The former 400-acre Boston State Hospital presented a wonderful chance to bring new businesses, jobs, housing, community facilities, and open space to four neighborhoods of Boston.

After preparing several reuse plans for the site, the final strategy included a mix of housing, commercial development, a new Boston public high school, art center, sport complex, and hotel and conference center.

Today the site is home to MassAudubon's Boston Nature Center and Wildlife Sanctuary, a new UMass Medical Center pharmaceutical R&D facility, and the 400-unit 'Olmsted Green' residential community (under development.)
