INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND Lennar Urban, is the Master Developer of Candlestick Point. Candlestick Center, LLC is a joint venture between the Master Developer and Macerich Development that is responsible for the development of the retail component of the Project. These projects will be a model of integrated planning and sustainable design. This site is located on 24 acres along the southeastern waterfront in San Francisco. The Project site is part of the larger Bayview Hunters Point (BVHP) neighborhood, an area characterized by well-established residential neighborhoods, commercial uses, and industrial areas. The transformative communities will introduce new infrastructure, state-of-the-art amenities, restored parks & open space, regional & neighborhood retail centers, and a diverse range of housing opportunities along the picturesque waterfront—all conveniently situated near downtown San Francisco and the Peninsula. Candlestick Point is known for its most prominent feature—Candlestick Park. The multi-purpose stadium is the iconic former home of the San Francisco Giants baseball team and the San Francisco 49ers football team, and was in use as a professional sports stadium from 1960 to 2013. The final public event (Paul McCartney concert) took place in 2014 and its demolition is slated for 2015. The project site for the new Candlestick Point project is comprised primarily of the stadium site and the substantial parking lots and roadways that surround it. The project also involves the adjacent Alice Griffith housing community. The Alice Griffith Development currently consists of 256 public housing residences that are in need of reconstruction. As part of the larger revitalization project in Candlestick Point, Lennar Urban is leading the rebuilding of the existing housing facilities, plus an additional 248 affordable housing residences. Construction of the first 185 residences will begin in Q1 2015, with work on another 121 homes slated to start by May 2015. The final 198 residences will begin in September 2018. Residents of Alice Griffith will stay in their current homes until they can move directly into the new flats and townhomes within the mixed-income development. The combined Candlestick and Shipyard projects (also by Lennar) are the largest redevelopment effort in San Francisco since the 1906 earthquake and are changing the face of the City’s southeastern waterfront. The goal is to engage locally based businesses to join the endeavor to create thriving communities within the Candlestick neighborhood. SmithGroupJJR has been retained by the Master Developer and Candlestick Center, LLC (collectively the “Owners”) to serve as the Master Architect for the Candlestick Point Site. The Master Architect anticipates contracting with Langon (Civil Engineering), Forell/Elsesser Engineers, Inc. (Structural Engineer), AEI (MEP) and Atelier 10 (Environmental Design). It is the intent through the RFP process to strongly encourage LBE and SBE firms specializing in the disciplines above to submit proposals for substantial associations with the aforementioned specialist consultants. SmithGroupJJR, Inc will hold most other consultant contracts, including those yet to be selected as part of this RFP process. See Exhibit A. SmithGroupJJR, Inc is therefore assisting the Owners in the process of issuing the RFP, answering questions, and gathering submissions.

SCHEDULE The Project pipeline over the course of the engagement period in this RFP is anticipated to be three to four years and involve the full build out of Candlestick Point. Refer to Exhibit J for the current project schedule, although schedule is subject to modifications. E. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Development Team intends to improve a 24 +/- Acre parcel that sits directly beneath the existing Candlestick Park. The new development will be an urban open-air retail complex comprised of approximately 500,000 square feet of gross leasable area (GLA) or 650,000 gross square feet (GSF) of premium outlet retail and will be known as Fashion Outlets of San Francisco. The retail complex will be supported by 2,900 parking spaces configured below the complex and in an adjacent parking structure. Vertical Transportation will be strategically distributed through the parking to provide easy access for the customer as well as evenly distribute the circulation through the development. Intermixed in the complex will be 262 residential units and a performance venue located over the retail, currently anticipated to be approximately 45,000 square feet. Adjacent to the parking structure, will be a future 220 room hotel, future senior housing tower (which will contain210 units) and an Automated Waste Collection Station. The hotel and senior housing tower are not part of the scope of this RFP. All parking (underground and adjacent parking structure) residential over-build, performance venue, future hotel and future senior housing will be the responsibility of the Master Developer. Designer Outlets of San Francisco will be a vibrant mixed-use retail district that, in contrast to a conventional suburban mall, weaves together regional retail space, neighborhood retail space, office, a hotel, and unique urban public open space. It will be the value retail destination for the Bayview April 17, 2015 5 of 13 Candlestick Point RFP neighborhoods, with its collection of national and international branded retail, restaurants, office and hotels. Buildings will be oriented around arcing retail streets with mid-block pedestrian mews. The retail streets will extend the surrounding street grid into the shopping district to seamlessly integrate the neighborhoods with pedestrian friendly access. The public realm will have a very urban flavor. The layout is designed to concentrate density to enhance pedestrian activity and the street system is designed to prioritize walking, bicycling, and transit use. The plan will support the use of streets as public spaces for social interaction and community life, as well as provide landscaped areas within the concourses that enhance the center’s ambiance. The largest scale structures of this proposed retail development will be located along Harney Way and Ingerson Avenue with the most intensive uses occurring at key street intersections of the site. Pedestrian scale buildings and storefronts will be located on the pedestrian mews to reduce the scale of the blocks and allow for greater pedestrian movement within and through this urban development. Exciting mixed-use buildings, concentrated near the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) Plaza, will exhibit iconic architecture creating a retail gateway to the district. A subterranean garage under the entire retail project, coupled with structured parking located on the northwest side, adjacent to Arelious Walker Drive, will be concealed by sloping terrain and landscaped screening to soften this necessary function, while providing convenient customer access to the development. Retail streets will have a ‘main street’ feel defined by generously sized and furnished sidewalks, and continuous retail frontage on both sides. They will be detailed as outdoor rooms with attractive places to sit, stop, gather, and play. Restaurants uses will be situated along the widened sidewalks to provide opportunities for neighbors and visitors to meet one another, creating a vibrant community-oriented neighborhood experience. Unique plantings and furnishings also enhance this experience. Streets will be designed to incorporate street trees, curb extensions and special paved crosswalks. Trees within the concourses and streets coupled with drought-tolerant plantings will be used to help regulate climate, control storm water, cleanse air and water, and provide habitat. Mews will create a more pedestrian-friendly circulation system and will decrease the scale of building massing. A central pedestrian Piazza leads from Bayview Gardens and the BRT Plaza through the heart of the retail district to entertainment and dining located on Earl Street. This space will frame views of the adjacent hills and will provide a mix of both active and quiet spaces. Lined with varied retail offerings, this will be the setting for a rich diversity of programs from children's and public activities. Pedestrian spaces will be animated with a collection of kiosks, carts and smaller merchants to create the atmosphere of a European market. Paved with decorative paving, these spaces will be landscaped with rainwater gardens for bio-filtration of storm water runoff. Benches and seating will be oriented to create social spaces throughout the district. Fountains, fire pits, and a children's' play area will be provided to encourage visits by local families and residents. The buildings will be constructed with a range of scales and characters. Those along Harney Way and Ingerson Avenue will be larger and livelier, while others at the interior of the site and along pedestrian mews will have a more intimate scale and character. Buildings at pedestrian and vehicular intersections will have special architectural treatments that reinforce the street corner’s importance as a public realm April 17, 2015 6 of 13 Candlestick Point RFP element. This will be achieved through prominent corner entries, a change in massing or building scale, contrasting materials, or a change in building color. Individual stores will be designed to incorporate the iconic designs of national and international retailers, creating the diversity and visual energy of a vibrant urban place. Buildings will be carefully articulated to respect the pedestrian scale, enliven the sidewalk environment and create the diversity of experience found in successful urban neighborhoods. Retail building heights within the center vary between 21' and 35’, taller than at a conventional retail center and buildings along Harney Way and Ingerson Avenue will have a minimum height of 35'. Storefront designs are intended to produce the maximum design diversity and global branding will be incorporating interactive and graphic design criteria. All storefronts will have a minimum height of 15'. Residences are planned to add additional stories above the retail that will ultimately anchor the retail neighborhood within the context of the surrounding residential developments. The 4-level parking structure will be cut into the hillside to minimize its impact. Where it fronts the street, it will be screened using decorative panels or with sustainable features such solar panels for renewable energy production. The retail buildings present an opportunity for implementing strategies for treating storm water and for rainwater harvesting for landscaping irrigation. Projections, including awnings, canopies and signs, will animate the pedestrian character. Retailers will be strongly encouraged to provide signage that is artful and creative, adding visual interest to the street and complementing the overall building design. The premium outlet tenants will negotiate lease agreements with the Candlestick Center, LLC leasing team. Demise, design and construction of their stores will be managed by the Candlestick Center, LLC Tenant Coordination team. F.
