Developing Complex Projects in the Urban Environment Susan Smartt Senior Vice President Forest City Residential West Forest City Enterprises has developed some of the San Francisco Bay Area's most exciting and complex urban projects. The firm, in partnership with Westfield America, developed one of the largest urban centers west of the Mississippi, Westfield Shopping Centre; a 1.5 million-square-foot mixed-use retail/office project in downtown San Francisco. They have a mixed-use project under construction in Uptown Oakland that will create 665 residential units, 9,000 square feet of retail and 25,000 square feet of park space. In 2007, Forest City signed an agreement with the Presidio Trust to redevelop a former public health service hospital in the Presidio of San Francisco into a 161 apartment community. So how do you develop these complex projects in an urban setting? How do you work with multiple public agencies and communities to create a successful project? What are the key strategies for a successful negotiation in Public/Private partnerships? Please join Susan Smartt, Senior Vice President for Forest City Residential West for a detailed discussion on the challenges and successes of urban infill development. Susan is responsible for development for Forest City in Bay Area and has been with the company since 1999. Prior to working at Forest City she was a partner at Watt Industries, running their Northern California commercial development office that included mixed use, office, industrial, and residential projects.
