Title:

Preliminary Deal Structure: Case of Paxmar

Purpose/Background:

PURPOSE
Consider preliminary deal structure for the purchase of roughly 2.9-acres of city-owned land by Paxmar for a residential development project.  The purpose of this case is not to provide formal direction.  A formal purchase agreement will be brought back to the EDA in December.

BACKGROUND
Paxmar is a twin cities based residential development company.  They are currently working on two separate 100+ unit single-family residential projects located near Puma Street and Alpine Drive (two different parcels, two different existing property owners, two different product types).  One of their projects requires the purchase of a small remnant city-owned property .  This property is known as the "former Legacy Christian Academy park dedication property" (CBRE Listing 13).  This property is roughly 4-acres in size.  However, Puma Street is being realigned through this city-owned property (CBRE Listing 13).  As a result, a portion of the property is being sold to Capstone Homes (west side, 1.1 acres), and a portion is being sold to Paxmar (east side, 2.89 acres).  The City has already approved the Capstone Purchase Agreement at $25,000 per acre.  The Paxmar purchase agreement will be nearly identical to the Capstone Purchase Agreement.

Notification:
