The property is largely undeveloped, but includes the residence of the city's Cardinals. It is located on Commonwealth Avenue across the street from Boston College, a Catholic college. Dunn tells GlobeSt.com that the university is interested in acquiring the property. He says that the Church has not yet set the conditions of the sale and according to local published reports the amounts vary widely--from as low as $30 million to up to $100 million.

The property being sold represents about half of the Archdiocese's 60-acre campus in the neighborhood.
