Forest City in the News
Denver Real Estate Examiner, Neighborhood Profile: Stapleton
If you're moving to Denver and considering the Stapleton area (emphasis added):
Built on the abandoned grounds of Stapleton Airport, Stapleton was conceived as a new-style urban community.
Restaurants, retail shops, sports and recreational facilities, schools and office space make this development almost self-contained. 30% of Stapleton is open space and parks!
The 80-acre Central Park has increased Denver’s park system by 25%. Pocket parks throughout the development nurture the sense of community, welcoming walkers, dog-walkers, and baby carriages. Many homes were built with large front porches, encouraging neighbors to get to know each other.
With a mix of single family homes, lofts, condominiums and townhomes, many different lifestyles are accommodated.
Sustainability is a fundamental principle of the developers, Forest City Enterprises, Inc. Since 2006, all new homes have been Energy Star certified.
There’s so much to explore and experience at Stapleton:
NoLandGrab: "Sustainability is a fundamental principle of developers, Forest City Enterprises?" Tell that to the Ward Barkery Building. [Before and after.]
Yahoo Finance, Forest City Enterprises Inc. (FCE-A)
FCE-A closed yesterday at 7.37, over double the share price from two weeks ago.
The Cleveland Leader, Med Mart - "We need it." Remind Me Why. Please.
The Medical Mart saga in Cleveland continues. This time, Forest City Enterprises only makes a cameo appearance as a point of reference:
Tower City got upscale outlets here when it opened because of Forest City’s ability to ask favors of people they do business with elsewhere. It had no long term meaning.
NoLandGrab: Non-Clevelandites (Clevelanders?) like ourselves have wondered how Forest City Enterprises managed to pull off an upscale mall at Tower City in the first place. Tower City has since receded to a more hum-drum food-court-type mall.
