His current redevelopment of Foothill Square in East Oakland, an urban infill project on 14 acres, will soon be anchored by a 72,000 sq. ft. Kroger, 25,000 sq. ft. Ross, and 7,000 sq. ft. Anna’s Linens, in addition to a new Wells Fargo branch. Good news for Oakland. >> AABA’s program benefited from the expert moderation of ICSC favorite Jim McMasters, Senior Retail Specialist and Director of Colliers’ Retail Division. With 35 years experience as a top agent and spokesman for the retail real estate industry, Jim serves as West Coast Chairman of Colliers’ National Retail Steering Committee and chairs its International Retail Committee. >> Thank you to all our program participants, including AABA partners, speakers Mayor Quan and Fred Blackwell, and panelists Patrick Ellwood, Tom Souza, Richard Weinstein, and Pam White. >> Thanks to Lake Chalet for being most accommo- dating in hosting our event on beautiful Lake Merritt.
