From YouTube: The Beverly Opening Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting
Description
The Beverly is the perfect model for future housing development projects in Boston; it's a sustainably designed multi-use building that combines mixed-income housing with retail opportunities in a transit-oriented location, offering a vibrant community for Boston's workforce. Built on a portion of land in the West End that was once dominated by the pre-Big Dig I-93 expressway, it is a wonderful re-imagination of public land.
A
A
Well,
good
morning,
everybody
thanks
for
joining
us
today,
thanks
for
being
here
and
thanks
for
everything
from
the
very
start
of
this
project
from
when
we
first
started
thinking
about
it
to
here
today
celebrating
our
Grand
Opening,
my
name
is
Kimberly
Sherman
Stambler,
president
of
related
VL,

Governor
Baker,
mayor
Walsh,
representative
Livingstone,
councillor
Zakim
and
councillor
Savi
George.
Thank
you.
Everyone
for
being
here
today,
we're
thrilled
to
celebrate.
A
The
opening
of
the
Beverley
families
and
residents
have
been
moving
in
the
building
is
up
and
running,
people
are
enjoying
it
or
proud
of
their
new
homes.
Strollers
joggers
dogs
are
going
in
and
out
of
the
building
every
day,
they're
loving
the
building
and
they're
loving
the
neighborhood,
the
parks,
the
Greenway,
the
transit
connectivity,
the
waterfront.
All
the
Boston
has
to
offer
is
right
here
at
the
Beverly
and
being
here
and
being
here
today
and
for
the
residents
of
the
Beverly
is
thanks
to
the
great
leadership
of
everyone
in
this
room.
A
Building
the
Beverly
over
93
was
no
easy
feat,
but
this
project
is
not
just
about
the
actual
building.
It's
about
the
people
that
lives
their
lives.
Here.
The
people
who
make
this
building
a
dynamic
environment
and
the
people
who
move
and
make
the
city
happen
the
way
that
it
does
in
so
many
ways
it's
about
the
people
in
the
building
and
it
about
our
great
city
when
related
bills
set
out
to
build
a
100
percent
income
restricted
building.
It
was
a
true
public-private
partnership
with
everyone
in
this
room.
A
From
the
very
outset,
with
related
40
year
history
in
affordable
housing,
we
were
determined
to
build
a
fully
income
restricted
project
in
downtown
Boston.
In
fact,
when
related
and
bl
became
related
Beale
in
2013,
it
was
at
the
top
of
our
to-do
list.
The
Beverly
was
truly
a
labor
of
love.
It
reflects
the
lofty
ambitions
of
both
Boston
and
of
the
Commonwealth
and
of
the
goals,
creativity
and
focus
of
the
Baker
and
Walsh
administration's,
and
their
exceptional
teams
who
rolled
up
their
sleeves
every
step
of
the
way
to
get
this
project
done.
Thank
you.
A
This
project
was
complicated.
Taking
roll
call
on
conference
alone
was
a
feat
in
event
itself,
but
this
only
further
highlighted
the
commitment
and
the
collaboration
to
make
this
project
a
reality.
Thank
you
to
everyone,
not
only
for
your
partnership
that
we
are
all
grateful
for
and
continue
to
be
grateful
for,
but
for
the
vision
to
make
this
project
happen.
So
thank
you
to
everyone
in
this
room
and
I
would
name
you
all
by
names
by
name
if
we
didn't
have
time
constraints.
A
Thank
you
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
your
hard
work,
creativity
and
teamwork,
and
every
vision
has
an
oz,
someone
behind
the
curtain,
a
big
thank
you
to
Bruce,
kill
junior
president
of
related,
who
has
led
so
many
initiatives
at
our
company
and
made
it
very
clear
to
me
when
I
moved
to
his
hometown
that
the
growth
of
related
bill
would
include
an
early
and
continued
focus
on
affordable
housing.
Thank
you,
Bruce.
A
Finally,
thank
you
to
Bruce
peel
senior
and
to
Robert
Bo,
who
paved
the
way
on
community
development,
innovation
and
vision
for
our
company
repeatedly
in
the
city
of
Boston.
The
Biel
stamp
is
everywhere
and
we
are
proud
to
work
at
a
company
where
you
have
both
always
led
by
example.
Thank
you
again
to
Governor
Baker
and
mayor
Walsh.
I
would
now
like
to
welcome
mayor
Walsh
to
the
podium.
Thank
you.
C
It's
important
to
thank
people.
I
know
that
it
prolongs
the
the
speaking
portion,
but
a
project
like
this
doesn't
happen
without
a
lot
of
great
people,
I'm,
not
gonna,
repeat
every
single
person,
Kim
said
and
I
might
add
a
couple
people,
but
I
want
to.
First
of
all,
thank
all
of
you
in
the
room
here
today.
I
want
to
start
with
the
governor
and
the
Massachusetts
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
Krystal.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
involvement
here.
You're
amazing
and
this
project
would
not
have
been
there
without
this.
C
All
of
us
all
of
you,
I,
should
say
Sheila,
Dillon,
chief
of
housing
for
the
city
of
Boston,
who
does
an
incredible
job
in
the
city.
I
say
it
every
day,
I'm
fortunate
to
have
Sheila
with
us,
because
she
really
is
making
things
happen
in
our
city,
so
Thank
You
Sheila
the
staff
of
the
BPD,
a
all
of
you
that
are
out
there
now.
Thank
you,
Brian
gold
in
the
director.
Thank
you,
Brian
and
all
the
other
folks
that
are
here.
I
want
to
thank
you.
C
Anitra
sabe
George,
City,
Council,
nice
rossabi,
George
from
the
city
of
City
Council,
also
understands
the
importance
of
having
more
and
more
affordable
housing
in
our
city
and
workforce
housing
in
our
city
and
low-income
housing
in
our
city.
So
I
want
to
thank
her
for
being
here
today
and
everyone
in
the
in
the
bills.
I
want
to
thank
the
bills
for
your
commitment
to
the
city.
It's
exciting
to
see
related
bill
have
a
bigger
and
bigger
footprint
in
the
city
of
Boston.
C
Every
day,
I
talked
to
Kim
almost
as
much
as
I
talked
to
Lori
of
our
project,
so
I
want
to
I
want
to
thank
him
for
what's
going
on
and
thank
all
of
you
both
prove
senior
and
Bruce
jr.
and
the
entire
Beal
family
and
everyone
in
this
room
who
made
this
a
reality.
This
project
a
reality,
is
so
many
of
you
that
have
made
this
project
a
reality.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work.
This
is
the
proud
day.
The
Beverly
is
a
historic
development
in
the
city
of
Austin.
C
It's
a
major
step
towards
citywide
housing
goal
and
we
were
talking
about
a
housing
goal.
Yeah
two
days
ago,
yesterday,
actually
yesterday
morning
and
we're
talking
about
our
goal
of
53,000
units
in
new
housing
by
the
year
2030,
and
we
have
54,000
units
either
under
construction
in
the
in
the
pipeline
of
stock
or
in
the
permanent
process.
Right
now
in
the
city
of
Boston,
so
we're
shattering
our
goal,
but
our
goal
is
it
meeting
the
need
that
we
have
to
do
so?
We're
doubling
down
and
moving
for
we're.
C
Also
looking
that
this,
this
project
creates
much
needed,
workforce
housing
and,
as
you
can
see
the
location
of
this
project,
you
don't
need
a
car.
You
can
pretty
much
eat
in
the
North
End.
If
you
want,
you
can
work
on
the
downtown
boss
and
financial
district.
If
you
want
to
work
over
in
the
Seaport,
you
can
walk
over
to
the
Seaport.
C
You
can
work,
walk
to
the
North
Station
area,
it's
a
perfectly
located
building
for
so
many
people
that,
when
they
work
work
here,
live
here
play
here
to
have
an
opportunity
to
really
experience
the
city.
They
can
look
out
the
window
this
side
and
they
can
see
a
beautiful
north
that
neighborhood
they
can
look
out.
The
window
this
side
see
the
West
End.
They
can
see
the
sake
and
bridge
behind
us
and
in
front
of
us,
see
what's
happening
in
downtown,
so
it
is
pretty
exciting.
C
This
beautiful
new
landmark
shows
the
power
of
inclusionary,
our
inclusionary
development
policy,
IDP
contributions
from
Lovejoy
Wharf
projects,
which
is
a
related
bill
and
hub
on
causeway,
which
is
Boston
Properties,
is
part
of
making
this
project
happen.
It's
a
shining
example
of
what
we
can
do
and
we
can
achieve
when
the
city
and
state
and
private
development
comes
together.
I
was
talking
to
Bruce
a
minute
ago
and
we're
talking
about
the
unique
relationship
that
everyone
talks
about
between
the
state
and
the
city.
Here
in
Massachusetts
of
Boston,
it's
not
a
unique
relationship.
It's
the
way.
C
It's
supposed
to
happen,
it's
supposed
to
we're
supposed
to
work
off
each
other,
we're
supposed
to
be
moving
forward
supposed
to
be
talking,
we're
supposed
to
be
working
to
move
our
economies
and
move
people
forward.
That's
what
that's!
What
our
democracy
is
all
about,
and
that's
what
we
that's.
What
we
do
here
in
Boston
and
and
the
rest
of
the
country
can
look
and
learn
from
us,
because
it
is
about
opportunities
and
collaborations
and
having
phone
calls,
and
that
means
also
bringing
in
the
private
sector.
C
They
have
those
dialogues
and
those
conversations
as
well
and
when
you
think
about
when
people
ask
what's
going
on
in
Boston
and
what's
going
on
in
Massachusetts,
how
come
it's
so
special?
It's
because
we're
all
on
the
same
page
most
of
the
time,
and
we
want
to
move
on,
move
our
city
forward
and
move
our
state
forward
and
move
our
economy
forward.
So
we're
exciting
to
do
that.
But
we
have
more
work
to
do
when
it
comes
to
housing
stock.
C
We
need
to
keep
our
city
affordable,
and
this
is
helping
us
keep
our
city
affordable,
and
it's
also
helping
us
maintain
the
amazing
character
of
the
different
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
making
our
Boston
neighborhoods
more
resilient.
This
project
serves
as
a
model
to
our
neighborhoods.
We
want
to
see
more
options
for
people
across
all
income
levels,
transit,
oriented,
mixed-use
development,
with
amenities
like
retail
and
sustainable
buildings
and
vibrant
communities.
For
Boston's
work
for
us
again,
I
want
to
thank
everybody
who
worked
in
this
project
and
made
this
project
a
reality.
C
I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
chair
of
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Board
Tim
burgers
with
us
say
thank
you
Tim
for
being
with
us
today.
I
want
to
thank
relate
a
bill,
the
Boston
planning
and
development
agency,
the
Boston
Department
of
Neighborhood
Housing
Development,
the
mass
Housing
and
Community
Development
Department,
and
everyone
who
who's
going
to
call
Beverly
its
home.
Now
we
have
the
great
honor
of
bringing
up
the
governor
and
I'm.
C
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
when
I
got
elected
mayor,
one
of
the
things
that
we
we
inherited-
and
this
isn't
a
bad
thing,
but
we
inherited
a
housing
shortage
in
historic
housing
shortage
and
we
got
to
work
on
and
we
started
thinking
about.
How
do
we
move
forward?
Then
we
collaborated
with
mayor's
around
Greater
Boston
and
Boston's
populations.
C
Doing
are
really
focused
on
housing
and
the
opportunity
to
keep
people
in
communities
and
keep
neighborhoods
affordable
for
people
to
be
able
to
stay
so
as
we
build
new
units
of
luxury,
housing
and
middle
class
housing.
We're
also
focused
on
low-income
housing
and
making
sure
that
people
have
the
opportunity,
because
we
understand
that
it's
a
rights.
People
should
have
the
right
to
live
in
a
home
and
I
like
to
bring
up
to
this
podium
our
partner
in
this
project,
but
also
in
so
many
other
projects
around
Boston,
the
governor,
the
Commonwealth
Charlie
Baker.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
mayor
and
I'm
gonna
work
real
hard,
not
to
repeat,
what's
already
been
said.
Let
me
just
say
this.
First
of
all,
we
really
value
the
relationship
that
we
have
with
the
city
and
we
really
value
the
relationship
we
have
with
so
many
of
the
folks
in
the
private
sector,
both
on
the
build
side
and
on
the
development
side,
as
well
as
on
the
financing
side.
B
Here
in
Massachusetts
into
the
city
of
Boston,
I've,
probably
been
to
I,
don't
know
it
dozen
at
least
a
dozen
groundbreakings
and
probably
another
dozen
ribbon-cuttings
on
housing
projects
of
one
sort
or
another
all
over
the
city
over
the
course
of
the
past
couple
of
years,
and
we
were
here
for
the
groundbreaking
on
this
one
two
years
ago-
we're
here
today
to
cut
a
ribbon
and
I.
Think
there's
three
things
I
would
say
to
add
to
what's
already
been
said.
B
The
first
is,
we
should
all
remember
that
we
are
sitting
on
top
of
what
used
to
be
the
central
artery,
the
opportunity
that
was
created
by
the
depression
of
the
artery,
to
rethink
and
reimagine
whole
swaths
of
the
City
of
Austin
over
about
two
miles
where
the
real
estate
was
significant
and
I.
Think
it's
fair
to
say
that
in
many
ways
the
city
in
the
state
working
with
our
colleagues
in
the
private
sector
have
done
some
very
positive
things
with
that.
B
We've
put
hundreds
of
parcels
of
state
property
back
into
productive
use
and
have
a
big
pipeline
of
many
more
to
do.
The
same
thing
with
and
I
can't
tell
you
how
much
satisfaction
we
get
out
of
seeing
what
was
previously
vacant
land
become
productive
and
important
in
neighborhoods
and
communities
around
the
Commonwealth
and
I
do
have
to
say
one
other
thing:
I
see
Scott
Bosworth
here
from
the
folks
at
do
T.
B
You
don't
always
get
the
attention
and
I
know
you
don't
care,
but
today,
you're
gonna
get
it
because
the
work
you
did
on
this
was
incredibly
important.
It
wouldn't
have
happened
without
it,
and
the
final
thing
I'll
say
is
when
you
have
folks
who
recognize
and
understand
that
they
are
in
for
the
long
haul,
that
they
want
to
be
part
of
a
community,
and
then
they
get
the
fact
that
every
decision
they
make
every
commitment
they
make
every
time
they
follow
through
they're
sort
of
building
a
brand
and
a
reputation.
B
So
congratulations
to
all
of
you
to
the
city.
I
would
just
say
how
much
we
value
and
appreciate
the
work
and
the
opportunity
we
have
to
work
with
you
and
I
hope.
We
continue
to
spend
time
at
groundbreakings
and
at
ribbon-cuttings
for
more
housing
up
and
down
the
stack
seniors,
moderate
income,
families,
middle-income
families,
affordable
housing,
young
people.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
here.
We
have
a
big
bond
bill
and
a
tremendous
opportunity
ahead
of
us
to
build
on
our
historic
success.
Thank
you.
A
So
this
is
not
the
part
of
the
speaking
session
where
I
go
through
and
I
name
everybody
everybody
by
name
I
promise,
but
thank
you
so
much
to
each
and
every
one
of
you.
Congratulations!
Thank
you.
Thanks
to
the
partnership,
the
collaboration,
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
your
vision.
We
don't
just
talk
about
it.
We
do
it
welcome
counselors
a-come
and
I
I
want
to
thank
everybody,
and
we
look
forward
to
doing
this
again
with
all
of
you.
Thank
you
and
congratulations.
