Bay City Seeks to Comply with Fair Housing Goals BY STEVE ADAMS BANKER & TRADESMAN STAFF

B

oston’s firstin-the-nation fair housing zoning law is already influencing key elements of the city’s largest proposed development, Dorchester Bay City, as Accordia Partners spells out how its affordable housing strategy

will exceed what’s typically expected in new projects. “Everyone was aware this was coming or if they weren’t, they should have been, especially given the moment,” said Kirk Sykes, Accordia’s co-managing director. “It’s a good time to create change, but we were trying to be innovative before we were required to be.” The fair housing zoning amendment which awaits final approval in early 2021 has shaped Accordia’s approach to affordable housing at its 34-acre Dorchester Bay

City – which could include 1,740 housing units – and how it can generate wealth for neighborhood residents through real estate ownership. Accordia and its partner Ares Management offer to contribute $10 million to an anti-displacement fund, potentially in partnership with a local nonprofit, to expand first-time homebuyer assistance programs. The focus on home ownership addresses one of the notorious findings of a 2015 Federal Reserve Bank of Boston

• The COVID-19 aid bill passed by Congress last week will allow small businesses with 300 or fewer workers hit hardest by the pandemic to take a second Paycheck Protection Program loan. Second-draw loans will be capped at $2 million. Borrowers can choose the time frame the loan will cover, anywhere between 8 and 24 weeks after the loan origination. The business owner must still use at least 60 percent of the loan on payroll costs to receive full forgiveness. • The bill also extends a simplified forgiveness process to loans under $150,000. The new process will require the U.S. Small Business Administration to create a one-page form for borrowers to certify the number of employees retained because of the loan, the estimated total amount of the loan spent on payroll costs and the total loan amount. The U.S. Small Business Administration and Treasury Department in October had created a similar process for borrowers with loans under $50,000. • Lenders in low- and moderate-income communities will also receive funding. According to a statement from the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services, minority depository institutions and community development financial institutions would receive $12 billion in emergency capital investment and support.

Cambridge Faces Fairness Test in Affordable Apartments BY SCOTT VAN VOORHIS BANKER & TRADESMAN COLUMNIST

D

espite being a city that prides itself as a bastion of liberal values, Cambridge is in peril of flunking a test of basic human decency next month. All over a measly three stories. Showing how they really know how to pick their battles, city zoning officials have thrown down the gauntlet over the height of a proposed apartment project in Porter Square. And the height, you ask? Well, if you are thinking “skyscraper,” or even “midrise,” you’ll be more than a bit disappointed. “Small-rise” would be more like it, for the apartment building proposed by Cornerstone Communities is all of 9 stories tall. But surely this must be another one of these grossly-overpriced, cookie cutter “luxury” apartment boxes, you say? After all, we’ve had enough of those. Far from it, actually. All of the nearly 50 units at the new, slated for 2072 Massachusetts Ave., where the 1-story Darul Kabab restaurant now stands, would be rented out at

below-market rates to middle- and workingclass families. Many would be two-bedroom, family-sized apartments of the type hard to come by in a market flooded with luxury, one-bedroom units pitched at young professionals.

Zoning Board Pushes for Less Height

To any reasonable person who hasn’t been living under a rock for the past 20 years, what we are talking about here are desperately needed units in a city where the average rent until recently was over $3,000 a month and where the median home price crossed the seven-figure mark years ago and has kept on rising.

First, roughly two-thirds of the letters and other comments sent to city officials reviewing the project have been in favor, according to the Cambridge Day, a strong showing of support in a vocal city. But that broad category apparently doesn’t include a majority of the Cambridge Board of Zoning Appeal, who see just another, stereotypical, “greedy” developer trying to push the envelope. Unable to see the forest from the trees, the board has effectively given the developers until Jan. 7 – when the hearing on the project

Affordable housing builder Cornerstone Communities has proposed a 50-unit, 100 percent-affordable apartment building just blocks from the MBTA’s Porter Square station, spurring opposition from neighbors.

is slated to resume – to shave as many as three stories and more than a dozen units from the project, the Cambridge Day reports. City Councilor Dennis Carlone, an urban planner and architect, said he was concerned about precedent, citing talk of another round of upzoning in Central Square, where maximum building heights were raised to 85 feet not too long ago. But Jim Monteverde, one of the zoning board members, took the cake, declaring: “I’m willing to sacrifice” the number of units in the building to achieve a lower height. A heroic gesture, it was definitely not. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that it’s not just Capstone Communities who’s being asked to “sacrifice,” but 14 middle and working-class families and other renters who would otherwise have found an affordable, decent place to live.

There’s good news here, though. First, roughly two-thirds of the letters and other comments sent to city officials reviewing the project have been in favor, according to the Cambridge Day, a strong showing of support in a vocal city. And city Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui backs moving ahead with the project as-is, even arguing for the project a recent, stronglyworded op-ed in the Cambridge Chronicle. She points out, among other things, that there is an 8 1/2-story building a block away. “This is a project that meets all the city’s major goals, and it should be applauded, not dissected,” she wrote. Some Zoning Board members also went on record in support of the project during a contentious, hours-long hearing on Dec. 10, with Tom Sieniewicz citing the “urgent need for afContinued on Page 10

Take Action on Equity in 2021

W

ith this interminable year almost behind us and vaccines promising an end to the COVID-19 pandemic by

fall 2021, many are eager to get back to their pre2020 normal. In at least one key respect, however, that would be a mistake. Amid the tragedy of 2020, we saw a glimmer of hope. This was the year much of the business community realized it was time for them to put their shoulders to the wheel in the fight against racism in Massachusetts. This was the year that finally put paid to the idea that being blind to race was enough when Americans of color often have to work harder and longer to achieve the same successes as white Americans. Many firms stepped up to the plate, whether through philanthropic efforts, political lobbying or in smaller ways within their own operations. But with the turning of the year and the passing of the pandemic, there is every danger that this year’s urgency will be forgotten. Without carrying the same passion that so many felt to act in June and July when confronted with the grotesque reality of our racist present, key changes won’t happen. Important conversations about lending practices will trail off. Reforms to recruiting and personnel policies will fizzle. When we’re able to safely resume in-person interactions, more experienced members of the real estate and banking fields will forget to consciously broaden the circles of people who they mentor. And, most critically, many older, whiter business leaders may not feel the same obligation to implement fixes when staffers come to them with evidence about racial disparities in their workplaces or in how their company does business. It’s steps like these that will be critical to building a more just society post-COVID; they will also be key towards making sure businesses are ready to compete as Massachusetts and America become more and more diverse. Let’s not let 2020 go to waste by taking concrete steps towards a more equitable future next year and in many years to come.

THE HOUSING SCENE

Could Less Parking Mean Cheaper Homes? Many Developments Have More than they Need BY LEW SICHELMAN SPECIAL TO BANKER & TRADESMAN

W

hen the conversation turns to the nation’s affordable housing crisis, the talk is usually about ever-higher house prices and the cost of regulations. Rarely does the discussion mention parking. But it should, says Brian O’Looney, author of the new book, “Increments of Neighborhood.” O’Looney says parking requirements drive up construction costs, “turning cities into storage areas” for our vehicles and keeping home prices “prohibitively high” for consumers. They add costs, not just terms of the actual parking, but also in the opportunity cost lost when parking displaces potential residential development, he told me in an email. The author says two-thirds of suburban land in commercial and retail areas is dedicated to parking. And since retail parking is designed for peak loads, lots run at only 45 percent to 50 percent capacity for most of the year. As O’Looney sees it, parking rules are “often more of a pseudoscience, with little to no statistical basis and more a political calculation.” He says changing parking requirements can increase commercial land values by 30 percent and lower development costs by 25 percent – or up to 30 percent in urban areas.

New Tool to Motivate Sellers

Whether or not homeowners are thinking about putting their places on the market, most of us wonder what our houses are worth. But we’re just as curious about what our neighbors’ homes would bring – particularly when the “For Sale” sign comes down and the “Sold” sign goes up. Now real estate agents are being offered a new tool that gives their clients a map showing recently sold houses in their areas, complete with the final sales price. You’ll have to connect with an agent who has the program, but most should welcome an inquiry because you could be their next client. The “Recently Sold” map is being offered by the Delta Media Group as part of its automated valuation page. It lists up to 10 sold listings within a 1.5-mile radius from the user’s address. Delta’s Michael Minard thinks it could go a long way toward solving real estate’s No. 1 challenge: the lack of inventory. “Brokerages are discovering that showing local homeowners the real final sales price – not just the asking price – can help motivate some owners to become sellers,” Minard says.

Getaway Sales Spike, Rentals Drop

Sales of vacation properties are soaring, according to the National Association of Realtors. But if buyers are intending to cover their costs by renting out their holiday digs, they could be in for a rude surprise – at least until the pandemic runs its course.

A report from Stock Apps, a financial education website, says the vacation rental market has taken an “enormous financial hit.” Worldwide, holiday rentals will be off by $35 billion this year, which is a drop of 42 percent from 2019, it says. Individual owners and small property management companies aren’t the only ones taking it on the chin. Outfits like Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia saw a 90 percent plunge in reservations as people stayed home, the company says. “The initial wave of COVID-19 caused massive cancellations of stays, with even the market’s biggest players witnessing colossal reservation drops,” said the report. Meanwhile, NAR says sales of houses intended as vacation getaways totaled 109,100 in the third quarter, a 44 percent jump from the same period last year. In comparison, the sale of primary residences rose just 13 percent over the same period. Not only were more second homes sold in the July-toSeptember period, they sold faster when compared to historical norms. Nearly 60 percent sold within one month. A year ago, only 25 percent sold that quickly. The norm is about 30 percent, says NAR economist Gay Cororaton. As usual, the vast majority of holiday houses were snapped up by Americans. But because of virus-imposed travel bans, the number of foreign buyers fell from 3 percent to less than 1 percent. Of those who did buy here, 13 percent came from Europe and 12 percent from were China.

Baby, Don’t Fear the Lender

Borrowers who want to refinance their mortgages to take advantage of record-low interest rates should not fear being turned down by a lender. According to a survey by LendingTree, 86 percent of all refi applications are approved. Of course, those whose houses have appreciated in value and have higher credit scores are more likely to be approved. But there are always exceptions and other factors that are considered, says Tendayi Kapfidze, the mortgage search engine’s chief economist. In the third quarter, refinances accounted for the majority of home loans, according to Attom Data Solutions. Lenders issued 1,955,668 residential refinance mortgages during the period, up 15.7 percent from the second quarter and 84.5 percent from the same period last year. Overall, lenders were busier than ever. “The housing market [is] still operating as if the recession brought on by the pandemic didn’t exist,” said Todd Teta, Attom’s chief product officer. “Buyers and owners, lured by low mortgage rates, kept lining up for loans at levels not seen in more than a decade.”

OPINION QUESTION MERITOCRACY

To Future-Proof Your Firm, You Must Reexamine Its Culture Too Often, Business’ Cultures Are Misaligned with Equity BY MALIA LAZU SPECIAL TO BANKER & TRADESMAN

T

oday more than ever – exacerbated but not caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and our national reckoning with racial inequity – Americans are loudly asking, how do we create a more fair, equitable union? Since the Occupy Wall Street movement 10 years ago, the wealth gap has been a centerpiece of our moral conversation. In response to pressure from both consumers and employees, as well as the simple fact that inequality hurts profitability, companies are making commitments to help, with charitable donations and more diverse hiring and vendor sourcing initiatives. But to achieve meaningful progress, we must confront an elephant in the room: Today’s corporate business culture is misaligned with equality. We all know that achieving any major goal requires sacrifice, a willingness to change and a long-term commitment to the true objective. Equality is no different. High-minded pronouncements about “injecting a moral compass” into the current ways of doing things does not address the actual work that needs to be done. One doesn’t start jogging today and expect to complete a marathon tomorrow. That said, there are obvious roadblocks that must be overcome for us get us to where we need to go.

Think Beyond the Short Term

First, short-termism – whether in our hiring, planning or execution – is antithetical to the long-term nature of how to build equity. Corporate leaders trying their best to figure out how to respond to this current moment in time often overlook the most obvious, effective long-term solutions simply because of the short-term sacrifice they

may require or short-term discomfort they may cause key stakeholders. Centering a social purpose, raising the minimum wage and increasing supplier diversity are all actions proven to drive long-term growth and productivity, yet they are almost immediately dismissed as infeasible or financially irresponsible. Second, prioritizing profits over people is still considered smart business, but only from a short-term perspective. If the majority of your consumer & employee base is sick, undereducated and in financial distress, how do you future-proof your profitability? According to recent studies, increasing the minimum wage increases productivity. Forward-thinking visionaries occupying C-suite roles and positions of leadership have the power to set and manage long-term expectations that will deliver superior outcomes, both for shareholders and our society at large. Just look at Nike’s decision to double down on Colin Kapernick. The controversial choice paid off: Nike claims $163 million in earned media, a 31 percent boost in sales and a $6 billion increase in brand value. Third, we need to challenge the facile belief that meritocracy – rather than who we know – is really what determines who we hire and promote. The cliche of the “good ol’ boy” network is an honest observation of how an elite class reinforced generational success through business relationships and opportunities. The “right” school, dinner club or fraternity can mean more than position competence. This lack of meritocracy lowers competition and continues to consolidate wealth and power to those who have been systematically included. Of course, this fiction bears no connection to reality.: For example, Black women are the most educated demo-

graphic in the country and women of color the most entrepreneurial, opening 89 percent of the new businesses in 2019. Yet they are under-represented in the management ranks of many financial institutions. It is time to take a long hard look at how we recruit, who we hire, how we hire, how we promote and what our true definition of success looks like. The meritocracy equation at a company may be flawed, but there are proven models to change this. Key Bank is an example of actualizing change with close to 60 percent of its hires being female and minority a goal reached with the help of a board and management team all above the norm for diversity (50 percent and 30 percent respectively). So here we sit at the beginning of 2021, on the corner of good intentions and action. We know to future-proof our companies, brands, profits and society, we need more equity and diversity. But instead of pushing it off on trainings, siloed departments or charity, let’s do what the best companies in the world know how to do: Create visionary strategy based on data and market understanding, following a well proven roadmaps. Then we must apply the necessary resources and budgets, while holding key stakeholders responsible, to ensure success on the ground, in our companies and communities. Responding to this moment in our history is more than pledges and platitudes, it’s redefining how we operate, acknowledging that investments and hard work in the shortterm will yield massive results and by making the commitment that building equity into culture will benefit us all. For the companies that get it right, the upside is massive.

New Report Surveys Systemic Threats to U.S. Economy Corporate Credit, Concentration in Fintech Highlighted by FSOC BY THOMAS J. CURRY, KATE HENRY AND ARMAND J. SANTANIELLO SPECIAL TO BANKER & TRADESMAN

Thomas J. Curry

Kate Henry

Armand J. Santaniello

T

he Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) released its 2020 Annual Report on Dec. 3. The FSOC, which was established by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, aims to (1) identify risks to the country’s financial stability arising from financial distress or the failure of bank holding companies and nonbank financial companies, (2) promote market discipline by mitigating shareholder expectations regarding government intervention in the event of losses and (3) respond to emerging threats to the stability of the U.S. financial system. The FSOC is chaired by the secretary of the treasury and members include the heads of the federal financial regulatory agencies and certain nonvoting state insurance and securities regulators. The report is the FSOC’s most current forecast of potential or emerging systemic economic threats. It focuses primarily on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. economy and makes recommendations based on particular issues faced by the financial sector in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic downturn.

Corporate Credit

The report notes that, despite a temporary decline in activity at the beginning of the COVID downturn in March, swift government intervention has caused debt financing to bounce back. Notwithstanding this positive news, the report also highlights the potential risks associated with the COVID downturn to the corporate credit market, including borrowers’ ability to service their obligations, the ability of market participants to absorb market losses from defaults and downgrades resulting from the COVID downturn, the willingness of market participants to continue to provide intermediation, and the potential strain that bank-

ruptcies would place on certain nonfinancial institutions, such as the U.S. judicial system. The FSOC recommends that agencies continue to monitor levels of nonfinancial business leverage and asset valuation trends, and assess the impact of fluctuation in the corporate credit market on the health and soundness of the broader financial market.

Fintech and Financial Innovation

Consistent with previous FSOC recommendations, the report acknowledges that financial innovation can offer substantial benefits to consumers and businesses. The COVID downturn accelerated the need for these benefits, as institutions are more frequently utilizing third parties to support remote work capabilities and maintain operational levels. While relationships with third-party providers may allow institutions to leverage technology (including fintech), reduce costs and increase efficiency, new risks and vulnerabilities must be acknowledged. For example, concentration risk – reliance by many institutions on a single vendor – could result in disruption in access to financial data and could impair the flow of financial transactions. The report encourages agencies to monitor and analyze the effects of new financial products and services on consumers, regulated entities, and financial markets, and evaluate potential effects on financial stability. The report also stresses continued coordination among financial regulators to support responsible financial innovation and competitiveness yet promote consistent regulatory approaches that identify and address potential risks.

Commercial Real Estate

The COVID downturn has left the commercial real estate sector vulnerable. The governmental implementation of lockdown orders and restrictions have heavily impacted certain segments of the CRE market, including hotels, restaurants, retail and offices. Distress in CRE properties makes creditor banks vulnerable to losses

and write-downs, which threatens to tighten credit and dampen economic recovery. Because of the large proportion of CRE loans held on banks’ portfolios – especially small and mid-sized banks – volatility and uncertainty in the CRE market could have a significant impact on the financial system as a whole. The report recommends that regulators continue to closely monitor the volatility occurring in the CRE market, and to encourage banks to continue to boost lossabsorption capacity by strengthening capital and liquidity barriers to sustain potential losses in CRE portfolios.

Cybersecurity

The report also discusses the pandemic’s impact on cybersecurity, as increasingly remote working environments have left financial services companies open to cyberattacks. Additionally, increased reliance on interconnected third-party technology increases the risk of systemic disruption. The report notes that a destabilizing cybersecurity incident has the potential to cause a disruption of irreplaceable key financial services, to cause market participants to lose confidence in the financial system, leading to withdrawal of funds or decreased activity, or to compromise the integrity of crucial data. The FSOC recommends that federal and state agencies monitor these cybersecurity risks, continue to implement examinations of financial infrastructures to ensure that they are prepared to sustain the risks inherent in an increasingly digital-dependent market, and work closely with private third-party technology providers to monitor cybersecurity risks. The report is a useful summary of the COVID downturn’s impact on the financial markets to date and will give incoming Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen a snapshot of financial stability risks. However, as discussed in our Nov. 22 Banker & Tradesman column, the Biden administration will have the opportunity to change many of the FSOC’s members and shift its focus to additional financial stability risks such as climate change. Yellen may also use a more robust FSOC as a vehicle to tackle other structural weaknesses and financial threats brought to light by the COVID-19 pandemic.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BUILDING EQUITY

A $10M Commitment for Anti-Displacement in Dorchester

As Feds Step Back, Boston Increases Oversight

Boston’s new zoning rules seek to revive the goals of the Obama administration’s affirmatively furthering fair housing regulation, which required local communities to submit reports on how their land-use policies discourage housing discrimination. The Trump administration revoked the rule in June, calling its 92-question grading tool costly and ineffective. District 1 City Councilor Lydia Edwards lobbied for Boston to add fair housing tests to its zoning, citing the rapid gentrification of her East Boston district in recent years. Median condo prices in East Boston have more than doubled since 2015 and the year-to-date median sale price hit $562,000 in November, according to The Warren Group.

Marcus Partners Proposes Office-Lab Development

M

arcus Partners will partner with minority- or women-owned architects and construction companies on a 228,000-squarefoot office and lab development in South Boston’s Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park. The Boston-based developer said it’s planning a 219,000-square-foot office-lab building on parcel O along with adaptive reuse of a 9,000-square-foot building on parcel P for amenity space for the new building’s tenants. Reflecting the Boston Planning & Development Agency’s recent commitment to bolster minority participation on publicly-owned development parcels, the developers plan to enter a joint venture on design as well as construction, and offer to provide an equity stake in the project to underrepresented investors of color and women, according to a notification form by Marcus Partners Principals Levi Reilly and Patrick Sousa. The two parcels are owned by the BPDA’s sibling agency, the Economic Development Industrial Corp. of Boston. Marcus Partners recently acquired the property from Au Bon Pain for $25 million and renegotiated the ground lease with the EDIC to reflect an anticipated larger income stream from the new uses. The new 70-year ground lease calls for payments of $2.2 million beginning in 2024, according to a BPDA memo.

At the same time, Edwards extracted larger affordability components from Suffolk Downs developer HYM Investment Group, including some negotiated the same day in September as the BPDA’s approval of the 10.5 millionsquare-foot project including 10,000 apartments and condos.

Continued from Page 1 study, which pegged the median net worth of Black Bostonians at $8. “The majority of anyone’s net worth is coming from real estate, but we haven’t had participation from people of color in the GI Bill and the challenges from redlining,” Sykes said. “Generational wealth can’t be accrued. We’re looking for diverse homeowners to address the wealth gap.” Median condominium sale prices in Dorchester have doubled since 2012, according to data from The Warren Group, publisher of Banker & Tradesman, and hit $490,000 in November. Accordia simultaneously is pledging additional financial contributions and stepped-up affordability guidelines for the on-site housing, to be built on the former Bayside Expo Center site and an office property on Morrissey Boulevard. Instead of the minimum 13 percent affordable units on-site, Accordia started off with a 15 percent floor, equating to 261 units. The average income maximum for those units will be set at 60 percent, or $57,150, compared with the standard 70 percent. And it’s offering to front-load its $56.4 million housing linkage payment – which is $17.2 million higher than required – to be paid at the issuance of building permits, rather than being spread over seven years.

A ‘Predictable’ Guide for Developers

Sonal Gandhi, the BPDA’s deputy chief of staff, said the new rules will provide developers with “clear, consistent, predictable and fair” guidelines on what is required of them to gain approvals.

Projects in neighborhoods with high displacement risk or a history of exclusion would face additional requirements, such as restrictions on non-owner-occupied units. To gauge displacement risks by address, the BPDA will furnish developers with neighborhood data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey including percentage of renters and subsidized housing units, median income, percentages of incomerestricted housing stock and household sizes. Developers, in turn, will be required to provide a two-year snapshot of the property’s history, including whether the property is occupied by either residential or commercial tenants, current vacancy rate and any evictions or other reasons for tenants’ recent departures. Prior to approval, developers will be required to pick at least one out of 10 “intervention options” to meet fair housing goals, such as providing more affordable units than the city’s standard 13 percent minimum, lowering the qualification for affordable units below the standard 70 percent of area median income

Accordia Partners’ proposed Dorchester Bay City is an early test of the steeper requirements placed on developments by the city’s fair housing zoning amendment.

and including more three-bedroom units to grow the city’s stock of family housing. And developers are required to pick at least one marketing strategy for diverse populations, such as preferences for housing voucher holders or first-time homebuyers. Projects in neighborhoods with high displacement risk or a history of exclusion would face additional requirements, such as restrictions on nonowner-occupied units. The fair housing amendment has sailed through unanimous votes of the city council and Boston Planning & Development Agency directors, and now awaits final approval by the Boston Zoning Commission.

Enhanced Help for First-Time Homebuyers

Sykes said a potential partner in the antidisplacement fund is Dorchester-based Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance, which offers a two-year-old first-time home-

buyer assistance program offering matching grants to buyers earning 100 percent or less of the area median income. The program received grant funding from Boston Children’s Hospital and the city of Boston. Residents who attend a first-time homebuyer course are eligible for grants of up to $7,500 toward housing purchases in Boston. The program currently has 150 participants and has contributed to 11 home purchases with average prices of $392,000 since its launch in 2019. “Most everyone wants to stay in the city,” said Symone Crawford, MAHA’s director of home ownership education. “Unfortunately, the housing crisis is just not allowing people to realize that dream. Having developers be responsible for and be part of the solution, instead of part of the problem, the better it will be for people who have been systematically disenfranchised.”

IN PERSON

Community Banker Now Leads Credit Union

Q: Why did you decide to take the role at Naveo Credit Union? A:

When the opportunity presented itself, and I did some research on the credit union, it really just felt like a great fit for me. I had worked the majority of my career in community banking. The mission of saving together to lend to each other really spoke to me. The credit union has a very diverse and talented team of employees. They live the mission every day, and I just felt really fortunate to be able to have the opportunity to lead this credit union and to be able to help the community and the members – businesses and individuals – achieve their dreams and financial goals. This has been a wonderful career opportunity for me that I’m very much looking forward to. I feel like I can bring a lot to the growth of the credit union with my leadership skills. My goal ultimately is to be able to move the credit union forward in growth and create employment opportunities for our team members through training, to be able to provide services that the community needs, to be part of that community and to do it in a financially sound manner.

Q: How have the staff reacted to having a new leader from outside the credit union industry? A:

They’ve been really, really wonderful and supportive. My goals are very much aligned with that of the credit union. I think that they feel that I’m here to move forward the goals of the credit union to help the community, to help the members. Even though I came out of banking, I came out of the community banking side. What makes me feel fulfilled in my career is the mission of the credit union. I’m not coming in here with ultimate goals to do anything different other than to further the credit union mission and to continue to help the community through financial services.

Q: What are your top priorities as leader? A:

My priorities are employee and team engagement – to work closely with the staff that we have here through training and development, being able to create opportunities for the employees within the credit union; community support and engagement – to be engaged in the community, to further the mission of Naveo in the community, to continue to help our field of membership with their financial needs; and ultimately financial growth and strength of the credit union so we can continue into the future to move forward and to continue that mission.

Q: What future plans do you have for Naveo? A:

To continue to meet the needs of our community. My plans are to expand our member business loan offerings to be able to reach that segment of our community – the small business owners – and mortgage lending and consumer lending. Also, to expand our technological offerings, whether that be through branches with technology, whether it be through being able to reach our members through technology. 2020 was definitely an interesting year where we had to be a little bit creative in how to reach those members.

Q: What are some challenges and opportunities Naveo faces as a small credit union? A:

ANDREA WHITE

2020 has certainly been difficult for everybody. It’s been a balancing act of trying to continue to move forward to provide services to our members – safely and prudently – and trying to keep our employees safe at the same time. That’s been very challenging. We’re relatively small, and if we get hit with COVID, it can create a lot of issues with having a limited staff to begin with.

Title: President and CEO, Naveo Credit Union Age: 55 Industry experience: 37 years

BY DIANE MCLAUGHLIN BANKER & TRADESMAN STAFF

A

ndrea White had never worked at a credit union before October, when she became president and CEO of Somerville-based Naveo Credit Union. But for White, her career in community banking – which started I’m not coming in here when she had a summer job as a with ultimate goals to teller during college – has prepared her to lead the $156 million-asset do anything different Naveo. She took over for long-time other than to further the CEO Rui Domingos, who left Naveo credit union mission earlier this year to become head of MIT Federal Credit Union. and to continue to help Naveo was previously called the community through the Cambridge Portuguese Credit financial services. Union, and the Portuguese community and culture remain its backbone, White said, even as the organization has expanded with a diverse membership. White most recently worked at Freedom National Bank in Rhode Island.

From an opportunities standpoint, I think the interest rate environment has been really favorable this year for members who have been able to refinance their existing mortgages. We’ve been very busy with that, and our lending team has done a tremendous job helping our members with mortgage refinances and home purchases. We also took part in the Paycheck Protection Program, and we were able to help our business members with funds through that PPP program. In the short-term, COVID’s been challenging, but we’ve had some opportunities to really help our members, with their lending needs, especially small businesses.

Q: Did working with the PPP influence your plan to expand business loan offerings at Naveo? A:

I wasn’t here during the processes of those PPP loans, but I have a strong background in small business lending, in addition to being very well rounded in the financial services industry. We’re talking small ones, not large businesses, but the types of members that we have here that have a small business with borrowing needs like any other person or business.

Q: What are your thoughts on being the first female CEO at Naveo? A:

Naveo has really had a commitment to diversity in its hiring practices. Although I am the first female CEO, I am very proud to say that Naveo has a proven history of accepting and valuing the differences that a diverse workforce provides and the value that it brings to Naveo and the community. So, although I am the first female CEO, I feel that the diversity that the credit union has had a commitment to is just another part of that. I feel like I am very much a part of that inclusive culture.

BANKING & LENDING BREAKOUT MOMENT

Groups Hope to Grow Fintech ‘Silicon Valley’ in Massachusetts Greater Coordination, State Support Seen as Next Steps doing some really great things inside their institutions and partnering externally,” said Julieann Thurlow, president and CEO of Reading Cooperative Bank. “The more that we can create those partnerships, that ensures that financial institutions will be robust and be competitive.”

W

ith the pandemic shining a light on the struggles unbanked and underbanked individuals, households and business owners faced during the economic crisis, the financial services industry has an opportunity to look for ways to make the system more inclusive. “I think what spurs out of COVID is this whole new set of people coming in because they now see problems at a very different level than we experienced when the economy was good,” said Mike Fanning, head of MassMutual’s U.S. operations and co-chair of a fintech working group. “That’s just going to probably fill the top of the funnel with new ideas that we couldn’t have even imagined pre-COVID.” And Fanning and others want to make sure these ideas get developed in Massachusetts. Stakeholders in financial services, financial technology and government have been exploring how to develop the local fintech ecosystem and make Massachusetts the world’s top destination for fintech startups. Part of that ecosystem would include the state’s community banks and credit unions, giving them access to entrepreneurs working to address the financial system. “There’s some really great banks that are

Coalescing the Ecosystem

Globally, fintech investments increased from $8 billion in 2010 to $110 billion in 2019, according to an October report conducted on behalf of the Mass Tech Collaborative by Ernst & Young LLP. The report also found that Massachusetts has more than 350 financial technology startups, and last year 9 percent of new U.S. fintech startups were located in the state.

Massachusetts has more than 350 financial technology startups, and last year 9 percent of new U.S. fintech startups were located in the state. “That’s without even trying,” Fanning said of the findings. The state did begin recognizing the economic potential of fintech following a 2018 study by the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development into ways to grow the state’s innovation economy. The study identi-

With a preexisting network of financial services firms, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs, industry boosters say Massachusetts could become one of the world’s top destinations for fintech startups.

fied fintech as an area for further support and attention. A working group was founded in 2019, co-chaired by Fanning and EOHED Secretary Mike Kennealy, to develop a strategy for expanding fintech and, in turn, financial services in the state. Thurlow, Lamont Young of Citizens Bank, Vasilios Roussos of the DCU FinTech Innovation Center and Siobhan Dullea of MassChallenge are among the working group’s 24 members. Massachusetts already has a combination of assets that make it almost unique compared to other places with fintech startups, Fanning said, including financial services firms, venture capital, a network of entrepreneurs, universities, fintech incubators and state and regulatory agencies supportive of the innovation economy. What the state needs now is a way to coor-

dinate these independent pieces, Fanning said, adding that Massachusetts has an advantage over other cities because of its potential to bring the different parts of the ecosystem together. “You see this on the consumer side in Silicon Valley, between venture capital and mentorship and others that are there to create that ecosystem where entrepreneurs can thrive,” Fanning said. “I think we have the opportunity to do the same thing – it’s about getting these pieces to talk.”

Partners, Not Disruptors

Sarah Biller, co-founder of FinTech Sandbox, a not-for-profit organization providing data to startup firms, said that much of the past decade of fintech innovation involved disrupting the industry. But what has been more effective, she said, are the partnerships between financial services and entrepreneurs. Continued on Page 10

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE POPULARITY CONTEST

Demand for Space, Home Offices Set to Drive 2021 Market Buyer Tastes Whipsawed by Pandemic BY JAMES SANNA BANKER & TRADESMAN STAFF

B

uyer tastes did not escape being influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and Realtors and brokers say many of those changes look set to continue to influence the market in 2021. “What really surprised me is how quickly behavior changed,” said Jack Conway & Co. President & CEO Carol Bulman. “In December 2019, people wanted an open floorplan, they wanted to be close to the city, no one was concerned about having to use an elevator. But now those properties are sitting on the market longer.” From condominiums in the urban core to single-family homes in the suburbs, many buyers were hunting for more space, whether that was indoor elbow room or a yard to run around in. “People had been saying they wanted more manageable, more affordable homes. That changed because people say, ‘I’m going to be spending more time in my home,’” said Kurt Thompson, a broker associate with Keller Williams Realty / North Central in Leominster and the 2020 president of the Massachusetts Association of Realtors. “[Pre-pandemic], 1,000 to 1,200 square feet was a very common square footage for first-time buyers. I’m seeing that now push towards 1,400, 1,600 square feet. People say ‘I need a home I can

expand [my family] in or a place where I work from home or just more space if I’m going to continue to be confined.’”

More Elbow Room

Inside the home, every agent or broker interviewed for this story said, much of that extra square footage has gone to an extra bedroom that can be used as an office or a “Zoom room” for children whose schools are teaching remotely or in a hybrid in-person/remote model. Outside the home, that same desire has translated to single-family buyers putting a premium on yards and what can be done with them – “I know of pool companies that were booking out into 2021,” Waltham-based Lamacchia Realty Realtor Matt Czepiel said, a 180-degree reversal after years where pools almost carried a stigma among buyers for their maintenance costs – and condo buyers seeking out properties with some form of private outdoor space, however small. “I think people just want more space than what they’ve had or what they’ve needed in prior years. They might trade off a little bit of quality for outdoor space,” Czepiel said. “I’ve had some clients who’ve said, ‘If [a condo] doesn’t have a deck I’m not looking at it,’ and they can get away with it in the first time in a while.” Brookline-based Gibson Sotheby’s Unlimited principal and Managing Broker Jon Ufland said his agents have had many buyers who value outdoor kitchenettes and structures or porches that extend how long a home’s yard can be used throughout the year.

Porter Square Faces Opposition Continued from Page 3 fordable housing” and calling it a “question of social justice.” So, what’s really driving this push by some city officials to give a haircut to this desperately needed affordable apartment building? Well, it’s the neighbors, of course. They are up in arms over what they say is a dearth of parking for the project, saying it would be “too dangerous” – in the words of the Cambridge Day – to add another 200 residents to already-congested Porter Square. While the building has just three parking spaces, is also within a short walk from the Porter Square MBTA station. After all, isn’t that what transit-oriented development is all about? I’d imagine that even if half those residents had cars, it would be a drop in the bucket, if

that, in terms of the overall volume of traffic that passes through Porter Square each day, to visit its shops and restaurants, or just to pass through. And, of course, the neighbors definitely don’t like the height, with one letter writer warning the 9-story building would “tower” over adjacent buildings. I’d bet there would be hundreds if not thousands of families of working-class and middle-class families who would be willing to risk the dangers of living in Porter Square – who knew? – in exchange for a decent, affordable place to live. It’s time for Cambridge to end this farce and do the right thing.

While it may be too soon to tell if the trend lasts, agents say buyers seem to be moving away from open-plan homes where families cooped up together by the pandemic can’t get away from each other.

“If you think about it, [these spaces were] really the only way when we ever got to see our friends, to hang out outside and socially distance” during the year, he said.

Open Plan on the Outs

Once a hot commodity thanks to their value as entertaining spaces and their ability to connect family members on the same floor, openplan first floors appear to be losing popularity, Realtors said. More than a few buyers he helped looked for open-plan homes that still had the ability to close off areas into offices, Ufland said. This need for a separate office could be a lasting feature of the market. Many white-collar buyers seem to have faith that remote work will be a part of their lives, at least for part of the week, for some time, he said. This faith helped some buyers feel comfortable with buying single-family homes further away from work but closer to family or further into the suburbs where homes are more

affordable, Czepiel said. It also drove demand for home office space in condominiums. “If their family is west [of Boston], they will start looking west instead of the North Shore if they had been looking North Shore previously,” he said. “Pre-COVID one of the most important things was commute, and now it’s one of the least important things for my clients. That was the biggest change.” These sudden changes in buyer tastes could put some homes at a disadvantage, however. Buyers are still putting a premium on recently renovated homes, Jack Conway’s Bulman said. “I think the buyer today is less interested in pulling down wallpaper and doing over the cabinets. If anyone’s looking to sell right now, they should focus on kitchens and bathrooms,” she said. “The best thing to do is to speak to their Realtor and ask them for an honest opinion: I have $20,000 to spend, what should I do?”

Smith Named Cape Ann President

C

ape Ann Savings Bank will have a new leader next summer when Marianne Smith takes over as president from Robert J. Gillis Jr., who will retire after more than 45 years at the Gloucester-based bank. President since 2017, Gillis will retire on July 30, the bank said in a statement. Cape Ann Savings Bank’s board of trustees named Smith to succeed him. She is currently the bank’s executive vice president and chief financial officer. After working at the bank as a teller in the late 1980s, Smith rejoined Cape Ann Savings Bank as vice president and treasurer in 2013. She has over thirty years of banking and regulatory experience. Smith has worked as a bank examiner with the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks

and in accounting and finance positions at multiple local institutions. She is board president of the Cape Ann YMCA, an advisory board member of the Massachusetts Bankers Association Women in Banking, a board member of the DDS North Shore citizen’s advisory board, as well as an avid supporter of the organization, Autism Speaks. “Marianne and I have worked closely together since I became president of the bank in January of 2017,” Gillis said in the statement. “She brings numerous skills to the table and a great work ethic. I am proud to have had the opportunity to work with her since she arrived at the bank more than seven years ago and am confident that she is the right leader for the organization for years to come.”

Local Banks Seen as Winners as Fintech Grows Continued from Page 9 “Rising tides are going to lift all of our ships,” Biller said in a joint interview with Fanning, who recently joined FinTech Sandbox’s advisory board. “When the institutions come together with the entrepreneurs, and we’re able to retain the amazing talent we have in our universities – and the capital comes to bear at the table too – we’ll do great things.” Thurlow with Reading Cooperative Bank said fostering these partnerships provides win-win situations for fintechs and financial services providers, particularly as a way to keep more banking products and services in a regulated environment. Being part of fintech ecosystem will be especially important as the industry accepts that change will be needed in banking.

“Innovation is always evolving, and it actually comes about because of friction, so wherever you find friction there’s an opportunity to innovate,” Thurlow said. “For years everybody expected banking services to be delivered in one way, and the pandemic has just identified for us that that’s not the case.” Biller expects Massachusetts fintech firms to focus on solving societal problems brought to light by the pandemic. “The commonwealth has been known for its ability to create breakthrough ideas in biotech and in life sciences,” Biller said. “And now we’re really excited that financial services also has its moment to actually break out and be a place where great problems are solved.”

Food Hall, Theater Endorsed for Nubian Square DECEMBER 28, 2020

S H A R E D S PA C E

A diverse development team will lead the 329,000-square-foot development of a 2-acre city-owned parking lot in Roxbury’s Nubian Square into a new retail and cultural hub. Nubian Ascends Partners proposes a ground-floor artisan marketplace, cultural hall and theater, a food hall with products from an on-site culinary arts program and a floor of subsidized commercial space for local businesses. Plans also include 15 artist live-work housing units and a 5,500-square-foot art studio. The ground floor would be capped with 135,000 square feet of office space spread over five stories, which the developers plan to finance separate from city or state subsidies and which will be used to help fund the rest of the project. The Boston Planning & Development Agency’s directors approved the tentative designation of Nubian Ascends Partners, clearing the way for the team to begin preparing its formal submission. The partnership includes developer Richard Taylor, the director of Suffolk University’s Center for Real Estate, Kai and Chris Grant of Roxbury economic development group Black Market, and Mario San Jacinto of Almiranta Capital LLC.

BPDA Clears Way for 802 Housing Units Developers received Boston Planning & Development Agency approval for 802 housing units, including 378 compact living-style apartments at a pair of properties in Allston and Dorchester. Developer LBC Boston’s Allston Green development at 20 Linden St. will include 349 compact living apartments in three buildings, including 53 income-restricted units. Developer LBC Boston estimates that the cost savings from the smaller unit sizes will enable it to offer apartments at $300 below average rents for similar new projects in the neighborhood, while offering more expansive common areas, outdoor amenities and ground-floor art co-working space next to six artist live-work units. Dorchester-based TLee Development is planning to build 29 compact living apartments in a fivestory building at 1463-1469 Dorchester Ave. The project was not required to include on-site parking because of its proximity to the Fields Corner station on the MBTA Red Line, but will provide 30 bicycle storage spaces along with a 1,360-square-foot ground floor retail space. More than 1,200 compact living units in 14 developments have been approved under the city’s pilot program since 2018.

Coliving Seeks IMMUNITY FROM VIRUS Boston Developers Remain Believers in New Multifamily Model

BY JAY FITZGERALD SPECIAL TO BANKER & TRADESMAN

L

ocal developers of innovative housing insist the coliving trend has not succumbed to the risks of COVID19, despite reports of its demise. Industry players agree that the multifamily rental market has taken a major hit in some urban areas around Greater Boston and across the nation, as many college students stay home and a few tenants flee cities for the perceived safety of the suburbs during the pandemic. Combined with the recent economic downturn, apartment vacancy rates have risen and rental prices have softened significantly as a result. The sharp decline has led some to question whether so-called “coliving”

ventures – or housing projects in which renters share spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, common areas and other amenities in exchange for lower rent prices – can survive the pandemic and the shift toward socially distanced work and living arrangements. But local developers behind two coliving projects in Boston – 7Ink in the South End and Common Allbright in Allston – says they’re proceeding with their plans and have every intention of opening in coming years. Meanwhile, operators of coliving units in other cities say their “shared living” dwellings around the country, including in New York and San Francisco, performed better than expected even during the height of the pandemic. Continued on Page B7

Among the recent design changes to 7Ink, according to Tye: more operable windows, improved air filtration, adding smaller meeting rooms, additional spacing in gathering areas and investing more heavily in our outdoor areas.

Managing director of development, Trinity Financial AGE:

46 INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE:

25 years

A Growing Northeast Footprint in Housing Production BY STEVE ADAMS BANKER & TRADESMAN STAFF

Q: What was the impetus for Trinity’s entry into the New York City market in 2013?

We’re big proponents of mixed-income. We want to make sure the redeveloped properties are set up for long-term success and financial viability. Mixed-income is the way to do that. A lot of the problems you see with public housing historically is because they’ve been just that: limited to units that serve only the most distressed or lowest-income members of the community, and a public housing program that has over time invested less and less into upkeep.

A:

Our business strategy has always been to diversify geographically, but do it in a way that we can have a real presence in the communities that we work in. We’re not a firm that’s looking to go national or expand too far, or depend on others to be our boots on the ground. So within those constraints, New York made sense geographically. The challenges there are that it is an insular market and we knew in order to make a real run at it, we needed to do our homework and set up a foundation before expanding. On the plus side, in the affordable housing universe, a lot of folks we’ve done work with in other locations have a New York presence and we could build on existing relationships. It was serendipitous as we were ramping up those conversions, the New York City Housing Authority issued a request for proposals for Randolph Houses in Harlem, an existing asset they were looking to bring on a private partner to redevelop. At the time, NYCHA wasn’t really known for this model of redevelopment. It was sort of a feeler for how they would incorporate this into their portfolio, and Trinity has experience in other locations. There were historic tax credits involved and a strong and well-established resident association, and all of those things are part of our formula. This seemed like the perfect op to throw our hat in the ring.

Q: How does that project compare with your ongoing transformation of the Orient Heights property in East Boston?

A:

There are a lot of similarities. One of the differences between Boston and New York is just the scale of things, the larger universe of development happening, where in Boston something like this would be a big piece of the pipeline, and in New York it’s sort of a drop in the bucket. To bring creativity about how to approach it, we figured out a way to preserve enough of the existing structure to qualify for historic tax credits. We were the only team to suggest that and be able to pull that off. One of our core business principles is the care that we take in our projects and I think the city was relieved they didn’t have to worry about bad press from disgruntled residents who would be mistreated in the redevelopment.

Q: What has Trinity’s experience in these mixed-income conversions taught the firm about best practices to

A:

apply to current projects?

Phase two was just completed earlier this year and is leasing up, and we’ll move into phase three next year. This is an approach that we have employed throughout the history of the company.

In redeveloping these properties, income-mixing is key to make sure there’s not an overreliance on public dollars. That goes up and down, and can change from one administration to the next. The challenge is correcting the perception of these developments, because of time and lack of investment they’ve fallen into disrepair. There’s quality of life and crime issues. Each community has its own set of challenges.

Q:How do you overcome those perceptions when marketing the new units? A:

One is just the quality of construction. We want to make sure the units are comparable. We’ve been aggressive about incorporating sustainability and green technologies that get passed onto residents in reduced energy costs. And there’s clearly initially some discount against top-of-the-market units, so you’re getting as good or better than other units at a better price point. It also comes down to the people working on the site – the community managers and maintenance and resident service folks – working really hard to create a sense of community that is inclusive and appeals to a wide array of residents. We manage them to the high standard of market-rate housing.

Q:Cities, In evaluating developments in Massachusetts’ Gateway what are your criteria? A:

There’s a handful of Gateway Cities that have been actively prospecting. We’re active in Lawrence, Worcester, Brockton and also done some work in Lowell. The factors we look at are the leadership and vision of the administration there: Do they have a plan or at least a willingness to work with developers? Do they have a strong planning department? A streamlined or efficient approach to permitting? And access to transit is another one. We’re big proponents of transit-oriented development. And then it’s looking at the underlying economics: Do we see growth potential? As a company, we aren’t shy about being first in. But we want to at least see a progression or a possibility, so our investment will remain sound going forward.

Trinity Financial is finding opportunities to expand its portfolio through partnerships with housing authorities in Boston and New York that are redeveloping public housing properties into mixed-income communities. This month, the New York Housing Conference named Trinity Financial its 2020 Developer of the Year for its “community-driven” approach to urban housing projects. The group praised Trinity’s diverse team for delivering highquality projects and its commitment to the communities they serve. The company first entered the New York market in 2013 with a redevelopment of the Randolph Houses public housing complex in Harlem, and opened a Manhattan office in 2015 that’s overseen a total of 1,110 housing units’ construction with total investment of $661 million. Closer to home, Trinity marked the completion in November of phase two of the Overlook Terrace at Orient Heights project. The partnership with East Boston Community Development Corp. demolished 87 units in four buildings at the Boston Housing Authority-owned property, while constructing 88 public housing apartments and townhomes.

LAW OF THE LAND TIMING IS EVERYTHING

SJC Issues Landmark Ruling on Condos Statute of Repose Key to Hingham Dispute BY CHRISTOPHER R. VACCARO SPECIAL TO BANKER & TRADESMAN

D

efense attorneys appreciate statutes of limitations, but truly love statutes of repose. The differences between such statutes seem arcane and technical to most people, but to attorneys the differences are huge. Statutes of limitations and statutes of repose both serve similar purposes; namely, to protect potential defendants from having to answer lawsuits filed many years after their alleged wrongdoing. As years pass between the dates when defendants’ misconduct occurs and when plaintiffs file their lawsuits, it becomes harder for defendants to gather exculpatory evidence and witnesses.

of repose works well for developers, contractors and architects, but not so much for owners of residential condominium units. A homeowners’ association (HOA) learned this last month in D’Allessandro v. Lennar Hingham Holdings LLC.

Trouble at Hewitts Landing

Hewitts Landing Condominium consists of 150 residential units in 28 buildings, developed in 24 phases between 2008 and 2015. In 2017, the condominium’s HOA filed suit against the developer in Superior Court, alleging design and construction defects in the project’s decks, roofing, exterior walls and irrigation system. The developer removed the case to federal court, then argued that the Massachusetts statute of repose barred the suit for defects in six buildings that were completed more than six years before the HOA’s suit was filed in 2017. The developer argued that the statute’s six-year time limit should begin to run separately for each building upon completion, so that the HOA’s suit would be dismissed as to those six buildings. The federal court rejected the developer’s argument. It ruled that all phases of the condominium should be treated as a single improvement for purposes of the statute of repose, and the six-year period for all phases did not begin to run until 2015, when the last building was completed. However, the federal court recognized that its ruling required an interpretation of Massachusetts state law, and there was no controlling Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court precedent on this issue. The federal court certified a question to the SJC on whether the sixyear period begins to run multiple times upon completion of each building, or only once upon completion of the last building.

A noteworthy Massachusetts statute of repose requires that lawsuits arising from construction or design defects in buildings and improvements must be commenced within six years after the buildings and improvements are completed. But statutes of limitations can be tolled (that is, suspended) for various reasons, such as when plaintiffs are unable to realize that they have been injured or to determine who might be responsible for their injuries. In contrast, statutes of repose cannot be tolled for any reason. They impose absolute time limits on when plaintiffs can sue potential defendants. Statutes of repose bar plaintiffs’ claims after the statutory period expires, even when plaintiffs’ injuries do not occur or are not discovered within that limited timeframe. A noteworthy Massachusetts statute of repose requires that lawsuits arising from construction or design defects in buildings and improvements must be commenced within six years after the buildings and improvements are completed. The time limit applies even if the defects were undiscoverable during the six-year period. This statute

SJC Calls on Legislature

The SJC answered this question in favor of the developer, stating that “where a condominium development is comprised of multiple buildings, . . . each building constitutes a discrete ‘improvement’” for purposes of the statute of repose, and “the opening of each individual building to its intended use, or the substantial comple-

State legislators are considering changes to a law that sets limits on the window during which lawsuits can be filed for defects in developments.

tion of the individual building and the taking of possession for occupancy by the owner or owners, triggers the statute of repose.” As a result of the SJC’s ruling, the HOA is barred from maintaining its lawsuit on defects in the six buildings completed more than six years before it filed suit in 2017. The SJC recognized that its decision imposes difficulties on unit owners when developers retain control of HOA’s for years after completing the first buildings of phased projects. The SJC noted that HOAs have the exclusive right to sue for defects to common areas, and developers who control HOAs are unlikely to sue themselves. However, the SJC recommended that this concern be addressed

by the Massachusetts state legislature, not the courts. As it turns out, the state legislature is now considering a bill amending the statute of repose, which would postpone the start of the six-year statutory period at least until both the last phase of a condominium is complete or phasing rights expire, and control of the HOA transfers from the developer to the unit owners.

WORDS OF WARNING

Failure to Protect Renters Will Imperil Entire Economy Federal Aid to Renters Will Prevent a New Housing Crisis BY ROBERT E. DEWITT SPECIAL TO BANKER & TRADESMAN

A

s we approach winter, we are living through an alarming spike of coronavirus cases, and while a vaccine has been approved in record time, it will likely take several Robert E. DeWitt months to reach all Americans. While we remain vulnerable, our economy – both nationally and here in Massachusetts – is lagging. In order to stave off a wholesale crash and the distress that comes with it, we must do everything in our power to keep apartment residents current on their payments and ensure a stable housing market in the state and across the country. Failure to do so could lead to another 2008-style collapse, when the housing market took down the entire economy with it. Though the stock market has rebounded from its precipitous drop at the onset of the pandemic, millions remain unemployed. According to the Massachusetts Office of Labor and Workforce Development, nearly 26,000 residents filed an initial claim for unemployment insurance during the first week of December. Since March 15, more than 1.6 million claims have been filed in the commonwealth. In a rare act of bipartisanship, Washington came together in the early months of the pandemic to pass a comprehensive relief package, which included direct assistance to millions of Americans as well as expanded unemployment insurance. The bold move helped renters stay current ini-

tially, but relief funds have since dried up and the expanded unemployment benefits have expired. Now, millions of unemployed Americans have been unable to keep current on their rent and mortgage payments. The National Multifamily Housing Council, which represents apartment owners, developers and managers, found that 25 percent of renters failed to make their complete rent payment by the end of the first week of December, a 5 percent drop from the previous month. And a Moody’s Analytics study revealed that 12 million renters owe an average of $5,850 in back rent, totaling $70.2 billion.

Eviction Moratorium Only Delays Inevitable

Since the initial relief package, the federal government’s response has been to impose a sweeping federal eviction moratorium on top of dozens of state and local moratoria enacted shortly after the crisis began.

A study by Moody’s Analytics determined that 12 million renters are behind an average of $5,850 on payments, representing a total of nearly $70.2 billion.

payments used to fund ongoing local government expenditures – let alone maintenance and property personnel costs. With missing rent payments, many property owners are teetering on the brink of economic ruin. Without assistance directly to renters that keep them current on rent, many property owners will be forced to sell or default on their mortgages and lay off staff, removing desperately needed units from the mar-

Without assistance directly to renters that keep them current on rent, many property owners will be forced to sell or default on their mortgages and lay off staff – removing desperately needed units from the marketplace at a time when they are keenly needed. However well-intended, eviction moratoria only kick the can down the road for renters who are amassing untenable levels of debt that they will struggle to ever make good on. They also leave property owners struggling to keep up with their mortgages, insurance and real estate tax

ketplace at a time when they are keenly needed. As of this writing, members of Congress have passed a second stimulus package, including expanded unemployment insurance and rental assistance. The package includes $25 billion in assistance

for renters – a significant figure, to be sure, but just a third of the back rent still outstanding. Nevertheless, it is an important step in the right direction.

Follow Massachusetts’ Example

Washington should look to the bipartisan example set on Beacon Hill to provide relief to owners and tenants. In October, the Baker Administration announced a $171 million plan aimed at diverting evictions through expanded rental assistance, mediation and rehousing programs. The program increased the maximum Residential Assistance for Families in Transition (RAFT) benefit available from $4,000 to $10,000 per household, with $100 million available for the program this fiscal year. Landlords who own up to 20 units are now able to apply directly for RAFT/ ERMA funding on behalf of eligible tenants who are behind on rent. A free mediation program the administration helped launch with the Office of Public Collaboration has been available for landlords and tenants since Nov. 16. Most recently, House and Senate leaders made substantial investments in housing subsidies and Continued on Page B5

In Multifamily Designs, Tech Takes a Front Seat Beverly Development Adapts to Work-from-Home Needs SPECIAL TO BANKER & TRADESMAN

A

ccording to the 2019 Zillow Consumer Housing Trends Report, 43 percent of Gen Z buyers and 35 percent of Millennials rated smart home features as Mike Procopio “very important,” and although Zillow’s 2019 report shows older generations are less concerned with smart technology, we anticipate the desire for technology will continue to grow as younger generations continue to enter the market to rent and buy. In fact, we’ve found that at The Procopio Cos.’ multifamily properties, the current pandemic has increased tenants’ desire for technology, particularly when it comes to touchless capabilities, or controlled access from smartphones and other personal devices. At one time, smart homes were perceived to require extensive wiring, many screens, complex controls and the valid fears of rapid obsolescence. Renters can now control the entire multifamily experience from the palm of their hand – from video entry systems and security smart

And while many who think about technology consider the renter’s or buyer’s direct user experience, the reality is that within multifamily development, there are many technological updates that the consumer never sees. Take for example, a multifamily property’s heating and hot water systems, which are required to heat all units and common areas. New heat pump technology allows developers to save energy, as heat pumps transfer heat without generating and losing it, while integrated hot water and heating systems reduce the squarefootage needed for utilities, while also saving costs as one integrated system. This streamlined process is more environmentally friendly, as it requires less enContinued on Page B5

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

It’s Time to Eliminate Blind Spots in Senior Housing Design Opportunities Exist for Alternative Models in Elder Facilities BY BRENT MAUGEL SPECIAL TO BANKER & TRADESMAN

M

y wife recently recommended that I watch the movie “The Impossible,” a film based on a true story of survival in Thailand during the devastating Dec. 25, 2004 tsunami. Brent Maugel My first thought in the midst of a pandemic was: Why? But as is typically the case, she was right. The movie was a rich and inspiring story that brings with it hope and confidence that anything is possible. It leaves us asking ourselves why they did not forsee the tsunami and prepared for it. It made me question what blind spots exist in the real estate industry: What do we know is coming, but are not preparing for adequately? We have heard the looming statistics: The aging of the American population is increasing at an alarming rate. In 20 years, 1 in 5 Americans will be over 65 years of age and that number will more than double over the next 40 years. Of the over65 age group, 15 percent will be over 85 years of age, a number that is projected to nearly quadruple in the next 20 years. An unprecedented need for senior housing is coming. The question is whether we can provide enough safe, affordable, comfortable and care-appropriate options before the wave hits the shore.

What Can Be done

As planners and designers, there are some steps we can do to prepare. First, we must acknowledge that what has come before and what is in place now is unsustainable. The pandemic has opened

our eyes to the health issues inherent in nursing homes and elderly congregate living facilities. This does not mean they should be abandoned, but it does mean they must be reimagined, redesigned and reborn as safe and desirable homes for the aged. My mother is 96 years old and by the grace of God is living in her own home in the farmlands of Northwest Ohio. She is superbly cared for by my saintly sister and her husband who live next door. This arrangement is a rarity because of the transient nature of younger generations. Realistically, generational housing – while often best for the person needing care – is not always best for the caregiver and should not be considered a broad-brush solution. There are, however, some innovative alternatives for elder

The pandemic has exposed shortcomings in the design of senior housing and nursing home facilities, and opportunities for innovative alternatives in elder housing.

action important to combating loneliness in seniors. The more intimate scale of eight to 12 seniors per home also provides an added level of protection from future health crises.

Going forward, we expect the senior care industry will undergo a government-sponsored overhaul of building standards, including institution of hospital-quality heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. care housing that can provide significant pieces of the senior housing puzzle.

Exploring Private Collaboratives

Private collaborative homes, though rare in America, are rather popular in Europe due to their affordability, intimate scale and the social connections they create between multiple generations. Affordability is found in right-sized rooms; shared kitchens, amenity spaces and expenses; and small management and health care staffs. Often a few dwelling units are rented to younger families with children who provide the companionship and social inter-

We – the individuals, families, health care community, governments, planners federal, planners and designers – must create a new response to senior living that combines skilled nursing, independent living and assisted living in built environments that are indeed communities that feel like home, at whatever level of care is required.

Today, living in a nursing home is a frightful situation due to insufficient safety and health care protocols brought to light by the pandemic. Going forward, we expect the senior care industry will undergo a government-sponsored overhaul of building standards, including institution of hospital-quality heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Unlike Thailand in 2004, we know right now what is on the horizon for the housing and health care needs of our seniors. Let us remember the story of “The Impossible” and have hope and confidence that anything is possible, including preparing for seniors to enjoy social interaction, home-like comfort and dignified care in the senior housing options of the future. We’ll all be there soon enough, let’s make it a place we can be proud of.

Multifamily Developers Take their Cue from Office Trends Continued from Page B4 ergy, and the smaller utility footprint also allows for extended square footage at the property for amenities and other spaces for resident use.

Adapt to the WFH Transition

Another way the pandemic has accelerated technology adoption at multifamily properties is with an increased shift in work from home opportunities. The ability for renters and buyers to access quality, gigabit WiFi, either within their units, or within the building’s common areas, will be crucial to the multifamily experience moving forward. Similarly, residents working from home may require additional technology capabilities, whether it be conference rooms or presentation technology for meetings

held at a multifamily building instead of an office. The trend towards work from home will shift residents’ needs and may require multifamily developers to consider and implement technology amenities previously seen only in commercial office spaces. While technology had already seen increased implementation prior to the pandemic, 2020 has seen a further desirability for technology’s implementation in multifamily developments. Moving forward into 2021, we anticipate a continued acceleration of this trend, as residents seek both an improved experience within their units and while working from home, and improved safety through touchless technologies.

Failure by Congress to get further relief to renters will have a cascading effect. Renters themselves will fall further behind on their payments and dig themselves deeper into debt. Housing providers will, in turn, struggle to pay their mortgage and expenses, including payroll for their employees and contractors. And when property owners have to sell off assets or,

worse, default on mortgages, it will be felt throughout the economy. It’s time to act fast and prepare.

Compact Living Model Gains Traction BY MARGARITA KVACHEVA AND ALEX MATOV SPECIAL TO BANKER & TRADESMAN

illennial housing, innovation units. Studio apartments. Compact living units. Whatever you call them, developments featuring tiny spaces are popping up again fueled by singles Margarita Kvacheva and couples looking for a place to rest their heads within city limits. Compact units solve a problem Boston has wrestled with for decades: affordable housing that is attractive to young professionals Alex Matov and keeps Millennials from doubling up in triple-deckers best suited for working families. Housing the region’s growing population is a goal for mayors in the region’s most expensive and congested cities such as Somerville and Cambridge. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh has committed to building 69,000 new housing units by 2030 as part of the Housing a Changing City: Boston 2030 plan. Small living spaces – studios and onebedroom apartments ranging from 280 to 450 square – made a splash on the Boston development scene in 2013 when the first units hit the market and were quickly snapped up. By 2014 there were more than 350 units planned for the Seaport District, just as it was approaching “hottest neighborhood” status. The draw of the units is that develop-

ments are well located and provide affordable options in housing constrained neighborhoods like Allston-Brighton and the Seaport. The units are within walking distance to public transportation, restaurants and nightlife. The trend toward building smaller is also driven by the shortage of studio apartments. According to the city of Boston, two-thirds of the city’s population is comprised of singles and couples, while one-third of housing units are studios and one-bedroom apartments.

Pilot Program Offers Developers Flexibility

In 2018, the city of Boston launched the compact living pilot program, giving developers the green light to build smaller units: 450 to 950 square feet in new projects of 10 units or more. The goals of the program include: • Increase housing affordability through more units overall, including more inclusionary development policy (IDP) Units and alleviating market pressure on family-style homes. • Build community on both a building scale and a neighborhood scale by creating spaces that encourage people to connect outside their unit. • Promote sustainable development creating less energy and less single-occupancy vehicle trips. • Encourage creativity and innovation in how developers and designers meet the needs of residents. Unlike micro-units, the development of compact living units has stringent requirements for parking, open space and community space and is monitored by the city of Boston.

In 2018, the city of Boston launched the compact living pilot program, giving developers the green light to build smaller units: 450 to 950 square feet in new projects of 10 units or more. In addition to new housing, LBC Boston will create over 34,000 square feet of open space. Over 20,000 square feet of open space will be accessible to the public and will be used for community gatherings such as farmers’ markets, outdoor movie nights and exhibits. LBC Boston plans to invite local artists to paint murals and to create unique sitting cubes to be installed in the public parks.

Although compact living projects are new in multifamily development circles, renters are learning about the potential benefits: living in an efficiently designed, more affordable product in a community setting. Other benefits include lower utility bills and less maintenance. Better yet, paying the rent doesn’t require working the nightshift.

Biophilic Design Creates Better Environments in Residential Buildings Nature-Inspired Rooms Promise Healthier, Calmer Living SPECIAL TO BANKER & TRADESMAN

C

reating more holistic environments for people living in cities, particularly in the era of COVID, has caused real estate developers, architects and designers to look at building Patrick Planeta design with a fresh lens to determine what are the essential criteria for a more hospitable environment. In a sense, this newfound focus isn’t so new when set against a backdrop of 200,000 years of humans adJennie Kalberer aptation on Earth. Over that time, 99 percent of our species’ development took place under conditions dominated by natural forces, unlike our modern urban environments. Spaces designed to provide sanctuary through natural cues is a priority for Gerding Edlen, whose vision has sought to create innovative and holistic environments that emphasize health and wellness

through smart technology and creative design. Planeta Design Group, working in concert with Gerding Edlen, developed innovative and modern interior spaces for Bower, the newest residential project in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood.

Biophilic design is more than an aesthetic choice: It connects people to nature and is a gateway to rejuvenating our health and well-being. The Bower design and development teams followed a mantra of “biophilia.” This design approach, informed by evolutionary psychology, offers clues to understanding automatic responses triggered by our modern, man-made surroundings. Today’s built environments present new challenges for the human species to navigate, fatiguing our brains with stress-inducing sights and sounds. This makes biophilic design more than an aesthetic choice: It connects people to nature and is a gateway to rejuvenating our health and wellbeing.

A multistory greenhouse at Bower offers residents a quiet, contemplative space to relax and immerse themselves in a more natural environment.

The team looked to several tenet of biophilic design to achieve a strong connection to nature at Bower. Daylight and Views: We made sure that there were plentiful amounts of daylight and views, allowing ample natural changing light and weather patterns that contribute to mental alertness. New window technology, called “View Smart Glass,” reduces glare but automatically adjusts to changing outside light conditions without the need for obstructive window coverings. Space and Color: Large, light-filled indoor spaces provide relief during short winter days and inclement weather, not to mention the ability to comply with social distancing mandates. Additionally, our

choice of colors helps promote a sense of well-being and comfort. Bower’s first building is filled with deep forest tones and warm wood hues and textures that evoke nature, balanced by curvilinear furniture and concrete columns wrapped in tree trunk-like porcelain tiles. In the lobby of Bower’s second building, wallpaper covered with colorful interpretations of flowers and plants, and an egg-shaped reception desk that floats in the space, fills the space with a sense of discovery. Living Plants: The presence of life within spaces, such as healthy living plants, reminds our primordial brain that we are in a welcoming and safe environment.

‘Minimalist’ Housing Follows Hotel Industry Trends Continued from Page B1 “We absolutely continue to believe in coliving,” said Brian Lee, senior director of real estate at New York-based Common, one of the largest managers of coliving spaces in the county.

Lee’s company is working as a management partner with local developers Arx Urban and Boylston Properties on the Common Allbright project, which recently won city approvals for its 80-suites of coliving space at 525 Lincoln St. in Boston. If all goes well, construction of Common Allbright could start next year, with the facility’s 280 bedrooms available for rent 18 months after the first shovel is turned. “We’re huge believers that the demand will be there after the pandemic,” says Benjie Moll, a principal at Arx Urban. “We’re very optimistic.” Construction of the 7Ink project begin last winter at 217 Albany St. in South End, with an opening date tentatively set for early 2022, says Ted Tye, managing partner at Newton-based National Development, the project’s developer. National Development has indeed modified 7Ink’s 180 units since the onset of the pandemic to address concerns of future tenants who may still be nervous about sharing living spaces with others. Among the recent design changes to 7Ink, according to Tye: more operable windows, improved air filtration, adding smaller meeting rooms, additional spacing in gathering areas and investing more heavily in our outdoor areas. Otherwise, it’s all systems go for 7Ink, assuming the current rollout of new anticoronavirus vaccines are effective in ending the current pandemic, Tye said. “Fingers crossed that when we open in 2022, COVID will be far in the rearview mirror,” Tye said. “Coliving has continued

people can gather and meet. There are also indoor and outdoor common areas accessible to all residents of a building. Coliving also usually entails “all-in-one pricing,” meaning monthly rents cover all major utility costs, such as heating, airconditioning and WiFi. At Common Allbright, Arx Urban’s Moll said the “all-in-one” price for a bedroom should average about $1,400 or $1,500 per month, a relatively good deal for area rentals. In addition, Common Allbright’s suites, as its units are being called, will be fully furnished.

Different Models, Common Theme

The definition of coliving varies from developer to developer, from operator to operator, and from city to city. But all share the common theme of “shared space” to reduce developers’ costs – and to reduce rents in turn. The target demographic is mostly young professionals working and living in expensive metro areas. Coliving units contain multiple bedrooms that are leased out on an individual basis. Some coliving units have shared kitchens, but not all. Some provide furnishings, while others do not. But all are likely to have shared living/ dining rooms – and each floor within buildings usually includes common areas where

Cost Called Key Factor

New York developer has acquired a 97unit Methuen apartment complex redeveloped under the state’s Chapter 40B affordable housing law for its first Bay State holding. Standard Communities paid $13.8 million for the Mill Falls apartments, which received low-income and historic tax credits in a 2001 conversion of the former Methuen Cotton Mills, which was built in 1826. The 6-story elevatored property at 51 Osgood St. features 11- to 14-foot ceilings and more than 50 different floor plans. The conversion received 4-percent taxexempt bonds from MassHousing, requiring 40 apartments to be rented to households earning 60 percent or less of the area median income. Additionally, a loan from the state Department of Housing and Community Development required 39

provide clean, convenient and affordable units that are properly managed, then the concept should work. Stockard should know. He himself has lived in a cooperative apartment building in Cambridge for decades – and he said he’s more than happy with the sharedamenities arrangement. He compared coliving to “minimalist” trends seen in other types of housing, such as the new citizenM hotel at Boston’s Hub on Causeway, which also provides small and simple rooms with shared public spaces. National Development’s 7Ink project originally started out with coliving operator Ollie acting as an advisor. But Ollie was purchased earlier this month by San Francisco-based Starcity. National Development’s Tye and Starcity co-founder and CEO Jon Dishotsky declined to say what the current arrangement is between ND and Starcity, though it’s believed former Ollie (now Starcity) employees are continuing to work in an advisory capacity on the 7Ink project. Dishotsky said he’s excited about taking over Ollie – and the potential to expand his company’s operations in Boston and across the country. The combined Starcity will have 1,500 units in its management portfolio, post-merger. All multifamily dwellings, and not just coliving units, took a hit as a result of the pandemic, Dishotsky said. But he said the industry is rebounding and the same housing problems will re-emerge again after the pandemic: the lack of affordable housing in major metropolitan areas. “The primary reason for coliving is still there – high housing prices,” he said. “As a result, I remain very bullish on coliving.”

Immersive Nature Experience: At Bower, skylights, art installations, and unique architectural features offer opportunities for residents to experience a sense of wonder, curiosity and appreciation for their surroundings. An indoor greenhouse extends two stories up to a skylight that bridges the gap between the building and the sky. The Planeta team was inspired by an impluvium – the central courtyard of an ancient Roman house – to create an intimate space filled with greenery, light and a sculptural water element where residents can relax and read. Just outside the greenhouse, the ceiling is covered with polished stainless-steel paneling that reflects natural light and creates

a rippling effect reminiscent of flowing water, while reflecting and amplifying the hues from the greenhouse and view outside. Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, the space offers 270-degree views of downtown Boston, the Charles River, Brookline and beyond. As 2020 comes to a close and we look toward a new year, our work as developers, architects and designers is clear. Building a better environment starts with people and we all benefit from a greener, healthier and natural experience in our homes that makes us more productive and happier.

About Our Commercial Sales Data

ommercial Sales Monthly Review provides a recap of commercial, industrial and other income-producing property sales that have appeared in the previous four weekly issues of Banker & Tradesman. This reference is an easy-to-use listing of these hardto-find sales, compiled by The Warren Group, B&T’s parent company. Included in these listings are residential developable land, residential properties with more than three units and many mixed-use parcels. The residential developable land properties are included in the list because they are often sources of income for developers. Similarly, multi-unit residential units are deemed to be income-producers as opposed to purely places of residence for the owner. Mixed-use parcels are included because they often have non-residential features. Because property use designations are culled from assessors’ records and not from the deed to the property, this section includes only those communities where we have the assessor’s property file – the

communities The Warren Group calls COMPreport towns, which now includes all Massachusetts communities except for Great Barrington and Hancock.

What You Will Find The records are organized alphabetically by town and street name. In addition to the property address, buyer, seller, lender, mortgage amount, lot size and prior sale data that were detailed when these sales were originally published in the Official Records section of Banker & Tradesman, the records in this recap also include the filing date, building area (when available) and total assessed value. The fiscal year of the assessment is also noted.

How the Data Is Compiled

After a sale transaction is entered into the The Warren Group database, the address is compared to the addresses in the assessor’s property file. Whenever a match occurs, The Warren Group takes the details from the property record and

creates the enhanced sales records published here. If The Warren Group cannot be sure of matching the correct records, it does not match them at all. If it is unable to identify an unmatched sale’s property-use class, that sale will not be included in this recap. As The Warren Group processes the assessor’s files, it checks that propertyuse codes are used consistently across all towns. To this end, The Warren Group sometimes translates a code that one town has created for its own purpose into a code that has the same meaning in the The Warren Group system. There are some instances where The Warren Group has created its own codes to supplement the Massachusetts Department of Revenue codes. This is generally done for multi-use parcels where assessors have assigned their own supplemental codes for greater specificity. In turn, when The Warren Group processes the assessor’s files, it applies its own code to standardize the use code applied to these properties.
