Forest City Executive Takes Reins at Atlantic Terminal Mall

Forest City Ratner, the developer and operator of Atlantic Terminal Mall, announced the appointment of Kathryn Welch as senior vice president of its Retail Group.

Welch is a veteran at the Forest City Ratner's Cleveland-based parent company and will oversee its growing New York City-area retail portfolio.

Those holdings include Fort Greene's Atlantic Terminal Mall and Atlantic Center, as well as an under construction 1.3 million-square-foot open-air shopping center in Westchester County.

“I welcome the chance to continue doing what I love to do, creating the kind of retail tenant mix that engenders loyalty—that meets consumers’ basic needs while also offering goods, services and experiences you just can’t get anywhere else," Welch said.

According to a spokeswoman, Welch's appointment is not expected to affect operations at Atlantic Terminal Mall or Atlantic Center.
