You might’ve heard this morning that Mayor Walsh published his findings of a Boston Redevelopment Authority audit commissioned back in March. Sigh. Oh, BRA. You were on such a roll with your civic innovations and public art initiatives. Until it became clear that you’re actually just as messed up as we all thought you were.

While some of the audit’s findings are in regards to leadership structures, compliance regulations and the fact that nearly all of the BRA’s records are kept in the form of paper (come on now, it’s 2014 for goodness sake), it also raised some questions about how the BRA makes money.

The BRA is a major Boston property owner and, for the most part, makes money through them whether by leasing or selling. The audit, however, identified eight prime land parcels owned by the BRA that could help line its pockets even more. The only problem is, they’re not generating a single penny in revenue.

The same was true for five BRA-owned parking spots valued at over $3 million combined throughout the city.

Since the eight land parcels, located in the Seaport’s Boston Marine Industrial Park, were granted to the BRA, the organization has conceived a master plan “for consolidating, preserving, and growing Boston’s ocean trade, maritime industries and industrial uses,” according to the BRA website.

For whatever reason, though, these eight parcels, a combined 23 acres zoned for either commercial, industrial, parking or maritime development, are just, well, sitting there.

And what’s more, as you’ll see in the map above, the parcels are prime pieces of Innovation District real estate. What’s the hold up, BRA?
