The Dynamic City

Forth sees the city as a catalyst for progress. His focus on density, programmatic layering, and the intersection of public and private spaces yields active, memorable, and productive places. As the leader of large-scale projects, including the retail and master planning of Hudson Yards in New York, the continuous development of Hong Kong’s Landmark and Victoria Dockside districts, and Changi Terminal 5 in Singapore, Forth is an expert at assembling and leading large teams to deliver ambitious developments that will continue to define their cities for decades to come.

Program-Rich Environments

Single-use zoning has hampered the success of traditional CBDs as they struggle to adapt to evolving market trends and changing lifestyles. Forth believes that we need to diversify our downtowns, layering a complex mix of uses to create central social districts where people want to spend that most precious commodity—their time. Leveraging his experience across sectors, he has worked to create the building blocks of these lifestyle neighborhoods including Nashville’s new East Bank district and The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami.
