designed to invest in public infrastructure and private real estate opportunities as a joint venture partner that
leverages the AECOM Technical and Management Support Services Platform. The AECOM team seeks to play
an important role with potential project partners as our clients pursue alternative-delivery options and look for
partners who can provide capital along with traditional services.
With primary offices located in New York City and Los Angeles, AECOM Capital participates as a joint venture
partner, seeking to maximize returns, and provide best-in-class project execution capabilities on complex
projects through a construction management and services affiliate, Tishman Construction, an AECOM company.
AECOM Capital is led by John T. Livingston, Chief Executive, an experienced developer, builder and investor,
who was formerly President of Tishman Urban Development Corporation, President of Tishman Construction
Corporation and Chief Executive of AECOM Construction Services.

AECOM Capital Global Fund I is structured as a semi-open-ended fund with seed capital of US $150 MM. As of
Q1 2014, AECOM Capital has closed and is under contract for approximately US $2.0 BN of notional real estate
investments with best in class operating partners, equating to 5.0 MM gross square feet of Value-Add and
Opportunistic investments in Tier-1 gateway cities.
Value Proposition
AECOMs global service platform, with presence in more than 150 countries, provides AECOM Capital a built-in
platform for accessing proprietary deals, sourcing opportunities both through existing clients and a vast network
of employee relationships.
AECOM Capital will co-sign completion and repayment guarantees or provide a corporate guarantee as required
while, Tishman Construction, can act as the builder on investments, putting AECOM Capital in a unique position

History
More than 20 years ago, our founder, Richard G. Newman, and a handful of Ashland Inc. employees shared a dream of creating an
industry-leading firm dedicated to making the world a better place. On April 6, 1990, AECOM evolved to become an independent firm
formed by the merger of five Ashland entities. While our official founding was in 1990, some of our predecessor firms had distinguished
histories dating back to the early 1900s.
Since then, more than 40 companies have joined AECOM, and in 2007, we became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE: ACM).
Today, listed on the Fortune 500 as one of Americas largest companies, AECOM's talented employees including architects,
engineers, designers, planners, scientists and management professionals now serve clients in more than 150 countries around the
world.
AECOMs technical expertise and creative excellence come from the rich history of some of the worlds finest engineering,
environmental, construction management as well as planning and design companies. From transportation, energy and water systems to
enhancing environments and creating new buildings and communities, our vision remains constant to make the world a better place.
What sets us apart is our collaborative way of working globally and delivering locally. A trusted partner to our clients, we draw together
teams of engineers, planners, architects, landscape architects, environmental specialists, economists, scientists, consultants, as well as
cost construction, project and program managers dedicated to finding the most innovative and appropriate solutions to create, enhance
and sustain the worlds built, natural and social environments.
We are proud to be recognized in Engineering News-Records 2013 Top 500 Design Firms' rankings, where AECOM is ranked #1
overall. And, for four consecutive years, Newsweek included AECOM on its U.S. Companies Green Rankings list.

Building Engineering
Creating innovative and practical building engineering designs, our experts ensure that every project meets and
exceeds the expectations of clients and building users.
Combining local market knowledge with technical expertise, our multidisciplinary approach to building design is
informed by the client's needs and business case to produce cost-effective, functional, inspiring solutions.
We are known internationally for our creative, sustainable and holistic design approach which, from the outset,
embraces low-carbon and economic operational performance. Our professionals around the world strive to
delivery visionary buildings that maximize naturally occurring energy and minimize waste. From creation to
completion and beyond, we help clients reach the optimum potential of every project.
Collaborating across a wide range of building design skills, and sharing knowledge and a passion for a
sustainable built environment through our international network of offices, Building Engineering at AECOM
creates designs that work for today and tomorrow
as possible. Achieving this requires an integrated approach, working with all members of the design team to
ensure that the electrical systems are strategically integrated into the project.
We have a rich heritage in the design of environmentally responsible, high performance buildings around the
world. With leading experts in all aspects of building physics supported by state-of-the-art building performanceanalysis tools and sophisticated design technology, we bring powerful thinking to any design team worldwide,
whatever the project. Working collaboratively, we will always pursue a sustainable solution exploring the use of
the building's location, orientation, shading and structural form to drive down the need for mechanical
installations. Our sustainable, high-performance, low-energy solutions will be integrated into the very fabric of the
building to create light and airy spaces for living and working. With international offices home to local experts, we
bring leading-edge thinking to projects worldwide in an approach that ensures compliance with local regulations
and standards.

and long-term running costs.
With astute commercial understanding, we respond to the need for today's buildings to be designed to meet as
yet undefined future needs. This includes designing systems with flexibility, and enabling installations to be easily
adapted for different uses as they arise in the years to come. Our whole-life costing analysis of proposed systems
is an invaluable service, empowering client and design teams by providing up-front thinking about operational
costs.
