185 Post
Originally built in 1907, and after having been stripped of its historic fabric in the 1970's, 185 Post Street was fully renovated inside and out, including a seismic upgrade, completely new building systems, and a new, ultra-modern exterior window wall system. The modern glass exterior is semi-opaque allowing the older façade to "shadow" through the façade. The building is designed to both enhance and complement the surrounding Union Squaredistrict's historic look and feel.
The 26,200 square foot property, located at the corner of Post Street and Grant Avenue, was purchased vacant, rehabilitated and the ground floor was subsequently leased to DeBeers Jewellers for their San Francisco flagship retail store. Opening is slated for later this year. With its contemporary ground lobby, the upper floors are designed for individual full floor tenants who are seeking high, Union Square identity and offer the highest standards of quality and security.
Please join us in this special tour led by Alan Chamorro of Grosvenor and architect Koonshing Wong, who will be on hand to answer questions and will discuss the development's impact on the community.

A note from the speaker:
Due to popular demand, we are very excited to present a second showing of last February's YLG Peer to Peer Workshop - "The Crunch". The topic we will be discussing is Pro-forma Analysis and Financial Modeling. This presentation will be an introduction to the topic and will focus on the basics. Our primary audience will be members looking for an introduction into creating pro-forma analysis and underwriting real estate. However, we encourage those members with more experience to also attend the workshop, as there will be a discussion following the presentation, in which your insight and experience will be greatly appreciated. Depending on the level of interest, we will have additional Peer to Peer Workshop(s) to discuss more detailed aspects of this topic, and we are actively looking for volunteers to help develop these future workshops. Please email John M. Simerlein (jsimerlein@bristolgroupinc.com) if you would like to volunteer.

Demystifying Green Certification Systems and Policies
Mayor Gavin Newsom's Green Building Task Force has recommended one of the most progressive green building standards for private sector development for any city in this county. If adopted, all new commercial and residential development will have to abide by increasing LEED® and GreenPoint Rated standards over the next five years, ultimately requiring them to meet LEED® Gold or comparable ratings by 2012.
Please join us for an informative session that will provide insights into green building policy decisions in California's cities: what is mandated and what is driving the policy decisions. Panelists Laura Rodormer, Division Manager for Green Consulting Services at Swinerton Builders; Bill Worthen, Senior Associate with Simon & Associates; and Tenaya Asan, Programs Manager at Build it Green, will provide an overview of San Francisco's proposed green policy initiatives as well as a wealth of knowledge on LEED® and the GreenPoint rating system for residential development. Special attention will be paid to the green certification process itself, particularly what resources are available and how certification is achieved.
Our expert panelists will include:
• Laura Rodormer, Division Manager, Green Consulting Services, Swinerton Builders
• Bill Worthen, Senior Associate, Simon & Associates
• Tenaya Asan, Programs Manager, Build it Green

Jim Arce, one of the founders of BREC, and currently head of investor services at Cushman & Wakefield will be coming to Haas to give a short presentation about his career and offering tips on how to be successful in real estate. Please see the following article for a little about Jim’s background and come prepared with questions: http://www.globest.com/news/1088_1088/sanfrancisco/168068-1.html
This will also serve as a UREC/BREC Mentorship Event. After Jim’s presentation, the undergraduates from UREC will be seeking our insight on how to succeed in the industry and in business in general. Your advice and input is immensely powerful and valuable as they graduate and dive into the real world.
According to Jim Heid, Founder and President of UrbanGreen and our guest this month, 60% - 80% of all residential development is going to be on a greenfield (depending on where you are in the world). Thus, while infill development is the preferred option for sustainable real estate, the reality is the market will continue to dominate in the greenfields. So, if we need a better model for greenfield development to confront this conundrum, where are the opportunities? What role does CO2 play in guiding master planned developments? What can be done now that will make a real difference? Jim will address these questions while discussing how he helps his clients create "new communities that provide a positive contribution to their environment, region, and residents."
Jim has over twenty years experience in the design and development of new community, urban infill, and resort developments. He started UrbanGreen in 2000 to act as development partner and advisor to legacy landowners, institutions, and land development companies that embrace principles of sustainability. Prior to founding UrbanGreen, Jim worked as a land planner and advisor with two of the country's leading firms, Design Workshop (1987-1993) and EDAW (1994-2000). He is co-author of Sustainable Planned Communities, author of Greenfield Development Without Sprawl, and an active member of the U.S. Green Building Council, Congress for New Urbanism, American Society of Landscape Architects, and the Urban Land Institute where he sits on the Land Use, Energy and Climate Change Advisory Panel.
