Nexus Point was crafted to address the growing needs of the Bozeman community. The project is designed in a responsible manner, maximizing scarce land resources suitable for development by focusing on density and efficient land use, while forming an exceptional live-work-play environment. Trail corridors run along the entire length of the east and west property boundaries, as well as through the center of the newly planned Lantern Park, the north 1/2 of which is part of the Nexus Point development scope. These trail corridors allow for pedestrian and bicycle traffic - separate and away from automobile traffic - and provide for excellent circulation throughout the project area and beyond. Nexus Point is primarily residential in nature and consists of 240 multi-family dwelling units (all 3-story), plus an approximate 9,900 square foot 2-story community building for resident use, and two 2-story office buildings fronting S. 19th Avenue. The office buildings serve as a “buffer” between 19th Avenue traffic and the residences, as well as providing a transition from the commercial uses north of the project to the residential uses south. The project also includes development of a highly-amenitized public park featuring playground structure, locally- manufactured bouldering rock, fenced dog park, community pavilion, picnic tables, benches and bike racks and a fitness trail with outdoor exercise equipment, as well as other enclaves for public enjoyment. The project is planned to be built in multiple phases: Phase I - Community Building plus 120 Apartments • Community Building - The community building will feature a gym, outdoor pool with BBQ area, media room, game room, as well as lounge and dining areas - both indoor and outdoor - for resident use. The community building will also house leasing offices and a conference room. The community building is a 2-story contemporary structure with a flat membrane roof, having an overall height of 30’ 3-3/4” to top of parapet. • Two 3-story 24-plex walk-up structures with a combination of shed and gable roofs, having an overall height of 37’ 0-3/8” to top of roof. There are three types of units within the 24-plex buildings: (i) 50% - 940 square foot 2-bed 1-bath apartments; (ii) 25% - 987 square foot 2-bed 2-bath apartments; and (iii) 25% - 1,141 square foot 2-bed 2-bath apartments. • Six 3-story 12-plex walk-up structures with gable roofs, having an overall height of 36’ 11-1/2” to top of roof. All units in the 12-plex buildings are Nexus Point - Project Narrative – Master Site Plan Page 2 of 3 essentially identical or mirror images consisting of 1,046 square foot 2-bed 2- bath apartments. Future Apartment Phase - 120 Apartments Four 3-story 30-plex elevator-served structures, having a planned unit mix of 40% 1-bed units and 60% 2-bed units. Future Office Phase Two 2-story office buildings at the S. 19th Avenue entry to Nexus Point. The office buildings are planned to be approximately 9-11,000 square feet and will be designed to be divisible down to approximate 1,200 square foot office suites. In addition to traditional office uses, alternate uses such as day-care and potentially a small cafe are being considered - provided a potential future relaxation of allowable uses within R-O zoning. All residences include spacious storage closets just outside the front door to each unit, large covered outdoor patios/balconies, abundant covered bike racks, community BBQ areas for each building, one reserved covered carport parking stall for each unit, and 300 Mbps fiber internet connection through a private WiFi network. Parking for the project exceeds minimum code requirements.

Building pads will be created for future phases during first phase construction. The project is submitted as a non-subdivision development with easements for streets.
