LAP-II Investment
Highlights
-
Honeywell, with $23 Billion in annual
revenues, has an investment grade “A” credit
rating.
-
Honeywell Aerospace, as tenant,
is heavily imbedded in this facility. They enjoy close
proximity to Sky Harbor Airport and other multiple
Honeywell Facilities. The Honeywell Aerospace Group
has leases with the City of Phoenix in excess of 40
years.
-
Lease Renewal is highly probable
due to Honeywell Aerospace’s large non-recoverable
investments.
-
NNN lease provides a minimum 3%
annual CPI adjustment with minimal maintenance requirements
by the landlord.
-
Purchase price is significantly below replacement cost.
-
Asset exit strategy in place. Sky
Harbor Airport has a long term interest in acquiring
the property for airport expansion and construction
of a fourth runway.

Honeywell’s
lease is up for renewal August 1, 2009. CCI rates Honeywell’s
renewal probability as extremely high under existing terms
due to its favorable location to other Honeywell properties
and the Airport, their non-recoverable investment in the
space, high cost to relocate, low operating costs, reconstruction
costs of it's assembly and repair lines, and a lack of
pre-built alternate facilities in the area. Honeywell
has renewed their lease four times since
relocating to this location. Honeywell has spent several
million in improvements in the last few years. It
is our opinion that Honeywell, one of the top local employers,
will only move their operation from Sky Harbor when the
fourth runway becomes a reality.
Sky Harbor Airport ’s
expansion plan for a North Runway provides a motivated
buyer for the property seven to twelve years out. The
Airport has already acquired approximately 75% of the Northern
bordering land tracts through voluntary buyout programs.
Their business buyout program in the past has included
fair market value plus the cost of relocation of existing
tenants. For political reasons, the Airport operates as
a good neighbor and implements a win-win attitude regarding
their acquisition and expansion plans.

Tenant: Honeywell’s Phoenix Repair
and Overhaul Group is part of Honeywell Aerospace aftermarket
services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International. The
tenant uses this property, one of several Honeywell facilities

the majority of the facility devoted to engine services.

Sky Harbor Airport Development: The
new third runway open on October 5, 2000 at a cost of $175
million. The runway expansion
program included rerouting drainage to the Salt River and
relocating the Arizona Air National Guard 161st Aerial
refueling wing facilities. For additional information
read
the Phoenix
aviation director statement to congress.
Planning has commenced for a new fourth runway. Read the
full article on the Maricopa
County Aviaition Plan. Approximately 192,000
passengers and guests pass through Sky Harbor each day.
As population growth in the valley has increased, so
has the demand for airport services. Sky Harbor has experienced
a 32 percent increase in passengers since 1990 and has
approximately 33.5 million passengers a year using its
facilities. During 1999 the airport ranked as the 12th
busiest in the country and 17th busiest in the world
for passenger volume. The number of aircraft landing and
departing the airport has also increased. With over 560,000
operations per year, Sky Harbor currently ranks as the
4th busiest airport in the country for takeoffs and landings.
Cargo volume has increased 69 percent since 1990 with 365,543
tons of cargo shipped from Sky Harbor in 1999. The dramatic
increases in demand have caused the Airport to outgrow
its facilities and have impacted the ability to provide
quality customer service. In an effort to improve customer
service, the City of Phoenix Aviation Department has
undertaken an aggressive expansion program at Phoenix Sky
Harbor International Airport and currently has 78 construction
projects underway at a projected cost of $619 million.

Light Rail Development
Program: (http://www.valleymetro.org/rail/) Current
plans call for the METRO light rail system to open
in late 2008. Station
design plans were completed in spring 2004, with final
design of some remaining system elements, such as the
track, scheduled for completion in summer and fall 2004.
Construction on the Maintenance and Storage Facility
is scheduled to begin in summer 2004, with line construction
scheduled to begin in late 2004/early 2005 along some
portions of the route. The
detailed planning phase of the METRO light rail system
will encompass a light rail corridor to serve the
high-capacity travel corridor connecting Phoenix, Tempe
and Mesa.
Light rail project
planners worked with the community to develop and
recommend an initial 20.3-mile route to city councils
in the three cities.
