Presentation by Roderick Q. Mac Donald, Vice President
Director of Construction, Rancon
Mr. MacDonald distributed to those present the most recent map of the .Tri
City Corporate Centre development as well as the most recent marketing
brochure (filed). . .
Mr. MacDonald gave the following statistics for the Tri City Corporate
Centre development:
o Both four-story buildings are 100% leased.
()
o
Business for both restaurants, Chili's and TGl Fridays, is
good.
o Carnegie Business Centre 1 and II were originally designed with
industrial users in _ m1r.d. The market for such a use has
changed dramatically. Those two buildings have increased to a
95% occupancy level within. 6 months since beginning to lease to
office users, who find the one-story leasing rates more
acceptable to their business budgets.
o
o One Carnegie Plaza (Garden Office Phase 1) is presently about
75% leased. Two Carnegie Plaza (Garden Office Phase II) is
about 20% leased.
o The Lakeside Tower (6-story building) is 20% leased at the
present time. Mr. MacDonald projected that the building would
be fully leased within eight months.
o The final walk-through was conducted earlier this date on the
Santa Fe Railway facility. Move-in, as well as the beginning
of operations, is scheduled for next week.
Mr. MacDonald projected that in the near future Rancon will be marketing
more one-story facilities and most likely another three story facility.
Another six-story building is noted in the master plan for the
development.

Mr. MacDonald stated that Rancon has submitted for conditional use
approval a promotional retail center site which will be located along the
freeway. There will be approximately 270.000 SF of retail space
av.al1able for lease at that location. The phased development will be.
anchored by The Home Depot. Mr. MacDonald stated that the challenge of
this project is to maintain the architectural character of the Tri City
Corporate Centre. It.is difficult to accomplish this goal with quality
office space next to a retail development.
Mr. Johnson asked about the feasibility of incorporating a health club
and/or theater into the development. Mr. MacDonald stated that those
types of uses could be options for further phases of the promotional
retail center. Mr. MacDonald shared that a future goal of the overall
project is to encourage evening business. in addition to daytime.
Mr. Sebba asked about the status of the Waterman offramp project. Mr.
MacDonald stated that progress is being made on this project. The key
issue remains the right-of-way that is needed on the property currently
owned by Pinky Brier.
Mr. MacDonald projected that construction of the new Waterman on and
offramps will dramatically increase the marketing success of the Tri City
Corporate Centre.
