Art has always had a place at Suffolk Downs, and we’re excited to continue that tradition with the addition of a new mural at our first residential building, Amaya. Internationally acclaimed French artist Julien Colombier has made his United States debut with us in Revere on a 2,700 square foot hand painted mural located on the ground floor façade of the building, lining the new Beachmont Plaza and turning the corner onto a brand-new Salt Street. The mural integrates themes of climate resiliency and ecological preservation, aligning with HYM’s commitment to prioritizing sustainable design at Suffolk Downs.

A misleading headline. With a total investment of approximately $600M on the site to date, the redevelopment of Suffolk Downs is certainly not “on hold indefinitely”. However, this article does a good job in highlighting a key issue being felt across our industry: high interest rates and costs of labor and materials are making housing projects across the state incredibly difficult to finance. While HYM continues to work on key infrastructure and commercial pieces across the 161-acre site at Suffolk Downs, we look forward to working on creative and collaborative solutions with the State and our partners to break ground on the next units of much needed housing.

HYM is hiring! We are looking for qualified candidates for a Development Associate position. The ideal candidate has 1-3 years of experience with real estate development including financial and proforma analysis, due diligence, project management, site acquisition, land use permitting & entitlements, market research and project financing.

In partnership with Cathexis and @National Real Estate Advisors, we’re thrilled to announce that pre-leasing at Amaya, the first residential building at Suffolk Downs, has begun! The 475-unit project located in Beachmont Square (and ~200 feet from the Beachmont T stop) will include over 34,000 SF of state-of-the art amenities, 24,000 SF of dynamic ground-level retail offerings, and a variety of spacious and modern studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units.

Boston Business Journal’s “10 real estate projects to watch in Boston in 2024” include two of our own! Beginning in Revere, Suffolk Downs will be delivering its first, 100% all-electric, residential building, Amaya, this summer in partnership with National Real Estate Advisors. Amaya’s 475 units will be the first of the expected 10,000 residential units within the mixed-use development. In Roxbury, we’ve continued our work with My City at Peace and a team of Boston and Roxbury’s next generation of black, brown, and women entrepreneurs at Parcel 3. With a signed term sheet with the BPDA, this year we look forward to securing financing and continuing our work on the Article 80 submission.

Yesterday, HYM was honored to host Governor Maura Healey, Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, Economic Development Secretary Yvonne Hao and Housing & Livable Communities Secretary Ed Augustus on site at Suffolk Downs as they announced $164 Million in funding for economic development projects across the state through Community One Stop for Growth. This announcement delivers funding from 13 state grant programs that will help create 8,000 new housing units, 10,000 jobs, and 5.4 Million SF of commercial development across Massachusetts. Along with elected officials and the labor community, we were honored to be joined by Revere Mayor Patrick Keefe as Revere was a recipient of a MassWorks award for the redevelopment of Suffolk Downs, as well as a Housing Choice program grant. These investments will help not only Revere, but cities and towns across the state, unlock projects that will make a difference in the lives of its residents.

The HYM Investment Group is proud that our Managing Partner and CEO Thomas O'Brien was asked to speak at Office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Lt.

We were honored to be there alongside so many housing advocates, policy leaders, business organizations and developers who are working together to get the Affordable Homes Act passed by the Legislature.
