A VISION FOR THE UNION SQUARE GATEWAY FALL 2013 / SOMERVILLE, MA, US
Sitting just north of Boston, the Union Square Gateway neighborhood of the City of Somerville, once the city’s most vibrant commercial district, is currently dominated by asphalt parking lots, Big Box stores, storage warehouses, auto-dependent uses and businesses. The City seeks to transform the area through a comprehensive redevelopment over 20 years, and the upcoming MBTA Green Line extension provides an opportunity to shape the future development around the transit-oriented principals. This visionary plan offers a proactive strategy for future land use, economic development, and neighborhood revitalization that can meet the needs of the neighborhood and benefit Somerville and the region at large. This plan projects 2,700,000 SF of new development in the 47acre area, including 1,890,000 SF commercial space and 700 housing units. This
project
emerged
from
the
Community
Growth and Land Use Planning workshop at MIT, taught by Terry Szold and Susan Silberberg. The client was the City of Somerville. I was responsible for the existing land use and building typology analysis, and the proposed development capacity analysis. I also collaborated with other team members on conceptual neighborhood plan and phasing graphics.

The 12-acre site is located in assessor block No.100 in Cambridgeport, Cambridge, MA. The neighborhood is bounded by Riverside to the North, MIT to the east, and the Charles River to the south and the west. The site is separated from the waterfront recreation space to the south by Memorial Drive, a state highway with high traffic volume, and separated from the fine-grained residential neighborhood to the north by a retaining wall with several informal footpath entries.

REAL ESTATE REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL HISTORIC BUILDING COMMERCIAL-TO-RESIDENTIAL CONVERSION PLAN SPRING 2016 / MAINE, US
This renovation and adaptive reuse proposal looks at a 10-story historic building in a major city in Maine. The building, built in 1908, possesses exceptional architectural quality and offers spectacular views of the city as well as water views of the harbor. With a gross area of 74,688 square feet, the building

has 6,500 square feet office leasable space on each

floor, and a 3,400 square feet mezzanine. Despite its prime location and prominent architectural qual-

ities, the building is currently about 50% vacant.

High vacancy dragged the value of the building down below comparable buildings in the area, and opened up opportunities to convert the building into other uses that have greater market potentials.

The proposal is based on analyses of four groups

Four comparable projects within and adjacent to the city’s downtown area were selected as references for the projected rent levels in the proposed development plan. For projects that have more than 12 units of each unit type, only the 12 units that have the highest gross rents were selected. Rent levels are from January 2016 and have been adjusted for utility and parking costs. Three of the comparable projects are indexed on this map; the indentity of the fourth project (referred to as “Project A”) is privileged information and therefore is undisclosed. The following charts show the Gross rent, Rent/Sq.Ft., and Size of the one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and studio units of the comparable projects, in comparison with the proposed units.

oped in the early 1980s on 183,354 SF site previously used as MBTA train yard. Located adjacent to Harvard Kennedy School of Government and J.F.K. Park, and within 0.25 mile from Har vard Square, it provides luxury condo units, hotel, retail, office space, and underground parking. Despite the success of the condos and hotel, the office and retail space fell short of the developer’s expectations. This

REGIONAL AND LOCAL REAL ESTATE MARKET ANALYSIS
DATA-INFORMED REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
WINTER 2015 / CONNECTICUT & MASSACHUSETTS
IDENTIFICATION
REGIONAL REAL ESTATE MARKET MULTIFAMILY HOUSING SURROUNDING RAIL STATIONS
This regional real estate market study aims to identify potential opportunities for a particular housing development prototype. The multi-family projects that are used as examples in the following charts are all located within a 3-mile radius from seven Amtrak stations along the New Haven Line of the Metro-North Railroad. Within the radius of each station we collected information on gross rent, rent/square feet, unit size, property location, housing type (one-bedroom or two-bedroom) that were offered for rent on the Zillow website between July 22 and July 27, 2015. Then for each station we selected 2-4 properties whose unit sizes, locations, housing types, and accompanied amenities are comparable to the prototype development that is proposed. A few of the example units were identified as condominium units, but most were not. It is assumed that rent levels for condominium rents are comparable to rent levels for multi-family apartment units, and therefore are appropriate for comparison with the prototype project.

This local real estate market study aims to analyze the feasibility of implementing a housing development prototype in a city in the southern part of the Greater Boston area of Massachusetts. The multi-family projects included the following charts are all located within the downtown area, and have unit sizes, locations, housing types, and accompanied amenities that are comparable to the prototype units. All rents have been adjusted for utility and parking costs.

TYPICAL SCENARIO 1 Least-cost-neighbor search strategy failed • Two wild boars competed for one food source which existed in urban built area; • One wild boar, taking the least-cost-neighbor route, was able to navigate urban landscape and reach the food; • After eating the food, both wild boars started to search for new food source using semi-randomwalk, which is a much lower efficient route-finding rule.
TYPICAL SCENARIO 2 Least-cost-neighbor search strategy succeed • Two wild boars competed for one food source which existed in urban built area; • Both of them were blocked by “building“, a land use type which was charactered as unable for a wild boar to pass through; • Least-cost-neighbor route failed to give a wild boar access to food source in the built areas, more sophisticated route-finding rule is needed.

Key findings of the demand of energy efficiency management services include: • There are extensive opportunities to improve the quality of energy management in all building types. • Smaller buildings, very roughly those under 50,000 square feet, have especially limited energy management capacity. • A comprehensive suite of energy programs are available in Bellevue, and higher levels of participation are warranted. • There is widespread industry support for Bellevue serving as educator and promoter of energy efficiency. • A variety of innovative financing products are emerging in the region, which require support in early deployment. • A broader array of energy training opportunities exist for different occupations in the energy management sector, which require greater industry connections and support for student participation.
