Revere, MA The HYM Investment Group (HYM), alongside leaders from National Real Estate Advisors (National), Cathexis, Ullico, and the city of Revere celebrated the grand opening of Amaya, the first residential building to deliver at Suffolk Downs. The ribbon cutting ceremony and grand opening celebration underscore Amaya’s success and strong leasing momentum achieved since first move-ins began in June 2024. Amaya brings 475-units of housing, over 34,000 s/f of amenities and 24,000 s/f of ground-level retail space to the Beachmont Sq. neighborhood. The Suffolk Downs Master Site will deliver 10,000 units of housing upon completion.

The official grand opening ceremony featured a ribbon cutting ceremony and speaking program of local elected officials including mayor Patrick Keefe, Jr. and ward one city councilor Joanne McKenna, as well as representatives from HYM, National and Ullico. The event showcased performances by Veronica Robles Cultural Center’s all female mariachi band, local catering from La Hacienda, brews from new Suffolk Downs retailer Twisted Fate as well as a signature Amayarita cocktail.

Amaya’s 475-units are located adjacent to the Beachmont Sq. Blue Line MBTA Station, providing access to downtown Boston and the Logan Airport by subway. 

With units ranging from studios to two-bedrooms, Amaya, managed by Bozzuto, offers its residents amenities including a 3,000 s/f fitness center, two outdoor courtyards which include a swimming pool, a pizza oven, grilling stations and an outdoor Shred Shed, as well as lounge areas with work-from-home spaces, pet-friendly living options and an in-building parking garage.

Amaya includes 24,000 s/f of ground-level retail space being leased by BLACKLINE Retail Group, and anchored by Twisted Fate Brewing, a Massachusetts-based, family-and-majority-female-owned nanobrewery, recently announced as Amaya’s first retail tenant. With the addition of Twisted Fate and additional retailers, Amaya’s residents will enjoy access to a diverse array of food and beverage and lifestyle options.
