ORLANDO This is where fantastical dreams become reality. i'I i t: ill. Amazon, it’s time to toss aside what you think Orlando is all about. This is more than just a great place to vacation—it’s also an amazing place to live and do business. Orlando is home to thinkers, dreamers and leaders. We’re young and educated, hard-working and diverse, talented and high-tech. And we’re eager to share with you the whole story of this thriving community. 2 Osceola County Chairman Brandon Arrington Seminole County Chairman John Horan Lake County Chairman Timothy Sullivan 3 We’re both on the rise – let’s grow together. 4 Those in the business of site selection choose Orlando. 7 This is where fantasy meets reality. 8 Testing the boundaries of Tomorrowland, in every industry imaginable. 9 10 Take me for example. I’m not exactly what most people expect. I’m a millennial, a President and CEO, a disrupter of conventional-thinking obsessed with the idea of reshaping what others see about my city. Orlando is well-known but misunderstood. Sure, this is a fun town, but it’s also one of the most imaginative cities in America with a vibrant landscape and an animated culture. Our educational leaders are all in this together. 20 We’re more alike than you know. Orlando is growing like only Amazon would believe, adding more than 1,000 new residents and 1,000 new jobs every week. We’ve got land for expansion, manpower to empower, and infrastructure that is visionary. Our evolution didn’t happen overnight; we’ve been preparing for our explosive growth for more than a decade. We’re ready for you, Amazon. Let us show you the other half of Orlando. Portopia. (It’s a real thing.) 28 Orlando is literally wired for growth. 40 1,000+ TIM GIULIANI President + CEO Orlando Economic Partnership Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs Toss aside what you think Orlando’s all about. Orlando’s got talent and skillz. Our regional leaders are in full support of welcoming Amazon HQ2.O. City of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer Table of contents NEW RESIDENTS MOVING INTO ORLANDO EVERY WEEK The happiest place on Earth is also the happiest place to work. Ride, drive, cycle or soar… no pixie dust required. We’re young, inclusive, entrepreneurial and sustainable. #ThisIsOrlando The home of happiness is what we just call home. 22 27 43 51 Orlando just makes cents. 62 Orlando offers site options… choose your own adventure. 71 Downtown Orlando Lake Nona + Sunbridge NeoCity Tupperware 3 We’re both on the rise – Let’s grow together. Our region is defining the promise and potential of the nation’s third largest state. Just as Orlando sits squarely at the geographic crossroads of Florida, so does its earned reputation as the intersection of a globally recognized brand and its emergence as a dynamic, magnetic international city and one of the top 10 locations in the country for business, according to Chief Executive Magazine. Blue sky potential and a pro-business ethos live here. A vast array of industries from video gaming to biomedical research thrives here. A full spectrum of businesses, headquarters to start-ups, grow here. Public and private leaders collaborate to solve tomorrow’s demands here. An incredible outdoor lifestyle with yearround sunshine flourishes here. We are the world’s top vacation destination and experts at hospitality for a reason. Like Amazon, we are dedicated to enhancing our guests’ experience. You’ll find Orlando and Amazon share even more similarities. We quickly rose to fame after creating unique products and delivering exceptional customer service that is second-to-none. We have adapted and grown by extending service offerings, diversifying portfolios and creating new technologies that benefit the world. We share similar trajectories, growing exponentially beyond anyone’s expectations. Propelled by a culture of collaboration, a spirit of inclusiveness and a propensity for customer obsession, Orlando has been planning for its growth while quietly becoming one of the strongest business markets in the United States. How did this happen? How did Orlando become one of America’s most surprisingly dynamic places? That’s what you’ll find out in this proposal. When you are new to Orlando, you’re not the exception—you’re the rule. And while our region is expanding, it remains a small world when it comes to the welcoming spirit that dwells within. It will be easy for Amazonians to find common threads in the fabric of Orlando and quickly become integrated in our community leadership. Just ask our fearless leader, Tim. Less than one year ago he, his wife and their kids relocated from the Research Triangle to Orlando. Before the moving truck even made it to Orlando, the community was busy setting up playdates, planning dinners and sharing babysitter contacts. This is Orlando. Hospitality is our way of life. As the region’s economic development organization charged with cultivating new business development in this rapidly growing area, the Orlando Economic Partnership stands ready to assist you throughout the site selection process, during relocation and then on to the babysitter recommendations. Our strong relationships with the state’s and region’s political and business leaders contribute to our success in assisting the relocation and expansion of many companies every year. We invite you to learn why Orlando is more than just a great place to visit; it’s also a great place to live and do business. Talent and Workforce – Check! With a robust labor pool of more than two million workers and a pipeline of 500,000 students within a 100-mile radius of downtown Orlando, we absolutely meet your needs for talent—even for software development engineers—now and into the future. We also have the ability to custom create scalability through the region’s educational institutions who are ready and able to create programs that meet and exceed your needs. When it comes to recruiting team members to Orlando, the fact is, it often sells itself. Affordable, high quality living is a major driver in successfully relocating core, senior management staff here. Families enjoy year-round outdoor sports and recreation as well as an assortment of schools that meet the cultural and educational needs of all learners. Infrastructure – Check! In a time when many cities are struggling with crumbling infastructure, Orlando is making $10 billion in infrastructure investments for expansions and improvements that are well underway to road, rail, air, sea and even space travel in the region. These assets allow for the speedy and efficient means to move people and products around the globe and beyond. Our infrastructure projects are not slowed down by government red tape, in fact, just 20 percent of the region’s road projects are federally funded, significantly lower than the national average of 80 percent. With 68 million visitors per year, we’re experts at transportation and communication. Orlando is wired for growth with ample fiber providers who are enhancing all aspects of life. For example, a data-driven technology roadmap is being deployed as part of Orlando’s Green Works initiative in a partnership with Siemens that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transform our mobility options. Orlando’s commitment to a sustainable future includes programs to accelerate energy-efficiency, leverage the power of the sun and encourage eco-friendly lifestyles.

It is because of that relationship that we chose to build the KPMG Learning Development and Innovation Center right here in Orlando’s Lake Nona community.” – LYNN DOUGHTIE, Chairman and CEO, KPMG You are known by the company you keep. And the companies we keep have a lot they can share with Amazon about why they located in Orlando. If you think we’re a one-industry town, think again. 79% of our jobs are in industries outside the tourism sector. Professional site selectors choose Orlando. Though known primarily for tourism, Orlando hasn’t been a one-industry town for quite some time. Before Disney was a major chapter in our story, Orlando’s early years involved the space race and the mission to get man on the moon. Strategically positioned alongside Cape Canaveral’s Kennedy Space Center, Orlando was the ideal location for one of the country’s first technical colleges: Florida Technological University. FTU fueled talent not just for NASA but for the aerospace and defense industry with graduates employed by Martin Marietta (later Lockheed Martin). Eventually FTU became the University of Central Florida because of its rapid expansion into other areas of study, which mirrors the story of Orlando’s evolution. UCF is now the second-largest university in the country with 64,318 students enrolled (2016). Industry Diversity August 2017 KPMG, LLC is building its new 55-acre, 800,000-square-foot learning, development and innovation facility in Lake Nona located in the City of Orlando. KPMG expects to create 80 high-wage jobs in Orlando and make a $430 million capital investment, the company’s largest capital investment project ever. Construction on the state-of-the-art facility is scheduled to be completed in 2019. Once open, more than 20,000 KPMG associates will train here annually. “ Ultimately, ADP was impressed with the Orlando region’s strong demographics, workforce and talent pipeline. The company focuses on hiring recent graduates with 4-year degrees and the University of Central Florida’s annual graduating class of more than 24,000 among its 63,000 students overall was certainly a draw.” – WADLEY DONOVAN GUTSHAW CONSULTING GROUP ADP, LLC located its new office in the City of Maitland in Orange County, hiring 1,600 new employees within the next five years and making a capital investment of $28 million. “ The Orlando area proved to be a great location for the U.S. Delivery Center. We met our initial hiring goals in half the time we expected it would take and given the success of the center and to stay ahead of clients’ needs, we’re adding up to 850 new jobs to our Lake Mary Center. The strength of the region – including a thriving international community and well-respected educational institutions, providing access to skilled, tech savvy workers – confirms our original choice for this location and makes expansion an easy call.” – BERT NAQUIN, Managing Director, Deloitte Consulting LLP and Center Director Deloitte Consulting, LLP has hired 1,600 people in two to three years at its U.S. Technology Delivery Center, in Seminole County. The company has made a capital investment of $24 million and is now on its third wave of hiring in the Orlando region. From sensors to simulation, healthcare to aviation, Orlando is making moves on a number of fronts in many futureforward industry sectors. Our regional team of economic development partners has been committed to industry diversification for more than 40 years. 6 7 Once upon a time... A man named Walt Disney came to Orlando. There he found the space he lacked in California. Finally there was room to create, unburdened by the disorderly sprawl that had grown up around Disneyland. Walt Disney World Resort would include not only an amusement park like Disneyland but also hotels, cruise ships, campgrounds, golf courses, and shopping villages. Walt Disney World became the premier vacation destination in the world almost overnight. One of Walt Disney’s last plans had been for the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, “EPCOT” as he called it. A combination of Future World and World Showcase, Epcot Center broke ground in 1979 representing an investment of over $1 billion dollars, or $3.5 billion today. Tomorrowland’s Testing Grounds Fantasy Meets Reality Space. Unencumbered room to create. Historic investment. Land transformed into a global destination seemingly overnight. The ability to imagine and bring to reality the prototype of tomorrow. Orlando can be Amazon’s new frontier—an experimental, technology-rich community of tomorrow helping to drive its next industrial disruptions. This is not a fairytale. This is our proven history and our certain future as one of the world’s great cities. Our demographics mirror the larger U.S. population. Why does this matter to Amazon? Orlando’s diversity allows companies to use Orlando as a testing ground for scalable innovations. Pilot programs of all types from healthcare technology to automated vehicle testing are creating breakthroughs here every day. For example, Florida Hospital can provide one-of-a-kind access to real-time patient data from its Orlando location. Our boundless connectivity is a catalyst for innovation and the region is quickly becoming a testing ground for the world. For example, in 1992, the city partnered with Avis, GM and the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) to test GPS navigation in rental cars. Fast-forward 25 years and now the region is an innovation center for automated vehicle technology. The U.S. DOT recently designated Orlando as one of ten automated vehicle (AV) proving ground sites. Through the Central Florida Automated Vehicle Partnership, which includes local academic, private sector and government agencies, the foundation for the safe testing, application demonstration and deployment of new automated vehicle technologies is being carried out here. Through the Central Florida Automated Vehicle Partnership, research and simulation will be conducted at some of the area’s universities including UCF and Florida Polytechnic University. Research and simulation will be conducted at our universities, including the University of Central Florida and Florida Polytechnic University. Safety and policy compliance review will be managed by the College of Law within Florida A&M University-Florida State University (FAMU-FSU) College of Engineering. Other participating facilities include the Roadway Network and Swamp Works Lab at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, the UCF Transportation Lab, the City of Orlando’s downtown urban core, interstates, expressways, and SunTrax—the only dedicated high-speed AV and tolling testing center in the southeastern United States. House Bill 7027 was passed in 2016, which cleared the way for all forms of AV testing. Florida’s support, in combination with the access to qualified talent, has attracted one of the leading companies working to disrupt the automobile industry, Luminar. Luminar Technologies, Inc. is producing advanced sensor technologies for the autonomous vehicle industry. We are prepared for, and dedicated to, shaping tomorrow. This manifesto is reflected in the myriad of regional initiatives underway from substantial investment in our infrastructure, business-friendly governance and collaborative educational ecosystem to our accelerated implementation of sustainable solutions and commitment to inclusivity. Tomorrowland was imagined here and its spirit of innovation through technology propels Orlando forward. Highlights NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) will provide a controlled testing facility that offers the ideal contained environment with a vast roadway network and secure access. KSC can conduct controlled extreme environment testing for significant weather events and unusual roadway conditions. The Cape Canaveral Spaceport offers many benefits to the emerging commercial aerospace industry. With the legacy of NASA and the Air Force, its experienced local talent, innovative workforce, mature industrial base and suppliers make the CCS an ideal place for operations. More than just operations, the CCS has become the hub for human spaceflight transportation development. Both the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and the CST-100 Commercial Crew Transportation System have been selected to undergo final assembly and test operations at the CCS. Transit testing on LYNX’s LYMMO Orange line in downtown Orlando is exploring the use of automated shuttles and automated shared-use vehicles. SunTrax is a new transportation technology testing facility, including a 2.25-mile oval track designed for high-speed travel and multiple lanes on a 400-acre site in Polk County, centrally located between Tampa and Orlando. The vision for SunTrax includes the build-out of multiple environments, including a simulated downtown urban core to test transit, vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle interactions with AVs. “Orlando is home to the highest concentration of LiDAR expertise in the world — all within a 10-mile radius of our building. There is a huge infrastructure and pool of talent in optics and JASON EICHENHOLZ photonics between multiple Fortune 500 companies and the University of Central Florida’s College of Optics and Photonics, known as CREOL. The quality of talent is unbeatable, and I’ve been able to put together a world-class team with more than 800 years of combined LiDAR experience to work on R&D, engineering and manufacturing. All of this has come together to build a system that meets the needs of the world’s top AV programs, including Toyota Research Institute.” Co-Founder + Chief Technology Officer of Luminar 8 9 Orlando’s Got Talent Orlando Supply vs. Amazon Demand for Software Development Engineers Software Development Engineers Orlando is the perfect place to find many of your future Amazonians. We have the talent pool you need to get started right now and the continuously flowing pipeline to keep that pool filled with candidates. Candidates who are not only qualified, but also more inclined to stay in the region. Our lifestyle, amenities, and tax climate and wealth make people want to plant roots here. Add industryleading Amazon to the mix as a major employer, and that talent is a “self-pool-filling prophecy,” for continued recruitment and development. From its customer-friendly roots to cutting-edge aspirations, there’s a reason Orlando has successfully attracted some of the biggest names in the business. And as executives of recently located headquarters have found, exceptional employees from all over the world are attracted to Orlando because of its quality of life and favorable cost of living. Powerhouse technology companies including FIS, Fiserv, Oracle, Lockheed Martin, SAP, Universal Studios, and Veritas have discovered an environment that is rich in innovation, deep in talent, and committed to doing what it takes to help local companies succeed. Each occupation sector relevant to Amazon’s operations has seen positive, if not double-digit growth over the last five years. Our exceptional university and college system combined with our unique quality of life ensures a strong and stable labor pool. Amazon’s Regional Labor Pool Occupation Categories Software Engineers Engineering and Tech Talent Executive and Management Finance and Accounting Legal Administrative Services Employment (2016) 16,183 39,710 39,907 29,948 14,350 143,185 Growth 2011-2016 Source: EMSI 2017 Q3, QCEW Class of Worker, U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics 14.7% 15.8% 14.2% 10.3% 9.3% 16.3% Our regional talent shed can meet your needs for SDEs from day one of project initiation in 2019. Using an estimate of square feet per worker and our knowledge of Project Golden’s current workforce, we modeled the number of SDEs that the project would need through 2033, the projected end of phase three construction. We then anticipated our regional supply through to completion of phase three, incorporating our existing supply of SDEs, our regional graduates, as well as the talent we can attract to our region. As you can see below, Orlando’s supply of SDEs consistently surpasses the estimated demand with room for growth beyond initial projections. Even through 2033 it would not be critical to hire from outside the Central Florida Region, giving you the flexibility to recruit the best and brightest from wherever you see fit. 500,000 STUDENTS WITHIN 100 MILES OF ORLANDO 2M+ SKILLED WORKERS IN EXISTING LABOR POOL 16% GROWTH IN ENGINEERS OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS Total Degree Completions (Software Development Engineers) Not only does Orlando have the workforce and graduates to meet the demand for SDEs through phase three of the project, Orlando’s strong university system has demonstrated the potential to quickly increase production of SDEs. Between 2012 and 2014, our region’s universities increased the graduation rate of SDEs by an additional 83%, the largest and fastest percent increase when compared to Austin, Boulder, and Seattle. Not only did Orlando produce SDE graduates faster than other metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), but our region’s SDE capacity is also larger than other major metros. Orlando is only second to the Seattle MSA when it comes to annual SDE graduates. 83% INCREASED GRADUATION RATE OF SDEs BY OUR REGION’S UNIVERSITITES (2012-2014) 10 11 Value-added talent 90 percent of the time, Orlando’s labor is less expensive than the national average.. When considering Amazon’s future workforce, from accountants to software engineers, Orlando’s talent comes with a lower price tag than other major metros. These include Seattle, Charlotte, Atlanta, Dallas and Chicago. In fact, cost savings in Orlando is as high as 27 percent when considering the wage of software engineers compared to those in Seattle. 27% POTENTIAL SAVINGS IN WAGES FOR SOFTWARE ENGINEERS IN ORLANDO COMPARED TO SEATTLE Orlando’s low cost of living and pro-business climate is a benefit to your payroll and your employee’s paycheck. Orlandoans can achieve a higher quality of life on a smaller dime compared to other large metros. ORLANDO SEATTLE CHARLOTTE Shree Raj Shrestha HIRED Orlando Amazonian For the first 19 years of his life, Shree Raj Shrestha rarely left the city of his birth. In fact, the first time Shrestha left Nepal he traveled to Orlando to interview for Rollins College’s prestigious Alfond Scholarship. He earned that scholarship, and since arriving at Rollins in the fall of 2013, Shrestha has engineered a college experience that would rival any in the country in its richness and reach. Last summer, he interned at Amazon’s Seattle headquarters and created an application that was used during Prime Day. Ten days after he graduated, Shrestha returned to Amazon as a software developer.

One example is the new Veterans Affairs national center for medical simulation in Orlando, training VA providers from more than 150 VA hospitals and 900 clinics, who will then train their own staff—more than 300,000 of them nationwide. Analytics Together, with an industry advisory board of more than 40 entrepreneurs and data scientists representing companies like Amazon, Lockheed Martin, IBM and Deloitte, UCF launched the state’s first advanced degree that specifically addresses the growing need for big data and data analytics professionals. Similarly, UCF’s data mining program—the first in the nation— enjoys industry collaborations with CitiBank, Johnson & Johnson and Darden Restaurants. UCF’s Complex Adaptive Systems Laboratory has developed cutting-edge research on fraud detection for Royal Bank of Canada and has proposed innovative bot detection for online giants, including Amazon. We’ve Got Skillz Built to win the space race and to execute Disney’s futuristic fantasies, Orlando has been a tech hub for decades, drawing the boldest minds in tech talent from around the globe. Today, that talent has evolved and expanded into industries that surpassed even Walt Disney’s wildest dreams, including modeling, simulation and training; data analytics; computer programming; cybersecurity; virtual, augmented and mixed reality; gaming and film/digital media. 14 Computer Programming The University of Central Florida’s computer programming team ranked No. 1 in the U.S. and No. 13 in the world at the World Association of Computing Machinery’s International Collegiate Programming Contest, an elite contest known as the “Battle of the Brains.” UCF bested UC Berkeley, M.I.T., Princeton, Cornell and many more. For 35 consecutive years, UCF has placed in the top three in its region, a record unmatched by any team in the nation. Artificial Intelligence Orlando’s role as the hub of advanced thinking in computer vision and artificial intelligence is coming into focus. Home to one of the largest computer vision research groups in the country with more than 50 researchers, UCF is a training ground for future computer vision and AI leaders—one of Amazon’s principal research scientists is among them. Nearby, UF’s Center for Vision, Graphics and Medical Imaging promotes basic and applied research in computer vision and vision graphics. Both UCF and University of Florida (UF) drive innovation in natural language technologies and human-centered computing that improve machine learning and broaden industry applications. Cybersecurity Orlando’s colleges and universities are proving grounds for hackers who use their powers for good. Both UCF and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University are home to NSA and Department of Homeland Security accredited National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education, and UCF is home to a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Research. UCF’s Cyber Defense Team, Hack@UCF, has won the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Championship three times, and more than 200 members train and compete. At Stetson University, the computer science department leads an annual “ethical” hack against the university, strengthening the university’s security. Virtual and Augmented Reality Just last year, Full Sail University opened a brand new, fully equipped, state-of-the-art Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality (VR/AR) and Fabrication Lab to meet the future demand for content and applications developed specifically for virtual and augmented reality technologies. Gaming Between FIEA, Full Sail University and The Digital Animation and Visual Effects (DAVE) School, Orlando graduates the best and brightest in game development. Orlando’s Indienomicon community is one of the nation’s only communities for independent game developers (Jeff might know a little something about this group). They host Indie Galactic Space Jam every year in partnership with Space Florida–the only space-themed game development conference in the world. Film and Digital Media Full Sail uses an around-the-clock schedule that emulates the demands of the entertainment and media industries. The university also enrolls and graduates students monthly—making graduates available to the industry year-round. With assets like one of the largest motion capture stages in the Southeast at Orange Technical College and one of the nation’s top-rated film programs at Valencia College, Orlando is driving innovation in the film and digital media sector. 15 Heather Lawrence Future Amazonian Talent Pipeline: Delivering Results For the 23rd consecutive year, Rollins College was ranked among the top two regional universities in the South in the “Best Colleges” rankings. UCF’s Heather Lawrence wants to discover ways to teach computers to analyze and fend off cyber attacks to reduce the burden on human defenders. She’s a U.S. Navy veteran and former president of the UCF Collegiate Cyber Defense Club, the popular 280-member student organization also known as Hack@UCF. She recently earned her a master’s degree in computer engineering. Lawrence served six years in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear engineering technician, including four years stationed on the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70). After returning to civilian life, she attended Valencia College then transferred to UCF where she earned a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering in 2015. Lawrence said her Navy experience was an important stepping stone that prepared her for continued success in college. The principles that power Amazon are ones shared with Orlando’s diverse collection of colleges, universities and even K-12 institutions. From small, industry-specific magnet programs to large, public research universities, Orlando’s breadth of institutions virtually guarantees there are academic programs and graduates for any workforce need. The University of Florida is the first Florida school to break into the list of top 10 best public universities, coming in at No. 9. “One of the best things my mom ever did for me was get me a computer when I was 12. It was a computer built from pieces of other computers. She didn’t know how to use it so I had to figure out how it worked. To be successful, the main quality people need is relentless curiosity.” No.1 IN THE NATION 16 Annual graduates within 200 miles of Orlando Relevant to Amazon job categories Degree Category Executive and Management Engineering and Other Tech Talent Administrators Finance and Accounting 2014 17,099 9,240 6,019 5,972 2015 16,499 9,701 6,118 5,932 2016 15,858 9,216 5,761 5,416 TOTAL 42,136 41,737 39,242 Legal Valencia College was named the best community college in the nation as the inaugural winner of the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence in 2011.

Florida Virtual School is an online school dedicated to personalized learning. Students throughout Florida and beyond can access more than 150 courses, including Advanced Placement math and sciences. 18 Early Learning Coalition Access to high-quality early child care and education is available across the Orlando region through a variety of local programs administered by the numerous Early Learning Coalitions, which have a presence in all of the major counties and communities. The Coalitions’ impact early-learning in preparing the workforce of tomorrow by placing children in different learning programs, providing services to working parents and assisting families who have children with special needs. Salman Mujtaba Magnet Programs Coming from a modest-class family of Islamabad, Salman Mujtaba used his $60-per-year public school education to work wonders. He passed his high school courses with straight As and ventured to the U.S. to study accounting at Stetson University. He was the first student ever to pass exemption exams for introductory financial and managerial accounting. Throughout Orlando, magnet programs have been established within middle and high schools to provide opportunities for students to engage in intensive study in specific areas. These programs allow students at an early age to explore careers and to develop skills in broad disciplines: bioscience, finance, engineering, science, technology, healthcare and hospitality, as well as microelectronics engineering, simulation applications, aviation and aerospace engineering, global information and future technologies. Career Academies Several Orlando high schools are home to career academies. These personalized learning communities provide a setting for students to learn both academic and technical curricula within the context of an industry. They allow students to prepare for college careers and to interact with the local business community. For example, Crooms Academy of Information Technology offers a rigorous academic program and technology focused coursework in the areas of multimedia design technology, computer programming and network systems technology. Programs at Montverde Academy focus on engineering and robotics at two state-of-the-art science labs. Future Amazonian He graduated with his bachelor’s degree with a near perfect GPA in only two and a half years, setting a record at Stetson University and receiving an award as the accounting department’s outstanding senior. Salman completed an internship with TopBuild Corp. where he gained practical experience in IT controls, auditing and the basics of corporate life. He is currently pursuing a Master of Accountancy at Stetson and preparing for the Uniform CPA exam. A modest background hasn’t hindered Salman from advancing in life, and he says his pursuit of success certainly won’t stop here. Barbara Jenkins, Ed.D. Superintendent, OCPS Superintendent Barbara Jenkins was one of four finalists for the 2017 National Superintendent of the Year. She is the current Florida Superintendent of the Year. Under her leadership, Orlando County Public Schools won the BROAD Prize for Urban Education. This award, considered the Nobel Prize for Public Education, recognizes school districts for large increases in student achievement. This includes narrowing the achievement gap among low-income students and students of color. 19 Collaborative Education Ecosystem Think Big. Insist on the Highest Standards. The convergence of education and industry has exploded into a burgeoning tech ecosystem, where designers, entrepreneurs and investors are bound together by creative co-working spaces, incubators, accelerators and supportive civic entities. From shared curriculum design to workforce development to employee tuition discounts and more, Amazon and Orlando’s education community will be partners in the truest sense. Industry Driven Ensuring a quality workforce means working side-by-side with industry to anticipate and meet future needs. That’s what happened when Verizon Communications relocated its finance hub to Orlando and partnered with the University of Central Florida to launch a capstone business course on the Internet of Things. And when the Walt Disney Company asked UCF to develop a 12-month deep machine learning program to train its technical staff. Partnerships like these give businesses direct access to skilled talent– both in and outside the classroom. Active Partners with Industry Seminole State College and Valencia College have a long history of working with businesses to provide innovative workforce training programs. The colleges were instrumental in recent economic development successes that attracted Verizon and Deloitte, which collectively created nearly 3,000 new jobs in the region. Both Seminole State and Valencia modified curriculum to include additional software language education to increase software engineer graduates at UCF. Seminole State created an additional accounting certificate program that allowed Verizon personnel the necessary instruction to pass the exam for Certified Public Accountants. • Valencia College has also worked with companies like Northrop Grumman to create a specialized program to respond to the industry demand for laser technicians. • Located in Orlando is the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA), created more than a decade ago in collaboration with the City of Orlando, state of Florida and Electronic Arts to cultivate high-wage creative jobs needed by Electronic Arts Tiburon (now EA Games). “Central Florida’s institutions of higher learning are creating a seamless pipeline of social mobility.” – Politico Magazine Better Together The Florida High Tech Corridor is an economic development initiative of three of the country’s largest research institutions, the University of Central Florida, University of Florida and University of South Florida. Together, this unique partnership drives high-tech economic development through a matching grants research program, new technology degrees and workforce development and statewide resources for entrepreneurs. Since 1996, the Corridor has partnered with 350 companies on more than 1,350 projects ranging from aerospace to sustainable energy. John Hitt, Ph.D. “The teamwork aspect is a really neat thing about Orlando. We have businesses working very close President, UCF “The University of Central Florida is known as the partnership university for a reason. We stand ready to assist Amazon in creating the workforce of tomorrow by enhancing our efforts to meet the company’s needs as we’ve done time and again for our business community. “ 20 together with our educational partners, as well as our government and civic leaders to create an ecosystem where we can grow together.” DARYL HOLT CEO EA Sports 21 Attraction Campaign: Come Back to Move Ahead Laws of Attraction We understand that to achieve Amazon’s workforce goals, we will once again harness the power of our partners to create forward-thinking talent attraction programs. Fortunately, the happiest place in the world is also one of the happiest places to work. Named a magnet for young, diverse talent by Forbes, inspired talent is coming in big numbers and staying. Orlando is a wonderful place to live and a great place to build a career. In a recent survey, 75 percent of graduates from the University of Central Florida work in the 11 counties surrounding UCF, and 90 percent plan to stay in the Florida area. That’s 11,250+ graduates each year added to our regional workforce, just from one large university. And for the right job, many more will stay. Magnet for young, diverse talent 11,250+ Graduates added to workforce each year from UCF alone 75% Of UCF’s graduates work in the 11 counties surrounding UCF 90% Plan to stay in the region 22 We’ve produced a lot of talent over the years, and that talent loves to move back to Orlando. When the opportunities arise, Orlandoans are excited to come back to a place that has grown exponentially in the last ten years. That’s why our region’s past talent attraction campaigns have been so successful. Attracting Special Populations Customized landing pages will be designed to meet Amazon’s specific talent recruitment needs, including veteran hiring. These custom landing pages will be built specific to Amazon’s hiring needs with updates and improvements developed throughout all phases of the project. The large scale and collaboration of our higher educational institutions makes it easy for us to measure former graduates and create targeted campaigns to attract and retain former graduates in our region. Dedicated Staff To assist with the coordination of the company’s recruitment, assessment, hiring and other needs of the company, CareerSource Central Florida will fund a staff person to liaise with the various agencies and companies participating in this proposal. Amazon will select the liaison. When Northrup Grumman decided to locate just east of Orlando, the region’s workforce development organization, CareerSource, launched a successful state-funded campaign to recruit engineers. CareerSource Florida and Central Florida have committed to attracting the best talent possible to Orlando for Amazon. “Return to Florida” campaign CareerSource will run a “Return to Florida” campaign utilizing special arrangements with Indeed and LinkedIn, as well as a customized landing page for Amazon, customized promotional material, CareerSource account manager, company liaison to coordinate activities and a variety of career fair activities. CareerSource will provide staff members to develop and implement a college career fair campaign, including staff that will travel to recruit graduates in desired engineering and technical specialties. Staff will attend career fairs and coordinate messaging with the company’s online and social media recruiting strategies. Funding for dedicated campaigns for Amazon could also be available from the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund. This new incentive fund was recently approved by the Florida Legislature and signed into law to help improve public infrastructure and enhance workforce training, encouraging more businesses to locate or grow in Florida. Spouse Relocation Assistance Employment assistance and labor market information will be made available throughout all the phases of the project. CareerSource will develop a website specific to transferring employees which may include customized recruiting materials and messaging that will become a part of the social media and online strategy for transferring employees and spouses. Team members from Orlando who are familiar with the relocation process will visit Amazon to discuss the benefits of the region, answer questions and otherwise assist employees. 23 Innovative Talent Pipeline Partnerships College and University Consortium Our region will create a network among our universities to provide virtual internships for computer science and other majors to develop a broad pipeline of talent for Amazon, supported by jointly appointed faculty members and staff. We will work to establish a one-year post-graduation software engineer “residency” program at Amazon or on an adjacent campus, in partnership with our universities, to tailor advanced experiential learning and coursework for high performing graduates to support Amazon’s specialized talent needs. This will also help to attract highly qualified candidates from across the country. High quality, online learning platforms provided by Full Sail University and other university partners will help to retrain or extend Amazon’s and Orlando’s technical labor force in alignment with Amazon’s specific talent needs and opportunities. Full Sail is also prepared to support Amazon employees and/or family members with a scholarship program. To support the relocation of Amazon employees and key new hires, UCF is prepared to offer a block of in-state tuition waivers to employees and family members as they transition to residency status. Other state universities may offer similar programs depending on need. In addition, our statewide network of universities stands ready to answer the call to broaden the depth and scope of this consortium. Co-located Education Collaborations at Selected Site(s) We will work with Amazon to establish a pre-K through Ph.D. continuing education “Academic Village” adjacent to Amazon’s selected headquarters site, offering a range of jointly developed programs aligned with the company’s mission and talent needs. The village may include: • STEM magnet school built around inquiry-based learning and research beginning with elementary school • Focus on entrepreneurship, including a “maker school” for creation and prototyping new ideas and products • Creativity and executive development program partnering with industry • Jointly appointed college and university faculty members offering customized curriculum for current and future Amazon employees • Amazon-specific Applied Research Institute in partnership with our universities leveraging faculty research expertise and streamlined confidentiality mechanisms and joint research protocols for accelerated applied innovation TM John Hitt President 24 Kent Fuchs President Grant Cornwell President Garry Jones President Sandy Shugart President Ann McGee President Wendy Libby, Ph.D. President T.

No Pixie Dust Required We have obsessed over the future of our region’s transportation system giving you an express lane to connectivity. As the nation’s only quinti-modal hub, the Orlando region accelerates connectivity options via road, sea, air, rail and even space. Before a building comes to life, it first exists as a blueprint, a promise of things to come. This is true too of our region’s transportation system. The blueprints for our current transportation system were created long ago by people who laid the groundwork for future generations to thrive. Our region’s leaders have worked hard to cultivate effective partnerships to accomplish our vision of a seamless transportation system that will safely and efficiently move people and goods through a variety of transportation modes. The community’s infrastructure projects are not reliant on federal funds. In fact, just 20 percent of the region’s road projects are funded by the federal government, significantly lower than the national average of 80 percent. More than $10 billion of federal, state and local dollars will be invested in the region’s transportation system from 2019 to 2040 (not including investments by the Central Florida Expressway Authority and Osceola County Expressway Authority for toll road maintenance, operations and expansion). $3.1 BILLION ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT 26 $800 MILLION SUNRAIL $50 MILLION COAST-TO-COAST TRAIL BILLIONS Urban Area Mobility Statistics Source: 2015 Mobility Scorecard, Texas A&M Transportation Institute URBAN AREA YEARLY DELAY PER AUTO COMMUTER Population over 3 million Hrs Rank1 Seattle >3 million 63 7 Chicago >3 million 61 8 Dallas >3 million 53 11 Atlanta >3 million 52 12 Average >3 million 63 Population from 1 million - 3 million Orlando 1 million - 3 million 46 27 Charlotte 1 million - 3 million 43 35 Memphis 1 million - 3 million 43 35 Average 1 million - 3 million 45 1 1 being the most congested, 101 being the least congested in infrastructure investments 27 4 44 1 528 95 429 MOUNT DORA 415 46 46 Flight Frequency and Cost ORLANDOSANFORD INT’L AIRPORT Destination VOLUSIA BREVARD 17 528 92 528 441 528 417 175+ direct flights to destinations worldwide including daily flights to Seattle, New York, San Francisco Bay Area and Washington, D.C.

Imagine controlling your entire logistics operations from a satelite fleet launched from Port Canaveral. Orlando’s proximity to the space coast takes transportation out of this world. The region is home to four international airports including Orlando International, Orlando-Sanford International, Daytona Beach International, and Orlando Melbourne International. While Orlando International Airport is the 3rd largest origin and destination airport in the United States, the region is also supported by a community of general aviation airports including Orlando Executive and Kissimmee Gateway which provide complementary services and unmatched urban proximity to your HQ2.O site locations. A short drive from Orlando, this multi-use spaceport is the nation’s only human launch center and current site of Blue Origin, Boeing, SpaceX, Lockheed Martin and Space Florida. The Cape Canaveral Spaceport (CCS) is the planet’s premier launch complex for sending humans and payloads to space. The CCS has served as the departure gate for every American manned mission, hundreds of advanced scientific spacecrafts and countless national security satellites. Over the past 60 years, thousands of payloads have been launched from Cape Canaveral. These include every operational Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite, hundreds of communication satellites, national-security remote sensing constellations and early warning weather systems. Orlando International Airport Orlando International Airport (MCO) offers more flights to more places than any other airport in Florida. In fact, Orlando International Airport provides non-stop service to more major U.S. destinations than most other cities in the nation. With more than 43 million annual passengers, Orlando International Airport is the 2nd busiest airport in Florida and 14th busiest in the nation. And though we’re busy, we make it a point to take care of our travelers. Orlando International Airport ranks No.1 in customer satisfaction by J.D. Power and Associates with a score of 778. $1B INVESTMENT IN SPACEPORT INFRASTRUCTURE 43+ MILLION ANNUAL AIRPORT TRAVELLERS No. 3 LARGEST ORIGIN AND DESTINATION AIRPORT IN THE U.S. 4 INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS Recently the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) adopted a $3.1 billion Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to improve the existing facility and expand the footprint to serve more passengers and destinations. Projects include North and South terminal enhancements, facility transportation improvements on automated people mover, accommodations to accept rail and increased parking. Orlando International Airport is ideally located for cargo entering and exiting the country. Not only is it four hours closer to the rest of the U.S. compared to south Florida airports, MCO has a domestic route network that offers more flights to more U.S. destinations than any other Florida airport (and most of the rest of the U.S. non-hub airports), and a thriving cargo trucking community. Orlando is also one of the few airports in the world that can accommodate the new generation, Class 6 aircraft. No.1 IN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BY J.D.

There’s also the invaluable gift of time. Rail travelers can use their commutes to catch up on work, reading, a TV show or some ZZZs. SunRail SunRail is Orlando’s commuter rail. Initial service began in May 2014 serving 12 stations along 31 miles of track. Phase 2 will include 17 stations along 61 miles of track connecting Debary in Volusia County to Poinciana in Osceola County and will be completed by the summer of 2018. The trains consist of one to three cars and have the capacity to carry more than 150 passengers in each car. Some stations provide connections to Amtrak and LYMMO in downtown Orlando. Phase 3 includes an additional connection to Orlando International Airport’s future intermodal terminal. Employers can offer “Commuter Tax Benefits,” saving companies payrollrelated taxes, as well as saving employees money on federal income taxes. Brightline Brightline is a privately funded high-speed rail service that will provide service from Miami to Orlando. The new express train service will connect the downtowns of Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, with a Phase II expansion to Orlando by 2020. 150 PASSENGERS PER CAR 34 35 By LYNX By Car LYNX Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority provides 72 local fixed bus routes (or links), 14 NeighborLinks, four Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) routes referred to as LYMMO, four FastLinks, contracted express bus service and paratransit and commuter assistance vanpools. LYNX also operates express bus routes, providing access to downtown Kissimmee and Orlando International Airport from the Sand Lake SunRail Station. LYNX was the first transit agency in the nation to build, operate and blend its own biodiesel fueling station, and is currently in the process of converting its fleet to compressed natural gas (CNG). More recently, the public transit agency established the LYNX Forward initiative to reimagine transit services in the region. LYNX is further committed to reimagining everything from routes, future light rail and other premium transit line implementation to meet Amazon’s needs. Orlando sits at the crossroads of Florida’s highway network, serving as a hub for distribution and core circulator for residents and visitors. While the region has many transportation improvements planned for construction, there are a few significant projects that will transform transportation and quality of life in Central Florida. These projects come in many forms but they all share two characteristics–large scale and regional impact. I-4 Ultimate Improvement Project Often called the backbone of our transportation system, I-4 is now four years into a complete transformation scheduled for 2021. As the largest transportation infrastructure project in Florida’s history, the I-4 Ultimate Improvement Project encompasses a 21-mile stretch. Initiated through a public-private partnership, a team (I-4 Mobility Partners) was selected in 2014 to enter a 40-year contract with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to design, construct, finance, operate and maintain the I-4 Ultimate corridor. This project will completely reconstruct existing lanes, rebuild 15 major interchanges, build more than 140 bridges and add four express lanes (two in each direction) with managed access points and dynamic pricing. During construction, I-4 Ultimate will maintain the same number of lanes that existed pre-construction during peak travel times. LYMMO LYMMO is a 9.6-mile BRT service circulating in downtown Orlando operated by LYNX with funding provided by the City of Orlando. Celebrating 20 years of service, LYMMO’s success has led LYNX and the City of Orlando to embark on an expansion of LYMMO, serving destinations farther east and west in downtown including Thornton Park, Parramore, the Amway Center, Camping World Stadium, the North Quarter and Creative Village. These expansions are envisioned to operate with automated electric buses. ACCESS LYNX ACCESS LYNX is a shared ride para-transit, door-to-door transportation service. LYNX has been designated as the para-transit coordinator for Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties since October 1992. It provides sponsored and non-sponsored transportation to Transportation Disadvantaged individuals with a mission to provide safe, cost effective transportation to those who, because of disability, age or income, are unable to provide their own transportation. The service provides 2,000+ scheduled passenger trips per day using vehicles specially equipped for individuals with various disabilities. This service far exceeds national standards providing service 24 hours a day, seven days a week with no boundaries in the service area. I-4 ULTIMATE IS THE LARGEST TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT IN FLORIDA’S HISTORY Award-Winning Design and Construction The I-4 Ultimate project earned the state’s first prestigious Envision Platinum recognition from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) for its sustainability efforts of environmental, social and economic impact on the community. The project has minimized environmental impacts, including relocating protected wildlife, using efficient machinery, controlling stormwater runoff, planting non-invasive vegetation and recycling 99 percent of the concrete and steel removed from roads and bridges. The project also facilitates the use of alternative transportation by integrating rail projects and improving pedestrian crossings and connections with bike trails. Beyond the Ultimate There are plans to extend this same express lane concept beyond the current 21-mile project. FDOT is evaluating five additional projects that would provide 60 miles of reliable transportation options through the heart of Central Florida. Wekiva Parkway The $1.7 billion Wekiva Parkway completes a beltway around metropolitan Orlando with a 25-mile toll road through parts of Orange, Seminole, and Lake Counties. The entire parkway is expected to be complete in 2021. 72 Fixed bus routes 36 2,000 ACCESS LYNX disability passenger trips 14 Neighborhood links 200 miles of fiber along the Central Florida Expressway Central Florida Expressway Authority The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) includes 109 centerline miles and 767 lane miles (including ramps) of limited access expressways and when CFX completes its portion of the Wekiva Parkway in 2018, the system will grow to more than 120 centerline and 811 lane miles. A fiber optic network (FON) of more than 200 miles runs on both sides of the system in a route-redundancy configuration along all system facilities. Osceola County Expressway Authority The Osceola County Expressway Authority began looking toward 2040 with its first master plan. To prepare for significant growth in Osceola County, the authority targeted four expressway segments, forming a 57-mile ring around the county’s interior urban growth boundary. The first segment of Poinciana Parkway was recently completed. 37 THE CITY OF ORLANDO IS A BRONZE LEVEL BICYCLE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY, AS DESIGNATED BY THE LEAGUE OF AMERICAN BICYCLISTS. By Bike or On Foot LAKE ORANGE Our region’s explosive growth brought us increased demand for transportation options early on, and our planning reflects that. Cyclists, triathletes and weekend warriors routinely travel to Orlando to train and compete. For our residents, it’s a way of life. With constant and increased demand, the region is expanding all elements of its bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure with extension of the regional trail networks, making connections and closing gaps in the bike lane and sidewalk network and expanding the overall bicycle and pedestrian network to improve transit connectivity and user safety. Coast-to-Coast Trail The Coast-to-Coast Trail will run approximately 250 miles across Florida, connecting the Gulf Coast at St. Petersburg, through Central Florida, to the Atlantic Coast at Canaveral National Seashore. Within the region, around 75 percent of the trail is currently in operation or is funded for construction. Given the significance of the project and opportunities it provides, the 2014 Florida State Legislature provided $50 million in funding over a 5-year period to fill the remaining gaps between existing trails to form this continuous multi-use trail across the state. Spanning nine counties, this is a true testament to state, regional and local collaboration. 42 Miles of off-street trails 265 Miles of bicycle lanes DOWNTOWN ORLANDO The City of Orlando’s bicycle transportation network contains 42 miles of off-street trails, 265 miles of bicycle lanes and 53 miles of signed routes. Over the next two years the City of Orlando is anticipated to build more than five miles of off-street trails to fill gaps in the trail network. 53 LAKE POLK LAKE NONA TUPPERWARE Miles of signed routes SUNBRIDGE NEOCITY 38 39 Digital Infrastructure: We’re Lit Osceola County is currently exploring the next generation, high bandwidth, low latency 10Gbps+ fiber optic network at NeoCity.

Orlando is a community built on inclusion; by welcoming so many new students and residents from all over the world, the city has grown into the diverse melting pot that it is today. The numbers speak for themselves. Between 2010 and 2015, Orlando experienced a 21.5 percent growth rate in its minority population, placing Orlando fifth in minority growth in the U.S. ahead of more populous cities like Miami, New York and Portland. Orlando also has the second fastest-growing Spanish-speaking population among large metros in the country. “As an immigrant, I wasn’t sure how accepting business leaders in this community would be to a gay Latino. But what I’ve found is that Orlando is as multicultural as the millions who visit us every year and the business leadership is as diverse as the community.” At its core, Orlando is a warm and welcoming region made stronger by its people who bring unique ideas, backgrounds and perspectives. Orlando is not just a region filled with diversity–it’s a place where anyone can thrive.

This diversity is represented by an explosion of growth in the local startup community, with a range of skillful experts finding new ways to use technology. Many are doing so with an emphasis on social good and sustainability. UniKey Technologies, Inc., a graduate of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program, is a leader in smart access control technology.

Orlando is at the forefront of the conversation about how social entrepreneurship can improve communities and solve global challenges. Leading this conversation is local entrepreneur Shawn Seipler. Shawn built a social enterprise, Clean the World, to recycle hotel soap products to help prevent millions of hygiene-related deaths each year. Limbitless Solutions 300 When Albert Manero was a kid, his parents taught him the importance of making the world a better place. “They always encouraged me to use my education to help others and to dream big dreams,” he says. “Now I want to inspire others to help engineer hope for the world.” Emerging companies That inspiration has taken form in Limbitless Solutions, a nonprofit devoted to bringing 3-D printed bionic arms and hands to children at no cost to their families. Leading a multidisciplinary group of volunteer UCF students and alumni, Manero has designed and donated battery-operated devices to young people across the United States, and given the plans to international groups so they can assist children in their regions. 600 Entrepreneurs have been assisted by the nationally recognized UCF incubation program and venture accelerator Limbitless Solutions gained national attention when actor Robert Downey, Jr. helped deliver an updated Iron Man-themed arm to 7-year-old Alex Pring, the recipient of the group’s first creation in July 2014.

Stunning historic homes of all shapes, styles and sizes are woven together by brick paved streets and winding sidewalks that connect residents to the neighborhood park that hosts Fall and Spring little leagues and multiple lakes reflecting the downtown skyline. Two longstanding A-rated schools, Blankner (K-8) and Boone High School, contribute to the allure and fuel its coveted real estate value. 2: Lake Eola The fusion of urban life and simplicity can be found within a myriad of apartments and condominiums wrapping Lake Eola, the crown jewel of Downtown Orlando. Lake Eola is downtown’s central park and center stage to festivals and the country’s 5th ranked Farmer’s Market (American Farmland Trust).

Parks and Rec The region has over 200+ parks as well as hiking, trails, recreational centers and more lakes than you could ever enjoy. Community Readiness Sometimes the flip side of our typically sunny climate brings tropical storms. When Hurricane Irma approached Florida, Orlandoans prepared and stood ready to help the state. The region’s inland location, approximately 45 miles from Florida’s Atlantic coast and 85 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, insulates our area from the brunt of tropical systems, storm surge and dramatically mitigates the risk associated with a direct hit from a hurricane. Many companies have chosen Orlando as their business location in Florida because the region is typically less affected than communities on either coast. Prior to 2004, it had been 40 years since Orlando had experienced a hurricane. In that year and again in 2017, the downtown core never lost power. Following Irma, most area businesses, including the theme parks, were back in action within 48 hours of the storm’s passage. Well prepared and coordinated, the region’s disaster readiness is among the best in the country with trained emergency responders who practice their techniques daily as they protect the more than 186,000+ tourists who visit the region every day. Safety and Security The Orange County Sherriff’s Office and all other local entities are committed to the continued safety and security of our citizens. According to FBI Uniform Crime Report (UCR) figures, in 2016 the estimated number of violent crime offenses for the United States increased 4.1 percent from the 2015 estimate. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office saw a 3.6 percent decrease during the same period of time. 59 5,000+ While other parts of our story involve words, this part is all about taste. From award-winning restaurants to family-run favorites, food culture is one of the major ingredients in the Orlando experience. RESTAURANTS TO TEMPT YOUR TASTEBUDS Food Culture Orlando is a melting pot of Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Caribbean and Southern roots. Once again, our gracious year-round weather rewards us with an incredible assortment of farm fresh produce and our waterways supply us with freshly caught seafood daily. Inspired by our roots and nature’s bounty, a new wave of independent restaurants is springing up around the region–from food trucks to haute cuisine–and instead of talking about it, you’ve got to take a bite. While Universal and Disney deserve credit for long-ago elevating Orlando’s dining with Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Emeril’s Orlando at Universal Orlando Resort, the wave of celebrity chefs keeps building. The new Disney Springs is now home to restaurants under the watchful eye of four James Beard Foundation-nominated chefs. Now a whole new generation of culinary stars lights up the Orlando skyline, with restaurants opening almost every week. The “local” vibe made headlines when James Beard-nominated Chefs James and Julie Petrakis opened The Ravenous Pig in Winter Park, then expanded with Cask & Larder and adjacent Swine & Sons, all focused on local and sustainable sourcing. Head to Orlando’s global kitchens. For Cuban, it’s Black Bean Deli in a former Phillips 66 gas station in the Mills 50 District. Pho-philes can also get their fix inside of Mills 50’s Vietnamese neighborhood at Little Saigon or to Ming Bistro for dim sum. Fans of Puerto Rican mofongo head to Kissimmee’s Melao Bakery, and for ceviche, the Peruvian Ceviche House on Semoran Boulevard sits side-by-side with dozens of Latino restaurants. As we continue to see more culinary personalities enter the mix, Amazonians will reap the rewards. Dovecote 60 61 Cost of Doing Business We’ve made the case that the Orlando region has the workforce and transportation infrastructure to meet your demand and that our community culture is ready to welcome Amazon with open arms but let’s talk money… Considering employee payroll, fringe and mandated benefits, real estate payments, property tax and overall operating costs, Orlando serves up savings like sunshine. Let’s break it down. Taxes Utilities Utilities in Orlando are five percent cheaper than Chicago, nine percent cheaper than Atlanta and 29 percent cheaper than Seattle, translating to savings of millions of dollars per year. In addition to our already competitive rates, Orlando has dedicated utility partners prepared to work aggressively with you to offset the costs, which you will find outlined per site. Not only are they committed to getting the best rates possible but also in the most sustainable and reliable ways. Construction Costs According to the R.S. Means 2016 Construction Index, Orlando’s cost of construction and labor is significantly cheaper than the national average, scoring 87.4. Your construction dollars go further in Orlando. $5 billion of capital investment nationwide would buy you an additional $630 million worth of labor and materials in Orlando and $150 million less in Seattle. Employee Payroll Orlando is able to sustain competitive wage rates without sacrificing quality. As you learned in the workforce chapter, Orlando’s labor is less expensive than the national average 90 percent of the time. Compare this to other major metros where wage rates can be as high as 138 percent of the Orlando average. Paying a software engineer $100,000 in Seattle is equivalent to paying that same engineer $72,464 in Orlando, annual savings of $27,536 per person. This equates to saving $121 million in payroll annually on software development engineers by the end of phase three. $5 BILLION IN ORLANDO BUYS AMAZON AN EXTRA $630 MILLION AMAZON COULD SAVE $121 MILLION Fringe and Mandated Benefits Expect to save anywhere from five to 15 percent on costs associated with reemployment taxes by locating in Orlando instead of another major metro like Charlotte or Dallas. Florida’s reemployment tax rate is set at a minimum of 0.1 percent and a maximum of 5.4 percent based on a salary up to $7,000 per employee. This places Florida among the lowest in terms of the maximum rate. Additionally, Florida employers in the voluntary market pay on average $1.66 for workers compensation per $100 of payroll. This is the 19th lowest average workers comp rate in the country.

This abatement is for the county/city portion of the millage rate. The total millage rate is the sum of the rates of all applicable taxing units including counties, cities, schools and special districts. Florida has no state property tax. Taxes are levied on real and tangible personal property. All property is appraised at full market value and taxes are assessed by local assessors on 100 percent of appraised value. Total millage rates in the Orlando region range from 15.4670 to 26.7716 with an approximate percentage valuation of 1.7 percent. Sales Tax Florida levies a six percent general use sale or use tax on consumers. Some counties within the region impose additional rates from 0.5 to 1.5 percent for a combined sales and use tax rate ranging from 6.5 to 7.5 percent and those will each be addressed per site. There are numerous sales and use tax exemptions including: • • Commercial space activity — launch vehicles, payloads and fuel, machinery and equipment for production of items used exclusively at Spaceport Florida Total Operating Cost Local Index $124,876,233 $73,271,590 $85,991,198 $5,768,376,125 100.0% $123,291,708 $117,505,880 $120,494,064 $166,192,139 $145,959,879 $61,980,386 $132,045,793 $56,691,321 $51,848,239 $6,061,865,676 $6,091,249,861 $6,156,026,765 $6,290,692,049 $6,681,342,612 105.1% 105.6% 106.7% 109.1% 115.8% When you look at the overall balance of operating costs, Orlando is a smart option saving you money where it counts.

Here’s why: Unique to Orlando is the role that tourism plays, generating millions of dollars in tourist development tax revenue.

Kitchen. Playground. Classroom. Boardroom. Muse. While other downtowns across the U.S. have declined or embarked upon ambitious pivots, we have been thriving and growing steadily, blending the town-like charm of our brick-paved streets and friendly spirit with the unbridled vivacity and progressive verve of a world-class city. At the core of Orlando’s past, present and future is its downtown, the city center of a seven county region on the rise that is defining the promise, potential and pace of the nation’s third largest state. Downtown Orlando, or DTO as locals refer to it, has been the focus of countless media stories with one central theme: come, see for yourself, and we promise you’ll be surprised by what you find. Authentic Urban Infill This is your Orlando opportunity for a true, authentic urban infill campus experience in the heart of a healthy, safe, and magnetic city center that is experiencing unprecedented momentum and growth. Mobility Fluidity The region’s most imaginative and holistic transportation systems intersect here, delivering you everywhere. Shovel-ready Center of Investment The right time and the right place unite to form a site strategy for HQ2.O that would enable it to become the commerce anchor and catalyst partner within Creative Village– a 68-acre redevelopment area, wrapped by current investments of more than $485 million that are 100% shovel-ready. Surrounded by Amazonian Talent In 2019, Creative Village will welcome 7,700+ students into the new University of Central Florida and Valencia College downtown campus, a facility that is planned for a projected 15,000 students. Powerful Partnership You cannot survey our downtown skyline without seeing the monumental results of powerful partnership. From historic investments in infrastructure to vivid sports and entertainment venues, our ability to engineer complex and far-reaching public-private alliances will lead our creativity and strategy for HQ2.O. Opportunity Economy Culture A growth-oriented business culture that attracts the creative class has created an economically diverse center of commerce and technology that is becoming the new tech hub of the South. Downtown Orlando is a place that delivers on promises and where our size and inclusive culture welcome all to make their mark and make us stronger. We are a place where opportunity is abundant, dreams are celebrated and accomplishments are reflected in our unique courage. Our opportunity economy is thriving, and we would be honored for Amazon to amplify it. 2 3 PEACHTREE RD. COLONIAL DR. 50 50 D AVE . GA R L A N HIBISCUS CT. 2 ALEXANDER PLC.

Green spaces are anchor tenants, catalysts for commercial spaces and the spark that inspires. Blue spaces are liquid exclamation points, magnetic lakes that reflect sunsets and our city lights. The urban campus we’ve assembled for HQ2.O is immersed within Downtown’s academic and creative class heart. HQ2.O will be surrounded by the talented workforce of tomorrow and the bright, creative minds of today. The HQ2.O campus will be one of several catalysts within an established and expanding urban core. The site strategy enables HQ2.O to embed and expand inside our region’s most kinetic area. The devised site framework provides flexibility, creativity and an array of supportive experiences and services in tandem with influential community development initiatives in addition to unprecedented public and private sector investments currently underway. UCF EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT CENTER Our strategy includes custom configuration of different areas of infill redevelopment opportunities in DTO to absorb the energy and characteristics of our diverse Downtown as you progress throughout the HQ2.O campus. This exceedingly walkable campus would integrate multiple modes of transit with powerhouse regional assets like UCF Downtown.

CREATIVE VILLAGE IS ONE OF THE LARGEST TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENTS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES The 68-acre public-private development includes a $485 million investment in its first phase of development. Creative Village is anchored by the nation’s newest, innovative urban higher education campus, University of Central Florida’s and Valencia College’s Downtown Campus, and integrates a mix of affordable, market-rate and student housing with new office space for high-tech, digital media and creative companies in addition to a dynamic mix of restaurants, public art, walkable public spaces and iconic parks. Located adjacent to LYNX Central Station and SunRail and serviced by the LYMMO downtown circulator, Creative Village is one of the largest transit-oriented developments in the Southeastern United States. Education is the foundation of the Creative Village vision. In addition to the UCF + Valencia College downtown campus, Creative Village is adjacent to the new 14-acre Orange County Public Schools Academic Center for Excellence (ACE), a community school serving children in preschool through eighth grade that includes medical, dental, counseling, and childcare services for the students and their families. The Creative Village parcels are Amazon’s prime opportunity for its HQ2.O Phase I development, with turnkey sites at the epicenter of this mission-driven public-private partnership. Co-locating in Creative Village along with UCF and Valencia College will create an unprecedented opportunity to influence the educational ecosystem forming in Downtown, and impact the lifelong educational attainment of the neighboring Parramore community. 100% CITY OWNED AND SHOVEL-READY LYNX CENTRAL STATION 6 3 10 UCF CENTER FOR EMERGING MEDIA 7 HUGHEY AVE.

Because the truth is, there’s another, perhaps greater half of DTO you have to slow down to see. Collaboration Moves Us An example of the creativity and collaboration Amazon can expect is exemplified in our approach to helping develop a customized transportation solution for Florida Hospital’s Health Village. Florida Hospital employees get a 25 percent subsidy from the hospital on their monthly SunRail passes and prepaid value plans through their Commuter Benefit provider. The remaining 75% is deducted, pre-tax through payroll. SunRail has worked with the hospital to provide firsttime riders with a special pass that provides a free 30-day trial designed to spur mass transit adoption for traditional commuters.

Downtown Orlando is the heart of our region and this means more than a geographic center; this is about the way we treat one another and the legacy we are leaving for tomorrow. The common ties that bind people, businesses, organizations and institutions make up our unique DTO community. Strong linkages and collaboration among these diverse groups create an intricate and colorful social fabric that supports and cares for our community, its economy and our most precious natural resource of all—our people. We are a diverse and open community that takes pride in taking care of our own and celebrates the kaleidoscope of diversity that defines us. Orlando United is our universal rally cry and we wrap ourselves tightly in a rainbow every day of the year—not just for PRIDE month. When our community was confronted with unthinkable hate at the Pulse nightclub, we responded with compassion, unity and love. In an instant, what would have potentially torn apart other places, had the opposite effect on Downtown Orlando. Faith leaders shifted to sermons of love over hate. Children created artwork and makeshift lawn posters emblazoned with rainbows. We adopted the rainbow as the universal brand color of Downtown Orlando. The events at Pulse galvanized our community, demonstrating our courage, collaborative spirit and strength under dire circumstances. We united around tragedy and through this journey, we have shown the world and one another what a resilient, compassionate place looks like. It is with deep sorrow that we have already had to share our experience with another city. While preparing this submission, members of our City of Orlando team were in Las Vegas sharing lessons we have learned to help their city acclimate and coordinate resources in the wake of their tragedy​. Today we continue our progressive social justice agenda to nurture equality and advance humanity. The Orlando City Council signed the Charter for Compassion and unanimously adopted a resolution designating Orlando as a Compassionate City.

With HQ2.O’s Phase I program best suited for immediate delivery within the Creative Village area, there are several opportunities for Amazon to expand its footprint and infuse its brand within the fabric of downtown and beyond. 1 Bob Carr Theater Adaptive Reuse The Bob Carr Theater was constructed in 1927 as the Municipal Auditorium. In 1926, the land reserved for the Orange County Fair was used for the auditorium. The venue opened on February 21, 1927, with a performance of Aida by the La Scala Grand Opera Company. Throughout the years, the venue became an entertainment mecca that included Elvis Presley and other iconic performers. In 1974, the Orlando City Council decided to renovate the auditorium and transform it into a state-of-the-art theater and concert hall. The structural and technical changes to the theater in subsequent years that helped it become the home to the Orlando Ballet, Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, Festival of Orchestras and Broadway Across America. The Bob Carr Theater is a unique development proposition that can add value to the Amazon campus as a multi-purpose facility, event space, auditorium or other innovative demonstration space. In addition, adaptive reuse of this facility will add a cultural richness and history into the Amazon HQ2.O project. 44 2 3 Activation of Lake Dot Park Since the original concept drawings for Creative Village, activation of Lake Dot with technology and art has been part of the vision. This unique water body provides a direct visual gateway from the north to DTO’s Parcel #1 and can enhance the visual identity of Creative Village and Amazon from both Colonial Drive and I-4 through interactive lighting, displays, floating art, or other key features. Customized Gateway Experiences Under I-4 To enhance the accessibility between the east and west sides of I-4, there is a unique design opportunity to create an experiential environment beneath the Interstate bridges at Amelia Street and Livingston Street, the primary street connections to LYNX Central Station and SunRail from the Creative Village. Gobo projections, LED screens or other artistic enhancements present design value for the Amazon brand and customization of its key gateways to the urban campus in Creative Village. 7 4 5 6 Power-filled A OUC proposes to include an iconic custom-designed solar array in the shape of the Amazon logo icon or the letter A in its DTO campus.. Direct I-4 Frontage While all of the Downtown sites have some visibility from Interstate 4, DTO Parcels #6 and #7 directly front I-4, providing superb signage opportunities and full showcase of architectural features. In addition, these two parcels are just one block away from LYNX Central Station and SunRail. 7 Central Park in Creative Village Central Park has been an iconic feature of the master plan for Creative Village since its inception. This opportunity to provide a public open space within this dynamic hub of technology-driven businesses, educational institutions and its residents, is a unique expansion to the Phase I plan for HQ2.O. Design and construction of Central Park can allow this space to tell the story of modern technology, art and integration of an outdoor living room for the neighborhood. Downtown Special Sign District Creative Village and other areas of Downtown already enjoy special opportunities for digital signs, screens, interactive storefronts and Gobos that are not available in other areas of the City. Amazon has a turnkey opportunity to maximize the value of this in-place ordinance to showcase technology in architecture, electronic art and other such features to maximize the value of its real estate investment. 45 8 AmazoneSM Under-I What promises to be DTO’s most action-packed outdoor shaded recreational park is only missing one thing: a name. Naming rights are available for the feature park that will unite the east and west sides of Downtown. City Ambassador to Amazon DTO is changing the way businesses join our economy of opportunity by streamlining processes and functions between the government and private sectors. It is within this unity of vision that our dedicated City Ambassador to Amazon role has been conceived. 9 Amazon’s dedicated Ambassador will facilitate the progression of HQ2.O from A to Z. Accelerating timelines, sharing information, ensuring access to, and the commitment of, decision makers will make for a smooth, seamless process—no return policy needed. In addition, Amazon’s Ambassador will have the support of a dedicated team of City Staff who are experts in their respective disciplines (legal, sustainability, building plan reviewers, engineers, inspectors and others as needed) to ensure a streamlined, positive and proactive process. Through this Ambassador Experience, we anticipate the following project timeline for parcel 1 (Lake Dot) or parcels 6 and 7 (I-4 frontage parcels) in Creative Village fulfilling Phase I’s 500,000 SF program: SCHEDULE FOR PHASE I OPENING TASK/ASPECT Drafting of Purchase & Sale Agreement and Development Agreement MONTHS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Approval of land sale by City Council Design Development by Amazon (TBD by Amazon) Creative Village Development Review Committee St. Johns River Water Management District City of Orlando Building Permits (TBD - City will Expedite) Construction (TBD by Amazon - Est. 18 month construction process) Grand Opening of HQ2.O 46 47 Project Preferences Metropolitan area with more than one million people Stable, friendly business environment Urban, suburban location that can attract technical talent Community that thinks big, creatively Development-prepped site The Orlando MSA is one of the fastest growing regions in the country, and is currently home to more than 2.3 million people.

Well, this place exists. It’s Tavistock’s Central Florida Holdings in Orlando, Florida. It’s Lake Nona, it’s Sunbridge, it’s our life, our livelihood, our passion and our family. We look forward to welcoming you. 1 When we embarked upon our journey of creating a new city—a city within the City of Orlando— we knew that urgency and patience, at the same time, would be key. The urgency to make quick decisions, and the patience to make smart decisions. The patience to say “no” when “yes” was much easier. Patience to do things right, the first time, and the urgency to actually do them. The urgency in creating our foundational strategy before moving the first piece of dirt, and the patience to be unwavering in our commitment to it. Our Narrative Tomorrow is Day One As we started our planning process, we did not just look at what was required on that day one, we thought about day one in a year, five years, ten years and ten decades later. We wanted a density that works—drives connections and convenience with a mix of uses—not a concrete jungle without the luxury of space. Overbuilt infrastructure that wasn’t necessary, but we knew would one day mean moving a partner into their new building in months versus years. Opening schools before their need, recognizing quality educational institutions are a fundamental element of great communities. Constructing multimodal transportation corridors that may sit latent for a while, but in the future, would be the critical connection points of a growing community. Laying 10-gigabit fiber in expensive duct-banks throughout our property, when the telecoms wouldn’t, because IoT and connection is a fundamental utility enabling the future of cities. Going through rigorous negotiations to structure entitlements in a way that had never been done before so that we would have the long-term flexibility to adapt to market shifts, to the ever-changing world, and most importantly, to our partner’s needs. These things have proven to be the platform for a growing, thriving city. This backbone has allowed us to do things, and continue to do things, that are not possible in other places. It has created a culture of execution and innovation where nothing short of excellence is acceptable. That we must design the way we think and contemplate the future. That everything is on the table. As our city has grown, so too has our experience. We’ve learned through action. We’ve stood sideby-side with our partners as more than 10 million square feet was constructed over the past ten years. We’ve learned from mistakes and successes, from opportunities missed and opportunities realized. We’ve watched as more than 2,000 people a year move into our community, choosing to bring their families here, to make this their home. We’ve welcomed thousands who were recruited from all over the globe. People who have chosen to work in a new, exciting place, where peak performance is a way of life and their wellbeing is a priority. Some of our successes have happened in the most organic way. On our first day one, we could have never imagined that one day the Global Wellness Institute would call us, “the most sophisticated example in the world of what master planning for wellness can accomplish.” We never dreamed that we would have three major colleges establish campuses on our holdings. That a premiere bio-medical research institution would choose us as their east coast location. That the United States Tennis Association would build the largest tennis facility in the world here and move their team from New York. That Johnson & Johnson would choose us as the site for their first-ever longitudinal community study, and deem us a “Living Laboratory.” That Technogym would partner with us to create the first U.S. Wellness Ecosystem. That Cisco would designate us its first Iconic Smart + Connected city in the U.S. But as these things came to be, it was evident that our community, our family, was focused on wellbeing. They wanted to live their best life. This has become part of our fabric, woven into every decision, every conversation. Now we plan for staircases to be the most prominent feature, not elevators. We build buildings that are not only LEED certified but also Delos WELL certified. We have developed more than 44 miles of trails. We focus on how the built environment makes people healthier, happier. We are proud that our residents, co-workers and guests experience something unique here. They understand and embrace the importance of wellbeing for every person. They know and expect that our community is family, and this built environment gives them every opportunity to thrive. Our biggest success, and point of pride, is our people. The people who choose to live, work, learn and play in our city are amazing. The diversity, openness and engagement of our residents is genuinely awe-inspiring. We knew we wanted to build something unique, not a typical city. Distinct and quality architecture was a non-negotiable. Diverse housing types for every person, no matter their stage of life or desire, would always be met. We hoped this would attract a unique group of people, and we continue to be amazed at how right that assumption was. We can’t explain with 100% certainty why 80% of our residents have a college degree, why our average age is 36, or why we are the fastest-growing community in Central Florida, but we are excited by it. The one thing we do know is that it has happened organically…and this is why we are so proud. We know that we can only influence people so much. We simply present our story, they have to make the decision. It is the people who are living it every day that bring it to life, the ones that tell their friends and family that this is the best place to be. And now, we are excited about today. About the day one that greeted us this morning. We woke up thinking about you. Thinking, what would Amazonians say we should build at our Town Center, how would they help us shape those 3.8 million square feet? We are thinking about the 650 hotel rooms under development and how can we change an industry. We are dreaming about what Amazon’s day one looks like in our city. How would we work with Amazon to change the way Amazonians live, not just at work, but at home, in our neighborhood, in our community? We are thinking about all the potential partners that would welcome your team. The thousands of students nearby, that would be clamoring for a chance to join you. We are thinking about synergies with our team, our residents, and our partners who bring the innovative ideas to the table that make things happen. We want Amazon, and Amazonians, to be part of our community, our city. We want to offer you the opportunity to not just build a building or establish a presence, we want to join hands with you, to become your partner. We want you to help us take the spark that has already happened, the growth trajectory we are on, and accelerate it, help shape it. All in Central Florida, built on a foundation of hospitality, a welcoming spirit where no dream is too big. You can be part of the team that is exploring, developing, and executing on: the future of homes and how they are built; creating commercial buildings that improve workers’ lives; disrupting and advancing the physical components of retail at scale, in Orlando—a setting that is a microcosm of the U.S.; exploring the impact of technology on hospitality and how guests interact with the buildings, their surroundings and each other; testing new utility strategies that achieve higher levels of sustainability; creating a transportation network that makes people safer, gives them back more time in their day and is exponentially more efficient. This is the place where, together, we can have an impact on the future of cities. We are a partner that Amazon can dream with. A partner that has the ability and resources to execute on those dreams. At Tavistock there is only one person that needs to make the decision, not a committee. We have the capital, land, entitlements, utilities, transportation system, labor force and technology to execute today. We have experience in developing, constructing and delivering the highest-quality buildings and environments, on a large scale. We are willing to partner in ways that are unique. We are offering millions in incentives. We are offering thousands of residential units, for your control, to ensure the right housing for your team is always there. We are offering an aggressive and permanent employee relocation package. We are joined with JD Power’s #1 rated mega-airport in the U.S., in a tax-haven state with sunshine year-round. We are offering a site, in a region, that has more than 500,000 higher-education students, less than 40 minutes from the leading spaceport in the U.S. We are offering a financial structure that allows you to maintain capital efficiency. We are offering a political and governmental structure that is waiting with open arms to meet every one of your goals. But most important, we are offering a place where your people will be happy, healthy and productive. A place where they will be proud to say they are from. We woke up with an urgency today. We patiently wait for day one tomorrow. 2 3 Lake Nona Town Center – Phase I Tavistock Central Florida Holdings Lake Nona & Sunbridge Spanning the City of Orlando, Orange and Osceola Counties Approved Entitlements Hotel Rooms Residential Units Non-residential SF 9,000 44,013 32,117,999 Investment 4 2006 – 2016 2017 – 2020 Public Infrastructure $204,400,000 $1,736,110,000 Vertical Development $4,036,955,200 $2,307,558,500 TOTAL $4,241,355,200 $4,043,668,500 We’ve set the foundation.

We’re ready for you. 5 Our Mission Statement: “The partners here will create the future at Lake Nona, and our imagination is our only limit.” To Create the Ideal Place that Inspires Human Potential Through Innovative Collaboration ALEX GORSKY CEO Johnson & Johnson Tavistock Group is a privately held investment organization founded by Joe Lewis more than 40 years ago. With investments in hundreds of companies across 10 countries, Tavistock Group’s holdings are diverse and significant in scale. The company’s investment sectors include sports, restaurants, real estate including resort properties and private clubs, master-planned communities, life sciences, finance, energy, consumer products and retail. Headquartered in The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, Tavistock Group has offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Poland, Bulgaria, Mexico and Argentina. “When you build out a community with this infrastructure, it’s going to have legs for decades.” JOHN CHAMBERS Executive Chairman and Former CEO Cisco “As the prestige of the Lake Nona project has grown, more institutions are coming aboard.” THE NEW YORK TIMES September 2016 With a real estate portfolio highlighted by Lake Nona and Sunbridge, Tavistock Development Company is setting a new standard for the way in which business and residential communities are being designed, developed, marketed and programmed, focusing on high quality, technologically rich and innovative development. Lake Nona was also recognized by Cisco as the only designated “Iconic Smart + Connected Community” in the U.S. – one of only nine such communities in the world. Tavistock Development Company has a unique vision for what makes communities thrive. Through self-investment, Tavistock has produced a thoughtfully designed, “neo-urban” community that leverages the best aspects of community planning, technology, architecture, sustainability, business development, location and quality of life. A desirable, 21st century lifestyle requires an approach to community design that is focused on enhancing how we live, work, learn and play, all while addressing the physical, mental and emotional aspects of a person’s health and wellbeing. Part of that focus is on the built environment and part is on the programming or soft infrastructure side. Tavistock has done both, earning accolades and results, to create market-leading projects. Laureate Park Village Center 6 7 Residential Options Tavistock developments offer one of the widest breadth of products in the U.S., from apartments (micro, urban, modern flats and garden) and for-sale housing, to townhomes and multi-million dollar estates... more than 1,500 new residences started construction in the first six months of 2017 alone. The Most Attractive Location for Employee Relocation. Quality of Life Unique Incentives for Tavistock Holdings With a highly mobile workforce in the U.S., having a site and a partner that can be creative in supporting the most attractive relocation package is key. Additional regional and government incentives are listed in the individual site sections. CDD A “Neo-Urban” community, thoughtfully designed from the ground up to enable a healthier, more sustainable, and happier life for our residents—all connected by a minimum 10G fiber backbone. “Lake Nona has attracted great minds from around the globe.” TERRI FINKEL, MD, PhD PhD Physician and Chair of the Department of Pediatrics and Pediatrician-in-Chief and Chief Scientific Officer Nemours Children’s Hospital With Amazon’s construction of 8 million square feet of corporate office, the Improvement Districts can provide approximately $100 million in related public infrastructure, including roads, utilities, parks, transit and parking. Funding requires an amendment to the Capital Improvement Plan and approval by the District Board, which meets monthly. Tavistock retains the majority position on the District Board.   Housing  Tavistock is willing to construct a minimum of 1,000 single-family homes and 1,000 apartment units for Amazonians pursuant to a master lease with Amazon. This will allow Amazon flexibility to control the cost of living for their employees over time. Tavistock will agree to release individual homes from the master lease upon purchase by Amazonians. This is in addition to the development of thousands of homes for which entitlements are in place. Capital  In order to facilitate Amazon’s capital efficiency, limit development risk, and allow Amazon to focus on its business, Tavistock is willing to fund and construct Amazon’s HQ2.0 of 500,000 to 8 million square feet, pursuant to a master lease structure or development agreement.   Brokerage “Having the GuideWell Innovation Center located in Lake Nona, which was built on the spirit of collaboration and innovation, helps us recruit top talent looking to surround themselves with leaders eager to partner and transform their industries.” Tavistock will assist Amazonians with residential relocation services through its affiliated  residential real estate brokerage and will rebate all Amazonians 25% of the routine real estate commissions for any residential purchase within Tavistock’s land holdings.   Homebuilding Homebuilders will provide a 10% discount to Amazonians on options selected for any home built on Tavistock’s Central Florida Holdings.

Tavistock’s Lake Nona community boasts an incredibly talented residential base with more than 80% of residents with a college degree and 45% having completed graduate school. For more than a decade, award-winning Lake Nona has attracted forward-thinking business innovators and highly educated residents committed to building a modern, 21st century environment that enables meaningful and impactful lives. 36 with a college degree average age 45% 1 completed graduate school Central to the development, growth and success of our communities is the concept of anchoring commercial development around clusters of excellence in health and wellness, sports and performance, education and technology, where the right businesses and institutions are located in proximity to foster collaboration and industry breakthroughs. Building a community based on this strategy has allowed us to bring in the right new industries into the region to fuel economic growth and job creation. st neo-urban community “The Lake Nona community was really the top choice for so many reasons.

There was also the airport. We really wanted a location where our people, thousands of people getting in and out really quickly, maximizing their time away from home. And also having an environment where there are fun things to do while you’re here as well. I think all of those make Lake Nona one of the best destinations for our new facility.” — Groundbreaking of KPMG’s new Lake Nona campus ORLANDO SENTINEL LYNNE DOUGHTIE CEO AND CHAIRMAN KPMG US Canvas Market 10 11 “At-home workers benefit from a high-bandwidth infrastructure that delivers internet service at one gigabyte per second.” Homes for Everyone THE NEW YORK TIMES SEPTEMBER 2016 We offer numerous diverse housing options from sprawling multimillion-dollar estates and multi-family houses to townhomes, bungalows and affordable apartment complexes across our developments within neo-urban, country club and suburban settings. Many of our neighborhoods are built on a gigabit fiber network with an intentionally planned ecosystem that promotes activity, sustainability, social connection, learning and wellbeing. Laureate Park Community Garden Of note, a recent resident survey shows that more than 25% of new homebuyers are moving to a Lake Nona neighborhood from within the immediate Lake Nona area or from another Lake Nona neighborhood. This is evidence of how much our residents like what we do as a developer and Lake Nona’s ability to build a long-term community where families establish roots and values continue to rise. As a long-term holder and community operator, Tavistock is a unique company that takes pride in its residential developments and remains engaged long after all the homes are sold. “Viewed from the ground, the scale and ambition of Lake Nona is impressive.

Healthy Living The vision for Lake Nona is to create the ideal place to inspire human potential. To that end, Lake Nona is designed with positive health intentions contemplated into every aspect of the master plan. Built with the underlying philosophy that the most important health decisions are not made in a doctor’s office; rather, there are the dozens of decisions individuals make daily while at work, at home, in a restaurant or in retail environments that are the most impactful drivers of quality of life. Lake Nona has a prevalent culture of health and wellness, thanks to an intentionally planned ecosystem that promotes activity, sustainability, social connection and learning. This includes community design to promote physical activity, community programming that enables wellness and interaction among community members, and measuring our progress to build on and enhance the community as we look to the future. We have also fast-tracked success through innovative collaboration. The Lake Nona Life Project is a long-term community health and wellness study that examines the associations between lifestyles and health among Lake Nona residents and workers. With founding sponsorship by Johnson & Johnson’s Health and Wellness Solutions, the project is modeled after the famous Framingham Heart Study (1948), which is widely considered the most important community health study of the 20th Century. Our goal is for the Lake Nona Life Project to have that same importance in the 21st Century. In less than 18 months, more than 70% of eligible adults in the study zone have voluntarily signed up to participate. Through our partnership, Technogym, the world’s leading wellness and fitness company, will help Lake Nona create a seamlessly connected fitness community. Movement, exercise, sleep and biometrics will be monitored throughout the course of an individual’s life, from kindergarten to university and further into a work and home environment, inside and outside fitness centers. This connected ecosystem based on Technogym’s mywellness platform will create the world’s largest data bank to evaluate the impact of how a fitness lifestyle can prevent or reduce preventable illnesses, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Homebuilding Homebuilders will provide a 10% discount to Amazonians on options selected for any home built on Tavistock’s land holdings. Labor Force Logistics Community/Quality of Life/ Cultural Fit Sustainability  Region is teeming with talented, skilled professionals, largely due to the many quality educational and vocational facilities located here—including University of Florida, Valencia College, and the University of Central Florida, now the second largest university in the nation  The geographic location of the site creates opportunities that are unattainable for many communities. Proximity to Orlando International Airport, Seaport Canaveral, Cape Canaveral Spaceport (home to Blue Origin), Lake Nona, University of Central Florida and the new Orlando International Airport Intermodal Transportation Center, create a logistics environment unachievable in almost any other location.  Sunbridge will incorporate best practices and place-making principles from across Tavistock’s award-winning portfolio, highlighted by the Lake Nona community, while leveraging and embracing the natural beauty and assets of the site and Sunbridge as a whole. Sunbridge has access to three interconnected natural lakes. The first phase will include a mixed-use marina village.  Sunbridge holds environmental preservation and conservation as one of the primary goals for the development. This goal includes wetland preservation and enhancement; the conservation of fresh water through reuse and demand reduction; management of habitat for wildlife diversity; and protection of native species. Water conservation will also be a primary focus of the development. This will be accomplished through the use of Florida-friendly xeric and waterwise landscape materials to reduce the overall irrigation demands. Also, the community will utilize reclaimed water from the proposed waste water treatment place as the primary source of irrigation water. One Water Water conservation is a primary focus in our 29,000 acre Sunbridge development. Sunbridge employs a One Water system that conserves fresh water by bridging the gaps between storm water management, groundwater availability, potable water demand, and irrigation water use with the ultimate goal of a “water neutral” community. In addition, OUC has committed to build a chilled water plant to serve Amazon HQ2.0.

Originally dubbed the “Osceola Tech Farm,” NeoCity is inspired by the innovations and technologies emerging from within and it signals the next horizon of the New Osceola. Once a field for livestock and farming, NeoCity is now a place where new ideas are springing up from the minds of the scientists, researchers and experts cultivating tomorrow’s emerging technologies. The 500-acre research park, located near downtown Kissimmee in Osceola County, is in a highly connected, infrastructure-rich environment surrounded by an ecofriendly atmosphere of parks, trails and water features. The vision for NeoCity is inspired by an ethos of collaboration and designed to transform the way we ideate, create and innovate. It’s where burgeoning concepts will grow into mature technologies, from smart sensors and photonics to software applications and process improvements in science and optimized operations. NeoCity is being developed as an innovation epicenter sourced by a high-quality workforce set within a mixed-use research and technology destination of regional, national and global impact. NeoCity is also the home of BRIDG – the world’s first industry-led non-profit consortium for advanced manufacturing technologies that serves the research, development and commercialization for smart sensors, imagers, advanced devices and 2.5D/3D chip integration. 2 3 NeoCity is made for Amazon HQ2.O Amazon’s HQ2.O is a transformational project, exactly the type of project NeoCity was envisioned to accommodate within its ecosystem of exploration and growth. As Amazon grows, NeoCity is dedicated to growing alongside Amazon with the full support of government and community partners. With NeoCity in its early phases of development, the technology district can easily transform into Amazon’s new HighTech Campus of the future. With more than the requested 100 buildable acres accessible to Amazon, in addition to a state-of-the-art microelectronics facility (BRIDG), the potential of collaborative innovation is abundant. Being located within 20 minutes of the Orlando International Airport and less than a mile from the Florida Turnpike, with the Space Coast less than an hour away, NeoCity provides vital transportation infrastructure connectivity to the site from across the state and entire globe and even outer space. There are three major areas where Amazon and NeoCity overlap in their core values: Partnerships A dominant focus for NeoCity is to foster an environment of collaboration between private companies, non-profit consortia, public entities and academic institutions. Collaboration is more than a credo. It is NeoCity’s infrastructure. Quality of Life Amazon’s dedication to its people will be exemplified by the environment that NeoCity is focused on creating through its integrated walkable urban framework that actively engages with the natural context, the community and the explosive potential of future technology. Sustainability Amazon is committed to sustainability efforts and so is NeoCity. Sustainability and resiliency are common threads throughout the project’s major design principles and vision. NeoCity advances beyond traditional research parks by creating a progressive place that connects people with the community and surrounding natural landscape through a walkable, future-proofed urban framework. 4 5 Green field. Blue sky. Fluorescent future. The area’s thriving and diverse community of 325,000 is expected to more than double to over 600,000 in population by 2040, making it the 18th fastest growing county in the nation, according to the U.S. Census. Osceola County is located just 20 minutes south of downtown Orlando. It has a unique character of its own with communities like Kissimmee and St. Cloud as well as a variety of unincorporated areas, including Celebration, Poinciana and Harmony. In addition, it is located at the center of one of the nation’s greatest under-tapped technical and business talent pools. The combination of these factors makes Osceola County a great place for both Amazon and its people to call home. The Osceola County government has proven itself to be a visionary leadership team and is prepared to accommodate the expanding population, using smart-growth strategies for its 100,000 acres of developable land inside the county’s urban growth boundary. Osceola County is Florida’s most invested-in county from a private capital funds perspective, as noted by the finance technology company, SmartAsset. These investments show Osceola County’s continued dedication to fostering culture and quality of life even as the area continues to grow. The county is extremely open and flexible when it comes to the future build-out of NeoCity and is willing to provide more than 100 acres of pad-ready, fully entitled and buildable land within the project for Amazon to establish its own unique, smart-city integrated, high-tech campus. In addition, Amazon will have the ability to greatly influence the character of the remaining greenfield to meet its future space needs. 6 325,000 Total number of diverse residents today (U.S. Census) 600,000 Projected population by 2040 (U.S. Census) No.18 Fastest growing county in the nation (U.S. Census) 100,000 Acres of developable land inside the urban growth boundary 7 482.5 Total acres 15 Acres of open space 10 Acre urban farm 166 Acres of water 2.9 Miles of trails 11,000,000 SITE HQ2.O Site Strategy The county has recently concluded a comprehensive visioning and master planning exercise for the NeoCity site. The priority is to shift away from traditional research park development patterns and create a mold-breaking 21st Century model for development that will come to fruition over the next 50 years. Osceola County has set design guidelines to ensure smart growth in and around the property with a focus on accommodating a wide variety of building types and uses within a flexible urban grid connected by a framework of public spaces, views and trails. The sense of place and quality of life crafted within NeoCity will differentiate the next generation of research, innovation and corporate campuses. NeoCity is in its infancy as a development and is not a prefixed setting. This is a great opportunity for Amazon to be able to influence the future of its surroundings and for HQ2 to be a part of the project’s long-term vision and growth. NeoCity has room for all of Amazon’s building phases. The east side of NeoCity has launched and is in full operations mode with all utilities and connectivity provided, which would easily accommodate Amazon’s phase one building and meet the 2019 project timeline. The infrastructure has been specifically designed to align with the projected full buildout of the Master Plan, including special accommodations for the needs of high-demand research buildings. This sort of detailed thinking about the future has been done for all phases of the Master Plan.

This trail system within NeoCity will serve as an important connector between the existing trail along Neptune Road and the proposed trails along Hwy 192. A SPECTRUM OF USES Uses ranging from publicly active to private and secure. These uses could include high-tech research facilities with multi-million dollar tools to busy cafés overlooking the water. A core area of the site is identified for highly public and active spaces with a gradual gradient transitioning to more secure and sensitive uses. WATER AS AMENITY At the headwaters of the Everglades, NeoCity is in a strategically important location to be able to combine regional water collection with sustainable environmental strategies. This opportunity is realized in the creation of a large body of water on the site which can provide space for recreation, create learning opportunities and support native wildlife and wetland animals. 14 NODES OF CONNECTIVITY Collaboration, integration and the formation of accidental interaction are becoming well-recognized as key components in creating a vibrant culture within innovation and technology focused developments. NeoCity’s design involves careful positioning of uses, choreography of streets and open spaces to nurture community connectivity. Development Principles 15 1 2 1 The Center for Neovation The first piece of the NeoCity vision is a new state-of-the-art R&D microelectronics facility that houses BRIDG, an industryled, non-profit collaborative partnership focused on the manufacturing processes, materials and equipment for next-generation sensors and future innovative products. The building opened in March of 2017. Designed as a flexible and adaptable fabrication facility, BRIDG is based in a 109,000 square-foot building that is 54’ tall and has two cleanrooms; one operating at Class 100 and the other at Class 10,000. It offers the infrastructure (talent, equipment, background/foreground IP, etc.) needed to test ideas and concepts and serves as a bridge to product commercialization–thus “Bridging the Innovation Development Gap” that makes transformation possible. 2 Tech office Currently under construction, a 100,000-square-foot office building adjacent to The Center for Neovation will house some of the administrative functions for imec and BRIDG as well as support services for startup companies. 3 STEM Magnet High School The third building on the site will be a STEM-focused magnet high school that the Osceola County School District has recently committed $15 million to build and is currently going through final approval. The school site will be on five acres just across the street from the BRIDG facility and is intended to allow students to work directly with the professionals at BRIDG. BRIDG sits at the southeast portion of NeoCity and is designed to be open and flexible in order to keep up with the ever-evolving pace of technology. Amazon will have the option of using BRIDG as a timeline accelerator, whether that is through full control of the microelectronics facility or via exclusive priority access (subject to space consumption needs and timing of HQ2 decision). This facility will be a huge asset to Amazon in helping leapfrog its innovative products and services by cutting time to market without spending resources building its own facility. NeoCity provides Amazon the rare opportunity to have the best of both worlds, with this already established facility on-site combined with a blank slate to tailor HQ2 to a specific vision. 3 16 17 TECHNOLOGY Tech Testing Grounds A technology testing ground. The NeoCity Master Plan thinks ahead to the incorporation of sensor and connected mobile communication and intends to provide a real world testing ground for these technologies. The integration of smart sensors, mobile devices and real-time data is shaping the way that we interact with and adapt to the world around us. This is not business as usual. Integration of technology into the physical landscape untethers us from the desk, allowing us to draw inspiration from the world around us. This concept could mix well with many of Amazon’s new technologies. For example, there is potential to have an Amazon drone testing field or experimenting with the integration of the Amazon Echo into homes within the new residential developments coming online. Interpret and understand our environment in new ways, such as preemptively changing routes to avoid congestion or discovering places via our mobile mapping and GPS tools instead of physical signage. Use places and spaces in ways previously not conceived of, such as the ability to get out and work from the park (or kayak) for a couple hours. 18 Place focus on creating a personal experience and sense of place rather than simply accommodating functional requirements. Maximize enjoyment and minimize wasted time, such as precisely timing walks to the transit stop based off of buses enabled with GPS tracking that communicate its proximity to a person’s own mobile device. 19 DOWNTOWN ORLANDO 0:02 Florida Turnpike 0:02 TRANSPORTATION 0:20 Greenlighting the Future Minutes to Downtown Orlando 0:18 Minutes to Orlando International Airport Valencia College Kissimmee Campus 0:03 SunRail / Commuter Rail to Downtown Kissimmee station 0:07 UCF Incubator 0:25 UCF Main Campus 0:55 Port Canaveral / Space Coast 20 LAKE NONA 0:15 Minutes to Lake Nona The aspirations of NeoCity are supported by a physical location that provides convenient access to an international airport, strong connections to the regional highway network, national, state and regional rail, multi-modal connections to emerging urban centers and neighborhoods and local mobility services. Coordinated Urban Planning To the best of our knowledge, Osceola County is the only jurisdiction in the country that has master planned 50,000 acres into its Comprehensive Plan, including the 15,000 acres of SunBridge and another 35,000 acres directly south of NeoCity. These areas are designed as dense, walkable mixed use districts projected to absorb 350,000 people and 9 million square feet of office/industrial development over the next several decades. All forms of transportation including mass transit and pedestrian and bicycle trails are required to be accommodated. Roadways and Highways NeoCity is located between Hwy 192 and Neptune Road and less than a mile from the Florida Turnpike, which provides connections to the regional highway network and easy access to the region’s most important destinations. There has been $1.5 million in funding dedicated to upgrades to Neptune Road, including road widening, inclusion of fiber-optic lines and infrastructure to accommodate a pilot program for autonomous buses (described in more detail in the next section). With FDOT as a funding partner, four miles of U.S. Highway 192 will be re-landscaped to provide an inviting gateway into NeoCity from Florida’s Turnpike. All of the trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials are “Florida friendly” species in that they are low-maintenance and adapted to Florida’s climate, which makes them environmentally sustainable and protects the area’s water resources. In order to meet the demands of projected population growth, increased cargo movement, continuing expansion of the tourism activity and anticipated job growth, Osceola County has contracted with the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) to complete a 2040 Master Plan. This document identifies the need for a limited-access, high-speed facility providing roadway connections from Highway 417 through the Florida Turnpike leading to Poinciana all the way to I-4 and Hwy 429. CFX is nearing the completion of its financial feasibility evaluation, and if found financially feasible these segments of highway will be included in the five-year capital plan for construction. This proposed facility will enhance mobility for the area’s growing population and economy by relieving congestion on local roads, providing for the incorporation of transit options and promoting regional connectivity. 21 Autonomous Rapid Transit Osceola County is in the process of implementing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) for a 17-mile circulation route along Highway 192, which serves the development at NeoCity. In conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the county’s Transportation Department has upped the ante on bus transit and has developed a pilot project for regional Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART). Assets such as BRIDG, UCF, University of South Florida (USF) and Florida Polytechnic University, will make a huge difference in the implementation of this system. Imec, a company that chose NeoCity for its U.S. headquarters location last year, has also offered to help in the design of this system, as one of its U.S. platforms is LiDar development for autonomous vehicles. The ART pilot is scheduled to be in place by 2021 connecting Hwy 192 from SR 535 to World Drive and will be expanded east into NeoCity. $7 million in funding has been provided for the ART pilot, split 50/50 between Osceola County and FDOT. MetroPlan Orlando, the regional transportation partnership, has also selected this project to receive offset operating dollars during the first five years of operation. SunRail SunRail Phase 2 will be operating in Kissimmee by the summer of 2018 and will provide direct access to downtown Orlando, the airport and other destinations via a means likely to be more convenient even than personal vehicles. The Kissimmee Station – the only SunRail, Lynx, Amtrak and Greyhound multi modal center on the line – is located within two miles of NeoCity. The City of Kissimmee has been working on a circulator and has plans to run a circulator from downtown to NeoCity. NeoCity can also provide private transit, such as shuttles, between the SunRail station and NeoCity. As part of the original NeoCity concept, the county and City are implementing a bike share program with stations at the Kissimmee SunRail Station and at NeoCity, which are connected via bicycle infrastructure along Neptune Road. There are only two SunRail stops throughout the system that are located within downtowns and the Kissimmee station is one. This provides the Kissimmee station with a unique urban character and a myriad of amenities right at the stop. Additional transportation considerations can be customized to meet Amazon’s HQ2 workforce requirements at NeoCity. 22 Private Transit Networks Due to NeoCity being a stand-alone and undeveloped campus, it is a blank slate for the implementation of private transit networks. These networks can support movement throughout the project and even provide links to specific destinations outside of the site, such as downtown Kissimmee and the SunRail station, or to specific locations with concentrations of Amazon employee housing. The only limit to the possibilities here are our imaginations. Autonomous Vehicles Just as the county and FDOT have shown their commitment to Autonomous Rapid Transit with their pilot ART project, so is NeoCity committed to providing infrastructure within the site to integrate the growing reality of personal autonomous vehicles. This may be in the form of garages that cater to the needs of autonomous vehicles or a site-wide car share program specifically for autonomous vehicles. The purpose of NeoCity is to act as a living laboratory for progressive technologies. Trails The county is currently conducting feasibility and preliminary engineering for a $33 million trail system in the county, funded by tourism development tax dollars. NeoCity is at the center of this planned trail system. There is an existing multi-use trail that runs along Neptune Road adjacent to the site’s southern boundary, which leads straight into the heart of downtown Kissimmee. There is also a multi-use trail planned to follow Hwy 192, along NeoCity’s northern property line. 23 An innovation ecosystem is composed of dynamic partnerships and relationships between industry and business leaders, universities and research institutions, incubators and accelerators and their advocates, champions and supporters. Being intentional about integrating these players into the planning of NeoCity is critical for its success. TALENT Innovation Grows Here NeoCity is surrounded by an abundant talent pipeline. Regional educational facilities are often recognized in top rankings. Most recently, the University of Central Florida (UCF) – with enrollment at more than 65,000 students – was ranked alongside Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Duke as one of the most innovative universities in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges 2018 Guide. Valencia College Center for Accelerated Training (CAT) Valencia College, a multi-campus college named the best community college in the nation as the inaugural winner of the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence, has a total enrollment of more than 74,000 and a campus location just across Highway 192 from NeoCity. From this location, Valencia provides education and workforce training and is expanding its facilities with the addition of a new $3 million, 14,700-square-foot Center for Accelerated Training (CAT), which will include administrative area, classrooms, a computer lab and a workforce training lab. This campus also acts as a UCF regional campus location. Valencia College has also opened an advanced manufacturing center down the street from NeoCity. STEM High School Osceola County recently announced a new $15 million, 45,000-squarefoot NeoCity high school focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The school will have a very rigorous curriculum featuring programs in advanced manufacturing, biomedical and cybersecurity. Partnerships with the University of Central Florida and BRIDG will provide high school students with unprecedented learning opportunities and will serve as a model for STEM education across the nation. The NeoCity high school will open in August 2018 with approximately 100-125 incoming freshmen each year. 24 Valencia College Advanced Manufacturing Training Center Located in Kissimmee, Florida, Valencia College’s 17,000-square-foot Advanced Manufacturing Training Center is a facility owned by Osceola County and leased by Valencia College in partnership with the County. The center is designed to provide students with a real-world, handson manufacturing experience. It features classrooms with the latest in software simulation, as well as practical training labs with industry-standard equipment to immerse students in their chosen specialization. With curriculum developed in collaboration with Central Florida manufacturers, the Advanced Manufacturing Training Center delivers state-of-the-art training for in-demand manufacturing careers. Valencia’s “M-Path” initiative lays out a path for students to obtain nationally recognized industry certifications, college credit certificates and a Manufacturing Engineering Technology degree in key areas of need in the state’s manufacturing sector. NeoCity has the potential both to attract big players and to support the entire ecosystem down to start-up entrepreneurs. NeoCity is specifically designed to accommodate and foster interaction between large established companies and fast, mobile companies that want to be a part of a disruptive idea cluster and require access to a network of contacts and resources to support growth. The BRIDG facility is a huge catalyst on this front and is in talks with more than 100 companies regarding potential partnerships that will help to accelerate technology commercialization by bridging the gap between ideas and industry in smart sensors innovation. In addition, creative programs provide direct interaction between students attending the county’s planned STEM High School and BRIDG professional staff. NeoCity-based companies will be strongly encouraged to support this school through hands-on, experience-based activities. This ability to create connections for everyone from high school students to universities to disruptive start-ups to industry leaders is the true lifeblood of NeoCity and is how NeoCity is poised to transform the employment ecosystem of Osceola County and beyond. This is NeoCity’s competitive advantage and will be Amazon’s as well. 25 Stormwater Strategies (LID) SUSTAINABILITY Thrivability NeoCity is a new major urban district, it is not a short-term project. In as much, it requires all of the considerations that come into play with managing a dense urban area intended to last for generations. Within its life cycle, the development is anticipated to be able to accommodate shifts in industries and uses, social changes, environmental threats and the like. On a county-wide scale, for the past year Osceola County has been developing Smart County policies, of which technology in transportation is a big part. Imec, which is based in Belgium, arranged for a county delegation to visit Antwerp, Belgium to evaluate what they are doing from the Smart City perspective and has been assisting the county with creating its new standards. In September, the county adopted a Sustainability Plan, connecting fiscal and environmental requirements to its budgets and codes, and is currently working on a Climate Element to be adopted into the county’s Comprehensive Plan. Innovative stormwater strategies Sustainability features Resiliency is a major thread throughout NeoCity’s design principles and vision. The following considerations for resource efficiency were identified, discussed and accounted for within the NeoCity Master Plan: • • • • • • 26 Native and/or xeric landscape Low intensity landscape maintenance – requiring fewer inputs Condensate capture and reuse from research buildings On-site power generation (solar and wind) Solar orientation, building layout and materials to minimize solar gain Prevailing wind considerations 27 LIFESTYLE Tech, meet Toho Some places are defined by iconic buildings. And while buildings are great, it’s what exists outside of them that foretells the quality of life awaiting its inhabitants. Lake Tohopekaliga (locals call it Toho) is our picturesque icon. It is the liquid tie that binds life, work and everything in between. Its very name, stemming from the native Seminole tribe, hints at the promise of NeoCity and our bold future: “we will gather together here.” Amazon employees working at NeoCity will have the opportunity to choose their lifestyle: bustling metropolis, small-town main street, family-friendly suburb, or even rural acreage. No matter which of these locations employees choose to call home, all of them will have a quick commute to work and easy access to regional amenities via car, train, or bus. Most of all, they will join and gather here to solve new challenges, challenge the norm and dream big. 28 29 Currently, there are around 143,500 housing units in Osceola County, with many more on the way. Conceptual Master Plan Areas within close proximity to NeoCity include East and South Lake Toho with a combined 16,665 acres and 73,600 future dwelling units. One of the communities currently under construction is Tohoqua, which is about one mile south of NeoCity and is being designed under the tenants of Healthy Urbanism with a focus on creating a community that promotes healthier lifestyle choices. Tohoqua will offer a variety of housing type choices and price ranges, along with schools, wellness and medical facilities, a village market, places to eat and shop and almost 400 acres of parks. Diverse amenities surround the NeoCity site, from bucolic landscapes, to entertainment districts, to sports and event spaces. NeoCity is directly adjacent to Lake Tohopekaliga, the largest lake in Osceola County, which provides the site with a huge opportunity to take advantage of its network of trails and waterfront parks. Most notably, Lakefront Park is near downtown Kissimmee and is about a ten minute bicycle ride from NeoCity. Lakefront Park provides many community amenities from the typical park spaces such as lawns, gardens and picnic areas to larger facilities like a marina, farmer’s market and community center. Across Hwy 192 from the NeoCity site is the Osceola Heritage Park, an 80 acre sports and events facility that provides large event venues in both indoor and outdoor facilities. The 5,300-seat baseball stadium at the Heritage Park is the home to the region’s minor league team, the Fire Frogs. Other events held here include sporting events, festivals, rodeos, concerts, corporate trainings, conventions and the county fair. Within the area are many other parks, conservation areas and outdoor recreational opportunities that help to promote a healthy, active lifestyle. Not to mention that within the NeoCity site itself, there will be almost three miles of hike and bike trails around the new lake which are designed specifically to host sporting events. For example, there is a plan to host an annual 5k run around the lake. Downtown Kissimmee is a ten minute bicycle ride from NeoCity and is a draw for both residents and tourists. This historic downtown area provides a little something for everyone with its mix of family-owned businesses, shops, restaurants and special events. Monthly community events are held in the Toho Plaza. Osceola Arts is a non-profit organization serving as the local arts agency for Osceola County, which produces more than 150 performing and visual arts events each year and promotes the arts as a vital part of the county’s growing and diverse community. The area’s performing arts center, which hosts high caliber concerts and theatre productions, is located just about one mile east of NeoCity. Osceola Arts also partners with local businesses and government agencies to present Art in Public Places. This program currently has artwork on display at libraries, government buildings and hospitals. For additional cultural and entertainment options, it is just a short drive or train ride into the heart of Downtown Orlando with its museums, restaurants, performances and other offerings. 30 31 441 CONNECTIVITY VALENCIA COLLEGE OSCEOLA CAMPUS DENN JOHN LN. 92 MICHIGAN AVE.

More than 40 years before Amazon revolutionized e-commerce, Tupperware Brands transformed the art of the sale by elevating relationship-based selling and introducing an all-new way to deliver products to consumers. Tupperware’s famous home parties weren’t just fun; they also helped create career opportunities for women. Now Tupperware Brands Corporation is a multi-billion-dollar global direct seller of innovative, premium products with an independent sales force located in 100 countries around the world. 2 1 State-of-the-Art Corporate Campus Tupperware built this plastics empire in Osceola County where the company bought more than 1,000 acres for its new global headquarters in 1953. Tupperware opened its sprawling campus, but tabled the idea of further development, until recently. The land is now being developed with the goal of creating a mixed-use environment with amenities and services that provides a state-of-the-art corporate experience. 2 3 SITE Ready for HQ2.O The site offered to Amazon by Tupperware Brands Corporation is adjacent to its Edward Durell Stone-designed headquarters building and beautifully landscaped campus, set within the larger 1,300-acre Tupperware development known as Osceola Corporate Center (OCC). OCC has been under development since the early 2000s, commencing with a nearly two million square foot retail component, followed by nearly 2,000 multifamily residential units and now approaching the hotel and office development phase of the project. The OCC currently consists of: • Orlando Health medical complex (now under construction) • San Matteo Crossings Apartment Complex (a 352-unit market rate apartment complex starting construction in October 2017) • • • • 4 sceola County School for the Arts (a top-ranking performing arts magnet O high school) A 128-unit Hilton hotel expected to begin construction before year-end 2017 across from the Tupperware HQ A second 120+/- unit hotel proposed for development immediately adjacent to the Orlando Health medical complex 1,300 Total acres 2,000,000 Square foot retail component 2,000 Multifamily units Forested wetlands 5 HQ2.O Site Strategy Our proposed site strategy for Amazon HQ2.O consists of: • 120 acres in a contiguous assemblage reaching out in a half-mile radius from the Tupperware SunRail station • Direct access to the SunRail line • Greenfield opportunity that may be in both Osceola and Orange Counties, or exclusively within Osceola County • All utilities are either in place or are under construction to be available by year-end 2017 120 acres SunRail onsite The entire Osceola Corporate Center is located within a half mile of the Tupperware SunRail station, is classified as transportation-oriented development and seeks pedestrian-friendly/bicycle-friendly development with green space and high-density mixed uses to support the rail system. The Osceola County holdings are included within the OCC Planned Development, and the Orange County holdings are included within the Tupperware Heights Planned Development. The initial 500,000 sq. ft. of development would be situated immediately adjacent to the SunRail station, and consists of two possible 16-acre tracts. Tupperware would provide Amazon with input on the development of any additional remaining properties in the Tupperware project, including preferential uses. Entitlements Tupperware’s OCC Planned Development in Osceola County contains a mixture of retail, office, multi-family residential and hotel uses. Currently there are 1,594,320 sq. ft. of office entitlement remaining and 380 hotel rooms. Tupperware is in the process of amending its PD with Osceola County to allow for significant additional amounts of office development. The required amendment is minor, and is expected to be approved by the Osceola County Board of County Commissioners by year-end 2017. The Tupperware Heights Planned Development in Orange County contains a mixture of 966,975 sq. ft. of commercial and 200 multi-family residential units. Tupperware is confident that an increase in density, should it be needed, would be favorably received by Orange County Commissioners to accommodate Amazon’s needs and achievable within a one-year period. Total current entitlements across the site (both Osceola and Orange portions) are: 2.5 million sq. ft. of office space, 200 multifamily units and 380 hotel rooms. Total anticipated entitlements are: eight million+ sq. ft. of office space. Studies: Various phase one environmental, geotechnical, archaeological and environmental tests have been completed on the property with no concerns noted. Copies of these studies can be provided upon request. 6 7 PARK UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA 426 429 OCOEE 423 417 528 17 438 441 528 WINTER GARDEN 4 92 528 50 50 551 50 DOWNTOWN ORLANDO 408 ORLANDO EXECUTIVE AIRPORT 408 435 WINDERMERE 5 436 15 Miles to NeoCity 527 UNIVERSAL ORLANDO® 528 17 10 92 528 4 441 528 528 CONVENTION CENTER Miles to Lake Nona 417 ORLANDO INT'L AIRPORT WALT DISNEY WORLD® 14 Location Miles to Sunbridge 429 535 LAKE NONA 417 ORANGE TUPPERWARE 20 Miles to Downtown Orlando OSCEOLA SUNBRIDGE 192 528 KISSIMMEE 4 8 KISSIMMEE GATEWAY AIRPORT NEOCITY 192 528 528 17 92 528 441 528 9 TRANSPORTATION The Art of Getting Around MARY LOUISE LN.
