Urban Resorts Development, L.P., is committed to a new concept
in placemaking that will forever change the way residents, visitors
and businesses in major metropolitan centers view life’s possibilities
surrounding them. The vision is a bold and powerful one — to blend
what is best about upscale multi-use developments in creating a new,
world-class paradigm in development — the urban resort.
◆ At a total of two million square feet,
the concept is designed to exceed
expectations with luxury accommodations,
residences and offices at the heart of
each planned project. Market-driven
amenities including a private club,
luxury spa, entertainment and meeting
facilities, vacation ownership options as
well as fine dining and retail offerings
will be woven in, as appropriate, to
complement the whole.
◆ While many of these are elements seen
in combination before, it is the synergy
among the elements, the interaction of
a variety of spaces within a stimulating
environment and, ultimately, a level
of service stemming from key strategic
partnering that will create long-term
market impact and interest in a given
development and its surrounding
neighborhood.
◆ This appeal will be used to launch
multiple projects in some of the most
affluent, dynamic cities in the world.
The first will be in Houston, with others
under consideration including Miami,
Atlanta, Boston, San Diego, London
and Berlin. Each is destined to become
the new urban icon in its chosen place.

The timeline below represents projected key dates for the development in the Houston market. Design and permitting will
continue through early next year with construction expected to begin in spring 2003. The unique and simultaneous phasing
of this project allows accelerated early revenue streams on completed components, while others are still under construction.
For instance, lower office and retail units within the south tower will be open for occupancy prior to the 2004 holiday season,
while hotel and condominium units in the north tower are expected to be complete first quarter 2005. The overall completion
date for the entire project is projected for March 2005.

In order to express the true opportunity and value of investing in this new concept in upscale multi-
use development, Urban Resorts has developed a full-scale financial model based on solid assessments as to
the future costs and revenues when the project is implemented, sold and/or operated.
Below is a summary of the financial model prepared for this unique development including the
projections for the estimated development costs and 10-year revenue stream. Based on a conservative debt
leverage of only 50-60 percent, the project’s return on investment is expected to be in excess of 25 percent.

Luxury Partners, LLC, has selected Houston, the fourth largest
city in the United States and one of the fastest growing in the nation,
to introduce its first urban resort development concept to the world.
Long known as the oil and gas capital of the world,
Houston has grown to become economically diverse over the last
decade. Industries such as biomedical services and research, aerospace
technology, international trade services, insurance and financial services
as well as information technology have contributed almost 90 percent
of the city’s job growth since 1989 and now account for more than
half of the city’s total employment. This economic diversity, along
with the continuing expansion and upgrades of transportation systems
and infrastructure bodes well for Houston’s future.
Houston is a city of promise. More importantly, it is a city
with a history of delivering on that promise through continuous efforts
by public and private institutions to attract new businesses, celebrate
cultural and economic diversity and offer a quality of life that is
unobtainable in most other metropolitan markets. It is an ideal setting
for a revolutionary new concept in urban development.

sophistication and international prominence in the heart of Houston.
Anchored by the beautifully-appointed Post Oak Boulevard, it is the
home of a thriving business district, acclaimed retail activity including
The Galleria, many of Houston’s finest hotels and restaurants and the
most prominent residential neighborhoods.
Uptown Houston is located five miles from the central
business district and within a 15-minute drive to the city’s major
employment centers, the Texas Medical Center as well as tourist and
arts attractions and centers of higher education. Comparable in feel
to New York’s Fifth Avenue or Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, it is an
urban area that creates its own energy and will provide the ideal
setting for this new concept in placemaking.

RivaPlace will raise the standards in urban living. The serenity and life that water provides
binds the public areas into a refreshing, exciting place to gather in Houston. RivaPlace is the city’s new
address for style, business and leisure. From its luxury condominiums, vibrant shops, restaurants, and
entertainment to its premier City Club, RivaPlace creates a new standard for living smart and living well.
In the middle of things certainly, but quietly removed. At RivaPlace, an exquisitely appointed hotel
combined with boutique office space creates an entirely new way to envision life, work and play in
balance, in the center of Uptown Houston, one of the world’s great urban settings.

As conceived by The Jerde Partnership, RivaPlace will make
a bold statement of its own yet complement the world-class architecture
that defines Houston. It will transform Post Oak Boulevard from a
predominantly vehicular street into an entertainment and cultural
catalyst, thereby becoming the centerpiece for the entire neighborhood.
By blending classical design in a warm palate of colors
with the contemporary, clean look that Uptown Houston is known for,
RivaPlace will be marked by an air of casual sophistication and an
undeniable sense of place. Twin cast stone and glass towers, one
the hotel and the other condominiums, will pierce the sky and be
fastened at the street level by an inclined, semi-circular one way
avenue, Crescent Drive, onto which upscale shops, restaurants and
entertainment venues will face.
The tilting plane of the thoroughfare offers a dynamic visual
experience, allowing for varied pedestrian and vehicular entrances,
fountains and landscaping, and below-ground parking as well as
a central courtyard. The change in elevation also affords the hotel’s
porte cochere to become the centerpiece of the project. A covered
arcade will reinforce the arc of the entry drive and add elegance to
the entire complex. Buildings of various types and heights, trellises,
signage and graphics will further stimulate the functionality, as well
as the form, of this memorable city within a city.

Uptown Houston boasts one of the most significant appreciations in home values in Houston, driven by
increasing demand for homes close to major employment centers and retail amenities. This trend, especially
among high-rise properties, is on the upswing, with several new residential projects currently underway in
the neighborhood.
According to American Metro/Study Corporation, RivaPlace will benefit from these planned luxury
residences. In fact, the development could sustain:
◆ Sales pricing of $350 to $475 per square foot, with units ranging from 2,400 to 3,600 square feet;
◆ Penthouse unit sales of $500 to $550 per square foot; and
◆ Annual absorption rates of 50 to 60 units.

In a city that attracts more than 37 million visitors annually, exclusive
hotels, surprisingly, are at a premium. Many of those rooms, are located
in Uptown. However, lack of available land makes it highly unlikely that
many new hotels will be built in the neighborhood.
It is expected that the hotel at RivaPlace will be successful
in capturing existing demand from current competitors and creating
new demand. Under the Rosewood’s strong management, a stabilized
occupancy of 71 percent is projected for 2006. The hotel is projected to
obtain an average daily rate of $371 in its second year of operation.
In keeping with the Rosewood tradition, the hotel will become
internationally acclaimed for its superior service and distinctive design.
Featuring exquisite furnishings and fixtures in 175 oversized rooms,
including 53 suites, the upper levels will contain approximately 100
condominium units, all of which, along with those in the adjacent
tower, are for sale.
Guest rooms will cater to high-end corporate guests and
weekend leisure travelers with a full array of amenities and personalized
services. To continue Rosewood’s legacy of fine dining, a 135-seat
restaurant will undoubtedly rank among Texas’ finest. In-room dining
and catering will be available 24 hours a day.

Club membership is key to the overall marketing initiative and success
of RivaPlace as a whole. As a vital component, it will allow members
of one city location to use the facilities and services in all other cities in
which the club is represented.
Modeled after Rosewood’s venerable Crescent Club in Dallas,
The City Club will be reminiscent of the renowned, private clubs of 19th
century Europe and will be viewed as the best club in the city and region
it serves. Members and guests will enjoy the finest privileges, dining
and meeting facilities, amenities and unprecedented service within the
surroundings of exotic woods, handcarved marble and stone, as well as
subtle lighting, fresh flowers and delicate linens.
Complete state-of-the-art health and fitness equipment and
training will be available. An indoor swimming pool, steam and sauna
facilities for men and women, a running track and recreational facilities,
such as indoor tennis, squash, racquetball and basketball courts, will be
available on premises.
With an expected membership of approximately 500-1000
affluent individuals and families, use of all facilities will be restricted
to members and, under certain circumstances, to hotel guests and tenants
of the complex. An initiation fee will be charged and membership will be
incumbent upon payment of annual dues.

Known as an international center for commerce, Houston has the fourth largest
business district in the U.S. and was recently ranked nationally as the city with
the second highest number of Fortune 500 companies. Therefore, Houston sets
the stage for continued economic growth and as an ideal place to locate an office.
Geared to cater to key decision makers, board members and Fortune
100 companies, the boutique offices at the RivaPlace will provide the privacy,
security, comfort, elegance and convenience that its tenants desire. In addition,
the unique combination of residential condominiums, offices and retail options
will make working and living at RivaPlace convenient and desirable to many.
It will encompass a total of approximately 65,000 square feet of office space at
an average of about $50 per square foot. The tower will host anywhere from
15 to 35 units with office space ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 square feet.
All facilities will feature access to technologically advanced services, as
well as being armed with the highest security and safety applications available.
Tenants and employees will have access to the executive business and meeting
center and the nearby parking facility as well as valet parking services. RivaPlace’s
highly professional management staff will always emphasize a strong concern for
and commitment to the happiness and security of its tenants.
Located along one of Houston’s most celebrated streets, Post Oak
Boulevard, the offices at RivaPlace will be considered “the place to be” because
of its close proximity to hundreds of shopping, dining and hotel destinations.
In addition, its unique central location will provide convenient access for clients
and business travelers to major freeways, other business centers and both of
Houston’s major airports.

In addition to a fully equipped business center within the hotel itself, fifteen of
its rooms will be executive suites and meeting rooms specially designed to meet
the needs of international business travelers and key decision makers. Each
room will be oversized with proper lighting and acoustics and feature a small
office-like area with a fax machine, computer, Internet service and phone
system. With a built-in meeting room and the latest in technological and audio
visual capabilities, it will serve as a self-contained learning and meeting
environment for the executive and his/her counterparts that is private, highly
secure, quiet, comfortable and elegantly appointed.
The hotel also will feature approximately 10,000 square feet of
additional meeting space with a 2,700-square-foot executive meeting area for
larger, private gatherings of 30 to 50 people. While smaller in scale than what
is currently available in the market, the configuration of executive business
suites and meeting rooms will be specified by market demand and staffed by
the highest-quality personnel available.

With an international mix of sophistication, style and elegance, Uptown
Houston is a world-renowned center for retail. Its success as a shopper’s
fashion paradise is attributed not only to the high quality and diversity
of its retail mix but also to the spending power of its visitors. RivaPlace
will reinforce this legacy with the addition of upscale boutiques, spanning
more than 60,000 square feet. Based on the commitments of various
internationally recognized retailers, RivaPlace’s marketplace will feature
retailers such as Hermes, Chanel, Prada, Cartier and Gianni Versace.
Each retail store within the complex will be built to purpose

In a city well known for its great love of food and its broad array of exquisite and
original dining options, a strong focal point of RivaPlace will be food – whether it
is an upscale restaurant within the open marketplace or Rosewood’s 135-seat fine
dining establishment.
To create a truly unique sense of place and reinforce the importance of
the finest cuisine, Urban Resorts, in partnership with Rosewood Hotels and
Resorts and a world-renowned culinary learning institution, will set the standard
for higher-end food in Houston with the development of the Culinary Arts Center.
Food enthusiasts and students looking to advance their skills will travel
from all over the world just for the weekend or for a longer, more intense session
to learn the art of fine dining as well as how to prepare the finest cuisine, taught
by signature, nationally renowned chef instructors. The center also will be known
for cultivating new talent within the culinary arts by hiring top students graduating
from other established institutions and providing them with opportunities within
RivaPlace to share and flourish their talents.
The 5,000-square-foot center will be designed to meet the needs of its
students and chefs with five to 10 private dining studios. Each studio will include
a kitchen with leading-edge technology and an adjacent dining area/classroom.
The center’s programs will be based on a hands-on approach to experiencing and
learning the culinary arts.
The high standards set forth by the Culinary Arts Center will carry
through to all of the other aspects of RivaPlace, making it a haven for the very
best in food and dining in the region.
