Dear Mr. Wallace:

Re: A tract of land known as Alexander Street

Park, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

In accordance with your request and for the purpose of estimating the market value of a fee simple

interest in the property above referenced and more particularly described within the report, we present the

following appraisal for your approval.

This is an Appraisal Report as defined by Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice

under Standards Rule 2-2(a). This format provides a summary or description of the appraisal process,

subject and market data and valuation analyses.

Based upon our visit to the subject property and investigations and analyses undertaken, we have

formed the opinion that, subject to the assumptions and limiting conditions set forth in this report, the

market value of the fee simple interest in the subject property "as is, as of February 19, 2026 (date of the

property visit)," is:

FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS

$550,000

The above value is net of $15,000 in capital outlays for rezoning costs.

The above value(s) are subject to the following extraordinary assumptions:

❑ The subject property is currently zoned A-2 (Single-Family Residential). It is an

extraordinary assumption of this report that the subject would be able to be rezoned to

allow for multifamily development without significant capital outlays or delays in

development.

The use of extraordinary assumptions affected the assignment results.

This letter must remain attached to the report, which contains 77 pages (from the appraisal

cover to the addendum) plus related exhibits, in order for the value opinion set forth to be considered

valid.

No hypothetical conditions were used in the preparation of this report. This appraisal report was

completed in accordance with the requirements of BREC, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal

Practice (USPAP), and the requirements set by the Office of the Comptroller of currency appraisal standards

as delineated by ruling 12 USC. 93a of title XI of the FIRREA, dated 1989. If we can be of further assistance

in this matter, please do not hesitate to call.
