Consideration for the ground lease consists of a parking garage constructed by the developer, at its expense, plus pre-paid cash rent.

Acquisition Services (financial analysis necessary to formulate an offer, negotiation with the seller, preparation of letter of intent, and participation in due diligence) to assist the institution in the purchase of a single family residential subdivision under construction. The units, which originally were to be sold to the public, will be acquired for subsequent re-sale as faculty housing project of the client.
