Founded in 1985 by Bruce Ratner, Forest City Ratner Companies (FCRC) is one of the most prolific ground-up development

companies in New York City and has played a major role in Brooklyns dramatic renaissance. In its 28 years FCRC has developed 42 office, retail, residential, hotel and sports and entertainment projects, totaling some 16.7 million square feet, in all five boroughs and the Metropolitan area. Under Mr. Ratners leadership and vision, FCRC has committed itself to innovative, place-building projects that open new markets for tenants, provide services for communities, and generate thousands of new jobs. Whether creating a new office market in downtown Brooklyn, identifying an unmet demand for large format retail in the boroughs, or relocating the Nets to unlock the development rights for an entire new neighborhood, FCRCs pioneering developments have played an outsized role in building New York City over the past three decades. In addition to building the skyline, these projects significant citywide and community benefits, include job creation and retention, programs to encourage the hiring of minority, women, and local resident employees, generation of new tax revenues and affordable housing, as well as high quality construction by union labor.

MAJOR PROJECTS Office One Pierrepont Plaza In 1988, FCRC opened One Pierrepont Plaza, the first new office building in Downtown Brooklyn in a quarter of a century. In 1990, Two MetroTech Center was the first building to be completed in what would become a 7 million square-foot, 16-acre office, academic and technology campus, the first of its kind in New York City. MetroTech Center launched the renaissance of Downtown Brooklyn, stemming the tide of major corporations leaving New York City and creating the third largest business district in the City. Today, some 18,000 employees work at the mass transit-accessible MetroTech campus, and the complex continues to spark the creation of neighborhood businesses. MetroTech has evolved as a home not only for the finance industry and other traditional businesses, but as a hub for new technology startups and pioneering collegiate academics. The New York Times Building In 2000, The New York Times Company selected FCRC to be its partner and co-owner in the development of its new headquarters. Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano was selected to design this award-winning tower, linking the brand of the New York Times with one of the most renowned architects in the world. Opening in 2007, the building stands 52 stories and contains over 1.5 million square-feet of office space. NYMEX Building In 1997, FCRC completed the development of the 650,000 square-foot, 16 story new headquarters of the New York Mercantile Exchange.

MetroTech Center

Retail Atlantic Center & Atlantic Terminal

In 1997, FCRC opened Atlantic Center, a nearly 400,000 square-foot retail center, bringing the Downtown Brooklyn area its first large-format retail location, helping to keep consumers and sales tax revenue in New York City. As this type of retail was an untested concept for downtown Brooklyn, 2

attracting investors and tenants to this project proved an uphill battle at first. Bruce Ratner took potential tenants and lenders on the subway in Brooklyn and showed them riders shopping bags from the Manhattan locations of stores akin to those he wanted to attract to Atlantic Center, demonstrating a huge untapped retail market in Brooklyn. In 2004, the adjacent Atlantic Terminal opened, creating a retail hub of over 850,000 square feet in the heart of Brooklyn. Today, the Target store at Atlantic Terminal is regularly the number one retail location in its chain. Ridge Hill Opened in 2011, Westchesters Ridge Hill is a 1.3 million square foot mixed use, regional open air shopping center in Yonkers, New York. The center was designed by H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture and features well-known and exciting new retail, dining and entertainment destinations, including, Lord & Taylor, Cheesecake Factory, Showcase Cinema de Lux, an Apple store, and the regions first LegoLand Discovery Center.

Residential

New York by Gehry

Opened in 2011 and named for its world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, New York by Gehry, located in Lower Manhattan, has transformed the skyline of New York City. Housing 898 apartments in its 76 stories, New York by Gehry is the tallest all-residential building in the Western Hemisphere. The buildings five-story base is also home to the first New York City public school built on private property, The Spruce Street School. The $4.9 billion Atlantic Yards project features the redevelopment of 22 acres in Brooklyn that will include approximately 6 million square feet of residential space. Of the 6,430 units of housing, 2,250 will be affordable to low, moderate and middle income households. In 2012, FCRC began construction on B2, the first residential building at Atlantic Yards, which is being constructed by union labor using the latest technological advances in modular construction. When completed in 2014, the 32-story building will be the tallest building in the world built using modular technologytaking the prefabricated modular approach to a whole new scale. Fifty percent of the buildings 363 apartments will be rented to low income individuals and families.

Atlantic Yards

In 2012, Forest City Ratner Companies launched a new business with its partner Skanska USA to build innovative high-rise modular housing. Together with the Building and Construction Trades Council, a new division of union labor was created to work in the Brooklyn Navy Yard factory. Sports and Entertainment With its grand opening in September 2012, Barclays Center became the first new arena in New York City since 1968. FCRCs state-of the-art sports and entertainment venue comprises 675,000 square feet, with 17,732 seats for basketball games and up to 19,000 for concerts and other major sports and entertainment events. During its first eight months of operation, Barclays Center has entertained more than 1.5 million guests at sporting events such as Brooklyn Nets and college basketball games, championship boxing, concerts featuring JAY Z, Barbra Streisand, and The Rolling Stones, and family shows such as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. By relocating the Nets from New Jersey to Brooklyn, FCRC gave the borough its first major professional sports team since the Dodgers left in 1957. This year the Nets will be become Brooklyns first Playoff team since 1956. More recently, FCRC arranged for the NHLs New York Islanders to move to Barclays Center in 2015 giving Brooklyn its second major professional sports team. With the opening of Barclays Center FCRC created nearly 2,000 new jobs, 80 percent of which are filled by Brooklyn residents, including 30 percent who live in New York City Housing Authority developments. Moreover, 34 percent of those working at Barclays Center reside within the four surrounding Community Boards 2, 3, 6 & 8. Barclays Center is not FCRCs first foray into the realm of entertainment, however. Recognizing a dearth of new movie theaters in New York City, FCRC built the AMC movie theater in 1999 as part of the redevelopment of 42nd Street. This theater is AMCs No. 1 grossing theater in the country. FCRC expanded its entertainment development on 42nd Street with the opening of Madame Tussauds and continued its successful retail development strategy in the boroughs. Hotel In 1999, FCRC opened the 460-room Hilton Times Square, the first newly built hotel in the redevelopment of 42nd Street. The following year, FCRC opened Embassy Suites in Battery Park City, a 466-room hotel.
