INTRODUCTION
1.1
INTRODUCTION
The Boston 2024 team is delighted to submit our Key Venue Plan. We recognize that the Olympic Stadium, the Athletes’ Village and the International Broadcast Center/Main Press Center represent strategic anchors for the Games as well as important commitments of physical and nancial resources. Our proposals for these three anchors reect
our commitment to three fundamental planning principles: •
Put the athletes and the spor ts rst by offering a compact Games
•
Plan for meaningful and appropriate legacy in key infrastructure and venues — look forward to 2030 and “look back” to 2024.
•
Add value to the core of the city, building a consistently more livable, sustainable and innovative city.
The Olympic Stadium at Midtown, the Athletes’ Village at Columbia Columbia Point/UMass Point/UMass Boston and the IBC/MPC at the South Boston Waterfront form a triangle, the sides of which are approximately one mile. Each of these anchors is planned for legacy: •
At Midtown, key infrastructure improvements will be the catalyst for the legacy development development of a new mixed-use neighborhood in the heart of the city.
•
The Athletes’ Village will provide six thousand beds of legacy housing for UMass Boston, transforming the city’s only public research university into a residential campus with greater opportunities for teaching and research expansion.
•
The IBC/MPC at the South Boston Waterfront is in the heart of the innovation economy with a building infrastructure readily convertible for science and technology uses.
We are always open to your input and improvements. We look forward to your review of our submission and to making the Boston Olympic Plan even better.

Current Use
Obtaining the Land
What is the current use of the land/stadium?
What is the process required to obtain the land for development?
The ve principal parcels are used as follows: •
City of Boston uses 17.8 acres for public works storage, a parking garage salt shed and a tow lot.
•
Commonwealth of Massachusetts uses 2.0 acres Commonwealth for maintenance; the MBTA uses 23.1 acres for bus maintenance, fueling and washing and for train set maintenance; .85 acre controlled by Commonwealth of Massachusetts Highways is unused.
•
New Boston Food Market uses 20 acres for a wholesale food distribution facility. The New Boston Food Market is a cooperative, and the facility is currently underutilized and for sale.
•
ART Mortgage Borrower controls 4.7 acres which houses a cold storage facility related to the New Boston Food Market.
•
National Railroad Passenger controls a segment of rail bed totaling 1.4 acres. Access for Use
What access for use has been negotiated?
Boston 2024 has had detailed discussions with senior representatives of the Commonwealth, the MBTA, Amtrak and the City of Boston about relocation of existing facilities and overbuild of existing rail lines. Discussions have been positive with all involved agencies who are supportive of the planning initiatives.
6
The process for land assembly for the Olympic Stadium at Midtown will include several strategies: •
It is proposed that land currently controlled by the City of Boston and by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will be assembled by means of the expanded authority of existing public agencies or the creation of a new public agency dedicated to this task. Maintenance and service functions currently located on these parcels will be relocated off site in a consolidated configuration with other similar functions to achieve operational efficiency.
•
Privately held land will need to be purchased and consolidated with the surrounding public parcels under a single authority.
•
Air-rights above rail tracks used by both the MBTA and Amtrak will be secured, and those air-rights will be consolidated with the surrounding parcels under the same authority. Securing a Lease
For an existing stadium, what are the steps required to secure a lease for use?
Not applicable. Boston 2024 proposes new, temporary stadium constructio construction. n.

signicant community engagement with local elected ofcials, the surrounding neighborhood, as
well as business and institutional leaders. Owner after Completion
Who would own the stadium when completed or when would it be returned to the current owners/tenant?
Boston 2024 anticipates that the land and infrastructure improvements will be controlled by a public authority authorit y. All improvements will be controlled by the same authority for the duration of the 2024 Games. We anticipate that the northwest quadrant of the overall site may be developed prior to the Games

LEGACY
Planned Post-Games Use
What is the planned post-Games use?
Post-Games, the infrastructure improvements delivered as part of the Olympic Stadium development develo pment will be the catalyst for development of a new Midtown neighborhood, repairing the scar in urban fabric from the 19th and 20th century rail and highway construction. Transit improvements of heavy rail, improvements of I-93, interchange connections and the construction of an “overbuild” platform will form the foundation for signicant
mixed-use development. Over a series of phases, we envision retail, residential and ofce uses
developed by the private sector in a grid of streets with Olympic Boulevard as the spine. First phase of work will be conversion of below platform areas to parking, required as soon as possible to support the expanded Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Future phases will include “smart blocks” of mixeduse development with new streets, green open space, diversity of housing and opportunities for ofce and retail development within one mile of
South Station. Design for Post-Games
What is the design for post-Games use?
The transit infrastructure provided for the Olympic Games, including rail access to South Station, overbuild above MBTA tracks, public plaza space connecting to Fort Point Channel, and surrounding roadway improvements, will enable development of a new neighborhood in the heart of the city. In addition, approximately 2,000 parking spaces will be provided in the volume below the dismantled stadium to support the enlarged Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.

FINANCIALS
Contribution of Owner
What contribution will the owner/tenant make toward construction?
The stadium site will be controlled by a public building authority or agency, either existing or to be formed. Acquisition and improvements will be nanced by the issuance of bonds supported by value creation for private development - the rst
phase of which will be initiated before construction of the Olympic Stadium.
Turner has a long history in sports facility construction, beginning in 1909 with the company’s rst major sports project, the Promenade for
Harvard Stadium. Turner has since been recognized as an industry leader, providing services for professional and collegiate stadiums, ballparks, arenas, and training facilities, as well as speedways, racetracks and tennis centers.

Seating Capacity
a major local drain collector, is within the site limits. Construction Construction of the stadium venue will likely require relocation of a portion of this line. Relocation will include provision of direct connections to the facility storm water systems. The proposed rainfall management and treatment system for the venue will include facilities to treat runoff from roof, plaza plaza and paved areas and inltration features that will recharge the underlying groundwater table. Spill prevention functionality will be included at loading and service areas to protect the aquifer.
What is the proposed seating capacity for Games use?
The proposed seating capacity for the Olympic Games is 60,000. Existing Utility Infrastructure
What existing utility infrastructure would serve the stadium?
The proposed stadium location is in an area of the city well served by infrastructure. The areas to the west and east of the site are densely developed and supported by regional utility systems that traverse portions of the site or are located in public corridors at the perimeter of the site. • Water: Multiple water systems are available on
Frontage Road to the west of the site and Dorchester Avenue to the east of the site. As many as ve 12-inch looped water systems exist in immediate proximity to the site. These systems are cross-connected to the north and south of the site increasing system redundancy and reliability in the case of a break on any of the subject segments. The proposed stadium is anticipated to require approximately 170,000 gallons of water per day. Based on discussions with the Boston Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC), this can be accommodated accommod ated via the existing infrastructure. •
Sanitary Sewer : Sanitary sewer capacity in the
proposed stadium location is also robust. The site is bordered by two sanitary collectors that are directed to the main sanitary tunnel between the city and the Deer Island Regional Treatment Facility. Over the last decade, the BWSC has undertaken a program of separating sewerage and drainage in the areas to the south of the city center. In parallel, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority Authority (MWRA) has upgraded the regional collection system. These improvements have resulted in increased system capacity. BWSC indicates that capacity exists for the 170,000 gallons per day of anticipated wastewater wastewat er ow related to the stadium venue. •
Telecom/Data: Frontage Road and Dorchester Avenue,
immediately proximate to the site, include regional data loops that connect to long haul ber via local network switches in Boston.

Drainage : A portion of the Dorchester Brook Conduit,
Existing Roof Modications
For an existing stadium, what is the plan for the roof?
Not applicable. Boston 2024 proposes new, temporary stadium construction. Environmental Conditions
What are the existing existing site conditions? Provide a study of environmental conditions and water tables that could impact construction and/or costs.
Like much of the City of Boston, the site represents lled tidelands. The water table is at +10.0 with the approximate ground elevation sloping from +17.5 to +15.5 in respect to the Boston city base elevation.
All new permanent construction will require deep foundation technologies with which this planning and construction team has extensive experience throughout the city and particularly par ticularly in the South Boston Waterfront. The site conditions are diverse as the site has been used for multiple purposes: •
service and maintenance of MBTA buses and trains
•
service and storage of City of Boston Public Works vehicles
•
active retail lines
•
wholesale food distribution facilities.
We do not, however, anticipate unusual site contamination contamin ation issues, unusual mitigation schedule or cost requirements.

Accessibility
Seismology Study
What accessibility improvements have been included in your cost estimates?
Has a recent seismology study been conducted on your stadium or stadium location?
All cost estimates include design of full accessibility and compliance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board.
We have engaged Haley & Aldrich, the leading geotechnical engineering rm in Boston, to
provide both a preliminary seismology study and a preliminary evaluation of soil conditions. There are no unusual conditions in either category.

The Columbia Point/UMass Boston Precinct offers a prominent waterfront site ideally suited to host the Athletes’ Village. The area is well served by public transportation with access to the MBTA commuter rail, red line train service and bus connections via the JFK/UMass station. It is connected to Midtown by both the Olympic Route Network and immediate highway access via the Southeast Expressway (I-93).
The site enjoys generous access to Boston’s greatest asset - its waterfront. Adjacent to Joe Moakley Park,
the Athletes’ Village offers private athlete access to Carson Beach for the duration of the Games with unobstructed views over the Old Harbor back to the Olympic Stadium and the picturesque city skyline beyond. Additionally, abundant practice elds will
be available at Boston College High School, on the main campus of UMass Boston and at Columbus Park within Moakley Park.

Current Use
Obtaining the Land
What is the current use of the land?
What is the process required to obtain the land for development?
The principal parcels are used as follows: •
The City of Boston uses 57.43 acres as public park.
•
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts uses 46.6 acres to accommodate Kosciuszko Circle and Columbia Road which currently operate as a trafc interchange along Joe Moakley Park. The parcel al so includes incl udes a building bui lding occupied by the Massachusetts State Police.
•
The University of Massachusetts Building Authority owns 19.94 acres currently utilized as student parking. The Boston Bayside Expo Center is largely vacant and the university intends to demolish the structure to redevelop the site for campus expansion.
•
Santander Bank uses 13.61 acres for office and commercial.
•
184 units of “University Residences” are planned on the site next to the Corcoran Jennison ofce building on Mt. Vernon Street.
We intend to lease the propert y from the University of Massachusetts and expect that the remaining properties proper ties would be acquired by public authority or alternatively nanced with a private
developer for the planned student housi ng and residential development post Olympic Games. Following the Games, private developers would redevelop the parts of the Village not used by UMass for student housing as market rate multifamily and for-sale condominiums.

Construction Period
What is the proposed construction period?
The proposed construction period is as follows: •
Remediation + Site Preparation
6-12 months
•
Construction + Fit-out Fit-out for Olympic Games Games 36 months Environmental Conditions
What are the existing site conditions? Provide a study of environmental conditions and water tables that could impact construction and/or costs.
The existing site is occupied by a former convention/exposition center and over 1,300 asphalt surface parking spaces. The USDA Soil Conservation Service soil survey classies soils within the project site as Urban Land indicating that
greater than 85 percent of the site is occupied by impervious surface with parent material comprised of excavated and lled land. Like much of the City of Boston, the site represents lled tidelands. The water table is at elevation +11 feet from City of
Boston datum. All new permanent construction will require deep foundation technologies technologies and some select standard waterfront site engineerin engineering g practices with which this planning and construction team has extensive experience throughout the city. We do not anticipate unusual site contamination issues, unusual mitigation schedule or cost requirements. Developer Proposal
What is the development proposal?
The proposed Athletes’ Village will create a vibrant, mixed-use community on the Columbia Point waterfront. The residential program required by the Olympics will fulll the 6,000 dormitory
beds needed by the University of Massachusetts. The remaining 10,500 beds will be converted to approximately 2,500 - 2,900 market rate housing units and ground oor retail space. These units
will be high quality, sustainable and transportable housing units capable of being relocated to ll local
housing needs in neighborhoods around the city.

Facility. According to the discussions with the BWSC, there is available capacity for the 1 million gallons of wastewater ow expected from the Athletes’ Village. Capacity in this system is a result of system upgrades and regional sewer separation improvements.
Utility Infrastructure
What existing utility infrastructure would serve the Athletes’ Village? • Water: Multiple 12” water loops are available in close
proximity to the site on Morrissey Boulevard Boulevard and along Mount Vernon Street. Additional water mains are available on Dorchester Avenue in close proximity to the JFK/UMass MBTA station. The design will need to ensure that systems are cross-connected to maximize redundancy and capacity for domestic and re use. Initial estimates put water demand at about 1 million gallons per day for the Athletes’ Village. BWSC has indicated that this capacity exists in the current distribution system. •
Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary sewer facilities are available
on Morrissey Boulevard which runs through the site and along the north edge of the Bayside area where the MWRA Columbus Park Connector is located. The Columbus Park Connector is the primary sewer collector for this portion of Boston and directs ow to the Columbus Park Headworks, which is the last stop before the Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Treatment
•
Telecom/Data : Morrissey Boulevard, which traverses
this area, provides regional telecommunications and data service. If higher capacity global fiber is required, extension of service lines from the north will be necessary. •
Drainage : This area is in close proximity to Boston
Harbor. Boston Harbor is generally protected from dynamic wave action and storm surges by the network of harbor islands and Cape Cod. There There are multiple access points to provide drainage from the proposed Village areas to the t he harbor. Construction of the Athletes’ Athlete s’ Village will include inc lude a rainfall rai nfall management man agement and treatment system to treat runoff from roof, plaza plaza and paved areas and inltration features that will recharge the underlying groundwater table. The BWSC recently completed installation of a 12 foot by 12 foot drain interceptor in Morrissey Boulevard to improve local drainage system performance.

Post-Games Use
What is the planned post-Games use?
The Athletes’ Village will revitalize Columbia Point and create a vibrant, transit-oriented, mixeduse waterfront district. The master planned redevelopment redevelo pment of the site will unlock transportation barriers created by Kosciuszko Circle by reorganizing the infrastructure and linking the surrounding neighborhoods including Dorchester, Harbor Point, the University of Massachusetts Boston campus and the proposed Village to each other and to Carson Beach and Joe Moakley Park. The proposed Athletes’ Plaza will become a waterfront retail destination for the entire City of Boston. Joe Moakley Park, one of Boston’s largest public spaces, will be vastly improved as adjacent neighborhoods will enjoy
access to the sports complex and improved athletic elds. Increased capacity at JFK/UMass MBTA station
will improve access to the district.

Post-Games, the housing will be returned to 6,000 beds of student housing for University of Massachusetts Boston. The remaining units will be converted into approximately 2,500 - 2,900 units of market rate housing. Some units will remain on site and a large number will be relocated to Boston neighborhoods for workforce housing. Those areas currently under private ownership, such as the Santander Bank site, will be used for temporary support facilities and will be returned with improved infrastructure and value created for redevelopment. redevel opment. Additional Additional opportunities will also be created for the development of University of Massachusetts academic and research facilities.

Access Routes
Internal Roadways
What are the access routes to and from the proposed Olympic route network?
How will internal roadways t into the plan?
The Athletes’ Village is conveniently located along Morrissey Boulevard and just east of Interstate-93. In terstate-93. This site is approximately 1.25 miles from the proposed Olympic Stadium and 2.5 miles from the South Boston Waterfront Precinct. Access Access to a dedicated Olympic route network n etwork would occur along the east side of Morrissey Boulevard to Old Colony Avenue/Preble Avenue/Preble Street or directly to/from I-93 . Transport Mall
Where will the Transport Mall be located?
The internal roadways within the Athletes’ Village have been conceptualized in an urban grid with the scale of the Village street architecturally responsive to the context of our city. The plan draws on the city’s approved master plan for Columbia Point and the aspirations of the UMass Boston master plan so that the roadway and utility infrastructure will ultimately benet the legacy of the site as an academic campus and neighborhood. The alignment of the primary north-south roadway through the Village will ultimately service the future connection connection between Morrissey and Day Boulevards. Service and emergency access to all residential buildings will be provided by the internal roadway system. During the Games, this network will provide for internal shuttles to circulate through the entire site.
The Transportation Transportation Mall will be located on the former Santander Bank parking site, immediately accessible from the Olympic Lane network and proximate to athlete support facilities. ATH LE TE AR RI VAL SERVICE ARRIVAL TRANSPORT MALL

Financial Viability
Proposed Financing
Provide a market study indicating the nancial viability of the Village plan including including proposed proposed price ranges ranges for for units and proposed market absorption rate.
What is the proposed nancing for construction?
Prior to the acquisition by the University of Massachusetts Building Authority several years ago, the Bayside Expo site was the target of signicant developer competition as a multifamily housing site for its location proximate to downtown, waterfront access and transit connections. The real time vacancy for the entire BostonPads.com database of more than 100,000 apartments is only 2.5 percent. In addition, we are studying the oppor tunity to build high quality sustainable and transportable housing which can be relocated to other neighborhoods in the city where it will ll a current void in moderate-rate housing.
We expect that 6,000 beds of housing, which will provide the long-term housing for the University of Massachusetts Boston, will be nanced by the University or altern atively with a student housing owner/developer with a long term master lease provided by the University of Massachusetts. The remaining housing units will be nanced by a private development entity on the basis of the desirable legacy use with a long-term lease and a ground lease from the University.

In all options, the transit infrastructure provided for the Olympic Games is utilized including the planned rail connection between Beacon Yards (West Station) to the South Boston Waterfront.
Planned Post-Games Use
What is the planned post-Games use?
Both the IBC and MPC will be permanent buildings. We have planned IBC conversion for science, technology and innovation workspace for the Innovation District. The MPC will be designed to convert the 300,000 sf to ofce space supporting
the expanding Innovation District. The overall IBC and MPC planning strategy for the Olympic Games

Intended Tenants/Post-Games Use:
The IBC/MPC facilities will be converted to commercial uses following the Games to support suppor t the South Boston Waterfront’s growing innovation culture. The Seaport District 100 Acre Master Plan, and temporary support areas for the IBC/MPC will be returned to open spaces and development parcels. Improved public transportation, commercial and residential growth and the legacy of the Olympics in the distr ict would ideally position such parcels for innovative, cultural and community uses.

Anticipated Hurdles:
We will pursue omnibus state legislation to coordinate permitting at the local and state levels. This legislation will carefully consider land use, zoning, transportation, historic preservation, cultural celebration, environmental protection and economic benets to ensure the successful implementation and integration of Games infrastructure. Land control is an important consideration for this site; we are working closely with the owners to reach a mutually benecial arrangement.
