How To Capatilize On Public - Private Partnerships in the Bay Area
Posted by Jessie Woodyard on Fri, Apr 30, 2010 @ 03:42 PM
Some of the best real estate developments in the Bay Area have been a direct result of successful partnerships between Developers and Public Agencies. A Public/ Private partnership can be ideal but as with any partnership, has its challenges.
For as many cities who are updating their General Plans, undergoing major redevelopments and especially those prioritizing transit oriented developments, it's going to be the cooperation between private entities and public agencies to accomplish truly successful projects.
An upcoming event sponsored by the Urban Land Institute will address the "ins" and "outs" of these partnerships. Speakers include:
- Bijal Patet, VTA Deputy Director and Property development &Management;
- Jeff Ordway, BART Real Estate Development, Head of Transit Oriented Development;
- Brian Fitzpatrick, SamTrans, Real Estate &Property Development Manager.
Moderated by: Jeff White, Avalon Bay
What's also neat about the event is that it's being held at Legacy Partner's America Center which, if you haven't seen, is quite the spectacular San Jose Class A office building. It's one of those beautiful office buildings that can't be missed driving down Hwy 101 just South of Moffett Field. Good opportunity to see inside.
Free beer/ wine and appetizers will be served.
