The Breakthrough
For thelast two years, FCRC has engaged in Research &Development analyzing many components of Modern Methods
of Construction (MMC) in an effort to bring technology and innovation to high-riseresidential construction. In doing so,
weassembled aworld class teamof experts in their field including XSiteModular, A rup E ngineering, and SHoP
A rchitects, who havedeveloped amethodology to revolutionizetheway webuild highly technical buildings today in
denseurban environments likeNew York City. Theresult of this R&D effort is asystemand aprocess that creates
limitless possibilities for quality, high-risebuildings with architectural flexibility and cost effectiveness allowing modular
to beutilized in denseurban environments wherecurrently no cost-effectivehigh-risesolution exists. A pplying this R&D
to high-riseconstruction and other markets creates abusiness opportunity that provides an unparalleled competitive
advantage
Forest City is committed to building thefirst residential building at A tlantic Yards by utilizing thesolution developed
during thetwo year R&D effort. Thefirst residential building ("B2") will be340 ,0 0 0 SF, 32- story rental building with 350
units. FCRC is committed to starting theconstruction of this building in 20 12. B2 is thefirst of theA tlantic Yards master
planned development which has apipelineof 6,430 units.
A s part of theresearch and development effort, Forest City has also been engaged in discussions with theBuilding and
Construction Trades Council to createanew union classification of workers who will work in thefactory at competitive
wagerates.
The Modular Building Process
Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) encompasses innovativesolutions in building products, software, tooling,
methods and construction systeminnovations that increasethelevels of safety, productivity, sustainability, lifespan,
cost savings and speed of construction.
Our solution utilizes many facets of MMC including Building Information Modeling (BIM), Preassembled Components,
Subassemblies and Modular construction, Integrated Project Delivery Methods, Lean Construction/Manufacturing. We
havealso developed aproprietary innovativestructural assembly method with Patent Pending connection details. We
arealso working with theBuilding and Construction Trades Council to createanew union classification of worker who
will work in our factory at competitivewagerates.
Our solution focuses on thedesign, fabrication, MMC, and installation of threelevels of Prefabrication: Preassembled
Components, Subassemblies and Modular Construction. Prefabrication is atermused to describethespectrumof
applications wherebuildings, structures or parts aremanufactured and assembled remotely fromthebuilding siteprior
to installation in their final position. In summary, this moves operations that aretraditionally completed on-siteat the
project location to amanufacturing environment offsite.
Modular projects will beproduced by union labor in New York City. Whileinitially constructed for useon A tlantic Yards,
this new industry has thepotential to createmodular components for construction projects worldwide. This Modular
factory has thepotential to introduceoneof thefirst, major manufacturing expansions in New York City since
manufacturing began its declineover ageneration ago.

The Breakthrough
For the last two years, FCRC has engaged in Research & Development analyzing many components of Modern Methods
of Construction (MMC) in an effort to bring technology and innovation to high-rise residential construction. In doing so,
we assembled a world class team of experts in their field including XSite Modular, Arup Engineering, and SHoP
Architects, who have developed a methodology to revolutionize the way we build highly technical buildings today in
dense urban environments like New York City. The result of this R&D effort is a system and a process that creates
limitless possibilities for quality, high-rise buildings with architectural flexibility and cost effectiveness allowing modular
to be utilized in dense urban environments where currently no cost-effective high-rise solution exists. Applying this R&D
to high-rise construction and other markets creates a business opportunity that provides an unparalleled competitive
advantage
Forest City is committed to building the first residential building at Atlantic Yards by utilizing the solution developed
during the two year R&D effort. The first residential building ("B2") will be 340,000 SF, 32- story rental building with 350
units. FCRC is committed to starting the construction of this building in 2012. B2 is the first of the Atlantic Yards master
planned development which has a pipeline of 6,430 units.
As part of the research and development effort, Forest City has also been engaged in discussions with the Building and
Construction Trades Council to create a new union classification of workers who will work in the factory at competitive
wage rates.

Our solution utilizes many facets of MMC including Building Information Modeling (BIM), Preassembled Components,

have also developed a proprietary innovative structural assembly method with Patent Pending connection details. We
are also working with the Building and Construction Trades Council to create a new union classification of worker who
will work in our factory at competitive wage rates.
Our solution focuses on the design, fabrication, MMC, and installation of three levels of Prefabrication: Preassembled
Components, Subassemblies and Modular Construction. Prefabrication is a term used to describe the spectrum of
applications where buildings, structures or parts are manufactured and assembled remotely from the building site prior
to installation in their final position. In summary, this moves operations that are traditionally completed on-site at the
project location to a manufacturing environment offsite.
Modular projects will be produced by union labor in New York City. While initially constructed for use on Atlantic Yards,
this new industry has the potential to create modular components for construction projects worldwide. This Modular
factory has the potential to introduce one of the first, major manufacturing expansions in New York City since
manufacturing began its decline over a generation ago.
