Forest Meadows Street in the City of Flagstaff, Arizona, which Capstone is developing as a mixed-use student housing apartment project (the “Project”). In conjunction with the Project, Capstone obtained a conditional use permit for rooming and boarding that requires Capstone to complete public sidewalk improvements along the west side of a segment of Beulah Boulevard between McConnell Drive and NAIPTA Bus Stop #8 (the “Beulah Sidewalk Improvements”). The Beulah Sidewalk Improvements were also a condition of approval of the Traffic Impact Analysis that was completed for the Project.

Capstone is in the process of purchasing the property needed to construct the Beulah Sidewalk Improvements from Woodlands Village Shopping Center, LLC (“Seller”) and desires that Seller convey the subject property directly to the City of Flagstaff.
