Glendale Redevelopment Agency Develops Americana at Brand

Represented the Glendale Redevelopment Agency in the development of the Americana at Brand shopping mall in Glendale, California. This multifaceted public-private project involved a significant allocation of public parking, the integration of a public park, and a ground lease. The project was made more complex due to its shared uses as both a public park and retail site, which gives rise to a potential conflict between the public’s free speech rights and right to assemble on public property, and the rights of private enterprise.
