Suffolk Downs celebrates official lighting of the Lighthouse at Beachmont Square
The HYM Investment Group LLC (“HYM”) and the City of Revere recently celebrated the official lighting of The Lighthouse at Beachmont Square at Suffolk Downs. Located just outside the MBTA’s Beachmont Blue Line station at the site of the former Beachmont Roast Beef, The Lighthouse serves as a new visual landmark and gateway to Beachmont Square, helping to knit together the Beachmont neighborhood to the 161-acre Suffolk Downs redevelopment. The illuminated tower symbolizes the continued transformation of the historic Suffolk Downs site into a vibrant, connected, mixed-use community and will serve as a beacon for residents, commuters, and visitors of Beachmont Square. The design of the tower pays homage to the former structure that sat atop the Beachmont T Stop and served as a visual marker to commuters.

Opposed to 74 Revere Street development
I am writing to oppose the A-26-36 submitted to the zoning board by Basilio DiFlumeri in regards to the property at 74 Revere Street. This house was purchased by my great grandparents in 1900. It is where my grandparents also lived and raised my mom and her siblings. It was the place where all the cousins would get together. So, yes I have a strong attachment to this home. With that said, the new owner wants to get a permit to build a 10-unit, 4 story apartment building on that lot. If he gets that permit, his next step would be to apply for a permit to demolish this beautiful, 126-year-old Queen Anne Victorian home.
