From ICSC Cities Are Embracing Mixed-Use Development to Boost Convention Centers “How people gather has changed, so convention centers are thinking about the next generation of conferences and retailing,” says Sheba Ross of HKS, Inc.. To attract more conventions, cities are integrating these centers with their urban environments. Rob Svedberg of @TVS Design AS Company notes that engaging urban surroundings are now key in decision-making for convention organizers. Shannon O’Hare from Cushman & Wakefield emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between convention centers and mixed-use developments, while Rick Strauss of Odyssey Retail Advisors highlights how nearby retail and dining enhance the appeal for convention-goers. Dallas and New Orleans are leading the way with master-planned convention districts. The Dallas Convention Center District aims to create a vibrant, walkable environment, and New Orleans’ River District promises a transformative mixed-use development. Mixed-use development is vital for the success of convention centers. Let's leverage these insights to create vibrant, connected urban spaces! #UrbanDevelopment #MixedUse #ConventionCenters #RealEstate #CityPlanning #ICSC

Yesterday, we kicked off a series of thought leadership events revolving around the “𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗬𝗲𝘀” initiative by the NYC Department of City Planning We hosted an impactful virtual roundtable event focusing on this transformative initiative that aims to reshape NYC’s urban landscape by converting underutilized office spaces into residential units, addressing the housing shortage, and creating vibrant, livable communities. Our esteemed panel was led by the amazing Edith Hsu-Chen, Executive Director of NYC Department of City Planning, with participation of Brian Tormey, NTP from TitleVest and First American, David Rosenberg from Rosenberg & Estis, P.C., and our very own CEO and Co-Founder Avi Aflalo. We showcased how, through our innovative 3D platform, transit-oriented development and town center zoning (Just 2 examples from the “City of Yes” robust initiative) can be contextualized, visualized, and ultimately planned with just a few clicks. It was exciting to demonstrate how our technology can revolutionize urban planning and development. The Q&A session featured some very insightful questions that significantly enhanced the understanding of the "City of Yes" initiative among NYC real estate professionals. Thank you to everyone who joined and participated in this super important discussion!
