Josh Parker is a Partner and Principal with Cross Street Partners, a vertically integrated real estate development company exclusively focused on re-building communities by creating vibrant urban mixed-use neighborhoods built on a foundation of innovation and entrepreneurial activity. Mr. Parker joined the Baltimore, MD based firm co-found-ed by legendary real estate pioneer Bill Struever in June of 2015. Mr. Parker serves as the Lead Operating Partner where his responsibilities include Investment Strategy, Business Development, Corporate Administration and Oversight of Operating Divisions including Development, Construction, Property Management and Advisory Services.

Prior to joining Cross Street Partners, Mr. Parker was a Development Director for Wexford Science & Technology: A BioMed Realty Company. At Wexford Mr. Parker led development and investment activities for the firm in markets including St. Louis, MO and Research Triangle/Durham, NC. While at the company Mr. Parker participated in the transformation of Wexford’s legacy operation, building University Research Facilitates, into a platform creating University centered Knowledge Communities, highlighted by the Brookings Institution as a model in its study on the Rise of Innovation Districts. This visionary transformation of Wexford and subsequent merger with BioMed Realty Trust provided Mr. Parker a direct opportunity to develop ideas with some of the country’s best thought leaders in the innovation and entrepreneurial space alongside and with guidance from real estate veterans and mentors Jim Berens, Dan Cramer and Sandy Weeks.

After a stint as a production manager in New York theatre Mr. Parker began his real estate career in 2001 with Blue Devil Ventures on the development of West Village; a 500,000 adaptive reuse of former tobacco warehouses in Durham, NC. West Village sparked a revitalization in downtown Durham that has resulted in over $2B of public and private investment since West Village Phase I was completed. In 2004 he was appointed Director of Development with Niemann Capital. With Niemann, Mr. Parker led the development on a pipeline of over 3.5 million square feet of adaptive reuse and urban infill projects in Missouri, Rhode Island, Maine and North Carolina. At Blue Devil Ventures and Niemann Capital, Mr. Parker developed a number of innovative real estate projects that shaped his passion and enthusiasm for urban revitalization, community development and historic preservation.

In 2008, Mr. Parker saw opportunity in the real estate recession and started his own development firm, TBL Group, to focus on urban infill and historic adaptive reuse projects with a Triple Bottom Line approach. He consulted for a number of development companies looking to understand historic adaptive reuse and the available tax credit incentives that would allow for continued building in a tough economic climate. He led the development of projects in North Carolina and South Carolina be-fore joining the team at Wexford and bringing his North Carolina development, The Chesterfield, into the new firm.

Mr. Parker is committed to public service devoting significant time and energy as President of Preservation Durham and Trustee of The Duke School including serving as Treasurer and Chair of the Finance Committee. He ran unsuccessfully for Durham County Commission in 2008 where he has served on the Civic Center Authority Board and chaired the Cultural Advisory Board. Mr. Parker is a member of the Urban Land Institute. Mr. Parker is an active early stage investor targeting enterprise technology companies located in the Research Triangle area of NC. Josh’s father, who ran a school transportation system, at one time convinced him to be a substitute school bus driver, leading Josh to question his sanity and judgement while cranking up a bus at 4:30am in January.

Mr. Parker graduated from North Carolina Central University with a degree in Finance and a received a Diploma from the Commercial Theatre Institute in New York. He splits his time between Baltimore, Durham and row 1 of Southwest Airlines. Josh’s favorite role is Dad to a beautiful, smart and strong 3-year-old daughter.

Dayton ArcadeDayton, Ohio

Co-Developer Cross Street Partners Miller Valentine Group Architect Sandvick Architect, Inc CSP Role Co-Developer Project Type Mixed Use Residential Project Size 418,000 square feet Completion June 2018 Description of Project

Cross Street Partners (CSP) and Miller Valentine Group (MVG) are jointly developing the historic Dayton Arcade, a collection of five buildings totaling over 400,000 SF in the heart of downtown Dayton’s central business district. With the exception of a planned boutique hotel, the current development plan will recast the Arcade in much the same way in which it was initially developed in the first decade of the 20th century—with a mix of retail, offices, and housing. MVG and CSP seek to bring Low Income Housing Tax Credits, New Markets Tax Credits, state and Federal historic tax credits, and geothermal tax credits to the project.

The housing component consists of 125 units of affordable and market rate units for artists, financed with Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Collaborative office space will be located in and around a 90-foot glass rotunda at the heart of the 5 buildings. The ground floor of the Rotunda presents a unique opportunity to create an inspiring naturally-lit indoor event space. The 9,500 SF space will be accessible to the public, and be available for festivals, farmers’ markets, performances, community meetings, maker-faires, and other programmed events. Surrounding the Rotunda on the ground floor will be a mix of arts uses including galleries, retail space, and restaurants. The expansive basement floor is an ideal location for makerspace, artist studios, and specialized artist workshops, while restaurants, an art gallery, and other retail will be located in the ground-floor street-facing retail spaces.

The Arcade is part of a larger plan by the City of Dayton to bring residents, jobs, and visitors back to the downtown. Across the street from the Arcade is the future site of a new Levitt Pavilion—a free outdoor live music venue. The Levitt is at the center of a nine-block redevelopment strategy led by the City that builds on existing underutilized assets to build a premier downtown urban neighborhood centered around a central park. The restoration of the Arcade is now the highest priority for the City of Dayton, and it has its greatest potential, more so now than ever before, to be a center for innovation and force for economic development in downtown Dayton.

WaterView is the largest redevelopment ever undertaken in Baltimore County, Maryland. The re-development of this Sixty-Six acre site was awarded to Mark Building Company (MBC) through a competitive RFP process. Working closely with the County and our expert Consultants MBC de-signed and built this highly successful Award Winning Community. The Land Development Council of Maryland named WaterView the “Outstanding Community of the Year”. The Community includes a 175 Home TND, 110K SF Retail Center, and four individual Retail Buildings. MBC was also awarded the “Vision Award” from Baltimore County for “Positive impact on the community through innovative design, and creative land use”.

The Village of Bear Creek

Civil Engineer/Landscape Architecture – Colbert Matz Rosenfelt – BaltimoreArchitect – Shannon Comer Architects – BaltimoreBuilder/ Developer – Mark Bear Creek, LLC

Situated on a beautiful peninsula in one of the least desirable areas of Dundalk, MD. Mark Building created a upscale gated TND community of Thirty-Nine waterfront Townhomes. This infill site was an unbuildable parcel due to the elevation below the FEMA Flood Level. Mark Building raised the site 12 feet above the Flood Level, without encroaching on the Wet Land. The homes were sold in a record twelve months, at prices never imagined for Dundalk. The surrounding home values stagnant for years are now escalating.

Civil Engineer/Landscape Architecture – DMW – BaltimoreArchitect – Donald B. Ratcliffe Associates – BaltimoreDeveloper – The Rouse CompanyBuilder/Developer – The Mark Building Company

The Rouse Company developed the Village of Cross Keys as a prototype Village for the new City of Columbia, Maryland. Mark Building Company was chosen by The Rouse Company to complete the final parcel of land within the Village. The site was designed for a traditional 20’ wide Town-house product. However, Mark Building recognized the demand for a new luxury “Empty Nester” home with living on one level. This product had never been built in Baltimore City. Building fewer units enabled MBC to design a 57’ wide Townhouse Cluster. The community was sold out is 6 months. Home prices have more than doubled in value.

Storrs Town Center is a mixed-use development adjacent to the main campus of the University of Connecticut. The design takes inspiration from New England college town centers, providing retail, entertainment and other services for the town and university. A vibrant village street is anchored on both ends by two public squares. Built along a ridge, the quiet residential precinct offers townhouses and condos direct access to the woodland preserve.

A variety of outdoor venues for dining, celebrations, festivals, markets, concerts and informal gathering can be found throughout the plan. Every retail space was designed for a targeted use and a mixed offering of residential units (including urban lofts, apartments, condominiums, and town houses) created to provide broad market appeal.

UDA is assisting The Pittsburgh Penguins Hockey Organization in the creation of a comprehensive master plan to guide the development of a 28-acre site, part of which was occupied by the former Mellon Arena. Fifty years ago, a vibrant neighborhood was torn down to build the arena. A new arena has been built across the site leaving this site open for redevelopment. A new mixed-use development will replace current acres of parking with housing, offices, and retail, reuniting the Lower Hill District neighborhood with downtown Pittsburgh. UDA prepared the form based code and development guidelines for the new neighborhood and is currently refining the master plan with the Pen’s development consultant, Jones Lang LaSalle.

Currie Barracks, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Currie Barracks is the heart of a new, emerging center in Calgary, Alberta. Today, this cluster features Mount Royal University (home to 40,000 students) and conventional office parks surrounded by low-density neighborhoods. Over time, the plan will redevelop an adjacent military base into a compact, walkable neighborhood consisting of 6,300 residential units, a vibrant retail core, and nearly a million square feet of office, research, and development facilities. These developments will serve to anchor the economies of the district and the university together. Heritage buildings on site have and will continue to serve as institutional and start-up venture incubators, breathing life into the district even before build-out commences. Currie Barracks is connected to downtown via an enhanced, express bus service. It is also linked to the region’s vast open space and trail network through an interpretive multi-use trail system that commemorates the land’s past and celebrates its future. The district is LEED-ND Gold. Construction started in 2015.

West Don Lands Precinct and Block Plan, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Impact: Development of the area was accelerated because it was the site of the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games Athletes’ Village. Originally planned to be built out over 10 to 12 years in three phases, now most of the West Don Lands is completed. Remediation ef-forts are underway and construction of the main part of the area’s massive flood protection landform is nearly complete. Several of the area’s streets, including the Don River Park are constructed including the construction of Underpass Park. Construction has also started on the Toronto Community Housing Corporation complex, the area’s first affordable rental hous-ing building.

The West Don Lands, located in the southeast corner of Downtown, is envisioned as a new mixed-use precinct with an emphasis on urban living. The master plan was developed in a public process to understand the opportunities in the precinct. The project will inherit many of the unique qualities and characteristics of the precincts and neighborhoods surrounding it, yet it will be distinguished by a major new park on the Don River. This park is designed with flood control devices and is a critical component of the restoration of the Don River and the creation of a major continuous greenway for the City.

June 7, 2016 Dana Gauthier, C.P.M. Purchasing Representative Gainesville Regional Utilities 301 S.E. 4th Avenue Gainesville, FL 32601 RE: Solicitation # 2016-072 Dear Dana Gauthier: It is my pleasure to provide a professional reference on behalf of Larry Rosenberg of Cross Street Partners who is responding to the above referenced solicitation for the redevelopment of certain parcels located within the CRA’s Downtown Redevelopment Area. The proposed redevelopment project represents a significant opportunity for innovative and adaptive re-use in the Power District. The site offers an exciting opportunity to encourage private investment while maintaining the principles and community vision of the 2013 Redevelopment Plan. Such a plan will be accomplished by bringing in development partners that are experienced in adaptive reuse, appreciate and value the urban fabric, combine innovation with sustainability, and are respectful of the community’s vision while building on and maximizing the project’s fullest potential. In writing this recommendation, I wish to express my admiration for Mr. Rosenberg’s ability to be able to create opportunity and value in projects that others may overlook while delivering a successful project as promised. He possesses the necessary vision to see the potential of a development site and design and create projects that are creative, beautiful, sustainable, and financially viable. He is able to maximize and utilize local resources in a competent and adept manner. He knows how to overcome difficulties and barriers that may seem insurmountable while using practical and innovative approaches to get things done. In short, Mr. Rosenberg has an uncanny knack for turning underperforming sites into well performing sites, creating beautiful and sustainable communities, and turning challenges into opportunities; thus he has learned the art of making lemonade from lemons. In my capacity as the Chief of Community Planning and Development and then as Deputy Director for the Baltimore County Planning Department located in Towson, MD, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Mr. Rosenberg on the redevelopment of a former WWII apartment complex. Mr. Rosenberg, as the Principal of Mark Building Company, followed Baltimore County’s newly legislated Renaissance Development Regulations. Mr. Rosenberg gave input into the development of those regulations and then used the regulations to develop the plan and to build a mixed housing type and tenure on the former site of the apartment complex known as Kingsley Park. Mr. Rosenberg also proposed the development of a Pattern Book to be included in the regulations to then Planning Director Arnold “Pat” Keller, and then implemented the project to the: Pattern Book requirements that had been developed in collaboration with Baltimore County and the Design Collective, a private design company, in a community engagement process known as a charrette. Mr. Rosenberg used the Pattern Book as the technical reference in the design and plans for the new community to be developed known as Renaissance

Reference LetterLARRy ROSENbERg / CROSS STREET PARTNERS

Square. The site consists of mixed income owner occupied housing as well as affordable senior rental housing. The project used a combination of state, local, federal, and private resources, including tax credits, subsidies, land, and negotiated tax payments to develop the project. The resulting project has transformed the site and dramatically increased the property’s tax base because of the project. Mr. Rosenberg also demonstrated the ability to strictly adhere to the community’s vision and respect and value the community’s input. Mr. Rosenberg was also the builder on another successful redevelopment of the site of a former WWII apartment complex known as Riverdale Apartments. Mr. Rosenberg’s company, Mark Builders, worked closely with the County to redevelop the site into a new homeownership community. Known as Waterview, a New American Community, this walkable community combines traditional design with new urbanist principles. This project has contributed to the stabilization and revitalization of the gateway to Middle River, located in Eastern Baltimore County, an area with substantial access to water amenities in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The County has received numerous accolades and awards for the redevelopment effort and Mr. Rosenberg’s contribution to the project was pivotal and visionary. Mr. Rosenberg’s commitment to excellence in development is rivaled in his sincere compassion for the well-being of communities. It has been my pleasure to work with him on the Bethel Wellness and Empowerment Center Board of Directors. This project is a private sector effort to restore an historic building in the heart of an urban community while provided an incubator and brokerage of services that promote and encourage the wellness and empowerment of the residents in the adjacent communities. I am very impressed by Mr. Rosenberg’s philanthropy and sincere compassion and commitment to the community’s needs for a transformative presence in the community. In closing, let me add that Mr. Rosenberg’s creativity and innovative approaches, his ability to deliver a quality product based on a collaborative vision, his work with local, state, and federal partners, his ability to incorporate sustainability into the design and construction, and to assemble and manage complicated and sophisticated financing structures makes him and his development team excellent candidates for the redevelopment of the proposed development site. Please feel free to contact me at 410-326-6713 should you have any questions. Sincerely, Elizabeth S. Glenn Walnut Point, Essex, Maryland

To whom it may concern: Letter of Reference

I have worked closely with Ashley Glass on several projects and have found her level of professionalism to be superior.

Ashley is masterful in creating clear, concise and poignant presentations. She has the ability to stay focused and level-headed while working on challenging projects with tight deadlines. Her ‘can-do’ attitude and focus has helped on several projects to keep the team moving to meet demanding and time sensitive schedules. Her ability to manage multiple projects and meet quick turnaround deadlines at the same time is most valuable.

Ashley is knowledgeable and skilled in using the latest technology. Her strong computer skills enable her to capture project details and create a clear vision for the community.

She understands the needs and requirements of state and local governmental agencies. Her background working for state agencies has contributed to her overall effectiveness. I admire Ashley, not only for her technical skills, but for her deep commitment to improving communities and helping people.

I highly recommend Ashley as a Project Manager. Please contact me if you need additional information. You can reach me at 410-419-5426 or by email at [email protected]
