Regional Planning Program Director
Joint Planning Committee
The Bay Area's regional agencies are starting to back good intentions with real dollars. FOCUS is an incentive-based program designed to help local governments plan for and accept new higher-density, transit-oriented development within existing communities. A joint initiative of the Bay Area's regional agencies, FOCUS designates Priority Development Areas (PDAs) which are eligible for grants to support neighborhood planning and capital investments in infill infrastructure. Ted Droettboom, Regional Planning Program Director, will describe the FOCUS program, review the priority areas, and lead a discussion of its implications for the development industry.

The Green Developer Speaker Series is a monthly lecture series in which experienced professionals discuss the nitty-gritty of taking green building from concept to reality. The series is hosted by Presidio School of Management and Haas School of Business
This year’s Reinventing Retail conference focuses on how the world’s most innovative developers are expanding their focus beyond the traditional shopping center to include niche markets such as low-income communities, deteriorated shopping strips, and downtowns (with a lot of emphasis being placed on mixed-use). To achieve success in all of these areas, new strategies will be needed to compete on price, or provide heightened shopping experiences to compete on lifestyle—or both! This unfolding scenario poses great challenges—but also offers great opportunities for traditional shopping centers and their communities as developers continue to energize their aging stock of traditional shopping centers and create exciting new mixed-use environments for shopping.
Who Should Attend
Shopping center and mixed-use developers; retail entertainment, and cinema executives; mayors, urban redevelopment and economic development specialists; architects and urban planners; shopping center owners and managers; real estate consultants and property advisers; and cultural facility directors

Vice President, Affordable Housing Development
AF Evans Company
Parkview Terraces
Please join us for a tour of the new Parkview Terraces, a senior housing facility developed by AF Evans Company, Inc. and Chinatown Community Development Center located on the corner of Turk and Gough in Hayes Valley. The site was acquired from the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency through an RFP process in 2004 and was formerly known as Parcel A, a site left over from the Central Freeway. The 101-unit mixed use building cost $32 million to develop ($316K per unit) and was financed utilizing 9% tax credits, the Affordable Housing Program from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. The building is also receiving a rent subsidy from the Shelter+Care program and additional operating monies from the Department of Public Health to cover additional services that will allow the building to house 20 chronically homeless seniors.
Participants will enjoy a tour of the facility's residential units and enhanced senior service space including the RSVP offices, a neighborhood service center operated by the Institute on Aging, a clinic for the Department of Public Health and a health and fitness center oriented to the needs of those 55 and older. Developer Craig Adelman will be on hand to answer questions and discuss the development's impact on the evolution of San Francisco's Market and Octavia Plan and the Western Addition A-2 Redevelopment Area.

Executive Director
Morgan Stanley
Over the past few years, capital from around the globe has been flowing into real estate, particularly in the US, at record levels. With the recent volatility in the real estate capital markets broadly, how might those capital flows change? How do international and emerging market real estate opportunities currently compare to US? How do you think about raising capital in this environment? Laurence Pelosi, an Executive Director at Morgan Stanley Real Estate, will join us to discuss these topics.
Mr. Pelosi currently focuses on Morgan Stanley's residential investments, including master planned communities, large scale urban development and multifamily acquisition and development, primarily in the Western United States. Laurence is also involved in the firm's public/private real estate partnerships with governmental agencies. Prior to joining Morgan Stanley, Mr. Pelosi served as Director of Acquisitions at Lennar in the San Francisco Bay Area where he focused on the company's urban projects, from the redevelopment of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and Treasure Island to traditional infill developments.

Snyder has been in the forecasting business for more than 30 years, during which he has built an impressive track record with a private and public sector clientele, while compiling a multi-million item database of trends and projections. Snyder uses this database to create detailed scenarios — "instant pre-plays" — of the most probable combinations of economic, technologic and social realities that specific industries, institutions, or individual communities or nations are likely to encounter during the next 5 to 15 years. Drawing on his nearly 20 years experience as lifestyles editor of The Futurist magazine, David enriches his statistical projections and expert forecasts with insights and anecdotes of the human comedy, creativity — and distress — arising from society's adaptation to changing economic circumstances and new technology. Special thanks to our event sponsors: McCarthy Cook & Company and Hanson Bridgett Marcus Vlahos & Rudy LLP. The boat will remain docked for this event. There is limited onsite parking.
