At Forest City, we have a long history of setting, tracking and leveraging trends in the retail business. In today’s world, open-air regional lifestyle and town centers give consumers the opportunity to combine shopping, dining and entertainment.

Town center developments are designed to be the social hub of a community – essentially a “new downtown” featuring a main street setting, curbside parking, authentic public spaces for civic functions, and abundant landscaping and amenities.

Our portfolio of completed and developing projects includes unique, community-oriented properties from coast to coast:

• Victoria Gardens, which serves as a pedestrian-friendly “new downtown” for the city of Rancho Cucamonga, California.
• Short Pump Town Center, Richmond, Virginia, with an elegant “main street” setting, canopied walkways, open courtyards, landscaped gardens, fountains and a community meeting facility. 
• The Shops at Northfield Stapleton in Denver, which functions as a “main street” for our Stapleton urban infill project.
• The Promenade Bolingbrook in Bolingbrook, Illinois, a lifestyle-based marketplace located in one of Chicago’s most accessible suburbs.
• The Shops at Wiregrass and The Village at Gulfstream Park, both open-air regional lifestyle centers in high-growth Florida markets (Tampa and Greater Miami, respectively).
