CASE STUDIES
FEE DEVELOPMENT As fee developer, we are the catalyst for executing on the decisions of the project owner. We manage all aspects of development through construction completion and occupancy, tapping our breadth of resources to seamlessly and successfully bring the project to life while adding value in every way we can. From establishing financing structures
to managing reporting and approvals; construction management; activation of public spaces; as well as marketing, leasing and sales, we view success as our ability to exceed the expectations of all constituents involved.

16 CHESTNUT
DENVER, CO
PROJECT OWNER: Invesco Real Estate EWP ROLE: Building design, development and construction management, accounting, finance, sales and marketing through completion and occupancy.
As the initial developer for 16 Chestnut, East West Partners was responsible for the original design concepts, taking a bold approach to the architecture and building details with the intent of landing DaVita as the anchor tenant from the outset. Additionally, we approached the ground level integration with our unique perspective on the human experience within the context of the greater community and creatively designed the building to fit within existing public areas. Once hired as fee developer, we quickly got up to speed understanding the approval processes within the corporate structure of Invesco in order to meet their needs. We advised
on critical decision-making in pursuit of both LEED Platinum and healthy workplace statuses. And we not only facilitated the pursuit of Slack as a secondary tenant but proposed creative solutions for addressing the challenge of dual tenancy—recommending the division of the lobby into two private tower entrances. SUMMARY: From creating the original building concept through construction completion, East West Partners acted as the catalyst for delivering on time, under budget and fully leased.
“Everyone on the team at East West Partners was highly professional and experienced, and the resulting product is a leading-edge, top-of-class office building that we are very proud to have in our portfolio.” Duncan Walker, Senior Director, Invesco Real Estate

1 HOTEL HANALEI BAY
KAUA’I, HI
PROJECT OWNER: Starwood Capital Group EWP ROLE: Manage design, construction and permitting, as well as community outreach and PR efforts.
Our experience in luxury resort development and existing connections within the community positioned us as an ideal development partner for the renovation and rebranding of 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay on behalf of the Starwood Capital Group. As fee developers, we were in charge of coordinating and managing the design team and their consultants, selecting and hiring a general contractor, and overseeing all aspects of the construction process as well as the permitting and entitlements process with our entitlement consultants. Our previous experience operating in this real estate market gave us an added understanding of the political and environmental sensitivities surrounding the development
of 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. As the on-site, physical presence for our clients, we represented their interests within the community, managed outreach and participation, attended events, recommended sponsorships and donations, and led public relations in an extra effort to alleviate any concerns by local constituents. SUMMARY: Acting as a conduit between community and equity partner, we tap our development expertise in this niche market to deliver successfully on the expectations of all parties involved.

“The great thing about working with East West as a developer-owner rep is that they have so much experience thinking and acting as an owner. They’re all about being a proactive partner in making decisions. And they know how to have fun in the process.” Alex Waterbury, Managing Director, Starwood Capital Group

CASE STUDIES
WORKOUTS Workouts happen when a property has fallen into distress, whether because of economic, financial or other issues with the original developer. East West Partners is uniquely positioned to tackle these challenging projects thanks to our full arsenal of development disciplines. We are deeply committed to achieving successful outcomes for both our investment partners and community end-users.
On turnarounds, we step in and analyze the best approach for addressing the issues plaguing the project, from lack of funding to construction defects, owner relationships, public perception and more. Then we oversee all aspects of the remaining development in order to revitalize the project and deliver successfully on or above everyone’s expectations.

THE TIDES
CHARLESTON, SC
EQUITY PARTNERS: SVPGlobal and Neuberger Berman EWP ROLE: Asset takeover and management, underwriting, reporting, sales and marketing.
The Tides luxury waterfront condominium project was originally completed in 2009 before the recession, selling 70 of its 120 units before the downturn. In 2012, East West Partners recognized its potential, despite significant distress, and signed on as turnaround developer. Our two equity partners purchased the note in default by the bank, taking the title through foreclosure. From there, East West set out to right the ship, meeting with local brokers, the board of the HOA, existing homeowners and other local constituents to understand what was needed to restore the project to its former glory.
East West Partners addressed cosmetic upgrades, making improvements to interiors and landscaping over the next six months. Then we executed an extensive sales and marketing effort to signal change within the community, encourage interest and gain qualified leads. The project was sold out by 2014 with the average value of all residences increasing by almost $200/square foot from recession-era lows. SUMMARY: With significant investments in property improvements, rebranding and extensive PR efforts to change community perception, East West Partners repositioned and sold all 50 remaining residences in two years, half the projected timeframe.
“East West Partners not only lived up to every commitment made to the city but exceeded them… residential buildings were constructed that commanded even higher values than anyone would have expected… They deliver on their commitment and act in a most cooperative and responsible manner.” Joseph P. Riley Jr., Former Mayor, City of Charleston

THE LANDMARK
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO
LENDER: GV Holdings EWP ROLE: Development management, construction management, project repair, accounting, finance, sales and marketing, and urban management.
The Landmark was two-thirds complete when East West Partners stepped in as receiver due to complications following the recession. The previous owner was highly leveraged when the downturn of 2008 halted sales and stalled construction progress, forcing the property into receivership. As court-appointed receiver, and with financial backing from our lender, EWP invested significant resources and time as we worked to refresh, renew and revitalize the Landmark community. We interviewed homeowners and spoke to HOA members, local brokers and existing stakeholders to identify and address all construction defects and necessary capital improvements, both residential and commercial. Once we completed the
construction required to sell the remaining residences, we outlined and executed a comprehensive sales and marketing plan that led to the sale of all remaining units. The result is a thriving community filled with vibrant retail, restaurants and happy residents—both new and existing. SUMMARY: Through successful relationship building and expert management, East West Partners piloted this Greenwood Village icon to its full potential, achieving a complete sellout of all residences and leasing on almost all remaining retail space by 2017.
“Working with East West Partners was a pleasure—a rare pleasure. They were direct, honest, responsive and highly effective. And that shows in the results they achieved for all of us.” Michael Holmberg, Neuberger Berman

SNOWMASS BASE VILLAGE
SNOWMASS VILLAGE, CO
EQUITY PARTNERS: East West Partners, Aspen Skiing Company and KSL Capital Partners EWP ROLE: Development management, construction management, accounting, finance, sales and marketing, hospitality and urban management.
The financial crisis of 2009 left visions for Snowmass Base Village stalled for nearly 10 years. In 2016, East West Partners recognized the untapped potential for this vibrant base village and stepped in as turnaround developer. Through joint financing with our equity partners, we acquired the site and hit the ground running, working off existing plans for a complex mix of residential, retail and shared community spaces, and participating in ongoing community outreach to alleviate public concern and restore excitement for this new central base village. One of the most complex public/private partnerships East West Partners has ever undertaken, Snowmass Base Village is a shining example of our ability to not only deliver, but to raise the bar on turnarounds.
We successfully completed construction of the Lumin and One Snowmass luxury residences, Viceroy and Limelight hotels, and public spaces, including the plaza with ice skating rink and creative community center. Then we stayed on, overseeing multiple HOAs, parking structures and more than 15 retail tenants for the long term—not just building a comprehensive resort, but smoothly running it. SUMMARY: East West Partners rescued, completed and activated this idle, and vital, base village while restoring faith, boosting real estate sales and reenergizing the community around it.

CASE STUDIES
MASTER PLANS It is no coincidence that our two most prominent master planned developments have been awarded the ULI Award for Excellence. We believe it’s a result of our extensive inhouse capabilities, our ability to successfully deliver across both public and private interests, and our passion for truly
understanding the needs of the communities in which we operate. This is what gives us a unique advantage in bringing large-scale, master planned projects to life for our clients.

UNION STATION NEIGHBORHOOD
DENVER, CO
CLIENT: RTD + City of Denver EWP ROLE: Development management, planning, financing (public and private equity), construction management and community relations.
East West Partners was selected from a field of highly qualified candidates as the master developer of the Union Station Neighborhood. We planned, financed and built the new $480 million multi-modal transit center, now the hub of the city’s passenger rail, light rail, bus, pedestrian and bicycle traffic, as well as integrated with shops, restaurants, hotels and terrific public spaces. Our greatest contribution was managing the combined interests of both public and private partnerships, working to fundamentally understand what was important in the
public realm and to the city, while honoring interests of our private partners, managing every aspect of the entire project to deliver on time, on budget and above expectations. SUMMARY: We led a diverse team of public and private partners to transform 14 previously nonexistent blocks at the core of downtown Denver into a thriving city hub. Awarded the 2015 ULI Global Award for Excellence.
“The project provides proof that with skillful planning, expert management, collaborative spirit and vision, a massive urban development can be completed on time and on budget (even amid the upheaval of a deep recession), with an outcome that meets or exceeds the public's expectations.” Urban Land Institute

BEAVER CREEK RESORT
BEAVER CREEK, CO
CLIENT: Vail Resorts EWP ROLE: Development manager, construction management, accounting and reporting, sales and marketing, property management and hospitality.
East West Partners was selected by Vail Resorts to develop the master plan for the three-acre parcel of land at the center of Beaver Creek. We assembled and managed a complex team of architects, construction managers, and sales and marketing experts to bring their vision to life, starting with the creation of a central plaza as an organizing principle for the surrounding buildings. From there, we added underground parking, condominiums, the Vilar Performing Arts Center
530-seat theater, ice skating rink, shops and more. This community is still considered one of the premier ski resort destinations in all of the United States. SUMMARY: A combination of visionary planning, thoughtful public spaces and exceptional execution transformed this once-in-ageneration opportunity into a timeless model for the ski industry. Awarded the 1998 ULI Award for Excellence.

WATERFRONT
CHARLESTON, SC
CLIENT: Joint Venture Managed by East West Partners EWP ROLE: Master planning, development manager, construction management, accounting and reporting, sales and marketing, property management and hospitality.
East West Partners was selected by the master developer of Daniel Island to develop, plan, finance and build a new neighborhood on a 22-acre parcel on the waterfront of Daniel Island. What was once an underutilized public waterfront space under consideration for a marina has been transformed into a thriving destination within a destination on the water. To achieve this, we assembled a team of best-in-class architects, engineers, construction, sales and marketing professionals to activate the area along the shoreline into a highly acclaimed village core offering residential, retail, hospitality, a restaurant and market, all integrated into a mix of highly thoughtful public spaces, including a waterfront park with an interactive fountain, children’s play area, two public docks, and pocket parks throughout.
As one of the last waterfront residential locations in Charleston, we were able to create a layered experience with an active, lively, energetic village core open to the public while maintaining a serene, peaceful interior to residences. SUMMARY: East West transformed a once underutilized space into a thriving waterfront neighborhood on a 22-acre parcel in Daniel Island. They assembled a team of experts to create a highly acclaimed village core with residential, retail, hospitality and public spaces. Waterfront balances an active village with access to the water, with peaceful interior to residences.
