one
of
the
newest
additions
to
Boston's

We
are
proud

Thank

You

started
to
move
in

especially
grateful
to
Mayor
Walsh,
governor
Baker
and
Congressman
Cappadonna
for
being
here
today.
Thank
you.
So
much
today
marks
the
conclusion
of
a
project
that
we
started
three
years
ago,
and
we
cannot
be
happier
to
be
here.
A
The
nova
residences
is
a
good
example
of
what
was
once
old
and
it
can
be
new
again
and
we
are
very
conveniently
located
in
the
center
of
Boston
in
the
Brighton
neighborhood,
very
vibrant,
upcoming
neighborhood.
That
is
that
we
are
proud
to
be
a
part
of
Boston
Green,
Line
and
bt8
make
it's
very
easy
to
get
it
to
the
center
of
Boston.
A
We
have
great
restaurants,
different
food
establishments
for
our
residences,
and
we
are
proud
to
be
a
part
of
this
vibrant
neighborhood
at
this
time,
with
great
pleasure
like
to
welcome
mayor
Walsh,
mayor
Walsh
was
elected
in
2013
to
be
the
mayor
of
Boston
and
during
his
campaign
that
I
dressed
and
they
had
an
ambitious
plan
to
address
an
affordable
housing
market
and
middle-class
market
with
them
we're
thrilled
that
he
could
be
here
today.
Thank
you
so
much
and
please
join
me
in
welcoming
mayor
Walsh.
B
Think
well
in
the
next
two
years.
We're
gonna
shatter
that
by
the
way,
but
so
it's
exciting
to
see
the
growth
so
I
and
I
want
to
thank.
Thank
you
for
the
great
work
here.
I
also
want
to
recognize
that
I
know
that
I'm,
the
governor
I'm
gonna
bring
him
up
in
a
minute
and
Congressman
Mike
Capuano
has
been
recognized.
I
want
to
thank
Mike
for
his
great
work
as
well,
particularly
down
in
Washington,
in
fighting
to
make
sure
that
affordable,
housing
and
HUD
continues
to
move
forward
and
Michael's
been
the
champion
for
years
down.
B
B
I
also
here
in
Massachusetts,
one
of
our
champions
for
housing
for
the
last
almost
20
years
has
been
a
state
representative,
Kevin
Honan
and
from
Brighton,
and
his
great
work
and
Kevin's
here
with
us
today
and
I
want
to
thank
Kevin
not
just
for
his
advocacy
over
the
years,
but
also
for
pro4
housing
developments
like
this.
So
thank
you
representing
for
your
great
way.
B
So
I
want
to
thank
you
much
to
make
sure
we
keep
you
the
housing
and
obviously,
and
we're
also
joined
by
City,
Council,
Denise
or
sabe
George,
who,
in
her
own
right,
has
worked
hard
as
well.
But
what
her
her
niche
I
guess
would
say.
I'd
say
it
really
has
been
homeless.
Children
in
the
school
in
the
city
of
Boston,
School
Department
fighting
to
make
sure
not
only
do
they
have
more
consistency
in
their
life,
but
they
also
fight
to
make
sure
they
have
housing
foot
for
them
as
they
grow
older.
B
It's
excited
to
be
here.
As
I
mentioned,
this
plan
does
fall
in
line
with
our
housing
goals
of
imagine,
Boston
2030.
It
also
adds
to
the
local
economy
to
the
community.
I
want
to
thank
the
community,
that's
here
in
this
great
neighborhood,
for
what
you
do,
and
we
always
still
out
in
this
table
it's
great
to
see
that
it's
also
great
to
see
the
growth
and
the
amenities
that
come
with
housing.
You
see
more.
It
helps
local
businesses,
local
shops,
local
Main,
Street
districts.
B
B
As
elected
officials
and
and
I'll
tell
you
when
it
comes
to
housing
and
affordable
housing
as
I
mentioned
Kevin
is
the
person
who's
putting
the
bill
together
the
housing
bond
bill,
but
the
governor
last
week
made
an
announcement
over
in
Mattapan
funding
projects
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts,
and
the
most
of
these
projects
were
with
low-income
housing
developments,
and
you
know
he
I.
Think
eight
of
eight
of
the
25
were
Boston
based
programs,
Boston
based
housing
developments
and
I
want
to
thank
him
for
his
commitment
as
well.
B
For
for
his
commitment
to
housing,
we've
worked
very
closely
together
on
finding
state
owned
lands
available
state
owned
lands.
How
do
we
make
it
equitable?
So
people
can
build
housing
on
that
land,
not
just
here
in
Boston,
but
throughout
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
and
and
this
guy's
done
an
awful
lot
in
housing
and
it's
an
honor
for
me
to
introduce
you,
the
government,
the
Commonwealth
to
Charlie
Baker.
C
C
So
we
got
told
that
our
lap,
the
internet,
would
only
work
on
our
laptops
when
they
were
plugged
in
to
our
docking
station,
because
there
was
no
Wi-Fi
in
the
Statehouse
and
we
all
kind
of
looked
at
each
other,
and
we
had
just
come
out
of
this
building
which
at
that
point
in
time,
was
let's
just
call
it
a
bit
of
a
mess,
but
it
had
Wi-Fi
I
mean
it
was
2014.
It
had
Wi-Fi
and
I
would
say
to
people
this
beautiful
Statehouse.
C
One
and
they
all
had
Wi-Fi
and
it
all
kind
of
looked
at
me
a
little
quizzically
about
it
and
one
governor
in
particular.
It's
nice,
Southern,
drawl,
so
well,
yeah.
Sure,
of
course
we
got
Wi-Fi,
you
don't
and
I
said.
Actually,
no,
we
don't
need
some
wall.
Well,
how
can
that
be?
And
so
I
gave
him
the
answer.
I
got,
which
was
it's
very
complicated.
Security
divided
by
four
I,
carry
the
three.
It
was
big
long
answer.
C
He
sat
there
and
listened
to
me
for
a
while
and
at
the
end
of
it
he
just
looked
at
me.
He
said
in
MIT
right
down
the
street
from
you,
State
House
house,
Wi-Fi,
by
the
way,
some
of
the
registries
and
a
whole
bunch
of
other
places
now,
but
the
nice
part
about
this
and
the
mayor
talked
a
little
bit
about
it.
C
We
cannot
succeed
as
a
Commonwealth
in
developing
housing,
workforce
housing,
affordable
housing,
housing
period
in
communities
around
the
Commonwealth,
without
the
support
and
commitment,
and
engagement
and
creativity
and
imagination
of
our
colleagues
and
local
government.
Our
colleagues
in
the
legislature
and
the
folks
in
Washington
and
Massachusetts
benefits
from
the
fact
that
we
have
very
active
players
in
all
of
those
areas.
C
The
mayor
talked
about
the
significance
of
his
plan
to
create
more
workforce
in
affordable
housing
in
Boston
and
more
housing
generally
and
yes,
the
city
did
get
eight
of
those
25
projects
that
we
announced
a
couple
weeks
ago.
What
he
didn't
say
is
part
of
the
reason
for
that
is
because
the
city
of
Boston
put
a
lot
of
its
own
money
on
the
table
to
make
those
projects,
work
and
I.
C
Think
one
of
the
things
we
should
always
remember
here
is
most
of
the
time
workforce
and
affordable
housing
has
funding
coming
through
a
lot
of
different
streams.
It's
got
money
coming
from
the
federal
government
which
folks,
like
congressman,
Capuano
work,
enormous
ly
hard
on.
It's
got
money
coming
through
state
bond
authorizations
and
tax
credit
programs,
and
and
other
initiatives
like
that
which
folks,
like
representative
Honan
who
chairs
the
Housing
Committee,
are
hugely
important
too,
but
they
also
require
communities
to
find
a
way
to
step
up
and
become
part
of
the
play.
C
With
respect
to
how
you
actually
get
it
done
and
and
the
mayor's
goals
are
ambitious,
but
I
absolutely
believe
that
if
he
and
his
team
continue
to
work
with
us
and
with
others,
they
will
be
achievable
over
the
course
of
the
next
few
years.
And
this
project
here,
which
took
an
office
complex
and
turned
it
into
housing,
is
exactly
the
sort
of
thing.
C
I
think
gonna
see
happen,
a
lot
more
in
communities
around
Massachusetts
as
folks
look
for
ways
to
make
it
possible
for
more
housing
to
get
developed
along
transit
lines,
which
obviously
we
have
here
as
more
housing
gets
developed
in
places
where
we
have
restaurants
and
other
residential
programming
and
a
supermarket
that's
right
over
there
and
a
really
great
diner
down
at
the
end
of
the
street.
A
terrific
beats
a
place
down
here.
I
could
go
on
for
a
long
time
about.
C
What's
in
this
neighborhood
a
hospital
right
over
there,
but
the
long
story
short
is
we
increased
our
housing
production
goal
significantly
after
we
took
office
by
about
25
percent,
we
increased
the
state's
investment
in
affordable
and
workforce
housing
on
the
capital
side
by
about
20
percent.
We're
continuing
to
work
with
our
colleagues
in
the
legislature
to
move
a
housing
bond
bill,
it's
about
a
billion
five,
so
that
will
have
the
resources
and
the
capacity
we
need
to
continue
to
develop
more
workforce
in
affordable
housing
throughout
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts.
C
C
A
It's
hard
to
follow
such
a
great
public
speaker,
it's
my
honor
and
pleasure.
We
have
Michael
Capitano
here
with
us
today,
who
is
also
tirelessly
working
on
an
affordable
housing
and
bringing
in
more
affordable
units
to
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts.
We
are
definitely
liking
that
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
we
do
have
10
units
that
are
designated
as
affordable
units
in
this
building,
which
is
going
through
the
lottery
right
now
and
finalizing
the
leases
and
we're
hoping
to
see.
First
tenants
move
in
and
October
1st.
B
D
B
D
Until
you
look
Lyon
I
guess
it
was
affordable.
Everybody
was
working
class.
Today,
it's
a
little
different.
These
neighborhoods
have
become
a
little
bit
more
attractive.
People
want
to
move
back
into
them
and
they
understand
the
benefits
of
urban
living
and
we
need
a
little
help
so
that
we
need
projects
like
this.
I
want
to
be
real,
clear,
I,
don't
think
you'll
find
anybody
in
elective
office
today
that
thinks
that
anything
should
be
all
affordable.
We
all
firmly
believe
that
poor
people
shouldn't
live
over
here
and
wealthy
people
over
there.
D
We
all
believe
the
place
is
like
awesome.
Right
needs
a
mix.
They
need
a
little
bit
of
everybody,
they
need
some
poorer
people,
some
wealthier
people
and
a
lot
of
people
in
between,
because
it's
important
to
not
distinguish
as
far
as
I'm
concerned.
On
your
socio-economic
background,
you
never
know
who
a
kid's
gonna
grow
up
to
be.
You
know
you
never
know
that
one
of
them
could
be
a
state
representative.
One
of
them
could
be
the
chief
of
staff
to
the
President
of
the
United.
States
I
want
to
be
real
clear.
D
The
only
good
thing
I
can
think
of
about
Donald
Trump
is
the
fact
that
his
chief
of
staff
comes
from
Mike.
There
must
be
something
else,
but
I
haven't
found
it
yet
I
think
it's
critically
important
to
have
every
rung
in
the
ladder.
Yes,
we
need
the
Fidelis
ways
of
the
world.
We
also
need
the
high-end
stuff,
and
everything
in
between
this
building
helps
fulfill.
D
That
and
that's
why
I
wanted
to
come
today,
plus,
to
be
perfectly
honest,
I'm
gonna
be
real
quick
if
I
don't
do
what
Serge
Bowl
Goff
tells
me
to
do
I
get
in
trouble
and
it
is
not
worth
the
trouble
because
I
like
him
he's
a
man
as
far
as
I
am
this
rent
has
proven
to
me
repeatedly.
Not
only
is
he
good
at
the
private
world
he's
real
good
at
the
social
world
too?
He
doesn't
just
take.
He
also
gives
back
a
lot
to
his
community
and
for
me,
I
think
that
deserves
a
shutout.
D
That's.
Why
he's
my
friend
there's
nothing
wrong
with
being
successful.
There
was
something
wrong
with
being
successful.
If
you
forget,
everybody
helped
you
get
there.
Serge
has
never
done
that.
He's
my
friend
I'm
happy
to
be
here
today
to
celebrate
his
success
and
the
success
of
his
pockets.
Thank
you.
E
It
grates
to
see
all
of
you
here
today
with
us
and
celebrate.
This
is
a
great
moment
with
us
today.
Every
great
achievement.
Every
great
project
has
one
thing
in
common,
and
that
is
team
that
stands
behind
it
and
I'm
proud
today
to
introduce
you,
the
team
that
stands
behind
1505
Commonwealth,
Avenue
I
will
start
with
them
on
being
wouldn't
happen
without
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
DF
prey
are
general
contractors.
Scott
prey
is
representing
right
here,
Scott,
my
dad
and
of
all
your
projects
throughout
all
your
life.
