Grayfields Reuse and Redevelopment

Brownfields Redevelopment

This subarea plan includes redevelopment plans for a 425 acre former heavy industrial site. Contained within the subarea is one identified brownfield, a former gas station and automotive repair shop, which is cited in the subarea plan as a constraint and area for concern as it sits on a floodplain that may experience flooding due to projected impending sea level rise.

After comparing these scenarios it recommends a fifth scenario that includes a station relocation plus a bus transfer station, a waterfront park, marina, 107,000 square feet of office and retail mixed-use space, 350,000 square feet of retail and institutional  mixed-use space, 330 residential units (townhomes and apartments),300,000 square feet of institutional space, 380,000 square feet of industrial (various) space, a mixed-use lifestyle center with 200,000 square feet of retail space, 70,000 square feet of institutional space, and 250 apartment units, as well as another mixed-use area with 750,000 square feet of office space, 150,000 square feet of retail space, and 400 multifamily residential units.
