Monterey Place Receives Prestigious Award from Institute of American Architects
New Haven, CT: Monterey Place, located in the Dixwell neighborhood of New Haven is the recipient of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Housing Professional Interest Area (PIA) Award. The AIA PIA Awards Program was established “to recognize the best in housing design and to promote the importance of good housing as a necessity of life, a sanctuary for the human spirit, and a valuable natural resource”. The 35-acre Monterey Place is the former Elm Haven public housing project. In 1993 the Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded the City of New Haven a $45 million HOPE VI grant to transform the existing 848-unit Elm Haven public housing project to a new mixed-income community.
The new Monterey Place and The Homes at Monterey is a total of 362 units, a combination of apartment and forsale housing in townhomes, duplex and single family homes. One hundred forty units are reserved for senior residents in two buildings; a new four-story elevator building and an existing renovated tower building. Family housing includes 200 rental units and 23 for-sale homes. Using New Urbanist principles, a street grid was reinstated on the site, and a new neighborhood was created that closely resembles other neighborhoods in New Haven. Standard building materials like shutters, brick and different paint colors were used separately and in combination, varying from home to home, providing architectural distinction that typically evolves on a city street after a number of years. Townhomes have front and back doors and outside patios, which connect to a common area where children can play and parents can watch from the kitchen. Great care was taken to recreate a traditional streetscape.
Streets include grass borders on sidewalks, lovely street trees, and historically correct street lamp posts. The for-sale single family homes are priced affordably, between $75,000 to $110,000. These have become home to a mix of family types, including former Elm Haven residents, city workers, and Yale employees. An additional 30 for sale homes are planned on the site. Beacon/Corcoran Jennison Partners, a partnership of two development companies, The Beacon Companies and Corcoran Jennison Companies, with long track records in mixed-income housing, are the developers of the project. Fletcher, Thompson, Inc. Architects of Stratford, CT are the architects of record. Russell Scott, Steedle & Capone Architects of Cambridge, MA provided design/development services. Blades & Govern Land Group of Stratford, CT provided site planning and landscape design services.

Recognizing Excellence in Senior Housing Design and Development
Boston, MA: Fuller Village in Milton, Massachusetts has received a Gold Award in a competition sponsored by the Senior Housing Design Council of the National Association of Homebuilders.
Fuller Village is a $31 million, 156-unit mixed-income, enhanced services senior housing community, where 25% of the homes are affordable. Six of the affordable units were made available to homeless or soon-to-be homeless individuals.
The home and carriage house on the 32-acre Fuller property was originally built by Dr. George Kennedy in 1862 and was acquired in 1946 by the Caroline Weld Fuller Trustees. The estate operated as a nursing home until 1998 when the Milton Fuller Housing Corporation purchased the property.
Corcoran Jennison was responsible for permitting, development, construction, and financing Fuller Village, and provided marketing strategy for the project. The architect was DiMella Shaffer Associates of Boston, MA. Milton Residences for the Elderly (MRE) is the non-profit owner and operates the community.
“The overall goal at Fuller Village was to maintain the natural beauty of the original site, and to maintain the original Kennedy house as much as possible,” said Marty Jones, President of Corcoran Jennison. “By not carving the house into individual units and instead, converting this building to service the community, all residents and guests are able to enjoy its unique history.” The original Kennedy house is now the Gordon House, and features the dining facilities, community rooms, fitness center, store, management, and social service offices.
Fuller Village offers a combination of life leases and rental housing. The life lease is when the resident purchases a lease that is re-sold when the resident leaves. Residents are guaranteed their original purchase price back. There are 112 of these homes, and all were sold prior to construction completion.
Rental housing consists of 44 apartments in one of the main buildings. Residents may purchase a la carte services ranging from housekeeping, personal care, laundry, daily meals, and may change the amount or type of service at any time.

King’s Lynne in Lynn, MA Named Winner of the Heritage Award for Innovative and Enduring Contributions to the Land Use Industry
WASHINGTON (May 11, 2007) The Urban Land Institute in Washington, DC announced King’s Lynne in Lynn, MA has been named winner of the Heritage Award for the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) Awards for Excellence: The Americas competition, widely recognized as the land use industry’s most prestigious recognition program.
The Heritage Award is given to projects that have established new concepts or standards that have been emulated elsewhere; are of national or international renown and have been completed for over 25 years. It is the only ULI award category where the jury needs to be unanimous in their decision, and only seven Heritage Awards have been given since 1979. Past recipients include Rockefeller Center, Disneyland, and Sea Pines Plantation in Hilton Head, SC. “Mixed-income is a buzzword today, but King’s Lynne was the first in the country,” said King’s Lynne Resident Council President Eleanor Wessell. “After 30 years of successful operation, it is the model for mixed-income housing nationwide, and still going strong.” King’s Lynne is jointly owned by the King’s Lynne Resident Council and Boston-based developers Corcoran Mullins Jennison and also managed by CMJ.
From Worst to Best: The Remarkable Transformation of King's Lynne, a Massachusetts Housing Project
King’s Lynne: A Blueprint for Transforming Troubled Public Housing
In 1970, America Park housing project was considered one of the worst public housing projects in Massachusetts, with 25% of its units condemned and boarded up. However, the tenants of America Park refused to accept housing authority renovations funds, and instead, used grant money to hire a consultant who conceptualized a privately owned and managed mixed-income community. The tenants gained public and private support for redevelopment and renamed the community King’s Lynne in 1974.
King’s Lynne was the nation’s first public housing project to be converted from public to private housing, the first to have a 50/50 partnership arrangement between public housing residents and a private developer, and the first to incorporate mixed-income housing. Thirty years after its completion, King’s Lynne is still fully leased, in top condition, and a financial success, serving as the blueprint for redeveloping troubled public housing and planting the seeds for HOPE VI, transforming public housing nationwide.
The ULI Awards for Excellence jury member J. Michael Pitchford said that King’s Lynne was a trendsetter and that all the good things we know and practice today in the transformation of public and affordable housing into thriving mixed-income communities have their roots in the experiences of King’s Lynne. King’s Lynne is still as inviting and well-maintained as it was upon completion, a perfect proof of concept.
The competition is part of the Institute’s Awards for Excellence program, established in 1979, which recognizes the full development process of a project, not just its architecture or design. The Americas finalists were selected by a jury of renowned land use development and design experts. Since 1971, Corcoran Mullins Jennison Inc. and Corcoran Jennison Companies have successfully developed over $2 billion worth of property.
King’s Lynne, a project of firsts, remains the only finalist and winner from New England in the 2007 ULI Awards for Excellence.

Part of a $19.5 Million Renovation and Expansion Fever Including 7,500 square feet of New Meeting Space and Nicklaus Golf Course Redesign
Brewster, MA – Ocean Edge Resort & Club on Cape Cod has announced a March, 2009 opening date for Cape Cod’s largest luxury ballroom and meeting space. The Bayside Ballroom at the Mansion at Ocean Edge will feature a 5,000 square foot ballroom and will be
the largest luxury venue on the Cape, a fantastic extension of the historic Nickerson Mansion. The Bayside Ballroom will accommodate events and weddings of up to 300 for dinner and dancing, and meetings of up to 300 classroom style. In June, 2008, the first floor and second floor lobby areas in the Nickerson Mansion were substantially renovated. Rooms that were previously closed off and used as private meeting areas are now open and have been converted to dining and informal sitting areas.
Linx Pavilion: Resort Side Venue for Weddings, Meetings and Tournaments
At the Villages at Ocean Edge, on the resort side, the 2,500 square foot Linx Pavilion was just completed overlooking the new Nicklaus Design Golf Course. The Linx Pavilion is a 2,500-square-foot transparent room and canopy adjacent to the Linx Restaurant. With a
sweeping view of the 18th hole, the versatile Linx Pavilion accommodates weddings, meetings, and tournaments. Lighting and décor can easily be changed to suit the venue, from twinkling lights for a casual starry night feel to elegant chandeliers for a more formal event.
Opening of $8.5 million Nicklaus Design Golf Course is Impetus for New Projects
Ocean Edge’s new Nicklaus Design golf course opened last spring on May 1. Ocean Edge Golf Course, one of Cape Cod’s few private fairways, is open to club members and resort guests. The greens on the par-72 course, with strategically placed bunkering and sand traps,
have been customized to United States Golf Association specifications. The renovation fever at Ocean Edge can be attributed to a number of factors, namely, the success of the newly formed Ocean Edge Club, which began selling memberships just over a year ago. Two hundred sixty-five golf memberships have been sold to date, with plans to cap golf memberships at 300. For the non-golfer, sports memberships are available with complete access to all resort pools, fitness, tennis, and social activities, as well as private beach privileges.
The new Bayside Ballroom at the Mansion was designed by Niemitz Design Group Inc. and Cambridge Seven Associates of Cambridge, MA. Gauthier-Stacy Inc. was responsible for the Mansion interior overhaul, providing interior design and converting meeting rooms to dining and lounge areas.
