Transportation centers and transit oriented developments throughout the world are contributing to the urban fabric of our cities. The center has the opportunity to capitalize on this trend while shaping the neighborhood. The goals and objectives of the retail space and operations are first and foremost to maximize revenue through successful Market Driven retail programs. To activate the facility with destination oriented amenities that make the Transit Center accessible to all the residents of the neighborhood; to provide programming for open spaces at the park and amplitheater and last but not least the culture of service that offers a vibrant, safe, and clean and welcoming environment for residents and commuters.

Project. So the merchandising and programming are very important aspects of the retail component as is the operations of the Transit Center and we hope through this vibrant mix of destination oriented retail that we will create a culture of Service Excellence and a memorable experience for the transbay Transit Center and most importantly to the Transit Center to become a benchmark by which all others are measured. Moving on to the merchandising concepts as fred described at the ground level we envision the outside or the inside of the retail spilling out on to the sidewalk with a combination of restaurants and retail intending to bring the pedestrian level alive. The second floor envisions a food hall similar to mario vatallees restaurant in new york and local food that is ethically diverse and offer flavors and grab and go foods to transits users and residents alike.

Last but not least the schedule that we anticipate and that is necessary in order for the retail component to open coincidentally with the Transit Center is as follows. We open to issue the rfq in coming days which is the primary qualifying round of the process. And we would then issue the rfp to those qualified teams in the First Quarter of 2015 with the anticipation of executing a development excuse me, a master Lease Agreement in the fall of 2015 and then opening the retail in 2017.
