HQ Function

Served as the central hub for corporate strategy, financial management, real estate development planning, and oversight of the company's national portfolio of office, retail, and residential properties.

Notable Features:

Housed within Key Tower, an iconic 57-story skyscraper in downtown Cleveland that Forest City co-developed. Key Tower is one of the tallest buildings in Ohio and a landmark on the Cleveland skyline.

Work Culture:

Historically influenced by its founding family (the Ratners), fostering a long-term vision and community involvement. Prior to its acquisition, the culture was evolving, balancing its legacy with the demands of a large publicly traded real estate entity, often described as dedicated and experienced.

HQ Significance:

The headquarters symbolized Forest City's significant impact on Cleveland's urban landscape and its status as a major national real estate developer. Its location in Key Tower, a project they spearheaded, underscored their development capabilities.

Values Reflected in HQ: Ambition in development (exemplified by Key Tower), a commitment to urban revitalization, and a deep connection to its home city of Cleveland.

Location:

Forest City Realty Trust's operations were primarily concentrated in major urban centers across the United States. While it did not have a significant number of physical international offices, its U.S. properties, particularly flagship developments, attracted international investment, tenants, and partners. The company's global engagement was mainly through capital market activities and relationships with international investors interested in the U.S. real estate market. Post-acquisition by Brookfield Asset Management, its assets are part of a truly global real estate platform.
