TurnStyle, the first privately financed retail marketplace within the NYC subway system sets a model for public private partnerships and transit retail. Four years in the making, TurnStyle features 39 food, beverage and retail shops, with several creative upstarts growing their business. David Dunlap called TurnStyle a “small-scale evocation of a busy shopping street.”

Susan Fine, its developer, will share the evolution of TurnStyle from initial vision to its management. The senior TurnStyle team is comprised entirely of women, which is highly unusual in real estate development. Ms. Fine will moderate an interactive discussion with the team leading the project.
