Background/History
The Crosstown Center Development site located in
Boston occupies six acres and currently consists of a 50,000 square foot
building, paved parking lots, a basketball court, landscaped areas, and a
concrete emergency helicopter landing pad serving the adjacent Boston
Medical Center. Historically, several lead manufacturing companies,
including paint pigment manufacturers and plumbing equipment suppliers, as
well as several gasoline stations have occupied the site. Site
investigations uncovered widespread subsurface contamination primarily from
lead, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
and petroleum hydrocarbons. The value of this site was diminished
considerably by the assumed use limitations and liabilities associated with
environmental and infrastructure costs.
Development Plan
When complete, Crosstown Center will be an office,
retail, and hotel project. Phase I development plans include a 175- room
hotel, 21,500 square feet of retail, and a 650-space parking garage. Phase
II includes a 280,000 square-foot office building, 30,000 square feet of
retail, and 600 additional garage parking spaces. Employment estimates for
the development are approximately 1,000 permanent jobs and between 200-250
construction jobs. Crosstown Center is located in one of the largest
empowerment zones in the U.S.

by Staff Report
In Michigan, some are predicting a better business climate for redevelopment and regulatory closure of contaminated properties thanks to a bill Michigan Governor Rick Snyder was scheduled to sign last week. The new regulations should have a positive impact on commercial real estate development and brownfields redevelopment resulting in the creation of jobs. |

A property located on a bank of the East River and in a densely developed residential and commercial area, had its work cut out for it from an environmental remediation standpoint. The mission was to clean up the land and ultimately make one puzzle piece to a larger urban revitalization project that would be redeveloped as a public library and park ranger station.
