Strategies:

• Collaborate with two prominent preservation trust organizations to determine the optimal boundary between preserved lands and the remainder of the estate.
• Prepare by-right development scenarios to assess the market value of the land to be preserved, as well as a range of alternatives for the balance of the property.
• Analyze potential financial return for these scenarios, including tax implications.
• Develop visual simulations to assess scenic impact.

Outcomes:

• Historic H.H. Richardson Gate Lodge and surrounding Frederick Law Olmsted landscape preserved in perpetuity.
• Immediate compensation for a preservation restriction placed on a portion of the estate.
• Agreements that retain options on the balance of the estate for future determination.
