designation from the City and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation 
Authority to redevelop the Kingston Bedford garage and Lincoln-Essex 
parking lot downtown and Southwest Corridor Parcel 18 in Roxbury, 
requests authorization to establish two joint ventures to carry out 
the projects envisioned in Parcel to Parcel Linkage Program Project 
I. The new entities, Kingston Bedford Joint Venture and Ruggles 
Center Joint Venture, each request approval of zoning plans necessary 
to complete the projects. 



MEMORANDUM June 29, 1989 

PARCEL-TO-PARCEL LINKAGE I 

The two developments, known as One Lincoln Street and Ruggles Center, 
are the first in the City's Parcel to Parcel Linkage Program. The 
development of One Lincoln Center is linked to and makes possible the 
development of Ruggles Center, thus triggering a critical mass of 
growth activity in an area which may not otherwise attract 
investment. The development of Ruggles Center will serve as the 
anchor to build a new service-oriented neighborhood economy in 
Roxbury and act as a catalyst to raise living standards of residents 
through the creation of new jobs and community development programs. 
Furthermore, the Ruggles Center development will stimulate additional 
development and inner city renewal in Roxbury and the Southwest 
Corridor. 

For the Chinatown community the development of One Lincoln Street as 
part of the Program will strengthen the existing economy by providing 
opportunities for neighborhood business expansion and offering 
Chinatown residents diverse job opportunities. 

Both communities will benefit from housing and job training linkage, 
a community development fund, child care facilities and other 
community benefits programs. In addition to these benefits, the 
joint ventures developing One Lincoln Street and Ruggles Center 
include community-based investors and non-profit organizations, 
thereby promoting equity participation by community developers. The 
projects will also create opportunities for minority and women 
enterprises by establishing a minimvim participation goal by minority 
and women businesses in all project construction contracts and 
professional technical services budgets. 

ONE LINCOLN CENTER 

Development Program 

Kingston Bedford Joint Venture (KBJV) is seeking approval of a 
Development Impact Project Plan and Planned Development Area Plan for 
One Lincoln Street, a mixed use development consisting of an office 
building with both a low-rise element and a tower. Retail uses will 
be located on the lower floors. One Lincoln Street also includes an 
underground parking garage containing parking for up to 92 cars on 
five levels. The development, sited on 74,082 square feet, is 
approximately 952,000 square feet of gross floor area. The low-rise 
component has a height of approximately 101 feet and the tower has a 
height of approximately 465 feet. 

The developer anticipates that construction of One Lincoln Street 
will commence in first quarter of 1990. It is currently contemplated 
that the building will be completed by the end of 1993. A fact sheet 
is appended for your reference in Tab 3 . 



MEMORANDUM June 29, 19 89 

PARCEL-TO-PARCEL LINKAGE I 

Site Description 

One Lincoln Street will be located within the parcel of land in 
Boston, bounded by Kingston Street, Bedford Street, Essex Street, the 
John F. Fitzgerald Expressway and Lincoln Street (other than the 
portion of said land occupied by 88 Kingston Street, 105 Bedford 
Street and the portion of Columbia Street adjacent to 105 Bedford 
Street) . The project is described in the Development Plan. 

Open Spaces and Landscaping 

One Lincoln Street will include a series of ground floor lobbies, 
passages, and public spaces which incorporate retail shops. KBJV 
intends to construct a four-story landscaped and sky-lit atrium 
which extends upward from the second floor above the central public 
space. A community exhibition area is proposed to be included in the 
development of the public atrium area. KBJV will also landscape the 
sidewalk area surrounding the building, pave the sidewalk area with 
brick pavings with granite curbs, provide acorn lighting fixtures and 
street trees, and preserve the existing granite slabs in the sidewalk 
area. 

If and when the City widens Essex Street, a project which would 
necessitate the demolition of 88 Kingston Street, KBJV has committed 
to landscape that corner site as well. 

RUGGLES CENTER 

Development Program 

Ruggles Center Joint Venture (RCJV) is applying for Planned 
Development Area designation for the site. Because Ruggles Center is 
a phased project on more than five acres of land, RCJV requests 
approval of a Master Plan which outlines the general concept, 
phasing, and density for the entire project. The Master Plan also 
satisfies the zoning code requirement for a Development Impact 
Project Plan. As plans for each phase progress, RCJV will submit a 
Development Plan for each phase. At this time, RCJV is submitting 
the Development Plan for Phase I. 

The total project may include three office buildings, a hotel, a 
parking garage, and child care and retail space. The project, when 
completed, will be approximately 1,220,000 square feet of gross floor 
area with building heights varying from 96 feet to 178 feet to the 
top of the last occupiable floor. A central plaza will be the focal 
point of Ruggles Center with a series of retail uses and building 
lobbies opening onto the plaza. 



MEMORANDUM June 29, 1989 

PARCEL-TO-PARCEL LINKAGE I 

Site Description 

The development site for Ruggles Center consists of 5.10 acres 
located in Roxbury, bounded by Ruggles Street, Tremont Street, Melnea 
Cass Boulevard and land owned by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation 
Authority (MBTA) . The development site for Phase I consists of 2.96 
acres. A plan depicting the site and the Phase I site is attached in 
the Development Plan for Phase I. 

The developer proposes to commence construction of Phase I in October 
of 1989. Phase 1 of Ruggles Center involves the construction and 
development of three distinct elements of the Master Plan: a plaza, 
an office/retail building, and a free standing parking garage. As 
part of the development of Phase 1, the Applicant will improve that 
portion of Columbus Avenue Extension located in Phase I and the 
sidewalks abutting the office/retail building and the garage. 

It is estimated that the construction of the subsequent buildings on 
Ruggles Center will occur during the period 1991 to 1996. 

Open Spaces and Landscaping 

A central plaza on axis with the principal facade of Ruggles Station 
will be the focal point of the project. The boundaries of the plaza 
are set forth on the plaza plan attached as Exhibit C of the 
Development Plan. The plaza will be constructed by the developer for 
the benefit of the general public, subject to the receipt by the 
developer of a two million dollar grant from the City for the cost of 
designing and constructing the plaza. With a series of retail uses 
and building lobbies opening onto the plaza located in front of the 
Ruggles Station entrance, it is anticipated that the plaza will 
become a hub of pedestrian activity. 

COMMUNITY PROCESS 

The Parcel 18 and Kingston Bedford sites are available for 
development as the result of an extensive community participation 
process. 

In 1985 Mayor Raymond Flynn, Governor Michael Dukakis and the Parcel 
18 + Development Task Force signed an agreement to link the 
development of Parcel 18 to that of a major downtown site — the City 
owned Kingston Bedford garage. That agreement established the BRA as 
the agent for the State, the City, and the MBTA in order to carry out 
the project. 



MEMORANDUM June 29, 19 8 9 

PARCEL-TO- PARCEL LINKAGE I 

In June of 1987, the City and MBTA selected Columbia Plaza Associates 
(CPA) to serve as the minority partner for both the Parcel 18 and 
Kingston Bedford projects. Columbia Plaza Associates is a 
partnership of Asian American, Black, and Hispanic entrepreneurs. 
The partnership also includes community-based investors and 
organizations . 

Columbia Plaza, in turn, selected Metropolitan Structures as its 
partner from a field of three nationally prominent developers. The 
two entities then formed Metropolitan/Columbia Plaza Venture. CPA 
holds a fifty percent equity position in the project. 

The Parcel 18+ Development Task Force and the Chinatown/ South Cove 
Neighborhood Council have worked diligently with the BRA to develop 
the Parcel-to-Parcel Linkage Program and to advise the BRA on all 
aspects of these projects, including developer selection. 

The Roxbury and Chinatown groups are included in the Parcel-to-Parcel 
Linkage Advisory Panel. Also participating in the panel are: the 
BRA, the MBTA, the City of Boston Real Property and Public Facilities 
Departments, the Governor's Office of Economic Development, and the 
Mayor's Office of Jobs and Community Services. Metropolitan/Columbia 
Plaza Venture has worked closely with the Advisory Panel to shape the 
direction of the two projects and, in particular, to refine a 
benefits package for the communities. 

PUBLIC BENEFITS 

In keeping with the objectives of the Parcel-to-Parcel Linkage 
Project 1 and recent and proposed amendments to the Boston Zoning 
Code, Metropolitan/Columbia Plaza Venture has proposed an extensive 
public benefits package that includes programs to build affordable 
housing, fund job training programs, stimulate minority business 
opportunities, and provide child care facilities. 

KBJV and RCJV have been negotiating a Memorandum of Understanding 
with the Boston Redevelopment Authority, the Parcel 18 + Development 
Task Force, and the Chinatown / South Cove Neighborhood Council which 
describes in detail the public benefits. A copy is attached as Tab 8 
in the One Lincoln Street Book and Tab 9 for the Ruggles Center Book. 
A summary is included below.

PARCEL-TO-PARCEL LINKAGE I 

Community Development Fund 

A community development fund will be established through the Parcel- 
to-Parcel Linkage I Program. The developer will contribute to the 
fund: 10 percent of the developer's fee from both projects and a 
percentage of the net operating income and refinancing and resale 
proceeds from Parcel 18. In addition, the developer will capitalize 
the fund with at least two million dollars to be paid no later than 
the date of building permit for One Lincoln Street and with fixed 
annual payments of $800,000 for a period of 10 years. This ten 
million dollar payment will be contributed from the One Lincoln 
Street project. In addition, KBJV will provide five percent of net 
refinancing and sales proceeds for various public programs and 
projects. One million dollars of this contribution is earmarked for 
the community development fund. 

Monies from this fund can be used to support community development in 
various areas of special needs, such as venture capital for new 
businesses, expansion of existing establishments, physical 
improvements and beautif ication, and social services. It is 
estimated that ten to fifteen million dollars will be generated for 
this fund. 

Contributions to the fund from One Lincoln Street will be distributed 
so that one third of the money is earmarked for the benefit of 
Chinatown, one third for Roxbury, and one third to be allocated 
citywide through a competitive process. 

Housing Linkage 

The developer intends to make its Housing Linkage contribution by 
means of the Housing Creation Option. One Lincoln Street generates 
approximately $4,300,000 in housing linkage and the full development 
of Ruggles Center will generate approximately $4,3 00,000. The 
contributions from both projects total $8.6 million. It is currently 
anticipated that the total proceeds from both projects will be 
distributed equally to benefit the development of affordable housing 
units in Roxbury and Chinatown. 

With respect to One Lincoln Street, the developer will make an 
advance payment of one million dollars with the balance paid as a 
lump sum payment no later than ninety days after the Building Permit 
Date for the structure of the project. With respect to Ruggles 
Center, the developer will make its Linkage Payment as a lump sum 
payment, to be paid up front no later than the Building Permit Date 
for the structure of the project. 



MEMORANDUM June 29, 1989 

PARCEL-TO-PARCEL LINKAGE I 

Jobs Linkage 

One Lincoln Center will generate approximately $900,000 in jobs 
linkage and Ruggles Center will generate approximately $900,000. The 
Jobs Payment shall be designated in a manner to ensure that the 
contributions benefit the Chinatown and Roxbury communities equally. 

Child Care Facilities 

Kingston Bedford Joint Venture will provide, on-site or off -site, 
child care facilities in Chinatown for a total of 100 children. 
Ruggles Center Joint Venture will provide, on-site or off -site, child 
care facilities in Roxbury for a total of 100 children. The 
developers will work with the City and community groups to design 
appropriate child care programs. 

$400,000 Challenge Grant 

Kingston Bedford Joint Venture will make available $400,000 as a 
challenge grant, subject to being matched on a two-for-one basis by 
public or private sources, for developing minority capacity to obtain 
management level positions in the real estate industry. A portion of 
such funds shall be used to expand existing programs which provide 
practical education, training and certificates in a variety of real 
estate professions, such as property management, appraisal, brokerage 
and development. Even if matching funds are not found after a period 
of time, the developer will make its contribution to real estate 
training for minorities. 

Neighborhood Business Opportunities 

The developer will provide opportunities for neighborhood businesses 
that are interested in expanding their operations and to individuals 
entrepreneurs who are interested in starting new businesses. The 
development team has proposed several programs to help provide 
opportunities for neighborhood businesses and entrepreneurs. 

Construction Jobs 

Kingston Bedford Joint Venture and Ruggles Center Joint Venture shall 
each cause the general contractor for their respective projects, to 
the best of the contractor's ability, to grant preference in hiring 
Boston residents during the construction period. The developers have 
agreed to achieve the standard of fifty percent residents, thirty 
percent minorities and ten percent women for the work force on the 
construction of project. 



MEMORANDUM June 29, 19 8 9 

PARCEL-TO-PARCEL LINKAGE I 

Permanent Jobs 

Kingston Bedford Joint Venture and Ruggles Center Joint Venture will 
make good faith efforts to encourage tenants of the projects to hire 
Boston residents for new job openings, will become signatories to the 
Boston Compact, and will participate in the Private Industry 
Council's Stimmer Jobs Program, in addition to activities specified in 
the Memorandum of Understanding for Community Benefits. 

Technical Assistance & Outreach to MBE/WBE 

The developers will jointly hire a staff person who will coordinate 
community benefits and will have as one of his or her major 
responsibilities the outreach and liaison work required to attract 
MBEs and WBEs during the preconstruction phase and all other 
development phases of each project. The proponents will each spend 
time within the community encouraging and recruiting MBEs and WBEs to 
participate in the projects. 

MBE Retail 

Ruggles Center Joint Venture and Kingston Bedford Joint Venture have 
each set as a minimum goal the leasing of thirty (30%) percent of the 
total leasable square footage of all retail space in Ruggles Center 
and One Lincoln Street, respectively, to MBEs and will use best 
efforts to market such retail space to MBEs. To reach this goal the 
proponents each intend to work with local retail merchants and 
established merchant associations within geographic proximity to 
their respective projects to ensure that local merchants are aware of 
retail space opportunities and have the first opportunity to locate 
to Ruggles Center and One Lincoln Street. 

Incubator Space 

Ruggles Center Joint Venture will work with the Advisory Panel to 
develop a business incubator program in a phase of Ruggles Center to 
be designated by Ruggles Center Joint Venture. The goal of the 
business incubator program is to provide opportunities at relatively 
low costs for existing or start-up businesses to explore new ideas 
and business operations. The developer will provide financial 
assistance to the business incubator for space planning and build-out 
of the business incubator operations.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW REQUIREMENTS 

One Lincoln Street 

The project is subject to the Development Review Requirements of 
Article 31 of the Boston Zoning Code, including the submission of 
Environmental Impact Reports in accordance with State regulations. 
The Secretary of the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs issued 
a Certificate of Adequacy for the Draft Environmental Impact Report 
in May 1989. The developer intends to siobmit the Final Environmental 
Impact Report in August. 

Therefore, it is recommended that final approval be sxibject to the 
satisfactory mitigation of the project's impacts, as determined by 
the BRA through its Adequacy Determination. It is requested that the 
BRA Board authorize the Director to issue the Adequacy Determination 
upon completion of the review by the BRA of the Draft and Final 
Project Impact Reports. 



Ruggles Center 

The Project is siibject to Development Review Procedures of the BRA 
and the State's environmental review process. The Secretary of the 
Executive Office of Environmental Affairs issued a Certificate of 
Adequacy for the Draft Environmental Impact Report in May of 1989. 
The developer intends to submit the Final Environmental Impact Report 
in August. Therefore, it is recommended that final approval be 
subject to the satisfactory mitigation of the project's impacts, as 
determined by the BRA. 

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AREA / DEVELOPMENT IMPACT PROJECT REQUIREMENTS 

One Lincoln Street 

Kingston Bedford Joint Venture has requested several actions from the 
BRA Board necessary for the project to proceed. Because the 
developer is seeking a PDA zoning designation for the site, a 
Development Plan is required to be submitted and approved by the BRA 
Board. In addition. Article 26A of the Boston Zoning Code requires 
that the Board approve a Development Impact Project ("DIP") Plan 
which outlines the linkage obligation of the Kingston Bedford Joint 
Venture. These two documents, the Development Plan and DIP Plan, are 
combined into a single document and attached in Tab 5 to this 
memorandum for the Board ' s approval . 



MEMORANDUM June 29, 19 89 

PARCEL-TO-PARCEL LINKAGE I 

A Cooperation Agreement (in relation to the Development Plan) and DIP 
Agreement (in relation to the DIP Plan) are also appended in Tabs 7 
and 6 respectively. The developer requests that the BRA Board 
authorize the Director to enter into these agreements sxibstantially 
in the form appended, thereby making enforceable the provisions of 
the Development Plan and DIP Plan. 

Pursuant to Article 27D, new zoning regulations for the portion of 
the Downtown IPOD which includes the site, the South Station Economic 
Development Area, are pending approval by the City. Within the South 
Station Economic Development Area, the site is located in an area 
designated as the Parcel-to-Parcel Linkage Development Area. One 
Lincoln Street complies with the requirements applicable within the 
Parcel-to-Parcel Linkage Development Area, that proposed buildings be 
in substantial accord with maximum building height of 4 65 feet and a 
maximum FAR of 14.0. 

Ruggles Center 

Ruggles Bedford Joint Venture has requested several actions from the 
BRA Board necessary for the Project to proceed. Because the 
developer is seeking a PDA zoning designation for the site based upon 
a Master Plan, the plan must be submitted and approved by the BRA 
Board. In addition, because the Developer is seeking to proceed with 
Phase I of the Ruggles Center, a Development Plan for Phase I is 
required to be submitted and approved by the BRA Board. Further, 
Articles 2 6A and 2 6B of the Boston Zoning Code require that the Board 
approve a Development Impact Project (DIP) Plan which outlines the 
linkage obligation of the Ruggles Bedford Joint Venture. The Master 
Plan and DIP Plan are combined into a single document and attached in 
Tab 5 of this memorandum for the Board's approval. The Development 
Plan for Phase I is also attached in Tab 6 of this memorandum for the 
Board's approval. 

A Cooperation Agreement (in relation to the Development Plan) and DIP 
agreement (in relation to the DIP Plan) are also appended in Tabs 8 
and 7 respectively. The developer requests that the BRA Board 
authorize the Director to enter into these agreements substantially 
in the form appended, thereby making enforceable the provisions of 
the Development Plan and DIP Plan. 

SALE & CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT (One Lincoln Street) 

One Lincoln Street will be constructed in part on land owned by the 
City, including the Kingston Bedford garage site, the Lincoln Essex 
lot, and portions of Columbia Street. The total area of the City 
owned land is 50,172 square feet. To govern the transfer of land to 
KBJV, it is necessary for the City, KBJV, and the BRA to enter into a 

10 



MEMORANDUM June 29, 19 8 9 

PARCEL-TO-PARCEL LINKAGE I 

Sale and Construction Agreement. The property was subject to two 
appraisals which valued the land at $13.6 million dollars and $14 
million dollars. In accordance with the Agreement, KBJV will pay $15 
million dollars for the City - owned land. In addition, the Sale and 
Construction Agreement will include provisions whereby KBJV will pay 
over time as a percent of profits one million dollars to the City's 
Neighborhood Parking Fund, $700,000 for land acquisitions to widen 
Essex Street and an additional one million dollars to the Community 
Development Fund. If Essex Street is widened, the developer will 
also commit, through the Sale and Construction Agreement, to 
construct a park in place of 88 Kingston Street, and to provide a 
portion of the land needed for the widening. 

CONVEYANCE & CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT (Ruggles Center) 

Ruggles Center will be constructed on land owned by the MBTA which 
will be transferred to the BRA for ten dollars per square foot for 
sale or lease to RCJV. A Conveyance and Construction Agreement, to 
be executed amongst the developer, the MBTA and the BRA, and the 
Development Agreement which was executed amongst MCPV, the MBTA, and 
the BRA, defines the terms of the transfers. 

URBAN RENEWAL MODIFICATIONS 

Ruggles Center 

The proposed development of Ruggles Center necessitates minor 
modifications to the Campus High Urban Renewal Plan and the South End 
Urban Renewal Plan. These actions are described in greater detail 
below. In the opinion of the General Counsel, such proposed 
modifications are minor and do not svibstantially or materially alter 
these Plans. 

Campus High Urban Renewal Plan 

Implementation of the project will require minor modifications of the 
Land Use Plan for the Campus High School Urban Renewal Area. The 
Parcel 18 Site is located within the Campus High Urban Renewal Area. 
At the time of adoption, the Parcel 18 Urban Renewal Area was 
designated for open space and the construction of the Southwest 
Expressway. Since the Authority no longer intends to utilize this 
area for these uses, the Land Use Map should be amended to allow the 
property to be used for mixed use: general office and general 
business.

MEMORANDUM June 

PARCEL-TO-PARCEL LINKAGE I 



South End Urban Renewal Plan 

Implementation of the project will require minor modifica 
South End Urban Renewal Plan. A portion of the Parcel 18 
Renewal Area is designated as Reuse Parcel No.X13 on the ma 
"Map 3, Reuse Parcels, South End Urban Renewal Area, R-56" c 
1965 incorporated in the South End Urban Renewal Plan. 

Since the Authority no longer intends to utilize this area for 
uses, the Land Use Map should be amended to allow the property 
used for mixed use: general office and general business. Furthe. 
the development of the Parcel 18 Site will remain subject to 
development review by the Authority. The reuse Parcel Map should 
amended to remove such portion of the Parcel 18 Urban Renewal Area 
from Reuse Parcel No. X13. 



CONCLUSION 

Attached in Tab 4 of this memorandum are Resolutions of the Boston 
Redevelopment Authority regarding the applications of KBJV and RCJV 
for planed development area and development project approval for One 
Lincoln and Ruggles Center respectively. This document incorporates 
the extensive public and BRA review process and presents findings 
which conclude that the proposed PDA designation and plans and DIP 
Plans for the Projects satisfy the Code and that the Development Plan 
and DIP Plan for One Lincoln Street and the Master Plan/DIP Plan and 
the Development Plan for Ruggles Center "conform to the general plan 
for the city as a whole"; and are not "injurious to the neighborhood 
or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare"; and otherwise 
satisfy the applicable requirements of the Code. Also attached are 
resolutions regarding the minor modifications to the Campus High 
School Urban Renewal Plan and the South End Urban Renewal Plan.
