GREAT COMMUNITIES
The time for Manchester is now.

Cities across North America are experiencing the direct impacts of demographic, cultural and socioeconomic shifts. While large-scale, bold real estate developments are critical to the repositioning of towns and cities, true betterment of urban and suburban centers is about more than strategies or deliverables: it is about nurturing a spirit of change and growth that permeates from residents, businesses, and community stakeholders. The Broad Street Parkade Mixed-Use Development (Broad Street Development) is emblematic of this idea. For the purposes of this RFQ, our discussion of the Broad Street Development is not about bricks and mortar, heights and densities, or infrastructure costs versus tax uplift. It is about doing what is necessary to create a heart for Manchester that will be transformational to the future of Manchester and its community. It is about leveraging the Bigelow Brook and its adjoining network of parks throughout the Town of Manchester. It is about embracing and bettering downtown Manchester by understanding the character and people of the Town and by creating more reasons for people to visit or stay within Manchester. It is about creating a development that is appropriate for the current market conditions of Manchester but will also catalyze the future economic and experiential vibrancy of the community. Simply put, our vision for the Broad Street Development is to be a place where people intuitively enjoy being where there are things to do, ways to recreate, incredible shops and restaurants to enjoy, and events and festivities to embrace. In sum, it will become a local and regional destination. The coming pages of this RFQ we will explain our unique expertise and approach as it applies to realizing this vision on Broad Street. Should our team be selected to continue, we are dedicated to advancing step-by-step with your community and to working towards the creation of a mixeduse project that will complement Manchester while galvanizing its future within the Greater Hartford Area. We are look forward to embarking on a generation-defining collaboration with you.

Our History
LiveWorkLearnPlay was founded by Max Reim with the vision of creating iconic, enduring and vibrant places that foster economic vitality, memorable experiences and thriving communities for generations to come. Prior to founding the organization, Max and several other LiveWorkLearnPlay colleagues led the development of some of the most thriving destination mixed-use villages at resort towns across North America and Europe. These iconic places include: the Village of Baytowne Wharf in Destin, Florida; Les Arcs, France; Mont Tremblant, Quebec; Snowshoe Mountain Resort, West Virigina; and Whistler Creekside, British Columbia. These developments led to the conception of LiveWorkLearnPlays core mission: to create the heart and soul of mixed-use developments and developments that would shape the core of towns and cities across North America. Today, LiveWorkLearnPlay is recognized as a leading North American expert in the master development of large-scale mixed-use projects. Our organization continues to work towards the belief that every project and every community, regardless of size, should have the opportunity to experience the economic, social and cultural benefits of a mixed-use environment: neighborhoods where people of all ages and lifestyles can live, work, learn, and play. LWLP is dedicated as a developer to the State of Connecticut, as shown through our New Haven project, as well as working closely with the developers during the initial phases of the Storrs Center and Great Pond developments.
Our Development Philosophy

Our development philosophy centers around three pillars: performance; personality; and place. These principles are critical to the long-term success of a mixed-use environment. 1. Place Create genuine, identifiable and enduring neighborhoods that reinforce and celebrate regional history, heritage, culture, economy, and personality where people of all ages and backgrounds interact and form lifelong connections. 2. Personality We realize the physical, commercial, cultural, recreational, and social potential of a neighborhood, whose sum total creates the iconic character and personality of a place. The goal is to ignite long-lasting vitality and memorable experiences for generations to come. 3. Performance We develop financially viable places that maximize net realizable revenues, profits and overall economy. These places attract businesses, residents, institutions, and visitors to become invested in the success of the project or neighborhood and strengthen the core of the community.

A powerful movement is happening in towns and cities throughout the world. People are seeking iconic and vibrant places to gather and connect to other people, jobs, businesses, arts and culture, education, health care and recreation, and dozens of things to do in truly mixed-use neighborhoods. Now is the time for the Manchester community to reap the benets of a dynamic, activated and enduring mixed-use neighborhood that will be a catalyst in helping the Town achieve its full potential for residents, businesses and visitors alike. - Max Reim
Co-Managing Partner & Founding Principal
The core seeds for the success of this development are already here, dormant and waiting to be cultivated through sound principles of planning and design, and real estate development. Manchesters unique geography, settlement patterns, street network and green space await the opportunity to be woven into a cohesive urban fabric that celebrates Manchester and as a wonderful place to live, work learn, and play.
- Herb Newman, FAIA Principal, Newman Architects
The success of the Broad Street Redevelopment will be a catalyst for the neighborhood, the downtown and greater Manchester.

Development Approach
LiveWorkLearnPlays development approach is comprehensive and carefully calculated. Being a vertically integrated master development firm means that we are diligent by design. Additionally, we believe in genuine, two-sided public and private stakeholder consultation and collaboration at every phase of development. A brief summary of our development approach is as follows. It is not intended to be prescriptive, as the needs of each project are vastly different and tailored to each project. The approach below, however, does detail our highly disciplined and unique approach to creating large-scale mixed-use developments.
Step 1: Market Assessment

Regional Marketplace and Competitive Landscape: Conduct a thorough assessment of the immediate region and relevant sub-markets to identify opportunities and the viability of specific uses for the Broad Street Development. Target Market Analysis of Achievable CustomersTM: Complete a rigorous analysis of the targeted end users for the Broad Street Development from primary, secondary and tertiary markets. Based on extensive research, establish visitation and spending patterns of the Achievable CustomersTM and potential market share/capture rates. Vision and Guiding Principles: It is only after we have a deep understanding of the market, landscape and demand that we develop the vision and guiding principles that will shape the Broad Street Development in order to articulate the projects positioning, key differentiators and competitive advantages. Commercial, Residential, Recreational, Institutional and Office Assessment: Further evaluate the potential for commercial, residential, recreational, institutional and office uses within the Broad Street Development, and establish the demand and potential for each supportable use in the development.
Current Condition of the Development Site
Step 2: Detailed Business and Master Planning

Mixed-Use Program: Develop the optimal anchor and secondary mixed-use programming for the Broad Street Development reflecting market and end-user demand.
28
Master Planning and Preliminary Architectural Design: Based on the mixed-use program, create a comprehensive development master plan and preliminary architectural designs of the Broad Street Development, reflecting the established vision, business plan, and financial feasibility, in addition to intelligently delineating each phase of development. Public Process on Preliminary Programming and Design: Execute a public outreach process to solicit feedback from the regional Manchester community, public sector and private sector stakeholders for the programming, master plan and preliminary architectural design of the Broad Street Development. Financial Modeling: Assemble financial models to prepare preliminary development proformas for the project, and budgets for the management of the mixed-use assets in the Broad Street Development, and forecast economic impact of the proposed development. Development Funding: Secure the appropriate funding mechanisms, partners and critical path/process to achieve the development plan.
Step 3: Implementation
Entitlements & Approvals: Advance and obtain the entitlements of the subject properties, and attain the appropriate development, zoning, site plan and architectural approvals. Targeted Leasing and Casting (TLC): TLC is LWLPs unique and branded commercial leasing and sales process. By developing long-term partnerships with the best of the best local, regional, and national businesses, the commercial assets of the project will drive value throughout the development. Community Drivers and Animation (CDATM): CDATM plans, funds, and implements local activities, events, festivities and rituals: this attracts visitation, fosters relationships and creates a vibrant community life, and would take place even during the early years of development for Broad Street.
Step 4: Vertical Development and Asset Management

Development and Construction Management: Management of financing, construction and all consultants or other elements of the development. Governance and Operations: Assemble property management team and establish and implement governance, asset management and legal strategies for the ongoing operations of the asset.
29
Architectural Approach
We strongly support a mixed-use development plan in which diversity of use, age, and income are part of the development plan. Lively retail-related uses with housing and a range of intimate and human-scaled public activities for open space; pedestrian and bicycle scaled paths; human-scaled integration of the vehicular and public transportation are vital elements of our approach. A diversity of uses will create a critical mass of housing, retail, commercial, civic, and recreational activities all celebrating an intimate, safe, and human-scaled physical environment. The Broad Street development should graft the existing fabric of Manchester, including its streets, paths, parks, and waterways into a cohesive whole. Streets are the most important space within a town because it is where a critical mass of people can share experiences and they provide the lifeblood of the town. At the heart of this idea is the making of place at the confluence of street and paths. An outdoor space which celebrates the history, life, activities, and most importantly the people of Manchester themselves. The core of this development and its connection to Broad Street would energize the commercial, cultural, and recreational life of Manchester in the forming of a town square that compliments the existing downtown. An armature of connectors that links circulation paths and extends the possibilities for development beyond the boundaries of the site, a series of smaller intimate outdoor rooms courtyards, mews, and alleys can bring intimacy and pedestrian-scaled architecture to the site, the neighborhoods, and Town. Participation of the community in developing the master plan is critical. We have had great success with a process which is inclusive and engages input, feedback and participation of diverse constituencies to form a uniquely home-grown foundation for short and long-term planning. The greening of Manchester through sustainable principles of planning, architectural, and engineering design disciplines will reinforce a growing understanding that the health and survival of our civilization demands our attention and investment in a green approach.

THE PLACE Tallahassee is Floridas state capital and home to over 60,000 students at three colleges and universities, including Florida State University (FSU), which boasts nationally ranked academic faculties and legendary college sports programs. Despite the significant student population, Tallahassee has historically lacked the feeling of a college town environment. The Seminole Boosters (Boosters) is the support organization for FSU Athletics and owns underutilized land in downtown Tallahassee, adjacent to the FSU campus. OUR FOCUS In 2008, in collaboration with FSU, the City of Tallahassee and private investors, the Boosters began to revise their real estate strategy in order to maximize its revenue potential in a way that also fulfilled its core mission of serving and enhancing the university community. LiveWorkLearnPlay was engaged by the Boosters to lead a master planning process that outlined clear goals for Booster lands, provided a vision for mixeduse university neighborhood developments, and detailed conceptual physical plans for the sites along with an overall commercial development strategy. These efforts led to a major development known today as College Town.

Presented recommendations for maximizing the highest and best use of Booster lands by improving the overall football game-day weekend experience while creating a mixed-use neighborhood environment that would service both FSU and broader Tallahassee community members. Delivered a conceptual master plan and commercial mixeduse development program which were approved by the Boosters Board of Directors and private sector partners. Phase 1 of the development opened to the public in August 2013, with phase 2 planned for delivery in 2015. Catalyzed development momentum that has led to significant redevelopment and private sector investment in the site adjacencies. Propelled by the success of College Town, LWLP has maintained involvement in Tallahassee to facilitate a complimentary Tallahassee revitilization strategy for all of downtown.

Broadway District Revitalization
Broadway was a ourishing retail precinct during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but the areas pedestrian vitality was eroded by parking lots and traffic problems. The City of New Haven and Yale University jointly developed a project to revive the district, asking us to do the design. Our master plan called for a comprehensive program of streetscape and traffic improvements combined with facade renewals, a signage program, and the construction of new inll structures on underutilized sites. The pedestrian shopping realm was improved with generously widened brick paved sidewalks. Overhead power lines were buried and new American Elm trees were planted to reestablish the glorious natural canopy of The Elm City. The parking island is now sequestered within a ring of American Elm trees and enclosed in new cast iron fencing, a replica of the fencing that encircles the New Haven Green. We redesigned the roads to improve traffic ow, provided a number of safe pedestrian crossings, more clearly dened the sidewalks and increased curbside parking spaces adjacent to the stores. Re-established as a signicant place within the fabric of New Haven, the Broadway District thrives at the conuence of urban and campus life.

The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk Mixed Use Development

South Windsor, CT Fuss & ONeill provided extensive land development and survey services for The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk, a lifestyle center, which is the first phase of the 244 acre Evergreen Walk mixeduse development.
Fuss & ONeill has and continues to provide a host of professional services to the overall Evergreen Walk project which currently includes approvals for a 250-room hotel; 75,000 sq. ft. of indoor recreation; 650,000 sq. ft. of office space; and 375,000 sq. ft. of retail uses. Services provided include: environmental assessment, land survey, site design, storm drainage design, water system design, and wetland review/mitigation design services as well as land use and wetland permitting support. The Promenade Shops were developed on 52 acres of the mixed-use land. The high-end retail stores and dining areas opened for business in 2005. Providing a pedestrian friendly environment, the project resembles a traditional New England village. Vehicular access provides for parking near the front and rear of stores and makes for a very convenient and user friendly shopping atmosphere. The shops project will serve as the centerpiece in the overall Evergreen Walk development. This is a real partnership with the Town of South Windsor, the developers involved, and the team of architects and designers, John Finguerra, the projects primary developer, Evergreen Walk, LLC, said. This is a town with vision and a group of developers with an appreciation for the quality growth the town desires. The town understands the importance the revenue a project of this size will bring, both in commerce and taxes; and the developers understand the towns desire to retain its suburban culture and scale. He added. From the very beginning, Fuss & ONeills ability to bring insight and understanding of the communitys land development objectives has made a huge contribution to the projects ongoing success.

Windsor Locks Transit-Oriented Development Study

Windsor Locks, CT Relocating the train station back to its original downtown location is anticipated to spur redevelopment and new mixed-use along Main Street.
This project required seamless collaboration between F&Os multi-discipline design team, including market analysis and economic development experts, and the Town. Beginning with an analysis of current conditions and using the existing Downtown Master Plan as a starting point, the larger area had to be considered prior to focusing on the train station site. The potential full build-out plan was created and then tested against the economics to determined a realistically phased redevelopment plan. The final implementation plan includes possible funding sources to fill gaps, zoning rewrite recommendations, and street upgrades to increase mobility choices.
While the train station is the center of the proposed new investment and development, the catalyst will be the restoration of the historic Montgomery Mill into multi-family housing of views of the canal and the river.

Route 34 - Downtown Crossing Urban Boulevard Corridor

New Haven, CTt The City of New Haven is undertaking the Downtown Crossing project to convert a portion of Route 34 between Union Avenue and Park Street into an urban boulevard. It is the Citys goal to implement a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) plan that will reunite distressed neighborhoods with downtown while preserving corridor mobility, enhancing safety, and improving economic conditions. The State of Connecticut, private developers, the Yale School of Medicine and Yale-New Haven Hospital are all deeply-committed partners. Fuss & ONeill worked on behalf of private development in coordinating a multitude of planning, design, permitting, and constructability issues for the Phase 1 development and infrastructure improvements project. Downtown Crossing integrates mixed-use development and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) to take advantage of the transportation infrastructure and to create patterns of development that reflect the values and vision of the community; complement and enhance the surrounding districts; and connect visually, physically, socially and culturally with the adjacent neighborhoods - all in a manner that creates a cohesive city.
Phase 1 of Downtown Crossing, is an innovative project that tackles the complex interrelationships of land use, traffic, economic conditions, and the environment; builds upon the inherent strengths of the area; and proposes the construction of new, sustainable transportation infrastructure. This allows the district to reach its full potential as a growing biomedical center of global significance.

Experience in Public/Private Development Projects

LWLPs Experience in Public/Private Development Projects At LWLP, our team has extensive experience working collaboratively with the public sector and with other private sector entities in public/private partnership structures. These projects have utilized a number of partnership agreements, financial structures, and vary significantly in scale and scope. Just as the Town of Manchester is looking to create a public/private partnership, our team is supportive of the direction to assess a number of partnership opportunities with the public sector in order to advance the Broad Street Development. Many of our projects are not simply a bi-product of private/public partnerships; but are defined by the deep vested interest of numerous parties. We believe that the future of implementable and successful large scale mixed-use development will require a level of collaboration that can only come from this mutually beneficial structure, regardless of who owns the physical asset. LWLP invests its own equity into our development projects for both the pre-development and development phases, including investment into the vertical development. LWLP has relationships with institutional lenders in both the US and Canada, who have invested debt and equity into our projects. LWLP also has relationships with private investors, who have invested necessary equity on a number of our projects. Selection of LWLPs Public/Private Projects Here are several recent examples of where LWLP has been part of successful public/private partnerships: Coliseum Redevelopment (New Haven, CT) In partnership with the City of New Haven, LWLP has been working as the master developer of the Coliseum redevelopment project since 2011. As the winning proponent of a RFP process managed by the City, LWLP worked hand-andhand with city staff as one project team during the predevelopment process. This approach was necessary to come to a timely and mutually beneficial Development and Land Disposition Agreement, in addition to working closely with the City staff and representatives on key infrastructure initiatives outside of the development project. LWLP has locked arms with the public partners at all steps of the predevelopment process including local community organizations, institutions and civic entities, businesses, and of course, the many community members in New Haven. LWLP and private equity investors are funding the development. Together we will be investing $362 million into the project, augmented by some contributions from the City of New Haven and the State of Connecticut towards infrastructure improvements and as-of-right affordable housing programs. Marina District (Riviera Beach, FL) Working with Viking Developments, LWLP partnered with the Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (a subsidiary of the City of Riviera Beach, Florida) to create Rivieras Beach $300 million Marina District. The master planning process was led by LWLP, in collaboration with the City, Redevelopment Agency, Viking Developments, and world-class architecture and design experts. The development team has been making significant progress on garnering vast community support for the vision and master plan centered around creating a mixed-use village with key civic amenities, creating solutions for land holding issues and required infrastructure improvements, and now moving into the implementation and development of the project funded jointly by private lenders and public agencies.

Baker Street (Guelph, Ontario, Canada) LWLP has been working with the City of Guelph, Ontario (Canada) to transform its downtown to attract visitation from a wide range of residents as well as visitors from in and around the region. This is being done principally through a significant public/private partnership development for a proposed 4-acre parcel of land in the heart of Guelphs downtown along Baker Street. This $225 million public/private development opportunity will combine the municipalitys flagship public library, components of an academic campus, student residences, retail and residential offerings. LWLP has lead the business planning and conceptual master planning of the development, and is additionally responsible for the recruitment of public and private partners to advance the development. Pan/Parapan American Games Athletes Village (Toronto, ON, Canada) LWLP joined the Dundee-Kilmer Developments Ltd. development team who partnered with Infrastructure Ontario and Waterfront Toronto to develop the 2015 PanAm Athletes Village in Toronto, Canada. Both the Government of Ontario and Dundee-Kilmer Development Ltd. have dedicated long-term funding for the project to galvanize its creation over two phases, ultimately creating a new downtown in Torontos downtown east side with significant economic outcomes for both public and private partners. Phase I of the projects is the outcome of our $800 million of public and private investment. LWLP was responsible for the planning, programming and all implementation relating to the ground floor activation and leasing for the development.
