Condition & Class

  • The location of the Subject is Class A given its optimal location from retail, short term lodging, long-term residential and local, regional and interstate travel. The area surrounding the Subject has multiple developments in progress and is in a local designated improvement zone under the City of Medford Urban Renewal Agency (see attached Map). Multiple commercial and multifamily re-development projects and capital utilization are underway in the immediate area.
  • The exterior of the Subject is Class B with exterior components being in good working order and mostly in good repair. Composition roofs are in need of repair or replacement. Roof-mounted HVAC components are in good working order. Siding and paint are good. The parking lot is in need of sealing and minor repairs as preventative maintenance. The No. 1 monument sign has experienced damage. No. 2's monument requires lighting, electrical and paint improvements for best operation. The condition would be considered Class A should it be renovated to include some updates to the parking lots, monument signs, roofs, façades, paint and other similar improvements. The addition of 50 mph bollards to the south of the monument(s) would mitigate future traffic crash damage.
  • The interior condition is Class B primarily due to age with the professional office and show room of No. 1, however both are in great shape. Some minor cosmetic improvements to the interior would increase class to Class A.

Tenant Summery
