The construction and $23 million cost of the MOCA Grand Avenue building was part of a city-brokered deal with the developer of the $1 billion California Plaza redevelopment project on Bunker Hill, Bunker Hill Associates, who received the use of an 11.2-acre (45,000 m2), publicly owned parcel of land.[27][28][29] On the grounds that the law said that 1.5% of the construction costs of new buildings had to be spent on fine-arts embellishments,[4] MOCA's board of trustees had struck a deal with the Community Redevelopment Agency to have the project developer build a 100,000-square-foot museum, designed by an architect of the trustees' choice, at no cost to the museum.[30] In return for the free building, the agency required the trustees to raise $10 million for an operations endowment.
