developer.

 June 2015: Tannach engages Wright Engineers to evaluate condition of the structure.

 August 2015: RDA issues notice of default under its development agreement with Tannach.

to remediate structural deficiencies. As such, they are unable to cure the default on the
development agreement.

identifying a replacement developer for a project on this property.

 April 15, 2016: RDA, with the corporation of Tannach Properties and backing of stakeholders,
identifies a replacement developer, Cowboy Partners, L.C., subject to approval by Citibank.

o Cowboy Partners’ recovery plan represented an opportunity to rehabilitate the site and
develop a project that serves the needs of our community, including the inclusion of units
affordable to households earning 50% of the area median income (AMI).
o Support for Cowboy Partners’ recovery plan was extended by the RDA, state and local
officials, affordable housing partners, and numerous other stakeholders.

importance to the City, and to steer towards a resolution.
