INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
   VIBRANT & GROWING CITY
   - Calgary is the heart of the energy sector in Canada and has a disproportionately large amount of head offices per
   capita. It is a powerhouse in terms of job, population and income growth, and is greatly outpacing other major North
   American cities in terms of housing starts, household incomes, and ability to attract and retain corporate head offices.

   - Calgary is a dynamic city that is growing quickly and shifting its identity from small prairie city to a cosmopolitan centre
   that is a major player in both North America and the global economy.

   ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE
   - Calgary is Canada’s fourth largest city at 1.2M people, and has a medium-growth projected population of 1.45M by 2017.
   - Calgary boasts the highest personal income per capita at $58,314, far above the Canadian average of $36,138.
   - Calgary had the third highest employment growth in 2013 at 2.9%, and the second lowest unemployment rate, at 4.9%.
   - GDP growth is expected to lead the country for 2014 at 3.4%, and is projected to continue leading the country
   through to 2017.

   EAST VILLAGE
   - East Village is a mixed-use, master-planned urban village that will be unique to the City of Calgary. East Village is in a
   state of urban revitalization which began in 2007, and has seen over $325 million in infrastructure improvements and
   commitments levied from a Tax Increment Financing model. Improvements range from raising roads out of the flood-
   plain, to providing upgraded district energy and energy-efficient lighting, and using resilient and beautiful materials for
   sidewalks, roads and park spaces. Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (“CMLC”) has created a high quality public
   realm for new residents and everyone to live, work and play in.

   - East Village will be connected to Stampede Park and the Beltline via the 4th Street Underpass, and the neighbour-
   hood will be home to Calgary’s New Central Library, the National Music Centre, and beautiful and useable riverfront
   parks connected to high quality park space on St Patrick’s Island.

   - Construction has already begun on two major mixed-use residential projects that will provide more than 600 river-view
   condominiums. Once fully built-out, East Village is expected to be home to approximately 11,500 people. Three phases
   of RiverWalkTM, a pedestrian/bike path on the banks of the Bow River, have opened the riverfront from Centre Street to
   the Simmons Building. Municipal, Provincial and Federal funding has been secured for the construction of the National
   Music Centre around the site of the historic King Eddy Hotel and construction commenced in February 2013. A major
   public art program will bring significant installations to the community, and East Village has set its sights to be the centre
   of arts and culture in the city.

   EXCELLENT OFFICE & RETAIL MARKET
   - Current projections show that by 2016, Calgary’s downtown will be the second largest downtown office inventory by
   size second only to Toronto. This will mean Calgary will have more downtown office inventory than Montreal which is
   currently has the second. This is a staggering fact considering Calgary has a population of approximately 1.2 million,
   versus Montreal’s 3.8 million in the metro.

   - Calgary’s retail sales per capita are by far the highest for any major Canadian city at over $20,000 per annum, com-
   pared to the national average of $14,000 per annum.

CANTOS
                                                     In May 2008, following a competitive bidding process, CMLC selected
                                                     a partner for the project: Cantos Music Foundation, whose vision is to
                                                     incorporate the King Eddy Hotel into the 160,000 sq. ft. National Music
                                                     Centre (NMC) – an architectural icon that will straddle 4th Street SE. In
                                                     2010, restoration and environmental remediation work began in the hotel;
                                                     and as part of the construction of NMC, interior/exterior restoration is on-
                                                     going. Construction of the NMC began in February 2013, with completion
                                                     expected in late 2015. Getting the National Music Centre to select Calgary
                                                     is a big step for the Arts and Culture industry for the city, and will have a
                                                     major positive impact on this budding sector. It further serves to aid Calgary
                                     CANTOS          as the city begins to evolve into an arts and culture hub in Canada.

CENTRAL LIBRARY
The City of Calgary recently released the chosen site for the new Central
Library which will be located one block east of City Hall and East Village.
The library will serve Calgary’s growing population, the 120,000+ work-
ers who travel downtown every day, and over 45,000 students attending
educational institutions in Calgary.

The new building will provide approximately 286,000 sq. ft. of usable
library space – 66% more than the existing downtown library. The new
Central Library will be a multi-faceted family destination and gathering
place with a physical collection of approximately 600,000 books, spe-
cial programs and spaces for children and teens, a technology com-
mons and laboratory for innovation, and a centre that supports inclusive
                                                                                 CENTRAL LIBRARY
community integration and advancement through skills development. It
will be an integral part of the East Village and will be yet another desti-
nation drawing people from around the city into the neighbourhood.

                                                  RIOCAN URBAN RETAIL CENTRE
                                                  In April 2013, RIOCAN – Canada’s largest Real Estate Investment Trust –
                                                  purchased the former CPA lands (Gateway Block) in East Village for the
                                                  purpose of developing a unique urban retail centre. Bounded by 5th and 6th
                                                  Avenue and 3rd and 4th Street SE, the 2.75-acre site is slated for around
                                                  300,000 sq ft of retail space as well as office uses.

                                                  “We are excited about the opportunity the East Village development represents,
                                                  and the chance to expand RioCan’s urban property portfolio into Western
                                                  Canada,” said Edward Sonshine, CEO of RioCan. “Calgary is an important
                                                  market to us and this urban shopping centre will provide an exciting shopping
                                                  destination for new and existing residents in Calgary’s unique urban village.”

                                                  RIOCAN has indicated that grocery, home improvement and general merchan-
                                                  dise are important retail categories for its East Village development. Lease ne-

                                                         lighting installations are state-of-the-art, and provide an interesting
                                                         focal point while entering the neighbourhood. It provides a much

      THE PROJECT & OPPORTUNITY
      EAST VILLAGE
      Created in 2007 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of The City of Calgary, Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC)
      is a for-profit, land development organization which was established to realize the Rivers District Revitalization
      Plan. The Rivers District Revitalization Plan which creates the framework to facilitate the reclamation, redevelop-
      ment and revitalization of Calgary’s east end of Downtown, east of Calgary Cit Hall called the East Village.

      East Village sits on 49 acres on the eastern edge of downtown Calgary. The neighbourhood is bordered by the
      Bow River on the north, 9th Avenue SE on the south, 3rd Street SE on the west and by Fort Calgary on the east.
      Since 2007, East Village has been undergoing an exciting transformation, and is considered to be one of North
      America’s most ambitious urban redevelopment strategies in recent decades.

      In 2009, CMLC unveiled the master plan for East Village which outlined a master-planned, mixed-use, amenity-rich
      community which would be home to 11,500 future residents in 3,900 condominium and townhome units. The
      community will offer key features found in popular urban neighbourhoods like pedestrian friendly streets, public
      gathering places, green spaces and parks, unique architecture and integration of the waterfront in the community.

Q Block | 14
THE DEVELOPMENT
In February 2011, CMLC inked a second major land development deal in East Village with Ontario-based FRAM
Building Group and Slokker Real Estate Group (FRAM+Slokker). The team is enhanced with the addition of Tricon
Capital Group Inc. – Canada’s leading provider of institutional capital for major residential development projects.

Valued at $300 million, the project (Q Block) will see approximately 600,000 sq. ft. of mixed-use, multi-family devel-
opment in East Village. It will include four development parcels situated along the river’s edge and near Fort Calgary.
The Verve and Q Block development is a very innovative, mixed-use development that will include rooftop amenity
spaces, a high-quality pedestrian mall and plaza space, dissecting the block diagonally. It is a one of a kind project
that will be a critically important block in the East Village. It has great connectivity to amenities in the Downtown and
Inglewood, as well as direct access to newly improved park spaces on St Patrick’s Island and at Fort Calgary.

                                                   Q2

PAST EXPERIENCE

                SHOPS AT DON MILLS - TORONTO

     This multi-use development will support the newly constructed 500,000+ s.f. Shops at Don Mills retail/office
     development of Cadillac Fairview. In partnership with Cadillac Fairview for the Residences at Don Mills, this de-
     velopment will add approximately 1100 residential units to an area of 35 acres (including the Shops of Don Mills)
     – which will include six new condominium buildings and a conversion of an office building into a condominium.
     Within the residential component, an additional 80,000 s.f. of retail/office will be added to the bases of those
     buildings.

     The project flows from high density mid-rise on the periphery to a high rise condominium at the centre
     of the development. This development is anchored by a public park along the periphery and a privately
     owned public square that will become the centre of the urban village. The project has garnered significant
     ratepayer support for an intensification adding residential to redeveloped retail and office density, utilizing a long
     series of design workshops to achieve an agreed solution. The solution includes a public/private partnership in a
     40,000 sq. ft. community centre. This project will require the creation of 8 condominium corporations, (7 resi-
     dential and 1 commercial), with multiple facility sharing agreements including underground parking access and
     landscaping management. Parking structures provide residential, retail and municipal parking.

SECTION III

     MARKET OVERVIEW

      CANADIAN OVERVIEW
      Global economic activity was stronger leading into the end of 2013, showing signs of growth and confidence that
      are projected to carry into 2014. The United States posted stronger than expected employment and income gains
      in the third quarter of 2013; consequently, the Federal Reserve trimmed its bond-buying program by $10.0 billion
      a month, from $85.0 billion to $75.0 billion. U.S. GDP growth is expected to accelerate into 2014; forecasts have
      improved, projected at 1.8% for 2013 and 2.5% for 2014. The unemployment rate stands at 6.7% following a dismal
      December, as lower than expected job growth numbers were reported for the month. The positive outlook for the
      U.S. in 2014 will be driven by the upturn in private consumption, residential construction and private investment;
      both neighboring countries, Canada and Mexico, are expected to benefit from these improved market conditions.

                                                                                           Excluding Brazil, the Eurozone

                                                                                           continues on the current 0.8%
      inflation rate, which stands 120 basis points below the 2.0% target rate. The Bank of Canada’s governor, Stephen
      Poloz, continued to hold the target overnight rate at 1.0%. This policy will remain in place if inflation remains mut-
      ed and imbalances in the household income to debt ratios continue to improve. CPI inflation rose 1.0% year-over-
      year for November, missing the target rate of 2.0% by 100 basis points. With inflation expectations well anchored,
      both core and total CPI inflation are expected to slowly return to the 2.0% rate.

      Employment gains in 2013 were disappointing as Canada had the
      slowest December year-over-year growth rate since 2009, adding
      a merely 102,000 jobs or 0.6% over 12 months. Employment fell
      by 46,000 jobs in the month of December, increasing the unem-
      ployment rate by 0.3% to 7.2%. The Canadian GDP growth rate
      for 2013 has been adjusted to 1.8% and forecasts for 2014 have
      increased to 2.4%. Canadian growth in 2014 will be determined by
      the approval of key export pipeline projects. The oil and gas sector
      currently accounts for 25.0% of Canadian exports, and could ex-
      pand if Canada gains access to the Asian market through the pro-
      posed pipeline projects along the West Coast and Atlantic Canada.

Q Block | 24
The Canadian economy is anticipated to benefit from the positive outlook on the United States in 2014. The cyclical
recovery of the U.S and a possible softening of the Canadian dollar will allow Canada to benefit through exports. The
Canadian dollar will likely fluctuate around the low to mid-90¢ (U.S) range in 2014; this is expected to increase foreign
demand for Canadian exports and reduce Canada’s $120.0 billion non-commodity trade deficit.

U.S housing starts jumped to 1.1 million units annualized in November and is expected to increase to 1.4 million units
by 2015. Construction starts for the Canadian housing market cooled down in 2013, slowing to 188,200 units. The
outlook for 2014 shows housing starts further declining to 180,000 units; as several developers pull back projects to
allow demand to catch up with supply, with Alberta being the exception.

ALBERTA MARKET OVERVIEW
According to forecasts by RBC economics, Alberta will lead the
country in real GDP with expected growth of 3.9% in 2014 and
3.5% in 2015. Capital investment into the already strong energy
sector has been the driving force fueling Alberta’s economic activity.
Approvals on proposals to build several key pipelines that are critical
for Alberta to efficiently get oil and gas to market have yet to materi-
alize, but progress does continue albeit slowly.

Alberta has seen a surge in manufacturing output, mostly to meet
the needs of the energy sector domestically but also to supply the
demand for machinery and other products tied to the oil and gas
industry in the US and abroad.

The average Albertan has a considerably higher disposable income than their counterparts in other provinces, which in
conjunction with low sales taxes have driven healthy retail sales growth. Alberta is going through another period of rap-
id population growth particularly in Calgary and Edmonton. This is driven not only from elevated levels of migrants from
other provinces, but also from capturing a increasing percentage of Canada’s new incoming international immigrants.

CALGARY ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
     Calgary’s economy has been on a roll, with over 4% GDP growth over the last 3 years. The devastating June floods of 2013
     curbed GDP growth to 3.4%, but still Calgary outperformed other major Canadian cities. Recent forecasts suggest that
     Calgary and Edmonton will continue to outpace other major Canadian centres through to 2020-2021.

     The flood of 2013 dampened housing starts and construction activity. Total number of housing units dropped by 5.6% in
     2013, however 2014 will see a marked increase as the housing market is on excellent footing due to record in migration
     numbers and pent up demand. The forecast for 2014 is expected to beat 2007 numbers at over 13,200 units.

     Calgary’s new Municipal Development Plan (MDP) adopted by City Council in 2011, is beginning to have significant impacts
     on the nature of development in Calgary. The MDP goals are to create a better framework for sustainable development
     to take Calgary from 1,406,090 in 2012, to a projected 2,347,246 residents in 2041. With the MDP set in motion, Calgary
     is beginning to move from being a monocentric city of suburban bedroom communities and an active Central-Business
     District (CBD), to a polycentric city with many nodes to live, work, and play in, that are dense and connected by high-quality
     public transit systems. With a relatively strong economy and lower unemployment rates in Alberta in comparison to other
     provinces in Canada, many Canadians have been relocating to Calgary for work. Incoming Canadians from other parts of the
                                                              country, and an increasing share of new immigrants puts an increas-

OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEW
After a fairly sluggish 2013, the year ended with the announcement of             JLL PROPERTY CLOCK
approximately 3.3 million sq. ft. of forward leasing activity (Figure “A”)
which will greatly benefit the downtown market in 2017. While we are
showing that the Calgary market is currently is in somewhat of decline
on our Property Clock (Figure “B”.), it is the kind of commitment mid and
large cap tenants have to the long term future of Calgary, and Alberta, that
can radically change a landscape in a very short period of time.

It is not uncommon in Calgary for the office leasing market to expe-
rience rapid swings from a “Falling Market” to a “Rising Market” as
illustrated around our Clock. Over the past 10 years, Calgary has
witnessed how short downward cycles can be, with longest negative

While this new inventory will most certainly cause a short term rise in vacancy rates (Figure “D”) through the forecast
     period, with the very moderate absorption we are modelling over the next several years, we expect vacancy rates to stay
     at, or below structural vacancy. Calgary is, and will continue to be a dynamic and vibrant market and projects such as Q
     Block are integral to meeting the demand of both mid and large cap occupiers of space.

     FIGURE “D”

     Beyond all of the speculation in the market regard-
     ing Keystone and Gateway, there are some funda-           PROJECTED OIL SANDS
     mental growth drivers one should consider when            INVESTMENT IN ALBERTA
     evaluating mid-term demand for office space.

     Alberta is at the beginning of a shift in how it in-
     vests its E&P dollars. Thus far, most of the invest-
     ments have been coming in the form of capital
     expenditures while major infrastructure projects
     continue to be built. This form of investment has
     been a key contributor to Alberta’s growth to
     date but is typically more focused on the “shorter
     term” delivery of projects. What we are beginning
     to see is a significant shift from capital expendi-
     tures to more operational expenditures as shown
     in Figure “E”. This shift is meaningful as the out-
     comes will generate even more net migration to
     Alberta, and by default to Calgary, as employers     FIGURE “E”
     need to hire more permanent staff to help deliver
     product to market – in particular through the 2017 to 2019 “transition” period. The longer term benefit of this is shown
     over time as these operating expenditures are more significant and remain stable for a much longer period of time.
