“The New World of Green” Global transformational change in how we conduct business, make products and manage our organizations is undergoing explosive growth. This societal cultural change is fueled by understanding and embracing the principles of sustainability 5 and life-cycle value. The core of value includes efficient use of precious resources, environmental restoration and protecting our health. The results are tremendous: increased profitability for our businesses, personal lives and the planet. The building industry is leading the charge towards sustainability through creation of green buildings. The catalyst of this leadership is the nation’s fastest growing industry coalition, the U.S. Green Building Council, now with 18,000 organizational members, of which David is a founder. USGBC’s LEED® Rating System is now being used by over 3.6 billion square feet, in 20,000 projects, representing more than 10% of the market. David Gottfried will share global insight, stories, experience and inspiration from his personal “greening” journey on these life-changing trends of sustainability and present his vision in the context of “green” as our new world and the essence of value.

Facilitators: JUDSON (JUD) KLINE EDWARD A. SHRIVER, JR, AIA HAROLD THOMPSON Workshop AM #7 This session will discuss the Integrated Agreement for Lean Project Delivery. This Agreement seeks to realign the commercial interests of the parties and achieve a transparent balance of risk and reward. We will describe the main attributes of the Integrated Agreement and discuss how it is operating in practice. Facilitator: Workshop AM #8 Expectations Management, Budget Control, Cost Estimating, Pre-Construction Services – call it what you will, but the goal for any owner or developer is to create the right budget, scope and schedule before land is purchased to ensure that the project’s financial and functional goals are met. As owner and developer, we will review checklists, processes and pitfalls of creating budgets and managing the design process that will withstand the test of time, talent and municipalities. Facilitators: DENNIS L. MULVEY AIA RICK RUTECKI Workshop AM #9 Cities are no longer the enemies of the natural environment; they’re leading the way in preserving and protecting it. In doing so, we are improving public health; saving money; creating jobs; enhancing the quality of life; and leaving a lasting legacy to future generations. Leading by example, the City of Chicago has gained an international reputation as a green city. It has done so through a commitment to enhance the environment while focusing on a variety of economic, land use and workforce development initiatives. Arnold Randall, Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Planning and Development, will speak about the initiatives and programs that Chicago is using to promote both economic development and sustainability. Facilitators: Workshop AM #10 At last year’s conference we looked at the make-up and drivers for the X and Y generation, but a year has passed and the economic conditions in the retail industry have changed significantly.

Raising the bar for integrated retail, residential and commercial projects across the country, Michael McMannus will share the what, why, how and post mortem on Caruso’s latest “must see” home run. Facilitator: Workshop PM #2 Embracing sustainability is more than simply becoming LEED compliant. When done successfully it becomes a part of the culture of the company and becomes a lifestyle. This panel will discuss many of the philosophies, approaches and efforts that many groups, inside and outside of retail, are employing to become truly sustainable. So, rather than taking something away, they are adding back; both to the environment and the bottom line. Facilitators: JIM CORNWELL ERIC DILLINGER JUSTIN DOAK Workshop PM #3 Calgary’s economy is booming as a result of the oil sands development in northern Alberta. $200B in projects are planned or underway, creating significant pressure on the local development community. A local architect, contractor and developer discuss the challenges of managing workloads and delivering product in this boomtown. Facilitators: DAVID MINER BRIAN RODDICK Workshop PM #4 The greatest enemy of green design and construction is standard retail lease language. Triple net leases deter landlords from installing energy efficient and environmentally sustainable materials in the Vanilla Box. Greening the Vanilla Box can offer incentives to the tenant and landlord that, for additional rent, can provide a timely financial payback, save energy costs, promote better health for tenant’s employees, and lead to a more sustainable building for the landlord. This workshop will evaluate what changes need to be made to leases, standard retail space delivery, and construction details for the “Green Box.” Facilitators: BRYCE TURNER Workshop PM #5 It is no secret that significant challenges exist in the retail industries’ ability to bring projects to reality in today’s economy, but how is the industry responding to the economic challenges and what do they see in the future? Join Emerick Corsi, representing an innovative development company that produces diverse products in many markets and David Contis, who works closely with Sam Zell (ICSC 2009 RECon Keynote Speaker) in evaluating investment opportunities throughout the world, as they reflect upon the view from the developers’ window. Facilitators: EMERICK CORSI Workshop PM #6 Davies will take attendees on a tour of the major global trends, challenges and opportunities facing the retail industry at the end of the first decade of the 21st Century. Highly visual, thought provoking and sometimes provocative the dialogue will cover everything from consumer behaviors to societal change and will profile the brands and companies at the cutting edge of innovation in a world of retail change. Facilitator: Workshop PM # 7 There is no shortage of opportunities to hear from Vendors, Architects, Engineers, and Contractors about the benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM). This presentation will use real world experience to move beyond the marketing hype to provide information that all Developers, Design Team Members and Contractors should know about the realities, pitfalls, and ultimate potential of BIM. Facilitators: JIM ROTHWELL Workshop PM #8 This presentation will focus on driving energy efficiency and building corporate value by maximizing rebate and incentive potential. The discussion will include available incentives/rebates, eligible activities, and strategies for negotiating with utility companies and government agencies. Facilitator: Workshop PM #9 This workshop will explore the legal requirements and incentives for building Green. Panelists will focus on both federal and state issues including pending federal legislation, EPA programs and various trends in both state and local requirements. The workshop will present a brief overview of the various programs and incentives and then allow time for audience participation and questions. Facilitators: CHUCK BURKE KENT JEFFREYS BRAD MONDSCHEIN JEFF SCOTT Workshop PM #10 This workshop will provide a brief overview of the DC Minority Business Enterprise Center. The business center, funded by the Dept. of Commerce Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), provides consulting management services to minority business enterprises (MBE’s) throughout the National Capital Region of DC, Maryland and Virginia.

| 9:15 – 11:00 am | Project Case Studies on the Run “Case Studies on the Run” Just when we all thought CenterBuild reached a zenith at our 2007 conference, CenterBuild 2008 will unveil its own radical and lively concept similar to “speed dating” featuring a diverse cross section of this year’s outstanding retail projects. In less than two hours you will have an opportunity to choose and be face-to-face with three individual case studies presented by industry peers. All this and AIA credits to boot. A total of twelve case study encounters will be provided to “speed dating” participants allowing you to maximize your exposure to topics of interest while experiencing the diversity of your CenterBuild family. Listed below are the case studies that will be presented at this year’s conference:
1) Hurricane Reconstruction “On The Run” Facilitator: GREGORY J. KISSEL, AIA Owner and Vice President BHDP Architecture Cincinnati, OH The ability to return to business is critical for retailers when recovering from a major natural disaster. Hurricane Wilma cut a widespread path of destruction shuttering or destroying businesses including Macy’s Fort Lauderdale Galleria store. Vital steps were taken to quickly reopen the store. This program will examine that process of renewal and reconstruction. The four story department store, located above a parking garage, was rebuilt within a 9-month design, demolition, and reconstruction period. All of the work was completed under adversity, including environmental remediation, market conditions, shortages, insurer’s scrutiny, code restrictions, and time constraints. This case study will consider how collaboration between the architect, owner, and contractors, working with jurisdictional authorities, under extreme conditions, came together to successfully reopen the store. This presentation offers unique insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by the reconstruction team, the steps taken, and solutions they developed responding to the devastation. Of Interest to: Owners/Developers, Architects/Designers/Consultants, Contractors/Vendors/Attorneys
2) Metropolitan – The Challenges of Vertical Mixed-Use Facilitator: JAMES T. VIVIANO, AIA, LEED AP Associate Director Cooper Carry Atlanta, GA Metropolitan at Midtown is a shining example of a public/private team commitment to revitalize the existing Midtown District of Charlotte, North Carolina and replace the once abandoned Charlottetown Mall and Cinema with a new urban in-fill, mixed-use development. Uniquely located between historic residential neighborhoods and Uptown Charlotte, Metropolitan densely combines nearly 1 million square feet of quality retail, office and residential space along with structured parking on an approximately 30-acre site. The development organizes and connects eight buildings along a “walkable” street combining both one and two level retail storefronts with outdoor amenities to create a new urban Metropolitan Avenue. Site restrictions and the desire for more density, not only required vertical mixed-use, but also unique design solutions including “stacking” Target above the first of its kind The Home Depot Design Center. Positioned above the street level retail, are eight levels of class A office space and a variety of residential condominiums, ranging from affordable one-bedroom flats to luxurious fourbedroom units. The office space was designed to be sustainable and received LEED Silver certification by the USGBC. Of Interest to: Developers, Architects/Designers/Consultants, Contractors
3) Doing Big Things Within a Small Space: Urban Redevelopment Facilitator: DOUGLAS E. ROMER, PE Vice President and Director of Commercial Development EMH&T Columbus, OH Gateway is the signature project in a partnership involving The Ohio State University and the City of Columbus. The design team faced many challenges. Seven of the most notable challenges will be examined in this presentation. The most important aspect to remember and to takeaway is the idea of teamwork. Standard practice tells you the engineer plays a certain singular role in a project—to facilitate the design. In large urban redevelopment projects, it is critical for the engineer to wear many hats and to serve as an integral fact of the project. Constant collaboration between the engineer, developer, architect and the project tenants is what made this redevelopment successful. The campus neighborhoods known collectively as the University District is now home to 240,000 square feet of retail, restaurants and entertainment along with 90,000 square feet of office space, approximately 190 apartments and parking for 1,200 vehicles. The result was a large success all within a small space (just 7.5 acres of surface area). Of Interest to: Owners/Developers/Architects/Designers/Consultants
4) Rebranding Retail Environments: The Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Facilitator: THOMAS BITTNER, AIA Senior Associate Gensler New York, NY When Boulevard Invest LLC acquired the Moroccan-themed Desert Passage Mall, built in the late 1990’s as part of the Aladdin Hotel and Casino, it was clear the property needed a dramatic transformation. Gensler worked with the client to “de-theme” Desert Passage while creating a space that would appeal to the same demographic of middle-American shoppers visiting Las Vegas for vacation or business. Gensler coordinated their efforts with Planet Hollywood, which purchased the Aladdin Hotel and Casino, so that the entire complex was cohesively redesigned. Gensler developed the new brand identity for the mall, including the logo and related visual vocabulary, as well as designed the comprehensive re-theming effort—the streamlining and modernization of the storefronts, new lighting systems, flooring and ceiling treatments, kiosk and sales cart design, the complete redesign of the entrances and three-story facade, and the new way-finding and directory program—all while the mall stayed open for business. Gensler also led the creative effort to design dramatic multi-media events within the mall that entertain the shoppers and increase tourist interest. Of Interest to: Owners/Developers, Architects/Designers/Consultants, Contractors/Vendors
5) Retailers Go Green Facilitator: FRED MARGULIES Director of Marketing Herschman Architects Cleveland, OH The harmony that exists in nature does not always translate to retail development projects. Balancing tenant criteria, developer requirements and jurisdictional expectations requires extensive coordination. Now throw in the criteria aimed at minimizing the impact on the natural environment…The U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® green building rating system. Stafford Park Phase 1B is a retail project that accepts this challenge head-on. Each tenant within this development is required to achieve LEED-NC certification. This case study highlights the balancing act of three major mid to big-box retail prototypes with the extensive variables of a LEED® project with high design expectations. The presenter will share the architect’s insight to the process of managing these variables in delivering a successful project. The attendee will also learn about the challenges of balancing such exact requirements and hear commentary about improving the process. Of Interest to: Owners/Developers, Retailers, Architects/Designers/ Consultants,Contractors/Vendors
6) The Promenade Bolingbrook: A LEED Certification Case Study Facilitator: SUSAN BERCIK Senior Project Manager ka, Inc. Columbus, OH Located in a suburb southwest of Chicago, The Promenade Bolingbrook is phase II of a multi-phased project. This center is anchored by Macy's and Bass Pro Shops and includes a mix of various retail shops, restaurants, entertainment tenants as well as approximately 40,000 square feet of office space. The Promenade Bolingbrook case study provides concrete examples of the certification process and the roles that each team member must assume in order to ensure success. Identifying and defining LEED opportunities within the planning, design and construction of a project. Working with the project team to prioritize the opportunities early in the process. Understanding the LEED certification process from a developer and architect’s perspective—who needs to be involved? How can the application process be streamlined by collaboration with all members of a project team? Communicating the Green Building strategies and environmental impact process utilized to both tenants’ staff, property staff and visitors to the project through education and signage for the building occupants. Of Interest to: Owners/Developers, Architects/Designers/Consultants, Contractors/Vendors
7) Redevelopment of an Urban Streetscape Into a Successful Mixed-Use Environment Facilitator: KEVIN J. FLYNN, AIA, IES Executive Vice President Kiku Obata & Company St. Louis, MO Urban streetscapes are evolving to become vibrant and successful mixed-use environments. “The Loop,” a St. Louis urban street, has been growing over several years into a thriving retail, entertainment, arts and residential district. “The Loop” was selected by the American Planning Association as one of the 10 Great Streets for 2007. We will examine how you manage a natural evolution of the street over time, how to develop a character and identity for the street that does not look forced, and how the reuse of existing buildings and the construction of new buildings can fit into the urban fabric. This case study will look at how we worked with and involved the constituents (politicians, developers, retailers, community and contractors) to help guide the development process to insure that the character and identity of the street evolved naturally. The presentation will also provide insight into a program we developed called the “Retail Swat Team” which worked with local retailers to successfully incorporate them into the neighborhood as successful retailers and ensure they become part of the community. Of Interest to: Owners/Developers, Architects/Designers/Consultants, Contractors/Vendors, Retailers
8) LEED for Retail: Reaching the Goal Facilitators: JIM CORNWELL Senior Director of Design and Construction Office Depot Delray Beach, FL MICHAEL LEFANDE, AIA, LEED AP Principal Partner SBLM Architects New York, NY This case is about firsts: Office Depot’s first LEED certified store at Anderson Lane in Austin, Texas, is open for business. Office Depot is the first company to achieve approval under USGBC's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Volume Certification Program for New Construction. The presentation will explore in detail the lessons learned as Office Depot pioneered a successful model and assisted the USGBC with adapting the requirements of LEED certification to a retail project and the Volume Certification Program for New Construction. Attendees will explore the model which includes the creation of a multidisciplinary consultant team as well as the resulting innovative methods developed for advancing the educational effort on environmental issues among multiple constituencies. The presenters will also discuss how this experience offers cross functional and multidisciplinary teams the opportunity to maximize consolidated project budgets to comply with increased LEED driven costs. Both SBLM and Office Depot are currently featured in a case study used by the USGBC for their “LEED for Retail” Technical review workshops which are being presented nationally. Of Interest to: Owners/Developers, Architects/Designers/Consultants, Contractors/Vendors, Attorneys
9) So, You Want to Put a Theatre on the Roof? Facilitator: MARK G. CAHILL, AIA Principal spg3 Philadelphia, PA In the third generation of the shopping mall, competitive pressures are creating the need to add compelling tenants, thereby increasing site densities. One solution, which will become more relevant in the future, will be to go vertical with expansions. Colonie Center’s Lifestyle expansion and overbuild is a great “Lessons Learned” example which will help developers and design professionals who are contemplating similar strategies. In order to compete for the dominant position in the marketplace, Colonie Center embarked on a major redevelopment including a renovation and overbuild expansion. The expansion turned a portion of the mall “inside-out,” creating a new front door to the lifestyle center. This included a series of high profile tenants and a dynamic, Regal Theatre incorporated into a thirdstory overbuild! This overbuild scheme reduced the expansion footprint and allowed convenient parking within the “front door’s” proximity, thereby attracting today’s most sought after tenants. Of Interest to: Owners/Developers, Architect/Designers/Consultants, Contractors/Vendors, Attorneys
10) Retail Innovation in Sustainability & Brownfield Site Development Facilitator: EAMES GILMORE Architectural Design Manager Target Corporation Minneapolis, MN Fairlane Green is a Brownfield re-development of Ford Motor Company’s 243-acre site in Allen Park, MI. Originally a clay mining operation for Ford Motor Company it was converted by Ford to an industrial landfill in the mid 1950’s. By 2005, the landfill was closed and, as part of the redevelopment of the site, new retail at 410,000 sf is anchored by a 124,000 sf silver LEED Target Store with many other certified mid and larger retail boxes. Great example of large Brownfield/landfill redevelopment serving as a guide to cities, developers, and corporations nationwide. This project demonstrates innovative sustainable techniques that can be readily applied to many urban, Brownfield or suburban retail and mixed-use developments. The ideas and technologies implemented here demonstrate innovative LEED silver strategies for certification from the USGBC. LEED silver, sustainable site, open area, greenspace, 3.5 miles of trails, Brownfield redevelopment, Graywater reuse, reflective roofs, bioswales, native landscaping, daylit interiors, recycled steel, certified sustainable wood framing, reused construction waste, 40% water use reduction, local materials, low VOC materials, rainwater collection, borrowed daylight, infill development, landscaping and skylights. Of Interest to: Owners/Developers, Architects/Designers/Consultants, Contractors
11) Death Valley Mall vs. Vibrant Main Street: How to Develop the Successful Lifestyle Center Facilitator: DREW ROMANIC Associate Principal The Martin Architectural Group Philadelphia, PA Previously an underperforming cookie cutter mall, the Hunt Valley Towne Centre now presents a quality selection of shops, restaurants, and family entertainment in a new “Main Street” design. The oneand two-story outdoor retail setting is adorned with a landscaped inner courtyard, easy-to-navigate walkways, and ample seating. As this case study will demonstrate, it is all about the plan. An ideal location isn’t a sure-bet for success, especially with regards to retail destinations such as the former Hunt Valley Mall. Lifestyle centers are gaining momentum as a more viable and therefore, profitable development option, especially with the present residential slump. However, success can only be attained with a program that comprehensively addresses site and building design with a focus on materials, methods and systems, and accessibility. The following challenges will be addressed:
Owners/Developers, Architects/Designers/Consultants, Contractors/Vendors
12) GOASIS: The Next-Gen Roadside Stop Facilitator: LEE PETERSON VP Brand and Creative Services WD Partners Dublin, OH TravelCenters of America, known for serving professional drivers, decided to develop a separate brand for business and family travelers, and to become the roadside stop that is planned into the trip. WD Partners created a cheerful, open and modern environment with spotless, family-friendly restrooms, and quality food and beverages. The product assortment is different—including fresh fruit, cut veggies, yogurts, smoothies, family-sized and easily shared healthy snacks, and a road-side Starbucks.
