The City of Revere is about to conduct an open Request for Proposals (RFP) process for the nearly 2 acre “Parcel H”. The site is located directly adjacent to the recently reconstructed Wonderland Station on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Blue Line and to a 630 unit rental and condominium residential complex.

The site offers incredible vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and Boston Harbor Islands - all less than a ten minute drive from Logan International Airport and less than fifteen minutes from downtown Boston. The Blue Line itself provides fast, direct access to Logan (6 stops - less than 10 minutes) and to downtown Boston (8 stops - less than 15 minutes). The MBTA is presently studying several options for extending the Blue Line northward or making a “people mover” connection from Wonderland Station to a new station on the existing commuter rail tracks immediately west. Either course would further enhance the site’s ready accessibility to and from the North Shore.

In the 1980’s, as a part of a larger development scheme (some of which was built then) the site was master planned for relatively dense commercial development. The city now seeks a developer who wishes to proceed along a fast track by adhering to certain of these pre-established parameters.

• Air rights - the city, by special act of the state legislature, has the right to issue a long term lease for the development of air rights above the existing approximately 2 acre MBTA at-grade parking lot; the MBTA will consider proposals for a development which includes the land at grade if suitable replacement parking is provided by a developer for MBTA patrons.
