for the properties located at 200 Linden,212 Baden,and 216 Baden Avenue (APNs 012334130,012334160,
012334030 and 012334040). (Ron Gerber, Economic Development and Housing Manager)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Successor Agency and City adopt a Resolution Approving an Exclusive
Negotiating Rights Agreement (ENRA)between the South San Francisco Successor Agency,the City of
South San Francisco and Hisense Real Estate (USA),LLC for the properties located at 200 Linden,212
Baden,and 216 Baden Avenue (APNs 012334130,012334160,012334030 and 012334040),subject to
approval by the Oversight Board on the sale price.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of South San Francisco’s Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP),as approved by the
California Department of Finance in November 2015,outlines the permissible uses for the various former
Redevelopment Agency’s properties.The LRPMP establishes that the properties located at 200 Linden Avenue,
and 212 and 216 Baden Avenue (collectively referred to as 200 Linden)be assembled with the intent of
developer acquisition and development consistent with a redevelopment plan.This 0.72 acre property is located
in the heart of the Downtown,with convenient access to the 101 highway,bus routes,the Caltrain station,and
has significant development potential.
On December 4,2015,staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ)for the disposition of the properties
consistent with the disposition contained in the LRPMP.A pre-submittal meeting and site visit was held on
January 22,2016,and submittals were due February 3,2016.The City received responses from seven
developers which included land uses such as mixed use condominiums,market rental housing,affordable
housing, a hotel and a boutique hotel.
On April 11,2016,the Joint Housing Subcommittee (Subcommittee)met to review the seven developer RFQ
submittals.In an RFQ process,the primary emphasis is on reviewing experience,price and financial capacity.
Once a preferred developer is selected,then a specific development concept can be refined during the Exclusive
Negotiation phase.The Subcommittee did also note during their evaluation the various development concepts
being proposed (from residential to hotel)as well as the envisioned building height,commercial space,and
other related considerations.
Upon reviewing the Price and Terms,the Subcommittee recommended to the Successor Agency that four of the
seven developers (BayRock,Proferian,RAM,and OMNI Investments)be shortlisted for further consideration.
On May 11,2016,the Successor Agency approved this shortlist for the Oversight Board’s consideration at the
May 17,2016 meeting.The Oversight Board concurred with the Subcommittee and Successor Agency’s
shortlist recommendation.
The four shortlisted developers were asked to provide a “Best and Final”price offer as well as their Total
Development Costs (TDC)for consideration.The shortlisted developers were then interviewed to further
City of South San Francisco Printed on 11/3/2016Page 1 of 3

File #:16-822,Version:1
Development Costs (TDC)for consideration.The shortlisted developers were then interviewed to further
understand their experience and development concept.Prior to the scheduled interviews,one of the shortlisted
developers,Proferian,withdrew their application due to concerns about construction costs.On June 23,2016,
the Subcommittee interviewed the three remaining developers,and then met in closed session to review Price
and Terms as well as the Total Development Costs.The Subcommittee requested additional confidential
information from two of the three developers.
On July 25,2016,the Subcommittee convened again to review the developers’responses.The Subcommittee
reached a consensus that RAHM Investments and Omni Investments be recommended to the Successor Agency
for interview and consideration.
On August 10,2016,the Agency and Subcommittee interviewed the two developers.RAHM Investments and
Omni Investments gave short presentations and were asked follow-up questions.The Agency and
Subcommittee then met in closed session to discuss and consider the price and terms of the two offers.Omni
Investments was recommended as the preferred developer.The preference for this developer was based on the
fact that Omni Investments presented the Successor Agency with the highest price and a condo development
versus rental.
Finally,the Oversight Board convened on September 20,2016,to review the Successor Agency’s
recommendation and confirmed their selection with Omni’s concept being the highest and best proposal.
It should be noted that following the selection of Omni Investments,the developer has been renamed and is
now known as Hisense Real Estate (USA), LLC (“Hisense”).
Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement (ENRA)
Since the selection of Hisense,staff has been working closely with the developer on negotiating an ENRA.The
purpose of the ENRA is to establish procedures and standards for the negotiation between the Agency/City and
Hisense in order to reach a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA).Key business points that are contained in the
ENRA include the following.
·Deposit:A $300,000 deposit will be required upon execution of the ENRA.If the City chooses to
terminate the ENRA or PSA agreement with Hisense due to non-performance,$250,000 of the deposit
will be refunded.Should Hisense choose to terminate the ENRA due to Agency/City non-performance,
100%of the deposit will be refunded. The deposit will become applicable to the purchase price.
·Term:The ENRA is set initially at seven months with the ability to extend by up to 60 days for a
payment of $25,000.
·Hisense to finalize and provide the City with a statement of their corporate structure ahead of the ENRA
expiration.
·The developer will be required to submit a pro-forma as well as proof of financing and equity,ahead of
the ENRA expiration.
·Good faith efforts to secure Letters of Interest (LOIs)from desired tenants.In their interviews on
August 10,2016,Hisense noted that a drug store or a grocery store would likely be secured as a tenant
for the ground floor retail.During the ENRA period,the City requests that the developer work in good
faith to secure interest from potential new tenants.
Next Steps
If the Successor Agency approves the ENRA,staff and the developer will present the ENRA to the Oversight
Board on November 22,2016,for their approval of the sale price.If approved,the ENRA will be executed and

Board on November 22,2016,for their approval of the sale price.If approved,the ENRA will be executed and
the developer will have the ability to move forward with the negotiation of a Purchase and Sale Agreement and
securing entitlements.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that the Successor Agency and City Resolution Approving an Exclusive Negotiating Rights
Agreement (ENRA)between the South San Francisco Successor Agency,the City of South San Francisco and
Hisense Real Estate (USA),LLC for the properties located at 200 Linden,212 Baden,and 216 Baden Avenue
