Leasing one-quarter of this space at our portfolio average shop rent of $20 per square
foot could generate approximately $.03 per share of FFO

DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE

A CASE STUDY IN RISK MITIGATION:  EDDY STREET COMMONS

$200 million mixed-use development near the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, IN will be
completed in phases

$70 million Phase I, which will include retail, office and multifamily, was only recently added to
the Visible Shadow Pipeline

Three goals were set and accomplished before significant capital would be spent:

One, the land was fully entitled with a planned unit development designation

Two, final municipal and state approvals were received for significant TIF incentives

Three, negotiations with the University of Notre Dame on final deal structure were completed

Joint venture arrangements for multi-family and hotel components will be utilized to mitigate risk
and maximize expertise

Additional land for residential units will be acquired from the university at our discretion
and based solely on residential market demand
