Property Description

As a result of the closure of the Naval Training Center (”NTC”) Orlando, two (2) irregular shaped parcels of real property covering 176.81 acres has been identified for sale via public auction. For purposes of this offering, the site is being branded as the “Orlando Tradeport” (hereafter referred to as the “Property”). The Property is located four (4) miles from the Orlando Central Business District and on the west side of Orlando International Airport, with frontage on both Boggy Creek Road and 8th Street.Until January 2007, approximately 125 acres of the Property had been utilized as a municipal nine-hole golf course, with a driving range, putting green, clubhouse, cart storage building and maintenance sheds. Currently, the entire 177-acre Property is closed with no ongoing operations. The golf course was located on the north two-thirds of the Property. The remaining 52 acres are a combination of cleared land and naturally wooded land. The topography of the site is reasonably level to gently rolling. Small wetland areas are identified on a map, which may limit, but not preclude industrial and airport related development.The Property is currently zoned Public Use, and the future land use is Public/Recreational and Institutional. The Property is located within the planning and zoning jurisdiction of the City of Orlando. Preliminary discussions at this time with the City suggest a redevelopment preference toward PD Zoning with industrial uses.Note: Any future use of the property will be restricted to non-residential uses. All prospective bidders are responsible for conducting their own due diligence. Any potentially interested parties are requested to contact the City of Orlando for further inquiries and investigations into proposed development entitlements and prospective land uses.Orlando International Airport

Adjacent to the Property, the 14,000-acre Orlando International Airport features a 1,400-acre fully integrated cargo center. This cargo center:

1. Incorporates high-quality design criteria, intermodal transportation capacity and airside access to the airport;
2. Resides adjacent to two (2), 12,000-foot runways;
3. Rests at the crossroads of Central Florida’s major highway, rail and sea networks;
4. Provides 140 acres of cargo ramp, as well as truck-dock height, airside and street level access; and,
5. Offers the 205-acre “Foreign Trade Zone #42″ and a new, ultramodern USDA Plant Inspection Station/Perishables Center.

Additionally, the new cargo ramp was brought up to airport standards to amplify Orlando International’s ability to handle increasing cargo activity. Orlando International currently has over 500,000 square feet of cargo warehouse space, with aircraft parking available for up to 27 all-cargo aircraft.

Important Site and Environmental Related Disclosures (Revised: 10/23/07)

As depicted on the updated Landfill Boundary Map (prepared October 17, 2007), of the approximate 177 acres, a total of 114 acres is an inactive landfill (”McCoy Annex Landfill”), which operated from 1960 to 1978. The remaining 63 acres consist of approximately 21.5 acres, a majority of which is located along Boggy Creek Road, and approximately 41 acres scattered around the edges of the landfill. Certain land areas that lie outside the inactive landfill portion of the Property contain wetlands that most likely have an appreciable cover of muck or peat.

NOTE: The Property was extensively investigated in three phases from May 1997 through December 2001. As a result, all environmental mitigation measures are in-place. Responsibility for the ongoing environmental remediation monitoring and management, currently programmed through the year 2030, will be the sole and absolute responsibility of the Government.

Landfill operations consisted of excavating ditches (100 to 200 feet long by 20 to 25 feet wide by 10 to 15 feet deep) of approximately one (1) million cubic yards of landfill waste, which reportedly included paint and paint thinners, asbestos, transformers, hospital wastes, low level radiological waste, automobile batteries, steel cable, scrap metal, sections of pipe, aircraft parts, bricks, fire hoses, parachutes, yard waste, scrap wood, paper and plastic and possibly waste oil. The ditches were subsequently filled to within three or four feet of the ground surface and then backfilled with soil and seeded.

Please refer to the Project due diligence library for additional information surrounding environmental related matters and access to the environmental due diligence library.

Important Geotechnical Disclosures

The 114-acre inactive McCoy Annex Landfill portion of the Property may pose significant geotechnical-related limitations that will likely require extensive geotechnical studies and considerations in the event that a developer desires low-rise structures and paved areas (to include related structures such as buried storm and sanitary pipes). City of Orlando officials have stated that portions of the site over the original landfill would probably be considered non-buildable and limited in use to parking, yard storage or on-site accessibility. A 2001 Remedial Investigation Report indicates that testing of the depth of the cap was done in 1998 and that two feet of soil cover was placed over those portions of the former landfill deemed to have previously insufficient cover. The two-feet of new soil cover “cap” may be deemed reasonable and consistent for compatible industrial uses including parking, yard storage and on-site accessibility.

In addition to the landfill area, several areas of the Property contain wetlands, which may have severe to moderate limitations for development. The severity level is related to the likely presence of muck or peat, which may have to be removed and replaced with fill to allow supporting shallow foundations and surface parking.

Please refer to the Project due diligence library for additional information surrounding the Property including floodplain and remedial related matters.
