Over the next five years, it is expected that there will be close to 8,000 new hotel keys added to the already 50,000 rooms in s hotel inventory. Much of the new development has been focused on Beach and Brickell, with select development in Doral and near the airport. Two new major projects Brickell City Centre (2015) and World Center (2018) will serve as catalysts for growth in the lodging sector, as they will create new demand generators in the Brickell/Downtown corridor. Surrounding areas including Midtown, Wynwood, The Design District and Edgewater are steadily evolving, adding new retail and residential product to the market. These areas will become more in focus as they continue to mature and primary lodging submarkets become too costly to develop H H 2015 ADR $154 $163 $175 $185 $202 $218 Occupancy 75.4% 76.4% 77.4% 78.3% 81.0% 80.8% RevPAR $116 $125 $135 $145 $163 $176 Source: Smith Travel & Research, Greater Convention & Visitors Bureau, Primrose Capital Research LLC

6 Hotel Financing Landscape The hotel financing landscape has been very liquid in South Florida, with all major domestic and foreign capital sources participating in the marketplace. Both individual asset fundamentals and supply/demand metrics continue to improve, providing greater confidence to lenders and investors alike. Regional and foreign banks have been the most competitive sources of permanent debt financing, offering higher LTV s, low rates (in the high 3 s to mid 4 s), and the availability of non-recourse financing. Borrowers are seeing loan-to-value ratios between 65% and 75% with debt service coverage requirements around 1.2x x. Mortgage REITs and debt funds have also played a role in the market, usually offering added flexibility in the form of higher leverage by allowing subordinate financing to be tacked on to the capital stack. In terms of new construction, financing is still readily available, although some lenders are beginning to shy away from taking on construction risk, while others are reaching their hotel lending allocation limit in South Florida. Local and regional banks, mortgage REITs and specialty finance companies have all been active players in the construction financing market, with banks offering the most competitive terms by far. Non-recourse financing for new projects are now back in season, albeit at lower leverage levels (<60%- 70%). Rates continue to remain low with average pricing around 1m Libor bps.
