NORTHPOINT |CHALLENGES OF URBAN PARKING
Parking doesn’t pay for itself (Challenging Returns & Underwriting) High costs in urban markets ($50,000 - $100,000 per space) In-efficient use of parking spaces (Sitting vacant at different times for different uses)
Permit Challenges Above grade parking undesirable by neighborhoods and counts against FAR Desire to Reduce Trip Generation by cities and towns
Market Challenges Commercial Broker & Tenant Resistance to lower parking ratios Limited precedent/examples of Shared Parking Shared versus Reserved Parking
Result: Projects with too much Parking

Total Parking Space Demand 8,384 4,177 3,807
NORTHPOINT |PARKING PARAMETERS
North Point considered its own Parking District
Shared parking utilized to reduce overall parking count
Original NorthPoint approvals contained 4,980 spaces New space count will be 3,800 – Reduction of 1,180 spaces
Update Zoning Ratios to be Consistent with other Cambridge Districts Commercial .9 spaces per 1,000 SF Lab .8 spaces per 1,000 SF Residential .75 spaces per unit Hotel .5 spaces per key Retail .5 spaces per 1,000 SF
Major City Benefit of Capping Peak Hour Vehicular Trips
NORTHPOINT |PARKING PARAMETERS
Flexibility within the NorthPoint District: Residential uses (min. of 0.5 spaces/unit, max. of 1.0 space/unit, avg. of 0.75 spaces/unit) Ability for early parcels to build more parking (1.25 spaces per 1,000 SF) Improved Tenant flexibility for parking supply (Less restrictions within District) Improved parking efficiencies, revenue per space and parking returns (Market Driven)
Supporting Factors for Shared Parking Strategy Mixed-Use Development Parcel (Ability to Share Parking) NorthPoint has a detailed PTDM Plan (Joint City & Developer Effort) Shifting Demographics Trends (Age Profile, Urban, Car Ownership %) Two Subway Lines and the EZ Ride Shuttle Alternate Modes (Hubway, Zipcar)
Shared Parking Challenges Comfort level for Lenders & Investors (Leasing & Sale) Comfort level for Brokers and Tenants (Perception vs. Reality) Retail and public parking
