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.
