. located in. parts of North 1st Street' and North "G" Street,.. Town. of La'
Porte, Harris County, Texas.
Dear Rene:
In accordance with your request, I have inspected the following describe<i
prop_~rty for the purpose of estimating the Market Value following described
property as of the. date of this letter in fee simple title. As per our agreement,
the data and analysis is presented in a brieffonuat and the report does deviate
from the USPAP as permitted upon agreement between client and appraiser.
B./lEEF LEGAL .lJESC./lEPrION OF PHOPEH7r
Known as portions of alleys in Blocks 349, 351,& 352 and portions of a street
right of way located in a portion of North 1st Street (60' X 860') lying between
the south right of way line of North "H" Street and the north right of way line
of Barbour's Cut Blvd and also the portion ofNorth"G" Street (60' X 592')
lying between the easternmost right of way line of 2nd Street and the western
most right of way line of North Broadway, Town of La Porte, Harris County
Texas. (see map in addenda).
I hereby certify that I have personally inspected the property described via a
street inspection and that all data gathered by my investigation is from
sources believed reliable and true. In preparing this letter of opinion, a study
of comparable sales and other related market data was performed.
\,:--
.....Page 2 Continued......
It should clearly be understood that this letter only constitutes only a
statement of the final value and that does not presume to be the complete
analysis of the subject property nor a complete appraisal and is subject to the
preparation of a complete self-contained report.
The market values in the subject neighborhood appear to vary generally from
+-$0.75 PSF to over $7.00 PSF for tracts generally similar to the subject
property with locations that range from primary to secondary type roadways.
The adjacent "parent tracts" consists of sites which appear to range from 1.29
acres to 2.42 acres of land that is located either on the west line of North
Broadway Street or Barbour's Cut Blvd. The site is reported to have public
utilities per your office. The site appears to be generally flat and level and is
assumed not have any adverse site or environmental conditions. The site is
currently occupied by a container shipping facility. The Highest and Best Use
.of the subject property is determined to. be for industrial development. The
. intended user of this apprai~al istl1~.City ~fLaPorte only, The i~te~ded use.
is to determine the estimated market value of the subject property. There has
been no transfer of the subject property noted for the past 36 months per
appraisal district records. The effective date of the appraisal is December 28,
2004. The effective date of the report is December 30, 2004. The estimated
exposure time is 12 months.
After a review of the comparable sales it is my opinion the estimated unit
value. range of between $1.50 to $3.00 PSF would be placed on the subject
property with a mid-range value of $2.25 PSF being indicated for the parent
tract. Therefore the unit market. value of the subject tract is estimated at
$2.~5 PSF whkh is based on 100% fee simple ownerslUp with 1W disoounWlg
applied .
