With rural towns and
cities facing challenges such as the opioid epidemic and related crimes, zombie
properties and street safety, the mayor says it's a good time to refocus
on the
panel's work now that the
city budget is complete.
A
panel of experts featuring Kenneth F. Bernstein, president and CEO of Acadia Realty Trust; MaryAnne Gilmartin, president and CEO of Forest
City Ratner Cos.; Steven G. Vittorio, managing director with Prudential Real Estate Investors; and Donald C. Wood, CEO of Federal Realty Investment Trust, discussed the vagaries of developing urban retail — particularly mixed - use
properties — at the ICSC NOI + Asset Management Conference in Chicago
on Nov. 20 - 21.
