Case study delivery: Fort Point District 1 aprile 2012 Jusy Calabrò- RC unit Pagina 1 Fort Point District – 100 Acres SYNOPSIS Fort Point district historically is a light-industry related area along the Fort Point Channel in South Boston. It is characterized by a strategic position within the city geography: along the Fort Point Channel, on the Boston waterfront, nearby Downtown, the center of businesses, next to the Logan airport and South Station, and least but not last within the Boston Innovation District, a big Economic Development Area attracting enterprises and economies from all the Massachusetts. This area has known different kind of development during its history, but the architectural and historical importance of the area remained the same, preserved under the Fort Point Channel Landmark District. Even though the South Boston Manufacturing Center, with trade trucks still active, and the USPS parking lot give it a strong business aspect, the delimitation with 19 th century yellow and red brick buildings, most of them renewed, is an example of architectural heritage to be preserved. Otherwise, the important number of artist associations within the area have influenced the cultural life and the economic activities of the place, most of them art-related, and the planning processes as well. The 100 Acres Master Plan within Fort Point South, indeed, is the resulting of a common effort among public authorities, agencies, neighborhood representatives, owners and associations of the area, that contributed to give rise a participatory urban process. The BRA, Boston’s Planning and Economic Development Agency, involved community and stakeholders to draw up a plan for growth and development within the 100 Acres, a Planned Development Area, taking into account the preexistent facilities and infrastructures capacity, in order to encourage a lively urban district. Moreover, according to the Boston Zoning code, a PDA must provide for public benefits, and the pre-condition to have it approved is an agreement among proponents at the beginning of the planning process. In this particular case the major Public Benefit is the Public Realm Enhancement in the area, through open spaces and roads enhancement. As result the key component of this Master Plan is a Memorandum of Agreement between the major private land owners, the proponents, and the City on its implementation. The site’s ownership, about 90%, is concentrated among several large landowners: the P&G/Gillette Company, the USPS, the largest ones, Archon Group(W2005) and Beacon Capital Partners Inc and Melcher owner. Therefore, all owners agreed reaching a compromise, accepting some condition coming from two important actors within the negotiation process: the Gillette Company agreed under the condition of improving its trucks accessibility in the area and building up the square feet of the company; the USPS agreed to sell the area within 100 acres to the city for the Public Realm Enhancement in order to relocate its facilities into an adjacent one with higher property values; all the others accepted in order to improve their properties values. At the end, the B.R.A. approved the Fort Point District 100 Acres Master Plan in 2006. Moreover, the B.R.A., embedding the public sector within the partnership, is the coordinator of the agreement and the manager of a Sinking Fund, in which private actors are expected to put money into in advance for any project. All infrastructure and public realm improvements will be phased and executed as part of the planned new private development, since the public role is just managerial and regulatory and all the development process of 100 acres area is marked led.
