HYM Investment Group has secured planning approval from Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) for the Suffolk Downs Redevelopment Project in Boston, US.
Spanning on both Boston and the City of Revere, the five-phase development project will create nearly 7,000 residential units across the Boston portion of the site. These residential units comprise over 900 on-site income-restricted units.
BPDA said that further $5m of the housing stabilisation fund, which will be managed by Boston Department of Neighborhood Development (DND), will be utilised to help the off-site income-restricted housing to bring the overall commitment of affordable housing to 20%.
It also said that about 10% of the total residential units will be allotted for senior housing.
The proposal includes the construction of a new mixed-use neighbourhood, a 40-acre publicly accessible open space system, as well as two retail squares at Suffolk Downs and Beachmont stations.
The primary phase of the project will comprise nearly 1.39 million ft² of development including the first phase of the project, which involves 520,000ft² of corporate as well as amenity space.
