<br />FORESrClTY <br /> <br />City of Ramsey Town Center Proposal <br /> <br />HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING <br /> <br />Our team has direct experience with Town center development, leasing, design, construction, and <br />property management in similar ventures. This experience will enable our team to immediately begin <br />engaging stakeholders and leveraging our deep relationships with the nation's leading retail, office <br />and residential builders. While we bring this familiarity to the table, we will ensure that we explore <br />and engage the opportunity with a fresh perspective that looks at the wide range of development <br />possibilities for this town center development. Our team will focus on rigorous analysis of constraints, <br />full exploration of alternatives and detailed analysis of each option to reach the "consensus plan" - the <br />one that will ultimately be developed and constructed. Our team will maintain flexibility in a constantly <br />changing economic and political environment. <br /> <br />We will be proactive in anticipating issues, information requests and potential project challenges. We <br />will commit the time, energy and attention of our senior leaders to provide the appropriate focus that <br />reflects the City of Ramsey's vision for this important venture. We are prepared to provide dedicated <br />senior staff to this engagement. However, we are mindful of the current economic environment that <br />all public and private sector entities are facing, and we will endeavor to deliver our services in a cost- <br />effective manner, respecting project budget constraints and The City of Ramsey's timetable. <br /> <br />MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAM <br /> <br />We recognize that while some challenges are known today, there exists the potential for any number of <br />unknown challenges to arise and impact the program. While we will strive to stay several steps ahead <br />at all times, when emerging issues arise, our team has the breadth and depth of expertise to address <br />them. We bring a multi-faceted team that has a wealth of knowledge with expertise in all engineering <br />and permitting tasks; development expertise in all types of retail, and other projects; expertise in <br />public policy, public and private finance and economic analysis. The Forest City and S.A.G team has the <br />multidisciplinary knowledge to respond decisively to all possible issues. <br /> <br />THE DIPLOMACY AND FINESSE REQUIRED <br /> <br />Our team members' individual and collective experiences working across the United States provide us <br />with the ability to navigate the often sensitive relationships that exist among retailers and the various <br />stakeholder groups that exist in the communities. We will use this awareness and finesse in our approach <br />towards developing a project that creates a true win-win outcome for all involved. <br /> <br />THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM <br /> <br />From nationally and internationally acclaimed planners and architects to local civil engineers and <br />attorneys, Forest City has always focused on finding the best and most appropriate consultants to <br />address details that require special attention. We've taken great pride in the success of the consulting <br />teams that will need to be assembled for this very important development endeavor. We may engage <br />additional team members to address specific needs of the project scope. This may include market <br />research, vision/branding, planning and design needs. Forest City's Development, Construction, <br />Leasing, and Management groups are proud to include the highly experienced Strategic Advisory Group <br />organization on our DevelopmentTeam. <br /> <br />[]] <br />
