ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE: Development Planning: As Adjunct Professor of Urban Studies & Planning in the College of Urban & Public Affairs at Portland State University for the past 26 years, Mr. Macht teaches graduate planners sequential courses in Real Estate Development Planning I & II and a Development Planning Workshop. The courses evaluate the new public/private partnerships, which are increasingly used for downtown redevelopment, historic rehabilitation, integrated mixed-use urban centers and new communities. They analyze the critical conceptual, feasibility and deal-making phases of the development process, as well as the development and management phases. They examine the new affirmative roles played by both public and private developers, as well as unusual joint development entities. They use the Socratic method for interactive dialogue and instruct students in performing independent case studies of completed projects in the first term and creating independent development plans in the second term. Development Planning Workshops: Mr. Macht formulated the Development Planning Workshop as an interdisciplinary and participatory course in development planning focused on a specific new or adaptive reuse development project of regional significance. Acting as a group development team, or in separate development teams, the class produces a Development Plan or Plans intended to contribute realistic solutions to important issues of public policy as expressed through definable public-private development projects. It collaboratively joins professional resources within the metropolitan urban community in urban, economic and sustainable development, urban design and architecture, market analysis, finance, brokerage, management and law. Students, professors and guest mentors are planners, developers, architects, contractors, economists, bankers, brokers, lawyers, public servants and journalists. Coliseum Reuse Workshop: In the first workshop, Professor Macht divided 18 students into four teams that produced four viable plans for adaptive reuse of Memorial Coliseum including [1] a 650-room convention headquarters hotel within the structure; [2] a 540,000 square-foot Sustainable Technology Center housing up to 2,000 jobs in energy and environmental technologies; [3] a retail Urban Home Center anchored by IKEA and EXPO Design Center or [4] a Memorial Arts Center housing Portland ballet, opera, symphony, drama and film institutions along with an 80,000 square-foot commercial broadcast center, 10-screen Cineplex, a 10,000 square-foot arts and music bookstore and a 15,000 square-foot terrace restaurant overlooking the Willamette River and downtown Portland. Downtown Vancouver Waterfront Workshop: Another recent workshop produced a development plan for the downtown Vancouver waterfront extending the urban grid to create 37 developable blocks with a variety of housing types to develop 4,800 units and 310,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and condominium office space surrounding 7 urban waterfront parks. The workshop also devised a $200 million balanced transportation plan in lieu of a $1.2 billion I-5 bridge replacement. The plan added two center lanes to the freeway on existing piers, a second rail bridge with a third heavy rail track for passenger and commuter rail, two light rail tracks and four arterial lanes. By replacing a rail swing span with an efficient realigned lift span, the plan also aligned river navigation channel openings to eliminate highway bridge lift delays. The development plan would increase the Vancouver tax base on the waterfront from $40 million to $1.3 billion at buildout. Urban Center East Workshop: Mr. Macht taught a development planning workshop on the redevelopment of 7 of the 9 blocks between 3rd and 6th Avenues and Harrison and Market Streets in Portland. The workshop developed a plan to build 2.6 million SF including 1,850 housing units most of which were workforce housing and 47% of which were priced at under $250,000; a Montgomery Row centrally managed retail center of 280,000 SF; flex and condominium office space totaling 279,000 SF and a 133-room hotel in a mixed-use condominium, office and retail complex. The plan was supported by a 2,568-space underground shared parking facility under 4 city blocks to be built by the private sector and purchased by the PSU Foundation using tax-exempt parking revenue bonds. PSUF ownership and management, at the lowest capital costs and operating expenses, generates $1.6 million annually in net cash flow plus another $1.6 million annually in ground rents from leasing the parking structure roof for private development. The plan also developed a 413,000 SF Portland Center for Urban Technologies [PCUT] with 211 high-tech classrooms, a 600-seat circular auditorium divisible into four 150-seat lecture halls, a broadcast center, a 142,000 SF flex space incubator for companies started by creative class, urban professionals applying urban technologies in energy, transportation, parking, urban design, development, planning, health, security, justice, communications, privacy, governance, etc. The plan raised the tax base from $26 million to over $890 million producing tax revenues of over $18 million annually on a PDC investment of $13.5 million. University Place Workshop: Mr. Macht taught a development planning workshop on the redevelopment of the 4-acre University Place hotel site owned by PSU. The workshop formulated a development plan that transformed the hotel into a 180-room extended-stay educational conference center more than doubling its conference space to 21,000 SF plus glazing its courtyard to create a 3-level atrium for conferences, theatrical performances, college convocations and an expanded jazz club/bistro. The plan also added 1200 units of innovative student housing built from shipping containers at a cost of $44,000 per unit each of which support over $100,000 of debt. Sustainable re-use of containers was also a focal point for forming an inter-collegiate and inter-disciplinary residential Federated College of Urban Sustainability (FOCUS) linking university programs of constituent parts of the Oregon University System (OUS), particularly PSU, OHSU, OSU and UO. Real Estate Development Program: Mr. Macht was asked to be a core member of the interdisciplinary Real Estate group, based in the Portland State University School of Urban Studies and Planning but also including the School of Business Administration. The one-year, 25-credit hour program leads to the award of a Certificate in Real Estate Development. Mr. Macht teaches Real Estate Development Planning I and II, which are two of the core courses, as well as a multidisciplinary Development Planning Workshop producing a development plan for a site or building of regional significance. The Coliseum and downtown Vancouver waterfront [see above] are two recent workshops as are the NAIOP competitions below. University of Oregon/Portland: Adjunct Professor of Architecture: Mr. Macht was asked to be an Adjunct Professor of Architecture at the Architecture School of the University of Oregon/Portland Center. He has taught “Urban Development: Housing & Mixed-Use” to graduate architecture students. Professor Macht developed the course to give incipient architects both a broad base of knowledge of real estate development as well as specific training to integrate the tools of economic and market analysis and project finance and the ways in which successful developers integrate market, design, construction, economics, finance, marketing, sales, leasing and property management in particular projects. Seattle Boeing Plant Redevelopment NAIOP Competition: Mr. Macht led a team of 13 students from his Real Estate Development II class in a National Association of Industrial & Office Properties (NAIOP) competition to compete against the University of British Columbia and the University of Washington School of Architecture & Urban Planning/ Runstad Real Estate School for the best plan to redevelop the 47-acre, 2-million SF plant and former headquarters office complex adjacent to Boeing Field and the Duwammish Waterway. The team produced a four-color, 50-page book proposal with an interim plan for boat production and storage, air taxi and other small aircraft design and manufacture, shipping container recycling as building blocks for modular multifamily housing, office and industrial uses and a regional federal center. The long-term strategy proposed ways to integrate the site with Boeing Field to serve growing expansion needs for air express cargo, hangar and air taxi passenger operations to reduce air traffic congestion in the Seattle regional area. The team returned to Seattle to present the plan to a panel of a dozen judges and defend its conclusions. Seattle King St. Station-Qwest Field North Lot NAIOP Competition: Mr. Macht led a team of 20 students in another NAIOP competition to create a development plan for a 6.5-acre development site within a 9-acre redevelopment site, the largest in downtown Seattle. The team produced a plan with 1100 workforce housing condominiums, 540,000 square feet of class A office space, a 200-room limited-service hotel, in a full service environment, 60,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space all around a 5-acre urban park as an extension of 4th Avenue on top of a 2400-space parking structure and linked to the stadium-International District monorail station. The plan used innovative methods of ground leasing and shared parking and was financially feasible without additional public subsidies beyond partial compensation for replacement of 1100 parking spaces required by the Public Stadium Authority. Seattle Waterfront NAIOP Competition: Mr. Macht led a team of 7 students in another NAIOP competition to create a development plan for a 2 blocks on Alaskan Way between Spring and Seneca Streets. The workshop won the competition defeating teams from the University of British Columbia, University of Washington and Washington State. The workshop team plan developed 285 middle-income urban lofts for echo boomers and single baby boomers above 19,000 SF of restaurant and retail space on a waterfront block adjacent to the downtown Seattle retail, office and cultural core. By re-using an existing parking garage with an innovative strategy of long-term leasing, the team increased density to over 345 units per acre, doubled the value of the parking structure in a transit-friendly way, and produced the first LEED Gold-rated residential high-rise while returning over 19% return on cost and 35% on equity. Seattle Downtown NAIOP Competition: Mr. Macht led a team of 7 students in another NAIOP competition in which the team transformed a dated 6-story 220,000 King County Administration Building which housed 500 workers into an efficient 12-story 340,000 building that can house 1,800 employees in a naturally lighted, LEED Gold-rated structure. By choosing to rehabilitate rather than demolish, the team was able to save the County at least two years in time, more than $30 million in costs on an occupancy cost neutral basis compared to current outlays. This was achieved through space efficient modular office systems, leased space cost recovery, employee consolidation savings, sub-leased revenue, relocation cost savings, replacement cost and demolition savings and development cost savings using a special purpose 63-20 development entity. Planning Law: As a Professor, Mr. Macht has also taught the graduate course in Planning Law for seven years. That course considered private land-use controls as well as traditional comprehensive planning and zoning. It also considered innovative concepts of mixed-use districts, phased growth controls, development rights transfers, and land banking.
