Roberts Management Group, LLC 1851 Buerkle Road | White Bear Lake, MN 55110 (651) 773-3485 | FAX: (651) 773-3490 Dear Mr. Streff We are finishing Phase I of the Lexington Station Re-Development project and beginning preliminary work on Phase II . I am looking for ways to relocate the tenants that will be displaced by Phase II of our project. It I my goal to try and retain our tenants as well as the jobs those businesses provide in the community. I have recently entered into purchase agreements on what was formerly known as the Travers Business Center. Which is an approx. 29 acre site at 4200 Round Lake Road. You will also find enclosed a potential site plan depicting 2 industrial buildings totaling 225,740 Sq. Ft. Both would be high quality industrial building housing a wide variety of businesses. LAND USE The larger building would be a multi tenant building industrial building for larger tenants averaging 20% office (with some tenants having more and some having less). The remainder of the space would be used for a variety of purposes including manufacturing, production, retail sales/service, and warehouse. The smaller building would be very similar in nature but the percentage of office could run a bit lower. Most small bay tenants are not looking for large office areas but rather smaller office and larger production space. As stated above both buildings would serve as a home to a variety of business some which might include office, the manufacturing and production of goods, warehousing goods and, due to the exposure, there is the possibility we would see some showroom type tenants and retail services/goods type tenants as well. BUILDING DESIGN I also included several photographs of buildings depicting the types of construction and materials that would be used during construction. The larger building would be between 25’ and 30’ tall (as opposed to the smaller building which might be between 20’ and 25’) to allow tenants to be able to maximize the use of their space by being able to store products vertically. Also, the higher building would give a very prominent look to the entire project as seen from the interstate system. We are very excited to have the opportunity to do another high quality project in the city of Arden Hills and I very much appreciate the visibility that part of Arden Hills will gain. Because of this visibility and exposure it is our plan to design the buildings and use materials that will be of a high quality to give the sense of a high quality development. The buildings will be constructed of Tip-Up concrete panels chosen for their attractiveness, efficiency and longevity. Brick and/or decorative metal would be used to accent the building and to give a level of depth sophistication and to provide focal points for entryways and corners of the building. It is our
