The historic Gulesian warehouse on Brookline Street in Cambridge, MA, has been identified for a low- and moderate-income housing development aimed at preserving socioeconomic diversity within the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of Cambridgeport, MA. A highly mixed-use community with numerous amenities and in close proximity to multiple modes of mass transit, this site is prime for redevelopment. In a high-cost neighborhood like this, affordable housing is vital to preserve social and cultural vibrancy. Given recent economic conditions, including elevated rates of unemployment, moderate- and low-income residents are particularly vulnerable to displacement. Gulesian Warehouse aims to stabilize this group’s footing in Cambridgeport through the provision of 60 affordable units spread across two buildings on a site with a shared courtyard and parking at grade. At 55,020 square feet, 130 Brookline Street features 50 rental units at 60% AMI, leasing from $1,027/month for a studio to $1,526/month for a 3-bedroom apartment. Two-bedroom units make up 50% of the mix, leasing for $1,321/month. 17 Tudor Street is 15,600 square feet and includes 10 2-bedroom, for-sale units at 80% AMI ($197,000) and 6 at market rate ($500,000). Both buildings are affordable in perpetuity, providing a long-term place in Cambridgport for low- and moderate-income families.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1


Built in the early 1920s, the Gulesian building at 130 Brookline Street has been home to various tenants. From the beginning, the warehouse was used largely by businesses in the automobile industry, such as repair shops and later car dealerships. Now, the building has been vacant for a little more than a decade. Despite its disuse, the structure and its architectural detail remain as a reminder of the history of this former industrial area.

intro duc tio n

The Cambridgeport neighborhood, particularly along the southeastern edge, has experienced significant development in recent years. University Park, a mixed-use project dating back to the 1980s, is comprised of office and laboratory buildings, several biotechnology companies, residential developments, retail areas, and parks and open space.

Proximity to mass transit is one of the key assets of this site. It is located within one-half mile of the Central Square Red Line T Station. It is also served by multiple MBTA buses, including the #47 Bus, which stops at the intersection of Brookline Street and Tudor Street, the northwest corner of the site. Less than a mile away are four bridges over the Charles River, as well as access points to Interstate 90.

contex t

At the site level, Gulesian Warehouse is located between two zones: To the northeast is dense residential fabric consisting of multi- and singlefamily homes, and to the south is University Park. Within this context, the site is poised to serve as a transitional piece or seam stitching these two sides of the neighborhood together.

intro duc tio n

Gulesian Warehouse is situated within the neighborhood of Cambridgeport, MA, an area particularly rich in various amenities. Small businesses are scattered throughout Cambridgeport and a major commercial corridor runs along Massachusetts Avenue and continues through Central Square, where the Red Line and multiple bus lines make stops. In addition to shopping, the area is home to several office buildings and research and development facilities. There is also a multitude of religious institutions, parks and other public spaces, and several art galleries in the neighborhood. The nearest public school is Morse Elementary School, and the Community Charter School Of Cambridge and Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School are also nearby. Cambridgeport is situated between MIT and Harvard University, and just across the river from Boston University.

Residents trend younger, with the largest representation consisting of the 18- to 24-yearold age group (20%), followed by 25-29 (17%) and 30-34 (12%). Children, the middle-aged, and the elderly are under-represented. The city is largely made up of family households (17,414), which are fairly evenly split between ownership and rental (8.817 and 8,597 respectively).

MARKET CONTEXT MONTHLY RENTS AFFORDED BY AMI

Cambridge has been undergoing gentrification and the cost of housing has been rising at a rate disproportionate to area median incomes, as illustrated by the Cambridge Community Development Department’s 2010 Housing Profile. Median prices to rent and buy a range of housing types exceed the levels that are affordable to residents at the area median income.

Built in the 1920s, the abandoned warehouse at 130 Brookline Street is a two-story concrete frame, 46,000-square-foot industrial structure. It, as well as an adjacent vacant building at 17 Tudor Street, are in stable condition and prime for restoration. Unlike other parts of Cambridgeport closer to the river, this site is not landfill. However, the site’s proximity to former tidal basins makes belowgrade parking cost prohibitive. It is predominantly flat, and there are no unusual natural constraints. Open space is currently paved over. Surrounding buildings do not cast any shadows on the site due to their low building heights of 2-3 stories.

intro duc tio n

To the northeast of the site is Pacific Street Park, well used by children and adults alike, as well as a dog park. Neighbors include multi-family homes, apartment complexes, an auto body shop, the Sienna Construction Company, and an out-ofbusiness record store.

contex t

The site has excellent visibility and frontage on Brookline Street, a primary connector leading from Boston to Central Square in Cambridge. It is a well-trafficked, one-way, multi-modal corridor, with sidewalks on both sides and a dedicated bike lane. Pedestrian and vehicular access to the site is also possible from Tudor Street, Emily Street, and a rear alley that connects the two.

These special districts seem aimed at defining the transitional area between the typical Cambridge multifamily dwellings to the northeast and the highrise buildings of University Park to the southwest. Affordable housing is both an appropriate use and density for this in-between space, softening the physical edge between the Residence C zone and the adjacent mixed uses, as well as increasing the number of users for the many nearby businesses and open spaces. Because this is a reuse of existing buildings, we anticipate the need to apply for special permits with regard to building height, number of dwelling units, FAR, lot area to dwelling unit ratio, and parking requirements. •

Both structures on site are currently two stories tall and approximately 25-30 feet in height. The zone limits building height to 35 feet, so a special permit is required for the additional third floor we plan to add to 130 Brookline Street.

The zone limits any project to 12 or more dwelling units as of right. This development therefore requires a special permit to offer the 66 units that comfortably fit within the existing

The zone allows for an FAR of .75. A proposed FAR of 1.45 exceeds this level. Given the encouragement of affordable housing in this zone, it is unlikely that this use could achieve such a low FAR on this site. The zone requires a minimum lot area of 1,500 square feet per dwelling unit. In accordance with the increased density this project envisions, the proposal calls for a 740-square-foot lot area per dwelling unit, slightly less than half the requirement. The zone requires 1 parking space per dwelling unit. Given the limited space available on site for at-grade parking, and the high cost of below-grade parking structures in this area, we require a special permit allowing a reduction to .7 spaces per dwelling unit.

We are confident that these special permits can be obtained based on the fact that the development is consistent with the City’s goals for Residence C and Special Districts 9 and 10, including: • • •

To encourage housing along Brookline Street To tie the existing nonresidential district to the existing residential neighborhood To promote strong visual and pedestrian connections between the residential neighborhood and the MIT campus and the Charles River

Additionally, the proposed project exceeds the open space zoning requirement that at least 30% of the lot be used for this purpose. Despite the current building footprints and configuration, the proposal calls for open space amounting to 32% of the site. This includes open space at grade, a green roof, and a flexible parking space that can be closed to cars during certain hours or for events. Not only does this surpass minimum standards, it’s especially generous when compared to the existing condition’s 0% open space.

contex t

There is little distinction between Special Districts 9 and 10. While balancing the overall goal of low density, they both aim to promote significant housing development that becomes integrated within the existing Cambridgeport neighborhood physically, architecturally, and socially. Additionally, they strive to address the need for affordable units for low- and moderateincome households, in particular, as well as those with children, by providing significant incentives in accordance with Chapter 40A, Section 9 of General Laws.

intro duc tio n

The reuse of Gulesian warehouse and its neighbor at 17 Tudor Street as affordable housing fulfills the goals of the existing zoning, but does not meet many of its requirements. The site is located in the Residence C zone and straddles two Special District overlays (9 and 10).

Total LIHTC Equity

contex t

130 Brookline will require a construction loan of $4,509,410 at 6% interest. All interest will be paid at the funding of our permanent loan. Based on a projected NOI of $329,294 and a debt service coverage ratio of 1.15, we expect to secure a loan in the amount of $4,709,410 with a 4.5% interest rate and 30-year amortization. With 100% of the units renting at 60% AMI, we are using 9% LIHTC tax credits to fund the bulk of our equity gap. We expect to receive $9,999,000, the maximum allowable amount, through syndication of the 9% tax credits. This is based on an assumption of an equity-to-credit ratio of $1.00. The remaining funding gap of $2,300,760 will be covered by soft debt. 130 Brookline is eligible for subsidies from State and local AHT. We will pursue the maximum allowable subsidy, $1 million, from State AHT, and the remaining $1,300,760 from Cambridge AHT, which does not have a per project cap.

Unit Type

$9,999,000

17 TUDOR The funding sources for the market rate and subsidized for sale units of 17 Tudor have been separated out (see Development Pro Forma on following page). The affordable portion of the project requires a $1,773,900 construction loan. With sales projected at $1,971,000, there is a remaining gap of $1,898,625, which we plan to close using soft debt. With over 60% of the units allocated for 80% AMI households, 17 Tudor is eligible for State HOME as well as State AHT. The gap can be closed with $500,000 from State HOME (matched dollar for dollar by Cambridge HOME), and $197,008 from State AHT (also matched in full by Cambridge AHT). The market rate portion of 17 Tudor requires a $1.5 million construction loan. With projected sales of $3 million, these units should generate a surplus of over $750,000.

APPENDIX December 9, 2012 Dear Sir or Madam: This booklet outlines the project documentation for Gulesian Warehouse, a two-building, mixedincome residential project that includes both for sale and rental units. The project site is located in the Cambridgeport neighborhood of Cambridge, MA. The two buildings are both existing warehouses and require extensive rehabilitation. 17 Tudor is a two-story structure that will consist of 16 for sale 2-bedroom condominiums, 10 of which will be set aside for moderate income households earning at or below 80% AMI. The remaining 10 units will be sold at market rate. To subsidize the development of the affordable for sale units in 17 Tudor, we request the following sources of financing: • • • •

$500,000 from Massachusetts HOME $500,000 in matching HOME funds from the City of Cambridge $197,008 from Massachusetts Affordable Housing Trust $197,008 in matching Affordable Housing Trust funds from the City of Cambridge

130 Brookline will consist of three floors with 50 total apartments for rent, including studios, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units. All of the units will be rented to low-income households earning at or below 60% AMI. In addition to acquiring equity through the syndication of LIHTC, we request the following sources of financing: • •

$1,000,000 from Massachusetts Affordable Housing Trust $1,300,760 from Cambridge Affordable Housing Trust

Cambridge has been undergoing gentrification and the cost of housing has been rising at a rate disproportionate to area median incomes. We believe that Gulesian Warehouse will have a positive impact on the community by providing 60 subsidized housing units to families that would otherwise likely be forced to move elsewhere. Thank you for your consideration, Sincerely,

Cambridgeport Development Partners LLC

Exhibit 15C: Certification as to Period of Project Affordability We, Kari Milchman and Jared Press, as Co-Executive Directors of the Cambridgeport Development Partners LLC do hereby certify that the Gulesian Warehouse shall remain affordable for the period of time indicated below. We understand that the length of this commitment affects the scoring of the application of the above-referenced project in that a longer period of affordability will result in a higher number of points. We further understand that the period of time of affordability committed to will be incorporated into the Tax Credit Regulatory Agreement for the project which is a binding agreement between the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, acting through the Department of Housing and Community Development and its successors and assigns, and the Developer. The period of affordability committed to for the above-referenced projects is as follows (please initial the appropriate blank): ______ ______ ______ ______

Thirty (30) years Forty (40) years Fifty (50) years In perpetuity
