FORMALIZED DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS 
Sponsors

The team at our affiliated broker-dealer, RM Securities, conducts diligence on of the issuer, including detailed background checks, criminal checks, bad actor checks, and reference checks on sponsors. In addition to screening for any criminal background, we may also turn down sponsors due to poor reference checks, even if the background and criminal checks are satisfactory.

Escrow accounts

We require unaffiliated sponsors to use an unaffiliated third-party escrow agent.* When an investor makes an investment with such sponsors using the RealtyMogul platform, the investor’s money is transferred directly into a third-party escrow account. All closing conditions in connection with a sponsor’s contingency offering need to be met before the third-party escrow agent will approve releasing investor funds to the issuer or general partner. For example, if an issuer or general partner plans to use funds for a real estate acquisition that does not ultimately transact, the third-party escrow agent will not transfer investor funds to the issuer or general partner, and funds will be returned to investors.

Unless otherwise disclosed, escrow accounts are not required for some investments that accommodate 1031 investments where the property is already acquired.

Boots on the ground

Our processes typically includes visiting certain properties (or a subset of properties if it's a fund) to confirm the real estate is what and where the real estate is supposed to be. For certain properties that accommodate 1031 exchange investments, the team will review third-party prepared due diligence reports in lieu of a site visit.

Detailed Checklists

We have formalized processes and checklists for every private placement deal listed on the platform.

Investment Returns: Discerning investors don't rely on a single projected return metric as a basis to invest. Rather, when assessing a potential investment, we encourage you to evaluate all information provided by a sponsor including the business plan, assumptions, and risk factors which can be found in the relevant offering documents. This approach is consistent with our requirements as a broker-dealer, which prohibit us from communicating projected returns.

Overview
2300 Ninth Street South is a to-be-renovated, boutique office asset located in the desirable Columbia Pike neighborhood of Arlington, VA.
Location

The Property is proximate to Amazon's HQ2 at National Landing, where construction is underway on the first phase, a 2.1mm SF complex expected to open in 2023. Columbia Pike is expected to be a major beneficiary of Amazon HQ2 at National Landing, and the Property is only 1.5 miles away from the site. Sponsorship plans to capitalize on the proximity by offering a similarly amenitized office building at discounted rents to those in Crystal City near the Amazon HQ2 site. Boeing also announced that it will be relocating its headquarters from Chicago to Arlington. In addition to its headquarters, Boeing plans to develop a research and technology center. Boeing cited the access to world-class engineering and technical talent as a reason for their move. Raytheon also recently announced that it will relocate its global headquarters from Massachusetts to Arlington in 3Q22.  Raytheon is the second-largest defense company in the world after Lockheed Martin.

Market

The Sponsor believes that 2300 Ninth will offer best-in-class amenities in an excellent neighborhood location, with a higher-than-average parking ratio of 2.4 spaces per 1,000 SF, while also offering a rent discount to comparable properties in Crystal City and the Rosslyn-Ballston (RB) Corridor. Average A /B rents in Crystal City and the RB Corridor are now averaging $44 PSF and $53 PSF, respectively, according to Compstak and Costar. New leases at the Property are underwritten at an average of $40.79 PSF. 

Basis

The Property will be completely gut-renovated and is expected to be built to a standard that current tenants in the market are seeking. Sponsor intends to deliver a LEED-Silver, Fitwel, amenitized office building in the desirable Columbia Pike neighborhood at a basis that is projected to be well below replacement cost. The total Project budget of $34.4mm ($500/SF) is below the replacement cost of approximately $900 PSF for high-rise concrete and steel construction in Arlington County. 

Property at a glance
Year Built 1970
Gross Building Area 68,786 SF
NRSF 68,156 SF
Projected Occupancy (includes MTM leases) 32.2%
Target Stabilized Return on Cost 6.9%
Price ($6.5mm) + Costs Spent to Date $8,182,317
Investment Highlights
The location in the Columbia Pike neighborhood provides proximity to the decision-makers living in McLean and Vienna, VA. This location is a 10-minute drive to much of the executive housing in Northern Virginia and is inside the Beltway.
Sponsor expects to provide a newly renovated building with best-in-class amenities including a large conference room, exterior tenant plaza, bike storage, and lockers/showers. Additionally, the building will have a brand new VRF system providing energy efficiencies, and is expected to be LEED-Silver and Fitwel certified. The Property also has a higher than average parking ratio of 2.4 per 1,000 SF versus a typical Crystal City average of 2.0/1,000 SF, which is beneficial post-COVID. In addition, the Property will offer covered parking.
The Property is proximate to Boeing’s and Raytheon’s new headquarters, as they are both relocating from out of state largely driven by the world-class engineering and technical talent in the area. Additionally, Virginia Tech is building a $1B Innovation Campus to catalyze a new generation of advanced computing degrees.
The Property allows for smaller suite sizes given the floor plates of 10,000 SF on average, which is rare in this market. This coupled with the spec suite buildout during the renovation should allow for a quick lease-up of these spaces. Additionally, the smaller floor plates provide the potential for smaller tenants to lease an entire floor, a rare opportunity in this market.
The Property boasts views of the iconic D.C. monuments, RB Corridor, and National Landing. Additionally, the location has a walk score of 94 with multiple amenities such as coffee shops, dining options, fitness studios, grocery stores, and entertainment venues within walking distance of the Property.
There is a lack of speculative office construction in Northern Virginia and availability of entitled office land inside the Beltway. There is no development in the pipeline for the Columbia Pike Corridor, and only three spec buildings under construction in Northern Virginia.
Total Project budget of $34.4mm is inclusive of $8.9mm in acquisition costs, $22.7mm in construction costs and TI/LCs, and $2.9mm in carry/financing costs. Sponsor believes that the projected stabilized return on cost of 6.9% is healthy relative to the 5.75% exit cap rate. Additionally, the projected total budget is well inside of replacement cost (~$900 PSF) for this type of product in Arlington County.
*Sponsor is projecting a 16.1% IRR and a 1.56x equity multiple net of all fees and carried interest payments to Sponsor. Net of the Administration Solution Fee to RealtyMogul, and assuming a $50,000 commitment, Sponsor is projecting a 15.2% IRR and 1.53x equity multiple to investors.

The Pearlmark and BoundTrain Principals bios and Pearlmark recent equity transactions were provided by Sponsor and have not been verified by RealtyMogul.

BoundTrain purchased the Property in July of 2020 and has spent time advancing the design and business plan enabling the Project to start construction and leasing within the next few months. Pearlmark and BoundTrain, collectively as Sponsor, plan to renovate and amenitize the Property, rebrand, and cater to local, private sector tenants who appreciate the quality and service but have limited options at a reasonable rent for this type of space.  

Sponsor plans to complete a full gut renovation down to steel/concrete on each floor with spec suites on floors three through seven, upgrades to the building façade, new mechanical, electrical, storefront/entrance, main lobby, exterior plaza, common areas, shared conference room, restrooms, elevator cabs, and deliver new technology updates and security enhancements.

Sponsor plans to first spec suite the entire third floor to allow for expedited lease-up and cater to the small tenants in the market who like to move quickly when leasing space. Upon completion of the third floor spec suites, Sponsor will continue to spec suite floors 4 through 7. Immediately following the completion of the build-out, Sponsor will bring the Property to stabilization, and ultimately exit the investment.

Performance Care Clinics (a physical therapy provider) leased 1,903 SF of the first floor retail space to take occupancy upon delivery of improvements.  Additionally, LEDC, an in-place tenant has signed an LOI for a 440 SF spec suite on the third floor. Sponsor is nearing the final stages of lease negotiations with a leading national residential realtor to take a total of 7,355 SF. This will bring the Property to 32.2% leased including the in-place month-to-month (MTM) tenants. 

Anchor Tenant Overview

Performance Care Clinics is a physical therapy group with locations in Northern Virginia and Tampa, FL. They provide 1 on 1 physical therapy as well as sports performance and personal training.  

Part of the first and all of the second floor is expected to be occupied by an office of one of the leading national residential realtors, with the intent for 2300 Ninth to be their main South Arlington, VA office. The tenant plans to use TI dollars as well as invest further into the space and hopes to install a stairway to connect the first and second floors to create a cohesive environment. 

The building has received initial interest from tenants in the following industries:

  • Government Contractors attracted to close proximity with quick access to the Pentagon and greater D.C. Government agencies
  • Business Services firms attracted to large, nearby multi/single-family housing markets in need of their services
  • Tech firms attracted to being near Amazon HQ2 coupled with the variety of housing mix for their employees 
Active Tenant Pursuits Touring Market:
  • Association – 7,000 SF
  • Non-Profit – 10,000 SF
  • Law Firm – 5,000 SF
  • Government Contractors – multiple requirements from 2,500 SF to 25,000 SF
  • Cyber Security Firm – 3,500 SF
  • Clean Medical – 10,000 SF 
Leasing Opportunity:
  • Sponsor is tracking 427 leases with expirations through 12/2023 and which currently occupy space in Arlington
  • ~70% of those groups are currently occupying 10K SF or less
  • Of that group, over 60% are in the 5K SF and under category 
Summary

Investor Q&A 7/14/2022

Property Information

BoundTrain purchased the Property in July 2020 and has spent almost 2 years planning and designing the redevelopment. The Property has seen few updates since construction in 1970 aside from elevator modernization and roof replacement. The Sponsor plans to complete a full gut renovation down to steel/concrete on each floor with spec suites on floors three through seven, upgrades to the building façade and roof, new mechanical, electrical, storefront/entrance, main lobby, exterior plaza, common areas, shared conference room, restrooms, elevator cabs, and deliver new technology updates and security enhancements.

Sponsor plans to capitalize on providing a well-amenitized, boutique office option that will cater to local, private sector tenants who have limited options at a reasonable rent for this type of product (15-20% below competition according to Costar) in the Arlington, Virginia office market, which is currently the most sought-after market in the D.C. Metro.

Location Information

Market Overview

Washington DC is an economy anchored by the presence of the Federal Government, but its blossoming biotechnology sector in Maryland and cloud software and defense sectors in Northern Virginia could drive occupancy higher in the near term.  

Large mixed-use developments will house many of the prominent employers in the region. Amazon, Marriott, Fannie Mae, Volkswagen, and Chemonics are just a handful of companies expanding into new headquarters. On the government side, the Transportation Security Administration is moving into its new Springfield offices, and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority and the Security and Exchange Commission will move into new projects as well.

With many of the under-construction projects opening as corporate headquarters and build-to-suits, the space set to enter the market should not add excess pressure on availabilities. Leasing activity has been driven by relocations of companies already in the market, as well as expansions of new companies. Additionally, there has been an ongoing flight to quality trend in the market.  

SOURCE: COSTAR

Submarket Overview

Northern Virginia continues to attract HQ relocations. In 2Q21, Starkist Tuna announced it will relocate from Pittsburgh to Reston Town Center. 

In 2Q22, Boeing announced that it will relocate its headquarters from Chicago to Arlington. In addition to its headquarters, Boeing plans to develop research and technology. Boeing cited the access to world-class engineering and technical talent as a reason for their move. Raytheon also recently announced that it will relocate its global headquarters from Massachusetts to Arlington in 3Q22, a move that will see four of the top five U.S.-based aerospace and defense contractors headquartered in Virginia. Raytheon is the second-largest defense company in the world after Lockheed Martin.

Amazon has purchased 2 sites to develop 4.1mm SF. Construction on the first phase of Amazon's HQ2 is underway in National Landing, which Sponsor believes will be a catalyst for regional growth. Amazon has already leased 857k SF, and Phase I of construction will include 2mm SF in 2 office buildings. Amazon plans to add a minimum of 25,000 jobs by 2030 with the potential for 12,850 more by 2034 with an average salary of $150,000. Columbia Pike is expected to be a major beneficiary of Amazon HQ2. 

As tenants return to the office, they will continue to embrace a flight-to-quality trend that is unfolding across the region. In particular, buildings in close proximity to amenities stand to outperform, while functionally obsolete products could be candidates for conversion to residential or data centers.

RM Securities, LLC and its Affiliates Compensation

RM Securities, LLC, its registered representatives, affiliates, associated persons, and personnel of its affiliates who may also be associated with it, including our associated persons and personnel of our affiliates who are also be associated with RM Securities, LLC (it (“RM Securities,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) will receive fees, expense reimbursements, and other compensation (“Fees”) from the issuer of this investment offering, its sponsor, or an affiliate thereof (“Sponsor”), or otherwise in connection with Sponsor’s offering.

Sponsor will use the Fees you pay, as well as funds you invest in the relevant offering, to compensate us. The Fees paid to us will directly or indirectly be borne by you as the investor (typically, but not always, in the form of an expense of the Sponsor’s offering in which you invest) because such Fees will reduce the proceeds available for distribution to you and reduce the amount you earn over time.

For more information on the Fees paid to us, or any other Fees you will pay in connection with Sponsor’s offering, please carefully review the Sponsor’s Investment Documents. Please also carefully review RM Securities’ Form CRS, Regulation Best Interest Disclosures, and Limited Brokerage Services Agreement.

No Approval, Opinion or Representation, or Warranty by RM Securities, LLC

Sponsor has provided, approved, and is solely responsible in all aspects for the information on this webpage (“Page”), including Sponsor’s offering documentation, which may include without limitation the Private Placement Memorandum, Operating or Limited Partnership Agreement, Subscription Agreement, the Project Summary and all exhibits and other documents attached thereto or referenced therein (collectively, the “Investment Documents”). The Investment Documents linked on this page have been prepared and posted by Sponsor, and not by RM Securities. We did not assist in preparing, do not adopt or endorse, and we are not otherwise responsible for, the Sponsor’s Investment Documents. We make no representations or warranties as to the accuracy of information on this Page or in the Sponsor’s Investment Documents and we accept no liability therefor. No part of the information on this Page or in the Sponsor’s Investment Documents is intended to be binding on us.

Sponsor’s Information Qualified by Investment Documents

The information on this Page is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more complete information about the offering contained in the Sponsor’s Investment Documents. The information on this Page is not complete and subject to change at the Sponsor’s discretion at any time up to the closing date. The Sponsor’s Investment Documents and supplements thereto contain important information about the Sponsor’s offering including relevant investment objectives, the business plan, risks, charges, expenses, and other information, which you should consider carefully before investing. The information on this Page should not be used as a basis for an investor’s decision to invest.

Risk of Investment

This investment is speculative, highly illiquid, and involves substantial risk. There can be no assurances that all or any of Sponsor’s assumptions, expectations, estimates, goals, hypothetical illustrations, or other aspects of Sponsor’s business plans (“Assumptions”) will be true or that actual performance will bear any relation to Sponsor’s Assumptions, and no guarantee or representation is made that Sponsor’s Assumptions will be achieved. If Sponsor does not achieve its Assumptions, your investment could be materially and adversely affected. A loss of part or all of the principal value of your investment may occur. You should not invest unless you can readily bear the consequences of such loss. Sponsor’s Assumptions should not be relied upon as the primary basis for your decision to invest.

No Reliance on Forward-Looking Statements; Sponsor Assumptions

Sponsor is solely responsible for statements made concerning forward-looking statements and Assumptions, which apply only as of the date made, are preliminary and subject to change, and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the disclosures and cautionary statements included in Sponsor’s Investment Documents, which you should carefully review. Neither RM Securities nor Sponsor are obligated to update or revise such forward-looking statements or Assumptions to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Sponsor’s forward-looking statements and Assumptions are hypothetical, not based on actual investment achievements or events, and are presented solely for purposes of providing insight into the Sponsor’s investment objectives, detailing Sponsor’s anticipated risk and reward characteristics, and establishing a benchmark for future evaluation of actual results; therefore, they are not a predictor, projection, or guarantee of future results. You should not rely on Sponsor’s forward-looking statements as a basis to invest.

Importantly, we do not adopt, endorse, or provide any assurance of returns or as to the accuracy or reasonableness of Sponsor’s Assumptions or forward-looking statements.

No Reliance on Past Performance

Any description of past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance and should not be relied upon as the primary basis to invest.

Sponsor’s Use of Debt

A substantial portion of the total cost of the real estate asset acquired by the Sponsor with investor funds (“Property”) will be paid with borrowed funds, i.e., debt. Sponsor’s estimated rates and terms of the debt financing are subject to lender approval, and there is no assurance that the Sponsor will secure debt at the rates and terms presented on this Page or in the Sponsor’s Investment Documents, or at all. The use of borrowed money to acquire real estate is referred to as leveraging, which can amplify losses and could result in lender foreclosure. In addition, if the debt includes a variable (or “floating”) interest rate, the total amount of interest paid over the term of the debt will fluctuate and can increase. As a result, Sponsor’s use of debt can result in a loss of some or all of your investment.

Sponsor’s Offering is Not Registered

Sponsor’s securities offering will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemptions from registration pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act (“Private Placement”). In addition, the offering will not be registered under any state securities laws in reliance on exemptions from state registration. Such securities (your ownership interests) are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under applicable state and federal securities laws pursuant to registration or an available exemption. All Private Placements on the Platform are intended solely for “Accredited Investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

No Investment Advice

Nothing on this Page should be regarded as investment advice (either with respect to a particular security or regarding an overall investment strategy), a recommendation, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of or an offer to buy any security. Advice from a securities professional is strongly advised to understand and assess the risks associated with real estate or private placement investments. For additional information on RM Securities’ involvement in this offering, please carefully review the Sponsor’s Investment Documents, and RM Securities’ Form CRS, Regulation Best Interest Disclosures, and Limited Brokerage Services Agreement.

You should consult with and rely on your own tax advisor about the tax aspects with respect to your particular circumstances.
