RE: PROPOSAL TO LEASE / THE JEWEL @ RIVERS' END, SEAL BEACH
Dear Ms. Ingram:
Pursuant to our recent discussions, The Jewel @ River's End, LLC and/or entity or DBA
to follow (Tenant), has exclusively retained DAVCO Realty Advisors ( "DRA") as their
representative to evaluate and negotiate a lease at the above referenced building.
Tenant is an entity created specifically for this unique, local oceanfront venue on the
Strategic Gold Coast area of Downtown Seal Beach. Tenant is a partnership and
consortium of unique diversified individuals with an array of extensive experience and
local restaurant concepts. Our concept is best understood to be sensitive to both this unique
location, as well as the City unique needs. The partnership is made up of current and past
Seal Beach residence including Brian Kyle, David Coe, and other Seal Beach locals
including holding esteemed offices such as Seal Beach Grand Marshal, and serving on
several Seal Beach commissions and community committees. With these strategic partners
covering collectively 5 decades of relationship, reputation, quality servicing this
community, our team is confident of its success with the goal of operating a quality
restaurant venue for the City on the Gold Coast. Details on this specific business model
will be confidential until the point of achieving an exclusive but brief, negotiating period
with the City of Seal Beach. At this point, Tenant will make clear their concept with the
City's involvement, will cooperate in a quasi - partnership incorporating the needs and goals
of the City.
Our intent is to achieve an exclusive negotiating period with the City, so both the
community and City can cooperatively prioritize the optimal goals and objectives, both
physical and conceptual, for this location. From there, the two parties can quickly
memorialize the business model and financial package. Recognizing that municipal and
State Land forces are at hand, we feel strongly that a fluid team effort between Tenant and
the City in a quasi - partnership relationship, will ultimately best serve the proud City of
DavCo Realty Advisors
