PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Canyon Bluffs development is located in the southwest quadrant of the City of Spokane
in Washington State. The neighborhood is currently known as the "South Hill" area. The
subject site is bordered by upper-end custom-built homes in a well-established residential
community.
Driving time from the site to the center of downtown is approximately five (5) minutes. The
site has a panoramic view of the mountains and is easily accessible from the two nearby
north-south (Hwy 195) and east-west freeways (Hwy 190). Driving time to the Spokane
airport and Fairchild Air Force base is about 10 minutes.
The project has residential zoning and full P.U.D. approval for 793 units of residential
housing, including apartments, townhomes, condominiums and single-family homes, both for
rent and sale.
The Final Map is recorded for the entire property and divides the land into seventeen (17)
parcels. The project is planned to be built in four (4) or five (5) separate phases, with
apartment buildings or for sale homes. All streets within the development are private.
The Development Agreement and the project approvals, also allow the developer to set his
own phasing and determine how many units and types should be built at any one time.

consisting of two (2) additional buildings with 24 apartments in each building. Plans are fully
completed and the City has issued all the building permits. All utilities are available to the
building site and all the required notices for the impending project have been posted. The
construction of the 48 unit apartment project is scheduled to start September of 2012. The
HUD 221-d4 loan is amount is $3,756,100 committed with a 40 year fixed interest rate lock at
3.18%.

The Homeowners Association for the entire Canyon Bluffs PUD was formed several years
ago and is operational. The Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions were approved, recorded
with the County Recorder’s Office and bind all the parcels in the Canyon Bluffs PUD. The
developer still controls the HOA.
Description of Clubhouse:
There is a Stunning 10,000-sq. ft. state of the art two story Clubhouse, located at the entrance
to the Canyon Bluffs development on Westwood Drive, a few yards beyond the Thorpe Road
entrance - opposite the bus stop turn around.
This clubhouse and recreation center provides numerous one-of-a-kind amenities such as a
racquetball/basketball court, a weight lifting and exercise aerobics center, and a Dry heat
thermostat controlled Sauna, a very large tiled Whirlpool facility with shower and a private
sun-tanning room. A communications room that houses the cable TV, internet and telephone
cables, wires and electronics; a mechanical and pool equipment room; an elevator equipment
room and a storage and electrical room complete the plethora of elements and functions found
in the Clubhouse complex. There are lockers in the men and women’s bathroom, together
with showers and changing areas in the lower floor facility - additional bathrooms for both
men and women are also available on the top floor. Convenient vending machines are easily
accessible to all attendees at the lower level
In addition to the athletic amenities, the clubhouse provides social entertaining and daily
recreational activities. There are also social gatherings, celebrations, events, meetings and
conferences organized by residents, staff and community organizations.
On the upper floor, there is also a hi-tech, large screen video and surround sound theater and
community meeting room. A computer is available for the residents’ use, near the entrance to
the spacious social room and fireplace, where they gather and congregate in a casual and
elegant setting – a spacious and comfortable Pool room is very popular and a commercial
grade elevator is available for individuals that have difficulty using the convenient staircase
that provides access to the amenities located on the lower level
Complementing the interior amenities, there is an elegant outdoor swimming pool,
surrounded by professionally designed multi-level decks and a patio – BBQ anyone? The
entire area is landscaped with native trees, selected plants, rock outcroppings, waterfalls and
attractive night lighting.
A fully equipped workshop located at the end of the lower level houses the necessary
supplies, equipment; tools and parts needed to maintain the apartment buildings and all other
on site facilities – video cameras inside and on the exterior of the Clubhouse constantly record
and save 24/7 all activities that take place around the clock.
The spacious administrative and leasing offices to the left of the front entry to the Clubhouse,
serve prospective and current residents.

Description of Future Phases:
Townhomes: The City of Spokane has approved the development and construction of 32
townhomes in two separate locations of the property. The final subdivision map and the
building plans are completed and construction can begin at the developer’s discretion.
Apartments: The next apartment phase contemplated by the developer could consist of 100
or more units of adult housing. The improvements will feature locally Themed 5 story
buildings with a parking garage and surface parking. Elevators that access every level will be
a welcome feature for this segment of the market. The Apartments will enjoy panoramic
views of the valley, privacy, closeness to the state of the art medical facilities, hospitals and
clinics found a few minutes away catering to the retired, senior market, a bus stop at the
entrance to the Community and the nearby walking trails that provide access to parks and
other destination places as far away as Idaho and Montana. The floor plans, finishes,
appliances, details, components and mix will be based upon the experience gained from
anticipated regional demographics and the needs of the existing rental market.
Site Description:
The main entry road to this 82-acre Plan Unit Development (PUD) is Westwood Road, a
private road, which connects to Thorpe Road, the main East West access to the region and
State Hwy 90 – a couple of blocks away. All the streets in the project are private and are
maintained through the oversight of the Canyon Bluffs Homeowners Association.
There is a Northerly secondary entrance and exit to the PUD, off Canyon Woods Lane and
16th Street, leading through the existing Canyon Bluffs single family residential community
that is a part of the entire approved PUD development.
In addition to the attractive landscaping that has been designed for this specific site, taking
into consideration its location, weather, soil type and circulation; the grounds feature trails
and walking paths, for the residents’ enjoyment. Native trees, carefully selected shrubs and
plants, together with aesthetic rock placements created a very inviting and appealing "parklike" atmosphere.
Special Features:
The Canyon Bluffs development features a consolidated communication wired community
with broadband and high-speed Internet access, data transfer, video delivery and telephone.
This technology is state-of-the-art information and electronic services provided by Comcast

The paths that are designed and built on the Canyon Bluffs PUD site connect with an existing
trail that is known as the Centennial Trail, which is planned to connect Spokane with parks,
recreational facilities and towns as far as Idaho, Montana and the southern and western
portions of Washington State.

429 units.
A new Canyon Bluffs Two LLC has a 48 unit project approved and ready to build with permits. That

remainder of the property.
There is an agreement in place between Canyon Bluffs One LLC and Feature Realty for use of the
Club House constructed in the initial 192 unit phase one. This allows for additional economies of scale
in leasing, management and community to be built into the project as additional phases are
constructed and completed.
Seller will consider staying as partner in the land portion of the deal for a portion of the
equity, and acting as the contractor for future phases or any combination thereof.
