FRP HOLDINGS, INC.
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA

) was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  FRP Development’s offices are located in Baltimore, Maryland and since its inception it has been engaged in the business of acquiring, developing, owning and operating commercial and industrial buildings predominately in the Baltimore/Washington DC/Northern Virginia market area.  This market has consistently been ranked in the top 10 for industrial/warehouse performance in the United States.  We focus primarily on constructing Class A warehouse/office facilities between 60,000–150,000 square feet for multi-tenant use to create cash flow and future value appreciation through leasing efforts and our cost effective in-house property management team. We have also built and manage two office buildings and own a third office building located in Jacksonville, FL that was part of the real estate assets spun-off to us in 1986.   Additionally, over the years, we have opportunistically acquired 11 operating warehouse/office buildings, typically in connection with a 1031 exchange opportunity.  Today, our developed building platform consists of over 3.6 million square feet.   Through our operating subsidiary, Florida Rock Properties, Inc., we own several properties comprising approximately 15,000 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties.  Other than one location in VA, all of these properties are located in Florida and Georgia.  Based on history, we believe strongly in the potential for future growth in construction in these two States which directly benefits our profitability in this business.  Additionally, these locations provide us with excellent opportunities for valuable “2nd lives” for these assets through proper land planning and entitlement.  Our current mining tenants include Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta and Cemex, among others.  Locating, buying, and permitting high quality reserves such as ours is becoming increasingly difficult, particularly in high growth States like Florida and Georgia where residential growth has either developed over or too near the underground mining resources.  With supplies becoming harder to obtain and demand continuing to be strong, we are confident that aggregate prices will increase at rates in excess of inflation.  The major expenses in this business are comprised of collection and accounting for royalties, management’s oversight of the mining leases, land entitlement for post-mining uses and property taxes at our Grandin location which, unlike our other mining locations, are not paid by the tenant.  As such, our costs in this business are very low as a percentage of revenue, are relatively stable and are not affected by increases in aggregate volume production at our locations.  With over 400M tons of permitted reserves on our balance sheet,  we view this part of our business as a very low risk opportunity with lots of upside potential for many years to come. We own and are continuously entitling and developing several parcels of land that are at various stages of their development, from “highest and best use” studies to income producing ground rents.  At FRP, our primary operating strategy has been to acquire, entitle and ultimately develop commercial/industrial business parks providing 5–15 flexible sized building “pads” which we then typically convert into our developed buildings portfolio.  To date, we have converted several of these “pads” into developed buildings that we continue to own and manage.  The remaining “pads” are fully entitled, located in four different business parks, and can support  an additional 1.2 million sf.  Having sites ready for vertical construction has rewarded us in the past.  It is the main reason why we were recently able to convert 3 of our finished pads into “build-to-suit” opportunities totaling 373,000 s.f. of class A industrial warehouses for a Fortune 500 company in 2012, 2013 and 2014.  We will continue to actively monitor these submarkets and take advantage of the opportunities presented to us through these “construction ready pad sites”.   In addition to this inventory of finished building lots, we have several other  properties that were either spun-off to us from Florida Rock Industries in 1986 or acquired by us from unrelated 3rd parties.  These properties, as a result of our “highest and best use” studies, are (i) being prepared for income generation through sale or joint venture with third parties, (ii) under interim term ground leases awaiting “higher value” markets, or (iii) under well valued long term ground leases.  While our  has a complete listing of all these properties, below are brief descriptions of three of our more prominent properties in this business: This property consists of 6 acres on the Anacostia River and is immediately adjacent to the Washington National’s baseball park in the SE Central Business District of Washington, DC. Since the baseball park was completed in 2008, this submarket of the District has seen one of the most rapid and impressive redevelopments in the Country. Once zoned for industrial use and under a ground lease to third parties for minimal rental rates, this property has now been re-zoned for the construction of approximately 1.1M square feet of “mixed-use” development in four phases with an abundance of open area including a public esplanade along the waterfront. In 2014, Phase I was contributed to a joint venture owned by FRP (78%) and our partner, MRP Realty (22%) and construction commenced in October, 2014 on a 305 unit residential apartment building with approximately 19,000 sq. ft. of first floor retail areas. Phases II, III and IV are slated for residential , office, and hotel/residential buildings, respectively, all with first floor retail uses. This property is the “crown jewel” of our portfolio and we will continue our focus on finding the best way(s) to maximize the long term value for our shareholders.
