Asset Acquisition

W372 Controlled Subsidiary – Los Angeles, CA

On December 31, 2019, we directly acquired ownership of a “wholly-owned subsidiary”, W372 (the “W372 Controlled Subsidiary”), for an initial purchase price of approximately $1,520,000, which is the initial stated value of our equity interest in the RSE W372 Controlled Subsidiary (the “W372 Investment”). The W372 Controlled Subsidiary used the proceeds to close on the acquisition of vacant land that totals approximately 6,250 square feet (the “W372 Property”). The W372 Property was unimproved at acquisition. The closing of both the W372 Investment and the W372 Property occurred concurrently.

The W372 Controlled Subsidiary is managed by us.

Pursuant to the agreements governing the W372 Investment (the “W372 Operative Agreements”), we have full authority for the management of the W372 Controlled Subsidiary, including the W372 Property. In addition, an affiliate of our sponsor earned an acquisition fee of approximately 1.0% of the W372 Investment, paid directly by the W372 Controlled Subsidiary.

The W372 Property was acquired for a purchase price of approximately $1,520,000, which includes the acquisition fee of approximately $15,000. We anticipate development costs of approximately $900,000 to build a semi-temporary retail structure on the site which we plan on leasing out as we continue to acquire adjacent parcels on the street. We expect the lifecycle of this development to be approximately 7 years which has been factored into our initial return projections. This will bring the total projected equity for the W372 Property to approximately $2,420,000. The development work is anticipated to occur within one year; however, there can be no guarantee that such results will be achieved. No financing was used for the acquisition of the W372 Property.

The West Jefferson neighborhood is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, with most of its buildings constructed around the turn of the 20th century. It is one of the most densely populated areas per square mile in the Los Angeles area and we are expecting continued gentrification over the next seven to ten years due to its proximity to downtown Los Angeles, west-side affluent neighborhoods, and the University of Southern California. With high demand from creative office and retail user/operators, we feel this well-located investment will provide attractive returns over our holding period.

The following table contains performance assumptions and projections. Individual assumptions and projected returns are presented at the asset level. All of the values in the table below are projections and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable; however, there can be no guarantee that such results will be achieved.

Asset Name	Projected Returns	Total Projected Development Hard Costs	Total Projected Soft / Other Costs	Projected Average Annual Rent Growth	Projected Average Annual Expense Growth	Projected Exit Cap Rate	Projected Hold Period
W372	10.2% - 13.4%	$710,000	$190,000	3.0%	3.0%	4.50%	7 years

Please note that past performance is not indicative of future results, and these asset performance projections may not reflect actual future performance. Any projections on the future returns of any of our assets may not prove to be accurate and are highly dependent on the assumptions described above. Investing in Fundrise Growth eREIT 2019, LLC is an inherently risky investment that may result in total or partial loss of investment to investors.
