Staff Report
To: Midtown Urban Renewal Board
From: David Fine, Urban Renewal Program Manager
Date: December 4, 2018
Subject: Ruh Building mixed‐use project
605 N. 7th Ave. (N. 7th Ave and Durston Rd.)
TIF Assistance Program Overview
The Bozeman City Commission created the Midtown TIF Assistance Program in 2017 to support
redevelopment activity and advance the goals of the 2015 Midtown Urban Renewal Plan. The
Midtown TIF Assistance Program supports projects that create significant new taxable value as
well as meeting the five goals of the Midtown Urban Renewal Plan. These goals, as required by
statute, focus on mitigating blighting conditions in the urban renewal area. Each of these five
goals is further refined with particular criteria for a total of sixteen categories that can receive
points. Point awards demonstrate specific compliance with the criteria, but are not the only
factors the board may consider in recommending an incentive award. For example, the board
may also consider new taxable value created by the project, or whether the project would be
feasible without a public incentive. In addition to tax generation, the goals of the Urban Renewal
Plan and the need for assistance, the Board must also make affirmative findings as required by
State Law.
Criteria for TIF Assistance
Overall District Relevance
1. Relevance to the Midtown Urban Renewal Plan: Documentation of the project’s impact in
relation to the goals and objectives of the Midtown Urban Renewal Plan, particularly mixed‐
use development. Urban design elements are also considered, including pedestrian
emphasis and quality of design.
The project eliminates blight by demolishing a vacant and aging structure and replacing it with a
vertical mixed‐use building with retail and 16 housing units, which increases the taxable value of
the property use. This 34,066 gross square foot vertical mixed‐use project locates a new building
closer to the street adding interest and activity. The proposed 3 story project features a brewery
and additional commercial space on the ground floor, 2 floors of apartments, as well as roof
deck space for brewery patrons, as well as residents.
[5 of 5]
Goal Number 1: Promote Economic Development
2. Tax Generation: The project will increase the taxable value within the District. The increase
in taxable value due to new construction & rehabilitation is estimated by the County
Assessor’s office or State Department of Revenue to determine tax increment generation.
Submit documentation of estimated tax projections to receive points for these criteria.
Leland Consulting Group (LCG) created a tax revenue generation model for the Midtown URD.
Using data provided by the property owner, LCG estimates that the property will provide an
estimated annual net tax revenue increase of $76,697 for the District. The projected net
increase in value of the property is $5,638,827. For the assumptions related to these
projections, please see the LGC report. [4 of 4]
3. Elimination of Blight: The project’s direct and indirect impact on the physical and fiscal
deterioration within the Tax Increment Financing District and the community. Submit
information showing current conditions of property.
The project eliminates blight by replacing a small low‐value vacant shop building with a 34,066
gross square foot vertical mixed‐use building that adds storefront retail commercial space and
16 housing units and substantially increases the density of development on the property.
[4 of 4]
4. Employment Generation: Total employment generated by the project assessed in terms of
new permanent and part‐time jobs, and construction jobs. Submit documentation of
estimated new jobs to receive points for this criterion.
The project will generate temporary construction jobs. The inclusion of commercial and retail
space in the project provides new space for employment. The brewery is expected to add 10‐15
full time employees and 5‐10 part time employees. Employment in the remainder of the
commercial space is tenant dependent. [2 of 3]
Goal Number 2: Improve Multi‐Modal Transportation
5. Facilitates Public Health and Mobility: Project will construct or improve sidewalks, including
ADA access to buildings. Provide detailed information demonstrating that the current
condition inhibits public health and mobility.
The project adds new 12 foot storefront block frontage standard sidewalks on the N. 7th Ave.
and Durston Rd. frontages. The new building will be ADA accessible. [1 of 1]
6. Reduces Resource Demand: Project promotes the use of transit, ride sharing, or car sharing.
Provide plans, agreements or other methods to demonstrate reduction of resource demand.
While locating housing and commercial development in Midtown places it in a centrally located
location, this project does not take particularly exceptional or innovative measures to promote
transit use, ride sharing, or car sharing. [0 of 1]
7. Promotes Active Transportation: Project promotes bicycling as an active transportation
option by constructing or improving bike lanes, providing covered bike parking, and/or
participating in a bike share program. Provide plans, agreements or other methods to
demonstrate reduction of resource demand.
No qualifying covered bike parking is proposed. [0 of 1]
Goal Number 3: Improve, Maintain, and Support Innovation in Infrastructure
8. Infrastructure Improvements: Project promotes innovation in infrastructure and/or reduces
long‐ term costs of maintenance. Provide plans and descriptions of innovations proposed.
The project, with TIF Assistance, plans to extend and utilize the City of Bozeman fiber conduit
system. The project eliminates midblock vehicular access and improves the public alley as the
primary means of vehicular ingress and egress. The alley will be improved next to the
redeveloping parcel and an adjacent parcel to facilitate required fire access. Northwestern
Energy facilities must also be moved to accommodate this project. [2 of 2]
Goal Number 4: Promote Unified Human Scale Urban Design
9. Street Frontage: The project improves the street frontage by eliminating parking between
the right‐of‐way and the building. Provide plans to demonstrate improvement in street
frontage.
The project provides all parking behind the building, which is consistent with the vision of the
Midtown Urban Renewal Plan. [2 of 2]
10. Vehicular Access Points: The project reduces the number of vehicular access points to the
property and improves the pedestrian experience. Provide plans, agreements or other
methods to demonstrate reduction.
The project proposes removing a drive approach from N. 7th Ave. All vehicular access is
provided through improvement and paving of the public alley. [2 of 2]
11. Street Orientation: The project enhances the North 7th Ave. entryway corridor by having
buildings oriented toward the street and designed to provide interest and activity.
The proposed structure would orient the structure toward the street and provide new interest
and activity. The building double fronts the arterials of N. 7th Ave and Durson Rd. with
storefront block frontage.
[3 of 3]
12. Pedestrian Experience: The project enhances the pedestrian experience with elements such
as façade transparency, building articulation, street furniture and/or landscaping. Submit
plans and details that address this criterion.
The project provides enhanced façade transparency with a store front design and double
building frontage. The project includes street trees and tree grates as well as 12 foot sidewalks.
No landscaping plan was submitted with this application. [2 of 3]
13. Quality of the Development Exceeds Minimum Requirements. The quality of development
and overall aesthetics (architectural, site design, landscaping, etc.) are beyond that which is
minimally required by the UDC. Submit documentation to demonstrate compliance with this
criterion.
Based on preliminary renderings, the project as proposed appears to exceed the minimal
requirements of the UDC for architecture, site design, and landscaping. [2 of 2]
Goal Number 5: Support Compatible Urban Density Mixed Land Uses
14. Increases Housing Units: The project increases housing units within the District. Submit
plans demonstrating an increase in the number of housing units.
The project includes 16 rental residential units. [4 of 4]
15. Mix of Uses Including Residential: The project has a mix of uses, including residential.
Submit plans detailing the proposed mix of uses within the project.
The project includes a mix of uses and includes 16 residential units. [4 of 4]
16. Shared Parking: The project shares parking among compatible uses. Provide details
demonstrating compliance with the UDC and as well as total number of parking spaces
reduced because of a shared arrangement.
The project appears to share parking between its commercial and residential uses. Future more
detailed plans for parking could show a shared parking arrangement to receive points for this
category. [0 of 2]

issuance of tax increment bonds to finance the tax increment finance assistance for
this project.
Staff Recommendation
The Midtown Urban Renewal District needs catalyst projects to drive growth in taxable
value and create demand for market‐driven redevelopment. The City Commission created the
District in 2006 with the vision of a walkable pedestrian centric area with compact urban
density. Redevelopment projects have focused on reuse of existing buildings, which provide less
potential new tax revenue. Vertical mixed‐use buildings add residents to support neighborhood
commercial uses and typically share parking among compatible uses, which allows developers to
produce building forms with more value per acre. These projects, however, are typically more
difficult to finance and develop. The City Commission structured the Midtown Urban Renewal
Plan and the Midtown TIF Assistance Program to focus on vertical mixed‐use buildings. To date,
there have been no significant vertical mixed‐use projects in the Midtown Urban Renewal
District. The lack of these projects suggests the market for these projects is untested, which
increases the degree of risk for developers, and makes incentives important for early catalyst
projects. Incentives may create the potential for higher returns to mitigate higher risk, which
may attract investment that would not occur without these incentives.
The Midtown TIF Assistance Program allows the payment of eligible costs of
development to incentivize development that meets the goals of the Midtown Urban Renewal
Plan. The applicant is applying for several eligible cost areas totaling $726,666.90. Staff finds
that the proposed costs are eligible for TIF assistance. Staff scored the application based on the
program criteria. Based on our review and the application materials presented, the project
received 38 of 44 available points. The application scored points toward all five goals of the
Midtown Urban Renewal Plan. The project eliminates blight and advances the District goal of
creating urban density land uses and providing increased housing stock within the District to
drive further commercial development.
Leland Consulting Group (LCG) completed a financial analysis of the project to help staff
evaluate the application for creation of new taxable value. Their report analyzed return on
investment (ROI), estimated payback period for the public assistance and proposed target
metrics for the ratio of private investment to public assistance. LGC bases their analysis on
awarding the applicant’s full assistance request. LCG recommends a ratio of private investment
to public assistance of 8:1 or greater for commercial projects; the ratio for this project is 6.77:1.
Several factors related to public infrastructure mitigate the lower than expected
investment ratio. The public infrastructure burden for redeveloping this small corner parcel is
significant. The Transportation Plan’s designation of Durston Rd. as a minor arterial required an
additional 20 feet of right of way dedication along the Durston Rd. frontage. Since the project
faces two arterials and elected a storefront block frontage, the project requires 12‐foot
sidewalks, street trees and tree grates on two frontages. Finally, the alley needed to be paved
and widened to facilitate vehicle and fire access, while eliminating a drive approach on N. 7th
Ave. These features of the project, which are all encouraged by the Midtown Urban Renewal
Plan create significant infrastructure costs on a small lot that can only accommodate a small
building while still proving parking. The project is also in an ideal location, at the corner of
Durston Rd and N. 7th Ave., for catalyzing the larger vision for the Midtown corridor. For these
reasons, staff supports this project despite its lower than anticipate return on investment (ROI).
LCG also created a tax generation model for the Midtown URD. According to their
model, the project would produce net new annual taxes of $106,574, which would allow TIF
assistance to be paid back in 10 years (assumes a 5% interest rate on the advanced amount) for
new increment‐based payback if assistance is provided at the staff recommended amount.
The proposed incentive request is larger than past requests, but is consistent with the
goals of the Midtown Urban Renewal Plan. In order to ensure that the level of assistance makes
the project feasible, but does not provide unreasonable returns to the developer, staff hired
Economic and Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) to provide a third party assessment of the
development pro forma. This component of the review process is new and was primarily
obtained to assess the reasonableness of each applicant’s incentive request. EPS performed
their analysis using a target discount rate and capitalization rate based on Bozeman market
conditions. Their analysis projects that the project would require incentives between $409,000
and $635,600 to meet the reasonable target rates of return. The consultants note, however,
that the applicant’s commercial and residential rent assumptions “are at the high end of what is
likely achievable at this location.” If net operating income (NOI) is lower than expected, the
applicant’s incentive request of $726,666.90 would likely be necessary to meet the reasonable
target return rate. Due to untested nature of the market for Midtown mixed‐use and the
catalytic nature of the project, staff recommends that the Midtown Urban Renewal Board
consider an incentive award between $635,600 and $726,666.90.
Recommended Motion:
“Having reviewed the contents of the Staff Report, Public Comment, and Board Deliberation and
Discussion, I move to direct staff to negotiate a development agreement with the Applicant for
Midtown TIF Assistance not to exceed $726,667 and to draft a Resolution to designating the Ruh
Building as an Urban Renewal Project.”

MIDTOWN TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
The Midtown Urban Renewal Plan (“Plan”), adopted by the Bozeman City Commission on
November 16, 2015, authorized the Midtown Urban Renewal Board (“Board”) to establish
monetary incentives in the Midtown Urban Renewal District (“District”) in support of the Plan’s
goal to promote economic development. The Board established and administers this Tax
Increment Financing (“TIF”) assistance program for the redevelopment and rehabilitation of
properties within the District.
TIF assistance applications are subject to program eligibility criteria and project guidelines listed
below. Applications will be accepted and processed in the order in which they are received and
approved based on the availability of funds for the program.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the TIF assistance program is to encourage desirable
development/redevelopment projects, as well as assist projects that would not otherwise occur
“but for” the assistance provided through tax increment financing. The purpose of this
document is to provide guidelines for the Board to offer monetary incentives for development
activities in the District in the form of TIF assistance funds.
This policy shall be used as a guide in processing and reviewing applications requesting TIF
assistance. The Board shall have the option of amending or waiving sections of this policy when
it determines, in its sole discretion, such an amendment or waiver is necessary or appropriate.
In amending or waiving any sections of this policy, the Board shall document the reason for the
deviation.
The provision of financial assistance is at the sole discretion of the Board. The Board reserves
the right to reject or approve applications on a case‐by‐case basis, taking into account
established policies, specific project criteria and the demand on District services in relation to
the potential benefits to be received from the proposed project. Meeting policy guidelines or
other criteria does not guarantee the award of TIF assistance. Furthermore, the approval or
denial of one application is not intended to set precedent for approval or denial of another
application.

Midtown Urban Renewal District TIF Assistance Revised

Criteria for TIF Assistance Explained
1.) We feel that the entire Ruh Building Project hits every point that is desired in the
Midtown District. We are increasing tax generation, housing, commercial space,
availability to walk, bike, ride share and car share, eliminating a current blight in the
Midtown area and increasing employment.
2.) We do expect the total value of the building and land to be 5,741,406.25. we also
expect to the square footage of the building to total roughly 34,066 Sq ft. and in turn
we expect the taxes for the building to be increased for this property, we also expect
that with the construction of this building it will increase the taxes of the property’s
around us. Finally, with new commercial areas opening up we also expect a tax
generation for the city from those businesses.
3.) Elimination of Blight – The current building that is on the lot is an old building that has
no character, is not in good condition and has no added value to the midtown area.
As you can see from photos on page 18 the current building once torn down and
rebuilt will eliminate a blight and replace it with a beautiful cornerstone to the
midtown district. The new Ruh building can be seen on page 20 and is a massive
improvement from the current building.
4.) Employment Generation – There will be an increase in jobs by the construction of this
building. Depending on what goes into the other half of the commercial area on the
North side we estimate that anywhere from 25‐35 job can be created from this
project. 15‐20 is estimated to be full time and the rest being part time. The South
side of the building will hold a brewery which in Bozeman average about 20
employees 10‐15 being full time. The management of the building is also another 2 full
time jobs. The construction of this building will help sustain or increase the amount of
construction jobs in the area.
5.) Facilitates Public Health and Mobility: The new project will include many ADA
compliant amenities as well as better access for pedestrians in general, including new
sidewalks, ADA compliant access to the sidewalk and building. ADA compliant parking
spaces and an elevator in the building. The current project has crumbling sidewalks
and parking areas and has no ADA compliant access to the sidewalks or building.
6.) Reduces Resource Demand: There is a bus stop for the Streamline by Tamarack which
is only about .1 mile away. There is also the easy access to use a ride share in
Bozeman in a prominent easy to access point such as our project. Finally, we hope to
find a way to incentivize the commercial space leasers to promote both carpooling
and ride sharing.
7.) Promotes Active Transportation: The project has included a covered bike rack on the
Page 14 of 49
Midtown Urban Renewal District TIF Assistance Revised
January 2017
South West Corner of the Building.
8.) Infrastructure Improvements: We would improve the sidewalks in the public right of
way, we would introduce trees to add greenery, and also include benches and trash
cans so people can relax while keeping our public area clean.
9.) By placing the building as close to the road as possible, we are eliminating the parking
in front of the building and moving it to the back of the new building (West side).
There will now be a sidewalk, trees, benches, trashcans and lighting that will now line
the street instead of parking. You can now see what it will look like on page 21 and 23
10.) We have removed the entrance on 7th to the property while moving the
entrance on Durston from the property to the alley way. This allows for sidewalks to
be placed with trees, benches and trashcans for a more pleasurable experience for
pedestrians. See page 22 labeled parking for example.
11.) Our project follows the guidelines for having the building oriented toward the
street on 7th (about 12ft from the curb) and as close as we could get on Durston
without interfering with Public right of way. The first floor will be commercial space
drawing pedestrians to the area. See page 22 labeled parking for example.
12.) We plan on having large windows on the East and South side of the building
allowing people to investigate the building. We also plan on having benches on the
east and south side of the building by the side walk and trash cans, so litter is not
placed on the ground. Finally, we plan on adding trees to line the sidewalk and bushes
on the North side of the building to add to the landscaping of the grass spaces in
between other areas.
13.) We have met or gone above and beyond the architectural, site design,
landscaping, ADA, and quality of the entire project. You can see this in the site plan
designs.
14.) There was originally zero housing on the corner of 7th and Durston. There will
now be a total of 16 apartments and 28 rooms available in those apartments in total.
See page 19 for the drawings. This fulfils the requirements for the increase in
residential areas.
15.) As you can see from page 19 we have one floor of commercial use on the base
floor and two floors of Residential use. This meets the requirements for a mixed‐use
building.
16.) We plan on having as much parking as possible and are working to work with
our neighbors to share their parking in their off hours. We also plan to have
businesses that have separate high times than each other as well as the high times for
Page 15 of 49

the residential areas.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
The 0.653 acre B‐2M zoned property sits on the corner of 7th and Durston, it resides on the
North side of Durston, and the West side of 7th. The site currently has the old Intensive
car/Sinclair gas station building on the lot and a crumbling parking lot which will be demolished
with the approval of The Ruh building. The current building is 1008 Square feet and there is a
shed that is 78 Square feet.
The Ruh Building is a mixed‐use commercial/residential building located in one of the most
prominent sections of 7th street and the Bozeman Midtown District. This building will provide
2‐3 commercial units with shared restrooms, one containing a ground floor patio and there
being access for one the commercial units to use a rooftop patio. The building will also contain
12 two‐bedroom residential rental units and 4 one‐bedroom residential rental unit.
The 30,538± gross square foot building will face 7th street and be accessed by pedestrians in the
front as well as in the back of the building. The building parking will be behind the building on
the west side of the lot which may be accessed by an alley way off Durston Rd.
The timeless and contemporary design will provide much needed value to the area. The
structure is a steel and wood structure, the design shows large windows on the first floor for
view of the inside businesses. The rooftop patio accessed by all residents of the building allows
for the internal community to grow. The location and the amenities that could be in the
commercial area give the ability for tenants to use those as well as the public become a social
aspect to the whole Bozeman community. The whole design of the building allows for visual
interest while being functional with quality that is long lasting.
The materials that have been chosen are durable to ensure a long‐lasting life to the building
while also having an aesthetical appeal. We want the building to be a valuable addition to the
Bozeman area for decades to come. We will use brick, stressed metal siding, stone, concrete
large windows, recessed entrances and metal coverings. Trees and brick sidewalk accents will
add pleasant finishing additions to the project.
We expect to dispose of the solid waste in a trash enclosure on the East side of the building
past the parking lot. Water and sewer services will be extended from Durston. The project will
be built with no interruptions until complete. The project is expected to be complete by fall
2019.

PUBLIC BENEFITS
Re‐occupancy of Vacant Land
605 North 7th was the old home to the Sinclair gas station and then became a Subaru
auto body work shop for a few years. The Ruh Building will be a redevelopment project
that will help beautify the area while drawing the locals and visitors of Bozeman to the
area creating a better more active Bozeman Midtown District
Elimination of Blight
Currently 605 North 7th consists of an old gas station with no color or character with a parking
lot that is crumbling under your feet. The Ruh Buildings mix of timeless and contemporary
design will provide value and options for the community. The design shows large windows on
the first floor for view of the inside businesses. The rooftop patio accessed by all residents of
the building allows for the internal community to grow. The location and the amenities that
could be in the commercial area give the ability for tenants to use those as well as the public
become a social aspect to the whole Bozeman community. The whole design of the building
allows for visual interest while being functional with quality that is long lasting.
Creation of New Office/Retail Spaces
The Ruh Building, a mixed‐use building, contains 2‐3 spaces for commercial areas. The
spaces range in size from 4636‐ 1500 gross Square feet. Each unit has large windows on
the East and West side of the building. The unit to the South has a large porch area.
There is also the ability to use a commercial roof top patio for one of the commercial
units. These units will share a common parking area. New businesses in the area will
draw activity and provide new jobs.
Urban Living Options
There are Sixteen dwellings available on the second and third floor of the Ruh building.
There are 12 two‐bedroom units and 4 one‐Bedroom units. Each unit ranges from 654
to 1,109 square feet. Large windows in each apartment provide stunning views of the
Bridger Mountains, the Tobacco Root Mountains and the cityscape of Bozeman itself.
The proximity of The Ruh Building to much of the town allow you to have walking access
to downtown main, restaurants and school makes this an ideal place for a mixed‐use
residential building.
Page 28 of 49
Midtown Urban Renewal District TIF Assistance Revised
January 2017
Increased Tax Revenue
The Ruh Building will create new commercial and residential spaces. These spaces will
bring in new jobs, and employees for expanding job markets, additional sales and
property taxes. All of these will increase Tax Revenue for the City of Bozeman while also
improving the Bozeman Midtown District.
New Jobs and Local Sales
The construction of The Ruh Building will immediately be using locally sourced jobs to
build the building but once completed will also add several jobs from the commercial
units. The maintenance of the building and land will help create or sustain jobs in the
area as well. Supporting local businesses builds strong communities by linking everyone
involved in a web of economic and social relationships that contribute the cities
economic success, enriching the whole community.

been contracted by the City of Bozeman to complete an evaluation of
developer requests for TIF and specifically evaluate key project
assumptions, such as construction costs, sales revenues, and operating
revenues and expenditures, as well as overall developer return. The
purpose of this analysis is to ensure that the assumptions presented by
a developer align with current market conditions and industry standards.
This memorandum provides an overview of the evaluation criteria, an
overview of the key inputs, and a summary of the key findings. The
detailed analysis and supporting tables are provided in the appendix of
this memorandum.
Approach
As part of the TIF application process, each development team is
required to submit a formal proposal that includes a project overview
and key project assumptions. These materials include a summary of the
development program, construction costs, eligible costs, sales revenues,
and ongoing revenue and expenditures assumptions. Using this
information as a starting point, EPS has structured a static and time
series pro forma that summarizes this information as well as a number
of other key project metrics such as project return. This analysis
evaluates the performance of each project on an unleveraged pre-tax
basis in order to evaluate the project fundamentals exclusive of the
unique equity and debt structure of each project.

Project Assumptions
This section provides a summary of the development assumptions submitted by the development
team and a comparison to current market conditions or industry standards.
Development Program
Location: NW Corner of N 7th Avenue and Durston Road
Parcel Area: 0.653 acres (28,445 square feet)
Stories: 3-stories
Total Building Area: 30,538 square feet
Commercial Program: The current proposal contemplates 11,000 square feet of commercial
space that is anticipated to occupy the first floor of the building. The commercial space is
anticipated to be a mix of office space and general retail space.
Rental Multifamily Program: The second and third floors are anticipated to be occupied by 16
rental residential units that are estimated to occupy approximately 16,400 square feet of space.
The residential unit mix currently contemplates four 1-bedroom units and 12 2-bedroom units.
Unit sizes are expected to range from 650 to 800 square feet for the 1-bedroom units and 980 to
1,100 square feet for the 2-bedroom units.
Project Costs
Land Costs
Total: $950,000
Cost per Land SF: $33 per square foot
% of Total Costs: 14 percent of total
Comments: Land costs typically range from 10 to 20 percent of total project costs depending on
the development type. At 14 percent of total, this project is within that range. In addition, land
costs at approximately $33 per square foot are in align with other recent transactions in this
area.
Hard Costs
Total: $4,861,406
Cost per GBA: $159 per square foot
Comments: Average construction costs in the larger market area are estimated to range from
$110 to $150 per square foot. At $159 per square foot, this project falls just above that range.
However, the development team anticipates using higher quality finishes that include brick,
stressed metal siding, stone, concrete and large windows that all contribute to higher
construction costs.
Soft Costs
Total: $817,260
% of Hard Costs: 14 percent
Comments: Generally, soft costs for comparable projects typically range from 20 to 30 percent
of hard construction costs (vertical construction costs). At 14 percent of hard costs this project
falls below that range.
Operating Revenue
Commercial Rental Rate: The 11,000 square feet of space that is contemplated as a mix of
office and retail space is currently estimated to rent for $24 per square foot (NNN). Rental rates
for comparable space in downtown Bozeman are roughly $25 per square foot while rental rates
Memorandum November 30, 2018
Bozeman TIF Review: Ruh Building Page 3
183082-MEMO-TIF Review-Ruh Building
for office space outside of downtown can range from $16 to $18 per square foot. The estimated
rental rates for this building are on the higher end of the range in rental rates that are
anticipated to be achievable at this location.
Residential Rental Rate: The 16 multifamily units that are contemplated for construction on
this site are estimated to rent for $1,200 per unit per month for the 1-bedroom units and $1,800
per unit per month for the 2-bedroom units. These rental rates translate to roughly $1.50 to
$1.60 per square foot, which is also on the high end of what may be achievable at this location.
Project Return
The performance of the project with and without a public investment is estimated by using two
primary criteria. The first is an evaluation of the overall project returns on an annual basis. This
approach relies on an evaluation of the projects Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of
Return (IRR). The second approach is based on a static (single point in time) evaluation of the
project’s total value and compares those to total construction costs. Although this approach is
generally less precise than the times series evaluation, it provides an additional test of overall
project feasibility. The purpose of this analysis is to provide an evaluation of the feasibility of the
project with and without a potential public investment.
Overall Project Return
The first method used to evaluate project return is an evaluation of the project’s internal rate of
return (IRR). Generally, the IRR is the percentage rate earned on each dollar invested for each
period it is invested. The IRR is typically used by investors to compared alternative investments
based on their potential rate of return. Mathematically, the IRR is the discount rate that makes
the net present value (NPV) of a project equal to zero. The NPV is the estimated value of all
future cash flows of an investment discounted to the present. The NPV of a given series of cash
flows is heavily dependent on an investor’s discount rate, which reflects an individual investor’s
opportunity cost of capital. In other words, an investor’s discount rate reflects their expected
rate of return for investments with a comparable level of risk.
For the purpose of this analysis, the discount rate is used as a hurdle rate in determining an
appropriate rate of return for a given project. When determining appropriate discount it is
important to consider the following rates when building up to a project discount rate.
Inflation rate
Riskless rate of return (typically U.S. 10-Year Treasury Note rate of return)
General real estate risk (timing and market cycle risk)
Product type risk (i.e. multifamily, retail, office, etc.)
Market risk (geographic specific)
In addition to an evaluation of these rates EPS referenced published data documenting discount
rates in the western U.S. Finally, in determining an appropriate discount rate for this specific
property EPS considered the following project specific factors:
Program – The mix of uses that are contemplated to include retail, office, and multifamily
were an important factor in determining an appropriate discount rate. Generally, multifamily
development has a lower discount rate and corresponding level of risk than office and retail
development.
Memorandum November 30, 2018
Bozeman TIF Review: Ruh Building Page 4
183082-MEMO-TIF Review-Ruh Building
Project Location – While this site is only a short drive from downtown Bozeman, the area is
still relatively untested for the uses proposed for development and this project would
represent an initial test of an unproven market, which results in added risk and warrants a
higher discount rate.
Market Cycle – The nation and generally the local real estate market has experienced nearly
10 straight years of year-over-year growth. In most real estate markets there is a natural
cycle of expansion and contraction that typically ranges from seven to 10 years. Given the
fact that Bozeman is likely at the tail end of this cycle or nearing a phase of oversupply,
there is additional risk associated with the timing of the market.
Without public investment the project achieves an internal rate of return of 6.87 percent. The
factors outlined above and the risks associated with this type of project, at this location, and in
this phase of the real estate cycle warrant a discount rate of 8.25 percent (1.5 percent above the
income capitalization rate, below). While this estimate is somewhat subjective, it reflects a
variety of current market conditions, risk factors, and the mix of development types proposed for
this project. In order to achieve an internal rate of return of 8.25 percent the project requires
approximately $635,600 in public investment.
Static Project Feasibility
Evaluating the project from a static (i.e. single point in time) perspective provides an evaluation
of a given project’s feasibility. This method relies on a comparison of the total project costs to a
given project’s total estimated value. For the Ruh Building project, total value is calculated by
summing the value of the condominium units and adding the estimated value of the commercial
space. The value of the commercial space is calculated by using an estimated capitalization rate
at stabilization. The capitalization rate (cap rate) is relatively straight forward metric that reflects
a project’s net operating income (NOI) and perceived value. Mathematically the cap rate is
calculated by dividing a project’s stabilized NOI by its actual sales value.
For this project a cap rate of 6.75 percent is estimated to be reasonable based on a review of
market data in the western U.S. Compared to the Aspen Crossing building, a lower cap rate was
used for this building due to the presence of rental residential which is trading at low cap rates in
the strong rental market nationally and locally. This cap rate results in a total valuation for the
multifamily and commercial space of $6.27 million. For the Subtracting the total construction
costs of $6.68 million, results in a total project gap of roughly $409,000.
Project Request
The developers of the Ruh Building project are requesting $726,667 in public investment in order
to fund project specific eligible costs. Based on the two methodologies outlined above, EPS
estimates that the project funding gap ranges from $409,000 to $635,600. The developer
request is outside of this range. It is, however, important to note that the commercial rental
assumptions at $24 per square foot (NNN) and the multifamily rental assumptions at roughly
$1.50 to $1.60 per square foot are at the high end for what is likely achievable at this location. If
these rental rates are reduced to more conservative rates (as shown in the sensitivity tables in
the appendix of this memo) the estimated project gap increases to an amount that is greater
than the developer request of $726,667.
