In developing the design and program for the site we consulted the Reading Town Master Plan (2005), the Housing Production Plan (2013), and the recently completed Town of Reading Economic Development Action Plan. The Town already has many strengths, but as you will read in the application, this project, with its mix of affordable and market rate housing over retail will help the town achieve many consistently stated goals in these reports. In addition, we have brought together a development team that has the reputation,track record, and skills to finance, build, and operate the project successfully. On behalf of the entire development team, we are excited to be submitting this proposal, appreciate the guidance you and Andrew have provided to date, and look forward to working together with the Town to advance this important project.

The project may proceed to permitting. The Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for this project was reviewed in Fall, 2018, at which time the development program was 67 percent residential, 20 percent office and 13 percent hotel and retail. Significant concerns were raised by the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) and South Boston residents and elected officials about the scale of the proposed development, in particular the amount of residential use, and the project’s incompatibility with both industrial uses to the north and east and the residential areas of South Boston. As detailed below, the FEIR described a Preferred Alternative and an All-Commercial Alternative that were intended to respond to these concerns by reducing the amount of residential use to 36 percent in the Preferred Alternative and eliminating residential use entirely in the All-Commercial Use Alternative.
