  2. From Planes to Cranes: The Evolution of Mixed-Use for the Next Generation

  In 1998, Forest City Enterprises was chosen to be the master developer of the former Stapleton Airport in Denver, one of the largest urban redevelopments in the nation. Now home to distinctive shopping areas, Stapleton hosts Northfield, a super-regional lifestyle center anchored by Macy’s, Bass Pro Shops, Harkins Theatres, the “Power Town” opened in 2006 and Quebec Square, a regional power center anchored by Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club and Home Depot opened in 2003. Stapleton integrates the best features of the ideal city life: diverse homes, offices, schools and parks with regional and neighborhood retail centers. The panel will provide valuable insight on this super-regional, mixed-use development.

  Understanding the retailer’s point of view, retailing has experienced dynamic change over the past 50 years as simple, family-owned ventures have developed into multi-store chains with sophisticated systems. This session will seek to understand how retailers approach the challenges and opportunities of today’s open-air center. Representatives of some of the country’s most admired retailers will provide their views on such topics as: co-tenancy and exclusives and why they matter to retailers; the proper role of third party brokers; how site selection really works; attracting the best team members; hot new concepts; and opportunities and strategies for growth.

  4. The Deal Stallers

  This panel of nationally recognized industry experts will explore the various problems frequently encountered by business men and women and their counsel in negotiating deals to fruition. Over the years, it seems deals are often delayed by “tried and true” problems, as well as problems that develop as trends in merchandising and development change. This group of distinguished panelists will discuss and analyze the “deal stallers” from a perspective of avoiding them in the first instance, and resolving them when avoidance cannot be prevented.

  5. Westfield San Francisco Centre: The Renovation of the Emporium and Resurrection of a Historic Urban Landmark

  Join members of the project team representing Forest City Development California, Westfield Corporation, Inc. and Federated Department Stores as they present the transformation of a historic landmark, which includes a flagship Nordstrom, into this unprecedented mixed-use development. Sparked by the vision for a flagship Bloomingdale’s, the team was able to create a 2.2 million square feet urban center as the link between San Francisco’s cultural heart, The Yerba Buena Gardens and Union Square.
  
  They will discuss how the history of the 1896 building and the impact of the 1906 earthquake influenced the project evolution as a public/private partnership incorporating a new Bloomingdale’s, an additional 170 specialty stores, a nine- screen theater and 245,000 square feet of office space.
  
  With development and construction spanning more than ten years, this exciting project will provide a fascinating case study with key lessons learned of the largest vertical retail/mixed-use project to be built west of the Mississippi.

• 1. The Box and the City: Re-Imaging the Urban Department Store - Future Trends

  Shopping is intimately tied to the shifting desires of the market and survival is premised on riding the waves of customer demand and cultural adaptation. Retail in general, and department stores particularly, are always facing obsolescence and the next “new thing” is always just around the corner. Shopping, rather than being a stable urban building block, is best described in terms of cycles, and measured in terms of life spans. Given the large footprint consumed by urban department stores within a city, the impact of those cycles to a downtown can be devastating when they change or die. This session will focus on creative ways that these large spaces are being re-used to strengthen cities’ retail core and rebuild the urban fabric.

  What are the drivers of your desire to launch a mixed-use project: Is it zoning, permits, parking, transit, the market or a combination of all these? Hear developers who are experienced in mixed-use projects address lessons learned from their projects. Panelists will discuss the “back story” of mixed-use, how to select the best tenant/user mix, the synergistic role of retail and partnering strategies. This session is a must if your project includes retail, commercial, residential and other tenants.
