Forest City West president Kevin Ratner - Bisnow/Allen Matkins Silicon Beach

Forest City West president Kevin Ratner said the company is working on several large projects up in San Francisco—somewhere in the neighborhood of 5M SF that it's entitling—and a couple of residential projects down here. He discussed the San Francisco tech market's long-time culture of sharing and serendipitous interaction. A lot of the smaller firms want to be around lots of different companies doing lots of other things versus the idea of a "campus in the middle of nowhere."
