PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE:

As stated previously, Harrison and Lear, Inc. is a diversified real estate company with leasing, development, and property management departments and nearly 60 years of experience in serving the real estate needs of Hampton Roads.

The Investment and Development Departments were formed in 1964 to find, acquire and develop property. Over the last 49 years, 25 partnerships and corporations have been formed with approximately 591 investors. These partnerships have purchased and developed over 3,000 acres in residential subdivisions, multi-family communities, office buildings, an industrial park and a shopping center on the Peninsula. It would be our intention, if chosen as the developer, to form a partnership and syndicate the project as it is developed.

The company not only has the capacity to develop residential subdivisions and multi-family communities but also commercial properties. Harrison and Lear, Inc., has built and actively manages 12 apartment communities and 863 apartments, primarily located in Hampton. The company currently manages 2,539 single family detached, townhouse and condominium units along with 125 single family homes located in communities in Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson and York County. Management of 42,400 sq.ft. of commercial properties throughout the area rounds out the portfolio of our property management department.

FINANCIAL CAPABILITY:

The financial capabilities of Harrison and Lear are demonstrable by the fact that it has done and continues to do successful projects of varying size and scope on the Peninsula and in the surrounding areas.

Over the past 60 years, Harrison & Lear has continually worked to build strong relationships with local lenders, builders, contractors and local government officials to facilitate smooth flow and completion of development projects. This is certainly evidenced by the completion of our many development projects both in York County and Hampton. The Running Man subdivision comprised of 615 lots which has been entirely developed by various partnerships formed under the direction of Tommy Thompson and Harrison & Lear. It is our strong commitment to the community in which we develop that has allowed us to gain the support we receive and build the working relationship we have developed with many of the officials in various Hampton Roads municipalities. Our relations with institutional investors, private equity funds and local financial institutions coupled with our experience in syndication of similar projects make us confident that we can syndicate and secure financial backing for this proposed project.
