Approach to partnering
 Our Capabilities
At Forest City | Boston, we believe each of our business relationships to be a form of partnership, where close collaboration and a respect for each other's point of view can bring greater value for both partners than either could achieve individually. The best partnerships are those in which all parties believe they have gained value.

Whether establishing a joint venture with a landowner or financial partner, building a base of operations with a tenant, or collaborating with a consultant or a contractor to achieve the best possible building, we strive to build rapport with the individuals who sit across the table from us:

The landowner/financial partner
Close collaboration with partners who bring land and/or buildings into a development project has become a hallmark for Forest City across the country. By working together, we help our partners achieve their financial goals, while also furthering Forest City's objectives for "doing well by doing good" in developing high-quality real estate with view to the long term. We are comfortable and experienced working within a number of different financial structures, including formal partnerships, development agreements, ground leases, participating loans, and similar ventures.

Corporate tenants
Our objective is to help our tenants build their organizations by providing the facilities they require to conduct business effectively in a physical environment that supports and enhances the experience of their employees. If you represent a company or an organization seeking to build a long-term real estate relationship that can help you meet your evolving facilities requirements over time, Forest City | Boston seeks to be your partner.

Professional consultants
At Forest City, we strive to work with professional consultants — architects, engineers, contractors, brokers, attorneys, and others — who share our focus on achieving excellence. Our established relationships are built upon respect for the skills and dedication that each of us bring to the table, and we continuously seek to expand our circle by identifying new organizations that offer fresh ideas and an entrepreneurial spirit. We know our consultants, and they know us, and better projects more efficiently delivered are the result of such partnerships.
