Boston will consider the diversity of development teams when offering up city-owned parcels for redevelopment, including four vacant properties in Dudley Square designated for multifamily housing.

Under the new policy announced this week by Mayor Marty Walsh, developers responding to RFPs for surplus municipal properties will be required to spell out their plans for participation by women- and minority-owned businesses in all facets of the project, including design, development, financing, construction, operations and ownership. Submissions also will be required to include strategies to mitigate displacement created by development.

The policy is an outgrowth of the Boston Planning and Development Agency’s PLAN: Dudley Square process. The Department of Neighborhood Development recently released four RFPs seeking developers for 40-50 Warren St., 75-81 Dudley St., 2147-2149 and 2156-2159 Washington St. and 135 Dudley St./2406-2430 Washington St., all vacant lots.

The latest initiative builds on recent policies by the Walsh administration to blunt the impact of rising housing prices on minority neighborhoods. Previously announced plans call for the city to acquire 1,000 private market-rate apartments for conversion to income-restricted, and development of 16,000 income-restricted housing units by 2030, bringing the citywide total to 70,000.

Massport’s board of directors was the first local agency to set aggressive minority participation goals for its real estate projects, starting with the construction of the Aloft and Element hotels, which opened in 2016.
