INVESTMENTHIGHLIGHTS EXTREMELY VALUABLE ENTITLEMENTS IN PLACE The Property is entitled for fifty (50) luxury condominiums in Phases II and III of an existing project. Phase I, consisting of 28 units, was completed in 2010. All discretionary approvals have been acquired. Only ministerial building permits and improvement plans are left to obtain before vertical construction may begin. In Placer County and especially near Lake Tahoe, obtaining approvals for new residential projects in alpine settings can often be very difficult, expensive and time consuming. The Constellation project represents an opportunity to build a signature project without going through the difficult entitlement process; the heavy lifting and political work has already occurred. MID-MOUNTAIN SKI-IN / SKI-OUT LOCATION The project is located in a premium mid-mountain location at the top of the new Highlands Express Gondola and is physically connected via skybridge to the Ritz-Carlton Resort, which was completed in 2010. Being mid-mountain allows residents to immediately access a ski run descent or a chair lift up the mountain. This location was chosen by the development team at the Ritz-Carlton for its specific ability to take advantage of the ski terrain and capture the exceptional views of the surrounding region. RITZ-CARLTON CONNECTION = ULTIMATE LUXURY & AMENITIES The Property is the only development at Northstar to enjoy a physical connection to the legendary Ritz-Carlton Resort.
