Anatomy Of A Large Scale Redevelopment Deal
Jon Jerde is negotiating with the city of Sacramento to develop a 240-acre rail yard and Superfund site into a new neighborhood for the capital's downtown.
Large-scale urban redevelopment is a specialty for Mall of America architect Jon Jerde, who has designed a range of projects in the U.S., Japan and China...

Union Pacific is now cleaning up the toxins from portions of the acreage.
