• HIGHEST QUALITY ASSETS IN THE MARKET – Gerding Edlen properties sets a new standard for urban core design. Gerding Edlen has created the portfolio of assets to truly inspire a sense of community at each of the properties. Gerding Edlen’s vision incorporates inspiring architectural thought, the latest in sustainable design and living features, and captures the sense of community by showcasing works from local artists at each of the properties. Additionally, unique design features include such amenities as a top floor community lounge with entertainment deck and fitness center that allows all residents to enjoy the views and socialize and pet friendly communities with dog run and wash facilities
• LOCATIONS ARE TRULY IRREPLACEABLE – This portfolio offers investors the opportunity to invest in the top multi-family markets in the country
as well as the best neighborhoods with the highest barriers to entry within these markets. For example, 315 on A and Factory 63 are located in the preferred Fort Point Channel submarket at the heart of the most dynamic restaurant and bar scene and just blocks from downtown Boston. The Seattle assets are located in the Pike/Pine corridor of the Capitol Hill district in the heart of Seattle’s trendiest and hip neighborhoods. The San Francisco asset is located in the emerging Van Ness corridor proximate to the exploding urban tech core of Mid-Market Street, home to such firms as Twitter and Uber. Additionally, the asset is located across from the $1.0 billion California Pacific Medical Center project. The second Bay Area asset is in Berkeley, which brings true meaning to barriers to entry. Lastly, the Redondo Beach asset has ocean views and is just steps from the Pacific Ocean and the Boardwalk, making it an irreplaceable asset in the submarket
• SUSTAINABLE DESIGN – The portfolio was developed with sustainability as a central theme throughout (LEED Gold or higher certification). This
sustainability clearly benefits ownership through reduced operating costs and is instrumental in attracting and retaining millennial residents who understand the importance of everyone’s contributions to the environment
• PORTFOLIO OPTIONALITY – While the entire Green Cities Fund I is being offered as a portfolio, individual assets may be purchased on a
one-off or sub-portfolio basis

Finished in September 2013, 315 on A is a 202 unit, 21-story upscale high-rise apartment community. 315 on A offers a refreshing and striking break from the traditional luxury apartment building. The preferred location in the arts-focused Fort Point Channel neighborhood, 315 on A is a landmark property with unobstructed views of the downtown and Back Bay skyline in one of Boston’s most vibrant neighborhoods. The building is LEED Gold Certified and was designed with efficiency in mind utilizing a smaller more efficient floor plan. Catering to the new social living trend, 315 on A uniquely designed its amenity space on the top floor of the building, so all residents have the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular views of the City and socialize with their neighbors. 315 on A is truly unique.
