.

IMPORTANCE OF RAIL-SERVED SITES
The leasing market for rail-served buildings has tightened
considerably as well. There is currently no product for tenants in
search of a rail-served facility over 365,000 square feet with a limited
number in the development pipeline.
The importance of having a rail-serve site moving forward cannot be
underestimated. While the industrial market has continued to expand
post-recession, one structural component that hasn’t expanded is the
availability of truckers. The American Trucking Association reports that
the industry currently has 35,000 fewer drivers than it needs and
expects the number to grow to 240,000 drivers by 2020. The industry
has responded by dramatically increasing wages, which has pushed
freight rates per mile up 8% for the year, with forward rates up an
additional 14% by 2016. According to CBRE Supply Chain Services,
transportation makes up at least 50% of costs in the total supply
chain.
Costs in the Total Supply Chain
The obvious supplement and cost effective solution is rail. The Association of American Railroads has reported a 6.7% traffic increase year over year
and the week ending with October 25th registered the third-highest level of intermodal use in US History. Each of the secondary distribution markets
expected to grow most quickly in the next 12 months contains a significant intermodal facility and many are investing heavily in their rail
infrastructure. Moving forward there is a significant transportation risk for logistics providers due to the shortage of truck drivers. Having a warehouse
with access to rail can offset this risk.

While we can justify speculative construction with the assumptions listed on the previous page, currently we feel the most appropriate option is to
find a tenant before commencing construction of the building. We estimate it will take 2 years to find a tenant and when we account for increased
construction costs, a lower rental rate, and accrued interest from the land loan, we still feel this project will be successful.
