Revere, MA— The HYM Investment Group and the City of Revere celebrated the official grand opening of The Amp at Suffolk Downs, a new 600-personcapacity outdoor amphitheater and open space at 125 Salt Street in Revere. The Amp marks one of the first permanent parks and public spaces to deliver at the 161-acre Suffolk Downs redevelopment, serving Beachmont Square residents, neighbors, and visitors.

Totaling approximately 1.5 acres, The Amp is envisioned as a year-round destination with live performances, cultural events, and neighborhood gatherings. The site also functions as a resiliency and stormwater asset. Situated less than half a mile from the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent to Sales Creek, its water basin incorporates a smart stormwater management system with real-time monitoring and automated flow controls that, treating runoff before it reaches the creek and helping reduce localized flooding risk.

“ We’ re thrilled to celebrate the official opening of The Amp at Suffolk Downs with the Revere community,” said Thomas N. O’ Brien, managing partner and chief executive officer of The HYM

Investment Group.“ The Amp reflects our broader vision for a resilient, community centered neighborhood— creating space for residents and visitors alike to gather, connect, and enjoy programming year-round, while incorporating sustainable infrastructure designed for the long term.”

“ Suffolk Downs is bringing more accessible amenity spaces to Revere with The Amp. We are eager for the fun activities and gatherings that will be hosted for years to come, bringing community together or finding solace in the engineering marvel of resilience and open space. This is another exciting addition to the Beachmont Square neighborhood,” said City of Revere Mayor Patrick M. Keefe, Jr.

The Amp’ s opening coincides with Suffolk Downs’ 2026 Summer Series, a lineup of free events running Thursday and Friday evenings from June through September, including five live performances. The inaugural show was July 10 with Locust, a Winthrop-based band. It will be followed by a Beatles tribute on August 7 and a funk and disco night on September 11.

The Amp is accessible via the MBTA Beachmont Blue Line station.

Boston, MA— The Alley by Craft Food Halls has opened at One Post Office Square, a 42-story Class A high-rise in downtown Boston, following a 6,500sf buildout by Corderman & Company. The new food hall adds to Craft Food Halls’ other Eastern Massachusetts locations in Allston-Brighton, Cambridge, Waltham, and Lexington.

The space includes a foyer with a moss wall and custom millwork, and is organized into eight distinct zones, including The Yard, The Heartbeat, The Art Lounge, and The Food and Beer Hall, along with a self-serve beer tap wall and other modern AV integrations. Corderman coordinated the buildout alongside an occupied lobby, The Langham, Boston, and JLL’ s offices directly above, requiring careful noise and dust mitigation throughout construction.

The Corderman team included Principal David Corderman, Superintendent Ken Shea, and Project

The Alley foyer Manager Jordan Koliss.

“ It was a rewarding experience to partner with Vocon, AVID, LeMessurier, Acentech, and all of our trade partners to navigate our way through this project and deliver a high-quality, appealing space for many to enjoy,” said Shea.“ Hats off to the Corderman team and each of our trade partners for keeping it organized and getting all of the final documentation ahead of the turnover schedule.” www. high-profile. com
