Columbus Center builders short cleanup funds

By Casey Ross, Globe Staff Developers of the defunct Columbus Center development in Boston have told state officials they are running out of money and cannot afford to pay millions of dollars to clean up the abandoned construction site. In a letter released today, a lawyer for WinnCompanies and the California Public Employees Retirement System told state officials that their business partnership only has $1.5 million to $2 million in assets remaining, less than half what the state estimates it will cost to restore the property along the Massachusetts Turnpike in Boston. The lawyer, Adam Hundley of Goulston & Storrs in Boston, acknowledged the shortfall but asked the state to "bear in mind that in addition to the enormous time and effort they have invested in this failed project, the (developers) have already lost in excess of $125 million" trying to build it. "We understand that there is no perfect resolution that can erase the years of frustrations and losses all of the parties have suffered over the course of this project," Hundley wrote. "However, the (developers) believe that litigation will benefit no one." Last week the main backer in the $800 million Columbus Center venture, the California pension fund, officially declared the long-dormant development dead after a 13-year effort to get it built, and said it would be winding down operations. Massachusetts officials are now trying to get the developers to restore parts of the construction area, which they estimate will cost $4 to $5 million. A spokesman today reiterated that the state still expects the developers to pay the full cost of the clean-up, but would not comment on whether it will sue to recover those funds. The project was to be one of the biggest and boldest in Boston's history, calling for construction of a six building complex, including a 35-story tower, that would have straddled the Massachusetts Turnpike between Arlington and Clarendon streets. In the wake of its failure, transportation officials said their first priority is to clean up the project's dusty construction lots, which sit adjacent to Bay Village neighbors who have had to live with the stalled project for the past two years. They are also asking the developer to pay for the removal of Jersey barriers they installed that narrow the highway near the project site, among other fixes. In his letter to the state, Hundley asserted, however, that even if the state does pursue reimbursement in court, it can only collect from the development partnership created for the project, not from WinnCos. and Calpers themselves. "The (development partnership) has proposed to pay all of their remaining net assets to the (state), which is all the (state) could recover even if it were to prevail in litigation," Hundley wrote.

Columbus Center Development Declared DBA (South End)

Columbus Center Mega-Development Declared DBA (Dead Before Arrival) I am sad to read this news today but I guess we all saw this coming. This project truly would have made Boston a better city – we will miss you (the idea) of Columbus Center adjoining downtown Boston. After 13 tortured years, Boston’s massive Columbus Center development is officially dead. The project’s main backer, the California State Pension Fund, said yesterday construction of the $800 million mega-complex is no longer economically feasible and said it was unwinding its involvement. The decision, coming one month after the state told the developers they were in default of their lease, ends one of the most ambitious and controversial developments in Boston’s history. Columbus Center was to be a towering five-building complex of condominiums, hotel rooms and stores that would have straddled the Massachusetts Turnpike and united the city’s Back Bay and South End neighborhoods. But with neighbors and local politicians aligned against it, the project eventually collapsed under its own ambition. By the time Calpers and its local partner, the WinnCompanies, had negotiated an excruciating public review that included more than 130 community meetings, the complex had become so expensive and the economy so weak, that the developers could not borrow the necessary funds to build it. Continued… [Boston.com] Also on the chopping block today was Archon’s gorgeous tower that was going up behind the 319 A Street building in the Seaport District…in my opinion this is what happens when greedy political powers drag out development processes to a point where costs & “freebee’s” just make a project go BUST.
