THE POWER OF ART “ART IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE, BUT WHAT YOU MAKE OTHERS SEE.” EDGAR DEGAS Art in all forms is a key ingredient to ZOM Living’s approach to real estate development. Innovative design of the physical spaces within our projects is essential, but it is color, texture, furnishings, and art that complete the design equation and stir the emotions of our residents. We constantly stretch our developers, designers, and consultants during the design process, while giving them creative freedom to surprise and inspire. The benefits are enormous. Surveys by ZRS, our management affiliate, indicate that upon arrival at our projects, two thirds of our future residents have already decided to live there, even before engaging with the leasing team to tour the property. This emotional connection often translates into higher rents. Our project rents and resident retention levels often exceed those of our competitors. Higher rents translate into higher project values, and this has led to a number of record-setting sales. Our projects consistently garner industry recognition as well, with over 170 awards accumulated through the years, including several national Project of the Year honors. Finally, our projects make a lasting contribution to the cultural fabric of the neighborhoods where our residents live and work. We invite you to visit the Gallery section of our website to see examples of the inspired art that add a unique and powerful dimension to the ZOM Living experience. As we enter 2019, ZOM’s business continues to flourish. Muze at Met and Maizon Brickell will debut in Downtown Miami, Azola in West Palm Beach, and Kinstead will open in North Dallas. -

via email: [email protected] PLANNING ARCHITECTURE INTERIOR DESIGN May 12, 2010 Nancy Muller Florida Housing Finance Corporation 227 North Bronough Street, Suite 5000 Tallahassee, Florida 32301 RE: FORUM’S COMMENTS ON “FLORIDA HOUSING DISCUSSION POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION FOR THE 2011 UNIVERSAL APPLICATION CYCLE” Dear Nancy, I attended the First Rule Development Workshop as well as a CAHP sub-committee meeting on April 29th in Orlando, both of which I found to be very informative and interesting. The meetings certainly gave us a much better feel for the Universal Application process and the difficulties FHFC faces moving forward. FORUM is an established industry leader in multifamily housing design, and we have been actively designing multi-family projects for 24 years throughout the country, although we are primarily focused in Florida. More than half of our 320+ multifamily developments are affordable projects. We work closely with many of Florida’s affordable housing developers, contractors and local housing authorities and we can provide constructive comments to some of the Discussion Points from this position of experience that we hope you will find valuable and insightful. Please find the attached comments gathered from the experienced staff at FORUM presented, per your request, for your consideration in establishing criteria for the revised 2011 Universal Application and beyond. Should you have any questions about our comments, or should you like any additional input, we are happy to assist you in any way that we can. Please feel free to contact me and thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this process. -
Attachment 1 Transit Oriented Development and Affordable
Attachment 1 Transit Oriented Development and Affordable Housing Policies Florida’s Work toward Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Guidelines In Florida, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Community Affairs have worked together to create a framework for TOD, and are working on guidelines for local governments that want to create transit-oriented communities. There are no specific state standards for an area to be considered as TOD; it is defined at the local level. At this point, DCA and DOT have developed a guide of best practices for TOD, based on the type of setting (urban, suburban, and rural). Their findings include the following national best practices for TOD: • ¼ to ½ mile radius around a transit station, the distance most pedestrians are willing to walk; • Optimize transit, walking and biking; reducing “vehicle miles traveled”; • High density, 24-hour live, work and recreate centers (connecting housing and jobs); and • Reduced parking requirements. Most state level planning recognizes the importance of affordable housing in TOD. The Florida draft guidelines acknowledge that TOD is conducive to affordable or workforce housing options, but that “land values increase around station areas, therefore if left to market conditions alone, maintaining the affordability of housing near TODs can be problematic over time1.” At the federal level, HUD and the Federal Transit Administration are collaborating to address this issue. The Government Accountability Office report on TOD and affordable housing notes that state housing finance agencies have an important role in encouraging the development of affordable housing near transit, including TODs. The final section of this paper includes information on specific TODs in Florida. -
