9. 9 JLL Report Summary

10. JLL – Atlanta Market Strong Travel/Tourism Infrastructure Expected economic improvement and with limited supply growth, Lodging RevPar should see near term improvements Robust office market shifting to landlord- favorable market as companies move from suburbs to urban core 10

11. JLL – Conventions Market Increases in supply –CEIR outlook (3 years) is moderate demand growth: 5.8% Exhibit Net Square Foot growth 6.8% increase in revenues GWCC exhibition attendance has remained flat (possibly indicating decreased competitiveness). 11

12. JLL – Conventions Market Customer surveys indicate proximity of hotel rooms to facility is of paramount importance to meeting planners. The GWCC ranks 14 th in terms of rooms within ½ mile per 1,000sf of exhibit hall space. “A new headquarter hotel at the GWCC would likely mitigate some of the ‘refer In-House Facility/Hotel’ lost business and a portion of the ‘No Availability Hotels’ lost business.” 12

14.

18. 18 Subject Property’s Occupancy & Average Rate Forecast (FY)

19. Summary - HVS Hotel would increase activity in Building C and group room night demand. Brand is important for success. Feasibility is extremely high. Biggest risk is regional/national incident (ie: Katrina). Combination of Public/Private Development 19

20. 20 PKF Report Summary

21. PKF – Atlanta Market Atlanta has made strong progress in higher- paid professional and technical services job growth. New attractions (CFHOF, Museum, NSP) will bring new jobs. Multiple growth engines and strong demographics will make Atlanta an above- average performer in the long term. (Moody’s Analytics July 2013). Location of current Hotel inventory in relation to Buildings B and C has a negative impact on GWCC business. 21

22. 22 Hotels in the Atlanta Downtown Area

23. PKF – Atlanta Market Demand for hotel rooms is at a historic high since the “Great Recession”. Demand has increased following GWCCA expansions (GWCC/Dome/COP) & attractions (Aquarium, World of Coke). Development of Lucky Marietta District has improved the offering of restaurants and entertainment options for visitors. 23

24. PKF - Summary Hotel at GWCC would be preferred hotel for customers. Creates ability to sell/host multiple events in multiple buildings. Opportunity to spur development. Overall market feasibility is very high. Public development is key Consider a non-branded development. 24
