(Attachment #1) Parkview East Apartments overview Parkview East, LLC is proposing to build a 122 unit Market Rate apartment in the COR development located in the City of Ramsey. This building will be a four story structure that will overlook The Draw Park. Our plan incorporates trail connection to existing walking trails that access the Draw Park and the boulevards that connect to the City's boulevards. We have integrated many unique qualities in the exterior finishes we selected, the specs incorporate a high level of aesthetics. There is four sided architecture that consists will be over 50% of brick/cultured stone/Nichiha panels. The windows will have a mission style internal grid and will be energy efficient with multiple glazings. There will be two patios will gas grills and patio furniture for the tenants to use. The tenants will have access to a community garden that will be irrigated and can grow fresh vegetables. The complex will utilize both attached tuck under garages and detached garages that will use the same high level finishes as used in the apartment building. Inside each rental unit we will incorporate the following items: Granite countertops and windowsills, Stainless Steel appliances, wood plank flooring, energy efficient front load washers and dryers, entry access key fobs, wood blinds. The community room will include dining room tables, sofas, coffee tables, oversized wall mounted TV, a Nintendo Wii, DVD/BIu Ray player, full kitchen and patio access. Tenants will have access to a fitness center with commercial exercise equipment, flat screen TV's and various small pieces of fitness equipment. We anticipate a diverse make up of the type of tenants, which will include: Seniors downsizing their housing, new families with small children, single professionals, handicapped individuals, and most any other type of tenant that does not wish to live in a single family home. This complex will be a Market Rate building which is grossly lacking within a 5 mile radius from this site. Tenants will also desire to live here given the close proximity to the Northstar Commuter Rail, people may work downtown and take the light rail to work. In conclusion, we feel we are proposing exactly what this area needs. For far too long the needs of the middle section of the rental market is not being addressed. By having all of these amenities in close proximity to both a park and light rail, tenants will find this location ideal.
