Development

Brookfield Properties holds interests in 16 million square feet of high-quality, centrally-located development properties within its core markets. Presently, 15 development and redevelopment sites total 16.5 million square feet of buildable density. These projects, acquired over time for value, are at various stages of construction and planning. As the economy continues to rebound, supply constraints will provide new opportunities for Brookfield Properties to create long-term value through development of the projects as our risk-adjusted return hurdles and pre-leasing targets are met.

A super block along Ninth Avenue, Brookfield Properties' site extends from 31st to 33rd Street (there is no 32nd Street on this block) and comprises 5.4 million square feet of buildable density. Planning is underway for an office complex of four buildings and connecting public spaces, akin to Brookfield Properties' World Financial Center (New York), Brookfield Place (Toronto) or Bankers Hall (Calgary). A deck will be constructed over the railroad tracks which sit below-grade on a portion of the site platform.

Significant redevelopment is taking place in the neighborhood, including the expansion of the Jacob Javits Convention Center two blocks to the west and the redevelopment of the Farley Post Office directly across the street. The Farley building is being redeveloped as Moynihan Station, a new transportation facility which will enhance and extend Pennsylvania Station, New York City's most heavily-trafficked transit hub.

The first new development in Toronto's financial core in more than a decade, Bay Adelaide Centre, a LEED® Gold property, was launched in the summer of 2006 with the commencement of construction of Bay Adelaide West, a 1.2 million square foot, 51-story office tower at the northeast corner of Bay and Adelaide Streets. The first building of the 2.6 million square foot project is to be completed in 2009 and will be anchored by KPMG, Goodmans LLP and Fasken Martineau.  Phases Two and Three of Bay Adelaide Centre will likely be a mix of office and hotel/residential.
