First Development Corporation ("FDC") has been in business since 1978 and is primarily a developer of specialty and convenience shopping centers in the Chicagoland area. FDC develops properties primarily for the personal portfolios of its principals and is compensated on a fee basis. FDC has developed a number of new strip shopping centers anchored by White Hen Pantry, the premier Chicago area convenience grocery store that is one of the largest convenience store chains in Chicagoland. FDC has also re-developed in-city street-front retail strips. We also act as a land assembler and re-developer. By example, we purchase key parcels, then assemble adjacent properties to create larger development opportunities, and assist with whatever municipal approvals and/or re-zoning is required for the parcels. Recent efforts resulted in development of new freestanding Target and Walgreens stores in the Chicago suburbs of Villa Park and Hillside. Our company is also in the process of subdividing and completing site improvements for a four-acre commercial parcel fronting on a new exit ramp for the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) in the Chicago suburb of Alsip, Illinois. One of the parcels will be developed with a new motel facility and another with a full service sitdown restaurant that FDC will be developing on a build-to-suit basis. FDC is also embarking upon its first residential development. Semi-custom single family homes are planned for a parcel which FDC has had in inventory and which is now ripe for such development. FDC has also purchased and successfully cleaned-up several former gas station sites, which have been developed into convenience retail centers.
