From YouTube: Clippership Wharf Ribbon Cutting
Description
Mayor Walsh joined with elected officials and residents of East Boston for the ribbon cutting at Clippership Wharf. This complex will provide added housing and jobs for the East Boston community, along with added green space and features such as flood barriers to aid the city in climate resilience.
A
A
I
have
heard
her
sing
before
she's
so
accomplished,
she's
been
with
zoomx
for
three
years:
she's
gonna,
be
there,
hopefully
for
another
three
years
so
dedicated
to
her
craft
and
what
a
great
history
she
has
already
having
some
with
Roger
Waters
from
Pink
Floyd
and
at
the
garden
and
many
many
other
accomplishments
so
so
pleased
to
have
her
here
and
sue
makes
is
a
special
relationship
for
us.
It's
one
of
our
community
partners.
A
We
support
their
events,
we
we
really
have
contributed
to
their
livelihood
and
they
two
are
so
great
to
have
been
here
and
Madeline
since
QC
or
representative
mixer
they're,
one
of
our
foundation
partners
and
we're
proud
to
have
them
so
well.
This
day
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
We
have
a
saying
at
clipper
ship
Wharf,
if
you,
if
you
want
to
have
a
nice
day,
just
schedule
an
event,
because
every
time
we
ever
schedule
event,
it
is
a
perfect
day.
So
this
is
fits
right
in
line
and
for
those
of
you
and.
B
A
A
lot
of
friendly
faces
here
remember
clipper
ship
as
a
project,
and
it
just
this
project
has
lain
fallow
for
30
years.
The
first
developer,
who
took
a
run
at
cover
ship
Wharf,
was
1986
and
through
various
real-estate
cycles
and
economic
circumstances,
the
project's
just
never
got
on
the
ground.
So
we're
really
really
pleased
to
be
here
today.
A
It's
great
to
have
a
distinguished
list
of
guests
here
to
speak.
Today
we
have
Joe
Bob
Corey
state,
senator
Lydia,
Edwards
city
councilor,
Laura
angler
from
cesium
agent,
Monroe
state
rep,
of
course,
mayor
Walsh,
Jason
alderman
from
lend-lease
and
Cathie
Abbott
from
Boston
Harbor
now
and
so
I
will
try
and
get
out
of
the
way
as
quickly
as
I
can.
But
I
do
want
to
give
some
introductory
remarks,
and
also
you
hear
construction
going
on
next
door.
A
A
So
these
these
industrial,
post-industrial
water
fronts
are
agreed
and
we
through
the
hole
on
site
through
the
working
around
the
tides,
the
soils
dilapidated
piles.
You
know
just
everything
the
kitchen
sink
and
you
have
to
come
through
that
and
deliver
this
for
the
community.
Is
it's
really
a
freshman
pleasure
to
preside
over
and
couldn't
be
happier
so
just
a
few
stats
before
we
get
into
the
good
part
of
the
program?
And
here
our
speakers
clipper
ship
Wharf
is
the
first
project
that
Lundy's
has
done
at
the
Americans.
We
are
developers
all
over
the
world.
A
We're
a
construction
company
have
been
for
60
years.
We
develop
in
Asia
the
UK
Europe
Australia
is
where
we're
headquartered,
but
that
the
Americas
is
relatively
new
to
us.
Even
though
lend-lease
has
built
a
lot
of
the
buildings,
they
can
recognize
in
downtown
Boston.
We
started
our
development
five
years
ago,
almost
to
the
day
and
so
to
deliver
this
five
years.
Hence
it's
very
special
for
us
and
for
our
business,
and
we
absolutely
want
to
do
more
in
Boston,
so
the
site
itself.
A
We
inherited
about
1700
linear
feet
of
Harborwalk,
dilapidated
piles
structures
crumbling
into
the
ocean,
so
that
was
that's
a
challenge
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
think
it
was
so
hard
for
this
site
to
get
done.
Lend-Lease,
you
know,
has
a
special
relationship
to
projects
like
this.
We
do
them
all
over
the
world.
What's
a
daunting
for
us,
even
though
there
were
plenty
of
challenges
with
the
project,
but
you
know
it
was.
It
was
something
that
felt
familiar
to
us
to
our
business.
A
That
this
site
possesses
you
know
my
team
that
I
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
out
here
over
the
last.
You
know
five
years
and
now
it's
hard
to
get
people
back
into
the
office,
because
everyone
wants
to
be
here
and
so
just
a
couple
of
stories.
You
know
I'm
not
gonna
lie.
This
has
been
a
it's
been
hard
getting
here
and
permitting,
and
developing
in
Boston
is
difficult,
as
as
everybody
knows,
but
we,
you
know,
we
took
some
lumps
in
the
early
permitting
process
and
there
were
two
moments
that
really
stuck
out
to
me.
A
The
first
one
was
when
we
were
in
BC
DC,
and
one
of
the
comments
was,
you
know
the
site.
Has
you
know
laying
fallow
for
thirty
years?
Is
this
really
what
we've
been
waiting
for?
And
it
was
an
interesting
comment
because
I
think
partly
it
represented
the
fact
that
this
was
really
hard
to
describe
the
aspirations
that
Lennox
had
for
this
site
and
I,
don't
know
that
it
really
came
through
in
the
early
renderings
and
the
early
descriptions,
but
the
aspirations
were,
you
know
we're
true
and
I
would
say
unequivocally.
A
Yes,
this
is
what
or
so
that
that
was
a
moment
that
it
stuck
with
me
through
the
entire
process
have
been
kind
of
a
guide
for
me
to
make
sure
we
delivered
what
we're
actually
waiting
for
the
other
was.
It
was
a
moment
at
the
Jeffrey's
point,
Neighborhood
Association,
and
it
was
one
of
those
community
meetings
that
developers
know
well.
We
were
last
on
the
agenda,
so
bone-eating
everyone
was
hangry
by
the
end,
and
you
know
things
didn't
go
well
for
the
previous
presenters,
and
so
we
stepped
up
and
presented
our
project.
A
We
were
very
proud
of
the
designs
and
what
they
come
up
with
and
there
was
a
there
was.
You
know,
general
acceptance
of
the
project,
which
was
great
and
a
woman
stood
up
and
said
no
I
really
appreciate
what
you've
done
and
especially
with
the
public
realm.
It's
like
you're,
creating
a
ribbon
Park,
that's
going
to
connect
the
waterfront
and
I
was
like
I,
couldn't
set
it
any
better
myself
and
then
she
said
I
liked
it
so
much.
You
should
make
the
whole
site
a
park
and
the
whole
room
erupted
standing
ovations.
A
A
It's
on
the
lock
spaces
like
this.
We,
you
know
the
real
estate
101.
Is
you
don't
pay
for
any
of
this
unless
the
economic
circumstances
allow
it
and
housing
has
been
such
an
important
part
of
this
current
move
and
housing
is
what
gets
to
deliver
this,
not
just
the
market
rate
housing,
but
the
affordable
housing
solution
next
door
that
will
about
today.
A
If
we
get
them
here,
they
want
to
stay
and
that's
a
real
power
to
what
you
see
behind
us.
It's
a
power
to
the
economics
of
Boston
to
transit,
to
all
the
things
that
make
this
site
great
and
this
particular
boom
I,
don't
think,
we've
seen
anything
like
it
since
the
Back
Bay
it
was
built
in
and
obviously
different
time
different
circumstances,
different
scalability,
but
it
really
has
been
an
incredible
transformation
for
our
city.
We
have
the
mayor
to
thank
in
large
part
for
that
and
I'd
like
to
welcome
to
welcome
to
say
it.
I.
C
Want
to
thank
Nikolas
and
Jason
and
everyone
else,
families
did
great
work
here.
This
is
a
beautiful,
beautiful
place.
I
want
to
also
just
give
a
shout
out
to
our
elected
officials
to
send
the
ball.
Cory
representative
myhra
Roe
Counsel
Edwards
for
their
advocacy,
these
Boston
community-
that's
here
today.
Thank
you.
These
Boston
community
for
being
daro
and
working
with
us
and
as
we
move
forward
here,
I
want
to
give
a
shout-out
to
the
Boston
planning
and
elfin
agency
I
prefer
to
think
about
our
permit
process,
not
as
difficult
for
this
thorough
and
transparent.
D
C
And
truly
who
I
think
Nikolas
is
talking
about
the
process
in
Boston
and
what
I've
gone
through
in
the
last
few
years,
we
really
have
gone
through
incredible
growth
and
the
elected
officials
can
speak
to
this.
There's
a
lot
of
strains
on
our
neighborhoods
and
we
are
gonna,
have
a
process
to
make
sure
that
I
nabel's
are
heard,
and
then
we
listen
to
our
communities
and
oftentimes.
You
know
a
lot
of
criticism
goes
around,
but
it
really
is
making
sure
that
we
connect
people
to
a
project
here
on
site.
C
As
you
walk
around
here
today,
you'll
see
some
amazing
connections
back
to
the
ocean.
If
you
walk
down
the
street
a
little
bit
further
down
you're
looking
at
50
plus
49
of
the
units
of
affordable
housing
that
have
the
same
exact
views
as
the
people
in
this
building
here,
and
it
really
is
important
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
move
our
process
forward
today.
We're
celebrating
400
new
homes
for
individuals
and
families
and
he's
Barkston.
This
project
brings
housing
in
this
community
and
housing
to
our
city.
C
We
we
inherited
a
few
years
ago
who
accident
inherently
was
creating
a
housing
shortage.
We
were
seeing
people
being
pushed
out
of
the
city,
we're
seeing
people
coming
in
and
buying
one
into
a
family,
pushing
families
out,
and
we
can
put
a
housing
goal
out
there
to
create
sixty
nine
thousand
units
of
new
housing
money
in
2030.
This
helps
us
towards
how's
it
going.
The
bishop
also
sets
up
understand
is
how
to
create
a
high
quality,
sustainable
development
along
our
waterfront
and
we've.
C
C
Was
seamless
access
to
our
parks
was
seeing
has
been
about
public
spaces
for
years,
East
Boston
has
been
shorter
over
space.
Now
it
has
I
would
say,
probably
the
best
open
space
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
many
more
people
are
coming
to
this
neighborhood.
The
people
live
in
the
state
border,
actually
golfs,
VP
and
reconnected
back
to
the
waterfront.
We
want
to
make
sure
the
city,
as
we
weren't
collectively
as
elected
officials,
that
our
growth
is
smart
and
responsible.
We
all
know
so
well.
C
The
rising
sea
levels
is
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
that
we
face
in
the
city.
As
you
just
look
over
my
shoulder
and
you
see
our
waterfront
surrounded
by
houses
and
buildings
and
businesses
and
people
we
saw
flooding
happen
at
the
tea
stations
and
on
our
streets
just
as
patchy
in
East.
Boston
is
especially
vulnerable
here
on
the
waterfront.
That's
why
the
babies
Boston
to
focus
on
our
first
neighborhood
climate
grading
plan.
We
completed
the
boy
able
seawall
in
East,
Boston
green
wind.
C
It
can
be
raised
to
block
the
macho
Street
flood
town
in
case
of
a
storm
surge
walks
are
working
with
Massport
you're
elected
our
elected
officials
in
these
parts
and
community
on
Phase,
two
or
because
Park
to
double
the
amount
of
green
space
and
ten
acres
and
elevating
is
protection.
This
work
is
proud
about
watch
our
vision
to
protect
the
entire
length
of
our
small
item
is
a
in
Boston
Harbor.
It
calls
for
a
system
of
parks,
open
space
trails,
all
elevated
to
block
on
flooding
and
unlock
opportunity
and
bring
people
back
to
the
water.
C
Just
like
this
projects
to
again
we're
developing
the
input
solutions
to
coastal
flooding
and
that's
exactly
what
clipper
ship
Wharf
does.
This
project
leads
the
way
in
Brazilian
design.
It
is
a
system
of
flood
barriers
to
protect
low-lying
areas
in
the
event
of
a
serious
storm.
The
planning
serves
as
a
great
model
file
developers
can
build
and
protect.
I
want
to
front
I
want
to
thank
clipper
ship,
walk,
Wharf
and
Langley's
field
leadership
and
to
the
new
residents
here.
I
want
to
welcome
you.
C
Lastly,
I
just
want
to
let
these
Boston
community
know
about
the
upcoming
meeting
and
a
newest
residence
if
you're
not
part
of
it,
we're
doing
plan
East
Boston,
it's
led
by
the
PvdA.
It's
a
really
fine,
a
plan
to
get
into
what
does
he?
What
should
these
Boston
look
like
working
with
again
with
Adrienne
the
Jolla
Lydia
working
collectively,
together
to
really
think
about,
as
development
happens,
how
to
be
sure
that
a
protects
the
community
and
the
people
of
East
Boston
actually
have
seen
what's
going
on
so
we're?
Actually,
you
didn't.
C
Please
come
to
the
the
next
meeting
on
the
80,
we're
asking
presidents
and
business
owners
to
tell
us
what's
important
to
them
or
on
housing
and
support
supporting
diversity.
It's
a
climate
change
we're
going
to
be
checking
our
progress
in
one
year
and
neck.
The
next
steps
we'll
be
talking
about
all
gonna
do
next,
but
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
being
it
today.
It's
for
the
other
state.
Well,
Ryan
came
to
a
ribbon-cutting
in
2014.
C
The
main
conversation
wasn't
about
resiliency
and
it
really
was
about
connecting
people
back
to
the
waterfront
and
I
want
to
thank
the
community
hearing
these
possible
throughout
the
entire
city
of
Austin,
because
when
we
go
to
those
Civic
meetings,
it
is
about
connecting
people
back
and
I
want
to
thank
this
company
land
lease
for
really
understanding
the
importance
of
that
and
understanding
that
the
community
is
supportive
but
wants
to
make
sure
we
connect
people
back
to
the
waterfront
so
again
to
everyone
here
today.
Thank
you
very
much.
It's
a
beautiful
day.
A
A
We
had
two
aims:
one
was
to
create
a
hundred
year
project
and
we
didn't
know
exactly
what
that
meant
at
the
time,
but
we
knew
we
wanted
to
push
the
boundaries
on
resiliency
and
that
meant
taking
great
steps
to
raise
up
the
ground
level
of
apartments
and
the
been
in
the
areas
and
all
that,
and
it
turns
out
we're
probably
not
too
far
wrong
from
from
100
years.
The
other
thing
that
that
allowed
us
to
do
is
make
a
project
that
looks
and
feels
different
than
it.
A
Every
other
project
at
Austin,
leading
the
way
on
resiliency
is
one
of
the
reasons
not
just
raising
up
the
ground
plane,
but
finding
gracious,
interesting
transitions
down
to
the
waterfront
was
what
this
project
was
all
about.
The
conception
of
this
was
really
on
the
ground
and
so
very
proud
of
one,
the
aspirations
for
to
partnering
with
the
city
and
VPD
a
to
internalize
this
solution.
At
a
time
when
it
wasn't
really
part
of
discussion,
that's
that,
quite
you
know,
the
greatest
legacy
of
the
project
is
that
it
changed
the
discussion.
A
So
we
have
a
number
of
speakers
here
today
and
really
happy
to
have
our
elected
officials
to
join
us.
For
this.
First
we're
gonna
have
Corey
speak
Joe
is
state
senator
from
Lutheran.
He
gets
to
represent
his
neighborhood
town.
He
grew
up
in
as
well
as
he's
Boston
Joe.
There
are
a
lot
of
points
of
interaction
between
jokes
and
trust
and
clipper
ship
Wharf.
He
is,
he
sits
on
the
Senate
committees
for
sustainability
and
climate
change.
He
has
been
an
affordable
housing
guy.
A
His
entire
career
sits
on
that
Housing
Committee
and
you
know
just
a
word
about
affordable
housing.
You
know
the
flipper
ship
Wharf
has
a
long,
affordable,
housing
story
over
30
years.
A
lot
of
things
can
happen
and
we
inherited
this
project
from
the
wind
companies
and
related
and
they
had
solved
half
the
affordable
problem
by
selling
off
some
land
at
below
market
rates
and
fostering
development
in
the
neighborhood
that
the
finishing
touches
on
the
affordable
story
was
what
I
call
the
triple
bang
shot
of
his
project.
A
We
identified
a
opportunity
with
the
housing
authority
next
door
to
take
what
was
20
out-of-date
apartments
and
convert
them
to
something
that
would
both
contribute
to
the
fabric
of
East
Boston
and
creating
a
new
corridor
back
into
the
city
by
continuing
car
Street,
but
also
creating
52
units
where
20
units
had
stood
so
we're
very
proud
of
that
solution.
It's
a
combination
of
36,
affordable
units,
mixed
income
units
and
some
market
to
help
subsidize
the
development,
but
it
will
be
a
new
gateway
to
the
East
Boston
waterfront
and
to
clipper
ship
Wharf.
A
B
Thank
you
and
welcome
to
clipper
ship
Wharf
everyone
what
a
wonderful
day
it
is
to
see
this
come
to
fruition
to
see
the
activation
of
this
waterfront
I
want
to
thank
Nick
I
want
to
thank
everyone
from
land
lease
who
had
a
hand
in
this
incredible
project,
proud
to
join
today.
My
colleagues
in
government
mayor
Marty,
Walsh,
representative
Montero
and
city
council
linear'
Edwards,
we're
here
to
celebrate
today
as
this
destination.
B
Cements
East
Boston
is
the
destination
for
all
who
come
to
Boston
a
destination
for
housing,
a
place
for
people
to
put
their
roots
down
and
a
destination
to
visit,
some
of
the
public
art,
the
art,
galleries
and
other
destinations
on
this
site.
This
project
is
really
an
incredible
project,
as
it
is
built
towards
looking
to
the
future
and
towards
climate,
resiliency
and
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
the
City
Council
for
their
advocacy
in
our
on
in
members
of
the
BPD.
B
A
who
are
here
today
both
encourage
building
along
our
waterfront,
activating
our
waterfront,
but
activating
with
planning
towards
the
future
and
insurance
that
come
will
be.
You
know
mat
full
cold
front
with
an
eye
towards
climate
resiliency
along
our
coastal
community.
This
is
so
important
that
we
keep
this
in
mind
and
the
clipper
ship
Wharf,
if
all
should
be
really
a
message
to
all
about
affordable
housing.
B
A
So
our
next
speaker
is
Lisa
Mary
Engler
lisa
is
subbing
for
secretary
knee
Rarity's,
who
could
not
make
it
today,
but
it's
only
fitting
that
Lisa
be
here
because
she
was
here
and
on
the
ground
floor.
So
Lisa
is
the
director
of
the
office
of
coastal
zone
management.
They
advise
the
office
of
Mattia
and
Environmental
Affairs
on
technical
matters,
especially
having
to
do
with
coastal
development
and
she's,
also
overseeing
the
review
of
many
municipal
Harbor
plants
in
East
Boston
and
it
clipper.
A
A
We
had
Lisa,
we
had
probably
a
gence
EES
I'm,
going
to
forget
some
of
them
but
or
more
departments
from
Department
of
Environmental
Protection,
that
I
can
name
and
coastal
zone
management
and
Conservation
Commission
and
the
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
and
Division
of
Marine
Fisheries,
and
we
all
we
huddled
in
a
conference
room
next
door
at
the
rosula
development
in
there
at
the
VA
space,
and
we
kind
of
talked
about
what
the
aspirations
for
the
site
were.
What
the
challenges
were.
A
Here
we
were
going
to
manage
this
post
industrial
site,
what
the
opportunities
were
for
creating
a
waterfront
that
looked
and
felt
different
and
was
really
all
about
public
access,
and
so
we
then
toured
the
site
and
saw
old
rail
lines
kind
of
arcing
into
the
ocean
where
piers
once
were-
and
you
know
it
seemed
pretty
daunting
task.
But
through
you
know,
collaborative
effort
with
all
of
the
agencies
and
not
all
the
agencies,
you
know
speak
to
each
other
effectively.
A
E
F
F
F
F
We
literally
was
fenced
off
right,
totally
inaccessible
to
anybody,
and
now
not
only
is
it
open
to
the
public
and
the
community,
but
it
provides
opportunities
to
interact
with
the
Boston
Harbor
that
provides
that
opportunities
to
interact
with
coastal
habitats.
There's
this
wonderful
living
shoreline
element
of
the
project,
I
welcome
you
all
to
walk
down
and
take
a
look
at
it.
It
includes
rocky
intertidal
habitat,
as
well
as
two
different
types
of
salt
marsh
habitat,
and
these
are
what
we
call.
This
is
an
example
of
what
my
office
coastal
zone
management
office
called
living
shoreline.
F
These
living
shoreline
elements
are
opportunities
for
us
to
use
natural
resource
as
a
buffer
for
the
impacts
related
to
climate
change
that
we
see
now
and
that
we're
going
to
see
more
of
in
the
future.
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
the
public
and
educational
opportunity
to
go
in
and
learn
about
living
shorelines,
to
learn
about
coastal
habitats
and
also
an
opportunity
for
other
developers
to
understand
that
living
shorelines
work.
They
work
here
in
Boston.
F
You
know
this
is
the
first
time
we've
seen
the
segment
project
here
in
the
Boston
area,
and
I
really
really
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
highlighted
that
you
all
take
a
look
at
the
walk
down
there.
It's
great
really
is
I
also
want
to
highlight
that
the
project
as
Nick
said,
offers
alternative
modes
of
transportation.
So
secretary
here
is
obviously
very
focused
on
dealing
with
how
our
state
thinks
about
climate
change,
the
adaptation
side,
as
well
as
the
mitigation
side,
and
by
offering
opportunities
to
reduce
our
carbon
footprint
through
these
alternative
modes
of
transportation.
F
Right
that
train
right
here
to
take
you
right
to
City
of
Oakland,
that's
awesome,
there's
bike,
biking
opportunities
as
well,
and
then
there's
also
the
water
taxi
and
the
dock.
That's
right
over
here.
So
you
know
there
are
alternate
modes
of
transportation
here
that
offers
opportunities
for
the
residents
that
live
here
and
then
the
residents
and
that
neighboring
communities
to
reduce
their
carbon
footprint-
and
that's
really
important,
also
want
to
talk
about
how
the
project
does
align
very
closely
with
a
church
that
the
city
of
Boston
has
made
towards
building
resiliency
in
the
city.
F
So
the
climate
ready
Boston
initiatives.
Our
office
has
been
very
happy
to
coordinate
with
me,
PDA
and
the
city
on
these
climate
ready,
Boston
projects,
you've
provided
funded
and
tech
funding
and
technical
assistance
to
a
number
of
them,
and
it
shows
that
both
that's
already
well
on
its
way
towards
building
resilience
within
Foxit
Harbor,
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
and
implement
these
projects
in
the
near
future.
F
These
projects
are
all
about:
fostering
stronger
communities,
protecting
residents,
the
future
impacts
of
climate
change,
enhancing
Natural
Resources
and
then
also
contributing
to
the
economic
growth
of
the
city,
very
key
goals.
There
are
very
important
FX
or
instead,
already
climate
change
is
a
priority
for
the
Baker
Polito
administration,
and
it
has
been
really
from
the
beginning.
Our
goal
is
to
work
collaborative
collaboratively
amongst
municipalities
and
private
developers
as
well
to
take
on
this
climate
challenge
by
developing
practical
and
cost-effective
solutions
that
really
benefit
a
host
of
stakeholders.
F
A
I'd
now
like
to
well
in
efforts
to
say
a
few
words
that
he
had
wasn't
here
in
the
beginning
of
leadership
war,
but
she
is
here-
and
she
was
elected
halfway
through
the
process
here
and
Lydia
is
a
stalwart
protector
communities
like
these
Boston
great
representatives,
for
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
at
some
simple
artwork.
So.
G
Good
morning,
I
wanted
to
be
here
to
celebrate
a
lot
of
things.
I
do
think
this
is
an
ideal
development
when
it
comes
to
actually
marrying
a
waterfront
with
builder
I
think
it's
an
ideal.
It
could
be
a
model
honestly
for
the
rest
of
the
city,
if
not
the
state,
to
really
marry
those
things
to
make
sure
that
we're
building
resilient
buildings,
but
I'm
also
here
to
celebrate,
because
I
feel
that
a
ribbon-cutting
is
not
just
the
end.
It's
actually
the
beginning.
We've
done
the
zoning
part.
G
So,
on
a
point
not
only
to
China
from
the
solutions,
but
also
Justin
from
East
Boston
social
Center,
at
Madeleine,
from
zoomix,
Mita,
Lara
from
fabric
landing
and
also
I
believe
Sondra
Najjar
from
the
soup
kitchen,
because
they
are
part
of
that
welcoming
team
and
they
are
part
of
also
constantly
making
sure
that
we
have
a
neighborhood
here
and
we
look
forward
to
that
integration.
We
look
forward
to
the
fact
that
we
have
now
more
affordable
units
on
the
waterfront
again
an
ideal
understanding
at
what
is
equitable.
G
We
don't
want
the
waterfront
just
to
be
for
those
who
can
afford
it
for
all,
because
it's
a
beautiful
public
attribute
so
kudos
to
that
development
and
making
sure
that
we
have
more
affordable
units
on
our
waterfront,
but
as
I
was
introduced,
I
am
a
stalwart
protector
of
our
neighborhoods
and
so
again,
I
see
this
as
the
beginning
of
a
wonderful
conversation
and
how
we're
going
to
grow
our
neighborhood
grow.
Our
relationships
grow
the
diversity
here
and
making
sure
that
we
all
have
a
home.
I.
Also
forgot.
G
G
Welcome
to
East
Boston,
welcome
to
a
lot
of
our
ambassadors
for
our
community
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
to
making
sure
we
have
a
neighborhood
I
do
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
BPD
a
in
many
cases
for
many
of
the
projects
we
worked
on
together,
including
plan
East
Boston
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
his
leadership
and
my
colleagues,
the
east
delegation.
They
call
us
a
three
amigos:
Aging
in
Monroe
drove
our
car.
You
had
to
leave.
It's
been
great
working
with
all
of
you.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
You
Lydia,
and
you
really
touched
on
one
of
the
things
we
take
great
pride
in
and
lend-lease,
and
that
is
our
partnering
with
the
community
and
all
of
the
folks.
Who've
named
have
been
partners
of
ours
in
one
way
or
another
over
the
past
few
years
and
continue
to
be
Community
Day
with
the
Arbor
Keepers
coming
up,
yeah
very
exciting,
so
Jason
alderman
is
here
from
least
America's
he's
the
president
of
development
for
lease
here
and
we
are
very
delighted
to
have
our
lend-lease
regional
leadership
team
in
front
couple
of
rows.
A
I
won't
name
them
all,
but
it's
awesome
to
have
them
here
before
I.
Let
Jason
up
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
did
kind
of
oscar
award
ceremony
and
thank
a
few
people
lest
I
forget.
But
so
a
lot
of
folks
are
here,
which
is
great,
I,
really
need
to
thank
the
people
responsible
for
you
know
what
you
see
here.
A
Yes,
you
know
it's
a
collaboration
between
developer
and
consultants
and
architects
and
landscape
architects
and
I
really
wanted
to
finally
take
shape
and
you've
gotten
through
the
difficult
parts,
and
you
finally
get
to
the
easy
parts.
It
is
really
gonna
be
a
magical
thing,
so
ta-ta
architectural
team
in
the
in
the
ground
early
here,
Michael
ooh.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Andrew
sevens
Melanie,
Steve
regal
great
to
have
you
here
to
celebrate
this
great
day
hard
getting
here,
but
we
did
it
conversant
design,
partnership,
Bob,
Dylan,
Rob,
Adams,
Shannon,
Lane,
really
the
drivers
behind
the
site
solution
that
you
see
here.
It
was
their
kind
of
creativity
and
interest
mixed
with
our
desire
to
create
something
new
and
different
and
innovate
a
little
bit
that
that
really
allowed
us
to
unlock
this
site
worked
with
Jamie
Fay
at
four
point
associated
of
Jamie's
here.
A
But
you
know
his
vision
and
having
had
experience
on
the
East
Boston
waterfront
allowed
us
to
see
what
was
possible
and
navigating
the
regulatory
environment
is,
as
always
a
challenge,
and
he
was
really
important
in
that.
In
that
respect,
you
know
our
legal
teams
of
lawyers
who
usually
don't
get
much
praise,
but
Matt
Kiefer
Natalie.
You
know
kept
us
on
track
through
this
process.
A
We
have
a
lot
of
folks
responsible
for
selling
and
leasing,
and
you
know
keeping
us
on
track
here
and
so
the
wind
team
we
inherited
the
site
from
wind
development
and
they've,
been
instrumental
in
our
delivery
of
the
affordable
housing
next
door.
We
part
to
respond
to
an
RFP
that
unlocked
that
great
development
and
so
Gilbert
Wynn
and
Chris,
Fleming
and
Drupal.
A
There
are
here
representing
Wayne
so
great
to
have
you
and
then
there
they're,
incredible
leasing
and
marketing
team
who
had
this
place
almost
50%
leased
up
by
the
time
the
doors
opened,
which
is
a
testament
to
the
traction,
East
Boston
is
getting
and
again
that
if
you
get
people
here
they
want
to
stay.
So
that's
that's!
Really!
Wonderful
and
the
collaborative
have
been
working
with
us
to
sell
condos
for
that
65,
which
we
sold
miraculously
two
months
two
years
ago
and
now
slipped
45,
which
is
on
the
same
trajectory.
A
A
A
permitting
process,
it
doesn't
feel
like
anyone's
your
partner,
always
but
I
think
when
you
come
through
the
other
end.
It's
easy
to
say
that
we're
thankful
for
the
BPA
and
all
the
folks
we
interacted
with
and
who
helped
us
get
to
the
finish
line,
and
now
that
we
look
at
the
finish
result,
we
really
do
feel
like
partners
and
getting
here
so
I
wanted
to
thank
wall
diverge.
Who
was
our
project
manager
for
all
of
this?
A
We
have
a
number
of
epdm
folks
here:
David
Carlson
and
Matt
Martin
and
rich
McGinnis,
John
Donne's
al
just
I'm
gonna
forget
a
bunch
of
people,
but
thank
you
very
much
for
being
our
partner
here
and
then
really.
My
team,
that
has
you
know,
toiled
in
the
trenches
for
the
last
five
years
to
deliver
this.
A
Just
a
quick
rattle,
a
few
thank-yous,
I'm
Peter
shlonsky
Eric
tink
cows
are
Irish
backless,
Ashleigh,
Bryce
Marc
mean
coochie
Emma,
crook
Josh
are
gasps,
Warren,
LOI,
Daphne
Sasha,
and
some
who
were
instrumental
in
the
early
days
who
have
moved
on
Brian
Reardon,
Joe,
Vincent,
Rob,
Gardner,
all
all
critical
to
delivering
what
we
see
today
and
then
you
know
I
when
you're
near
an
outpost
of
a
global
company.
We've
got
about
13,000
employees
all
over
the
world.
A
Sometimes
you
can
feel
lonely
in
a
in
a
small
outpost
like
Boston
when
we're
doing
incredible
projects
all
over
the
world,
but
the
support
we've
had
from
the
leadership
team
from
our
investment
committees.
All
the
way
up
to
our
or
that
sits
in
Sydney
has
been
incredible.
I
go
everywhere
in
the
world
and
run
across
some
of
these
people,
and
they
know
about
clipper
ship
they're
excited
about
it,
they're
interested
in
it.
They
gonna
hear
about
it
and
that's
a
testament
to
the
culture
of
our
company,
but
also
what
is
really
to
create
this.
H
No
but
good
morning,
everyone,
it's
a
delight
to
be
here
today.
I
think
people
may
not
be
familiar
with
at
least
we're
a
big
global
developer
and
one
of
the
things
I
think
that
we
do
well.
Is
we
try
to
think
differently?
A
lot
of
companies
say
that
they
try
to
do
things
differently.
We
do
I
mean
as
a
developer.
What
do
we
do?
H
We
work
from
the
inside
out
very
often
we're
trying
to
maximize
revenue
maximize
the
opportunity
create
efficient
floor
plans,
creating
this
network
right
hand
the
right
amenities
to
the
mix,
so
that's
all
important,
but
the
other
part
I
think
of
what
we
do
really
well
globally.
This
was
evidenced
here
today.
Is
we
really
think
about
the
public
realm?
We
care
about
the
communities
that
we
operate
in
and
I
think
as
you
and
I
hope
you'll.
Do
it
as
more
of
the
walking's
who
are
afterwards
I.
Think
that
you
would
all
agree.
H
We've
really
done
a
tremendous
job
to
connect
the
waterfront
back
to
East
Boston,
taking,
as
Nick
has
said,
a
long
form,
a
piece
of
land
and
reactivating
it
with
the
living
shoreline.
The
Harbor
walk
the
amphitheater,
the
kayak
launch
public
art
program.
What
we
do
isn't
easy:
we've
had
our
challenges
here.
H
So
I'm
gonna
keep
my
remarks
brief
and
end
with
that.
I
only
would
add.
I
think
that
you
know
we
are
growing.
Our
presidents
here
in
the
United
States
will
be
in
Chicago
next
week
for
the
opening,
a
ribbon-cutting
of
another
public
park
and
a
quarter-mile
reactivation
of
the
Chicago
River
we're
trying
to
do
things
differently.
We've
been
recently
awarded
a
large
project
to
do
master
plan,
the
mixed-use
communities
with
Google
on
the
west
coast
and
we're
actively
hunting
for
our
next
deal
here
in
Boston.
So
thank
you
all
for
being
with
us
this
morning.
A
A
You
know
they
are
there
they're
safe
garters
of
the
public
realm
all
along
the
waterfront
they've
conical
to
all
of
that
facilities
of
public
accommodation
that
long
the
harbor
walk
and
really
are
committed
to
making
sure
that
the
spaces
we
deliver
are
you
know
productive
and
active
and
anchoring.
So
it's
been
incredible
pleasure
to
partner
with
Kathy
and
her
team
and
I'll
invite
her
up
for.
D
Thank
You
Megan,
it's
a
real
honor
to
be
up
here,
representing
so
many
nonprofits
around
the
harbor
Friends
of
the
Harbor
walk
the
Harbor
keepers,
views
Park
sailing.
So
congratulations
to
lend
lease
at
the
clipper
ship
for
this
incredible
spot,
and
the
first
thing
I
want
to
say
is
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
I
think
on
behalf
of
all
of
us
and
picking
up
on
Lydia's
comments
that
I
think
clipper
ship
medic
represents
or
lend-lease
has
built.
D
They
have
built
a
welcome
mat
instead
of
a
wall
and
not
only
I
had
built
a
welcome
mat,
but
they
felt
the
resilient
one
from
that,
and
while
we
are,
as
everyone
has
mentioned,
harbor
walk
really
concentrated
on
harbor.
Walk
are
happy
to
be
celebrating
with
the
city
and
all
these
other
groups,
the
35th
anniversary
of
the
harbor
walk
this
year.
This
represents
the
latest
link
in
almost
40
miles
of
harbor
walk
around
Boston
Harbor
as
a
project.
It
really
improves
the
system.
D
It
connects
us
to
our
history
and,
as
everybody
has
said,
connects
these
two
really
critical
our
clock.
We
were
gonna
cover,
walk
now
for
over
30
years,
but
harbor
walk
isn't
enough
anymore,
harbor
walk
we've
got
to
raise
it
up,
we've
got
to
build
it
out,
we've
got
to
get
creative
and
glitter
ship
has
really
set
the
bar
in
terms
of
of
what
I
think
we
can
expect
going
forward
as
I
think
Lisa
indicated.
We've
also
done
something
else
here
at
clipper
ship,
that's
really
exciting.
Lend-Lease
has
preserved
few
cars.
D
You
can
see
from
the
shipyard
all
the
way
to
Bunker
Hill
Monument.
You
can
see
over
to
the
Customs
House.
Those
are
ways
of
reading
I
think
this,
this
new
development
in
our
city
in
a
really
exciting
way-
and
it
transforms
a
section
of
this
waterfront
which
everybody
has
talked
about
with
elevated
terrain,
innovative
design,
protection
from
flooding
and
extreme
weather.
It's
it's
really
it's
a
new
standard,
so
we
focus
a
major
focus
of
our
active
advocate.
See
is
on
climate
resilience,
planning
and
opportunities.
D
D
When
lease
has
shown
its
broader
commitment
in
countless
ways,
Nick
mentioned
the
water
transportation
support
that
lend-lease
has
given
the
work
that
Boston
Harbor
now
has
been
doing
working
to
expand.
The
use
of
very
Sebastian
Harbor
private
developers
are
critical
to
the
success
of
this
of
this
effort
and
we
think
is
really
going
to
enhance
all
of
the
developments
that
are
occurring
around
the
harbor
and
the
neighborhoods
that
they
are
part
of
there's.
Also
some
really
exciting
new
interpretive
signage.
D
Here,
thanks
to
the
Friends
of
to
have
the
Boston
Harbor
walk
that
we
are
very
pleased
and
proud
and
hopeful
we'll
create
again
a
new
standard
for
signage
on
a
carbon
block.
For
all
of
these
reasons,
we
are
very
excited
to
honor
lend-lease
and
in
particular
Nick
and
are
awkward
awards
in
2017
that
really
represent
this
new
standard
of
sustainable
development
that
really
highlights
access
and
resiliency
as
one
as
one
product.
A
Thanks
Kathy,
so
last
but
not
least,
a
state
rep
Adrienne
bottom
he's
batting
cleanup
for
a
reason,
and
that's
because
he's
just
an
incredible
booster
for
this
community
for
a
project.
You
know
every
event
we
go
to
every
nonprofit.
We
support,
you
know
he's
always
there
he's
always
happy
he's,
always
convening
people.
It's
it's.
It's
always
a
pleasure
to
have
him
around
and
it's
big
boisterous
voice
that
you
can
hear
at
every
event
here.
A
A
Clubs
is
just
that
I
mean
he
and
former
councillor
Solomon
Tina
introduced
us
to
them
and
we
partnered
with
them
on
a
community
day
where
we
boost
up
their
grounds
and
painted
and
cleaned,
and
you
know,
spent
a
great
day
getting
to
know
about
their
mission
and
that
blossomed
into
a
much
broader
relationship
that
I
think
Adrian's
going
to
talk
about.
But
Adrienne
is
great
to
have
you
here
finally
realized
this
Adrienne
acts
as
as
a
convener
and
a
mediator.
A
I
Good
morning,
everyone
it
is
so
wonderful
to
be
with
you
all
today,
Nik
Jason
and
the
entire
lend-lease
team.
Congratulations,
beautiful,
weather
a
little
chilly.
You
could
have
done
something
about
that
Nik,
but
that's
okay
and
a
spectacularly
stunning
view.
I'm,
also
glad
that
you
could
be
here
today
with
us.
Celebrating
this
exciting
occasion.
We
have
come
a
long
way,
I
remember
when
we
were
first
talking
about
this
project
and
I
want
to
actually
bring
us
back
even
further,
so
when
I
was
growing
up
in
East
Boston.
I
Some
speakers
have
touched
on
this,
but
I
live
this
and
I
remember
vividly
when
we
were
growing
up
as
kids,
we
didn't
have
a
harbor
walk
here.
We
didn't
have
open
space
here.
Much
of
our
Harbor
walk
was
blocked
off
to
us
with
cyclone
fencing,
including
this
parcel
of
land.
Many
youth
in
the
neighborhood
used
to
climb
that
fence
and
go
for
a
swim
in
the
Boston
Harbor
I
would
have
never
committed
such
a
heinous
act,
but
that's
how
we
access
to
our
waterfront.
I
You
fast
forward
to
2019,
and
here
we
are
breaking
ground
at
an
incredible
development
that
is
providing
access
to
residents
of
East
Boston
to
a
harbor
walk,
but
beyond
that
the
lend-lease
team
has
done
this
in
such
a
thoughtful
way
that
has
taken
into
account
issues
of
climate
change
and
sea
level
rise
and
how
we
connect
this
development
with
the
broader
community
and
for
your
investment
into
East.
Boston
I
am
very,
very
grateful.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
I
also
want
to
speak
to
Nick's
point
about
Len
Lisa's
commitment
to
the
community,
because
you
know
we
asked
a
lot
of
many
developers
and
often
times
things
happen
behind
the
scenes
and
go
unnoticed.
But
it's
important
that
we
do
recognize.
The
good
works
that
people
like
Glenn
leash
do
and
when
they
came
to
East
Boston,
they
immediately
said
how
can
we
be
supportive?
We
want
to
roll
up
our
sleeves.
We
want
to
be
involved.
Nick
touched
on.
I
He
was
very
humble
in
saying
that
the
lend-lease
team
did
a
little
community
cleanup
day
and
did
some
painting
the
investment
that
they
made
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
which
I'm
a
product
of,
and
many
of
my
peers
in
East
Boston
are
was
actually
quite
tremendous.
The
Boys
and
Girls
Club
is
a
very
old
building
in
East
Boston.
It
has
a
ton
of
windows,
it's
a
former
school
and
those
windows.
Hadn't
been
touched
for
a
long
long
time
and
what
we
were
seeing
was
the
bills
were
skyrocketing
in
the
summer,
because
heat
was
escaping.
I
But
their
investment
didn't
stop
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
Some
of
my
colleagues
have
recognized
a
number
of
our
community
partners
from
the
nonprofit
sector
who
were
here.
We
also
have
Alex
Franz,
oh
the
executive
director
of
Pierce
Park
sailing,
and
we
have
these
cool
buttons
that
were
wearing.
These
are
courtesy
of
Matt
Pollock
from
Harbor
arts,
another
nonprofit
in
East
Boston.
I
So,
as
you
can
see
whether
it's
zoo
mix,
whether
it's
maverick
landing,
harbor
keepers,
all
the
other
nonprofit
players
that
are
here
like
the
social
centers
lend-lease,
has
really
become
an
integral
part
of
this
community.
And
for
that
I'm,
very
grateful
as
well,
and
the
last
thing
I'd
like
to
say
is
I'd
like
to
welcome
all
the
new
residents
who
are
here.
We
look
forward
to
having
you
roll
up
your
sleeves
and
getting
involved
the
community
and
don't
forget
to
register
to
vote.
Thank
you.
Everyone
take
care
congratulation.
A
See
why
he
was
bad
and
cleanup,
so
just
a
few
administrative
matters
before
we
disband
here.
You
know,
first
of
all,
thanks
again
for
coming.
I
want
to
thank
Inc
house
for
putting
on
this
event
and
especially
Nicole
back
savannahs,
our
internal
coordinator
for
all
of
this,
so
I
know
you're
somewhere
in
a
call.
Thank
you
for
that.
So
we
are
gonna,
have
a
little
ribbon.
Cutting
ceremony
and
Adrian
mentioned
Harbor
arts,
and
you
know
arts,
as
you
walk
around
you.
A
You
hope
I
hope
you
get
a
sense
that
our
commitment,
you
know,
public
art
and
the
public
realm
really
shines
through.
We
had
two
competitions:
four
sculptures
at
clipper
ship,
one
of
which
is
on
the
western
side
of
our
site,
which
was
just
installed
last
week,
we're
almost
finished
delivering
that
portion
of
the
Harbor
walk.
So
please
go
have
a
look
and
also
another
work
called
pillar
here
in
in
the
plaza
done
by
a
local
group
called
Napa.
So
after
we
do,
the
ribbon-cutting
Lara
is
going
to
serenade
us
again,
we're
very
thankful
for
that.
A
But
please
enjoy
food
mill
around
tour,
the
property
when
we'll
be
conducting
tours.
We
have
mark
Jacobson
from
Boston
paddle

one
of
the
really
exciting
things
we're
going
to
do.
A
clipper
ship
is
have
a
canoe
and
kayak
operation
he's
been
kind
enough
to
bring
his
cycle
boat
here
today.
So
anyone
who
wants
to
take
a
quick
tour
of
Boston
Harbor
via
cycle
boat
be
15
or
20
minutes.
We
can
do
it
for
as
many
people
who
who
want
to
do
that.
So
please
go
down
and
see
the
docks.
