Exhibit 99.1

FA EMAIL

Subject: CNL Growth Properties announces valuation results and new offering price

Email Distribution Date: 1/15/2014

FOR BROKER-DEALER USE ONLY.

Dear Financial Advisor:

On Jan. 14 2014, the board of directors of CNL Growth Properties, Inc. (the Company) approved the estimated net asset value (NAV) per share of the Company’s common stock to be $9.90 as of Dec. 31, 2013. The board of directors also established an offering price of $11.00 per share for the purchase of shares in the Company’s second offering. The estimated NAV per share and new offering price per share are effective Jan. 15, 2014.

 

    In determining the estimated NAV per share, the Company engaged CBRE Capital Advisors, Inc. (CBRE Cap), a third-party independent valuation firm, to provide property level and aggregate valuation analyses of the Company and its investments and to provide a range for the estimated NAV. The valuation process used by the Company was designed to follow IPA Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs, which was adopted by the IPA effective May 1, 2013.1 The estimated NAV per share approved by the board of directors falls within the range of values provided by CBRE Cap.

 

    The Company’s board of directors commenced a process in December 2013 to estimate the Company’s estimated NAV per share to, among other things, establish a regular, annual year-end schedule for determination of its NAV and provide existing investors and broker-dealers an indication of the estimated value of the Company’s shares based on its acquisitions to date and current portfolio of multifamily development properties. The Company anticipates it will update and announce its estimated NAV at least annually.

 

    The Company mailed this letter to shareholders and will hold a webinar about the valuation for its shareholders and financial advisors on Jan. 22, 2014, at 3:00 p.m. ET. REGISTER for the webinar.

 

    For your convenience, the Company has created a New Offering Price Operational Summary, which includes additional important information.

For more information, please read CNL Growth Properties’ current report on Form 8-K filed Jan. 15, 2014, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or contact your CNL Securities Corp. representative at 866-650-0650.
