AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT FOR 8049 FORSYTH BOULEVARD
Interim City Manager Watson reported that this item was originally on July 23, 2019 agenda, and it was tabled to a different date. Staff is now re-presenting it. On April 24, 2015, staff issued a request for proposals related to the development of City-owned property located at 8049 Forsyth Boulevard, currently a surface parking lot. Staff received four responses by the August 3, 2015, deadline. On December 20, 2017, the City entered into a purchase and development agreement with Flaherty & Collins. Flaherty & Collins proposed building a 22-story, 457,575 square foot mixed-use building containing 7,852 square feet of first floor retail, 228 rental residential units and 324 structured parking

spaces. The purchase price was $1,100,000. The purchase and development agreement with Flaherty & Collins have expired and is no longer in effect. Staff has since negotiated with another one of the original RFP respondents, 8027 Forsyth Acquisitions, LLC which is a related entity to US Capital, formerly known as Koman Development.
8027 Forsyth Acquisitions, LLC proposes to build a multi-story Class “A” office building that will have approximately 166,000 square feet of office space, have self-contained parking, and have ground floor retail space of approximately 13,000 square feet, which retail space shall include an arts and entertainment venue. The proposed purchase price is $2,625,000. The proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement now presented to the Board for consideration does not circumvent any required rezoning and architectural review of the project. 8027 Forsyth Acquisitions, LLC will make an application for a Planned Unit Development district designation and will follow the normal site plan and architectural review process including any new requirements currently being discussed within the Plan Commission and Board of Aldermen. Staff has negotiated the agreement and supports it approval. Andrew Galakatos, 8025 Maryland Avenue, addressed the Board with concerns that there was no appraisal done and providing a “safety net” or “buy back” proposed in the agreement. He recommends that the Board vote no on the issue or table it until there is a full board to act on it. Alderman Berkowitz agreed with Mr. Galakatos.
