People with vision and tenacity make excellent candidates for jobs in mixed use real estate. Projects such as The Yards in Washington D.C. take time, patience, persistence, and passion to turn dreams into a reality. This project is an example of a public and private partnership. Forest City Realty Trust has helped turn 48 acres of abandoned government industrial facilities into a vibrant community in southeast Washington, D.C., complete with a diverse set of local merchants, unique office facilities and newly constructed apartments and condos. Situated next to the Washington Navy Yard along the banks of the Anacostia River, the development project known as The Yards, has played a part in growing the economic activity in the area and the creation of hundreds of jobs.
