Overview
- HYM Investment Group and My City at Peace filed a Letter of Intent with the Boston Planning and Development Agency to start the Article 80 process for an $850 million, five-building Dorchester Health Campus on the former Carney Hospital site.
- The proposal centers on a roughly 350,000-square-foot health facility that developers say would not be a hospital and whose final services will be set with a future health-system tenant and regulators.
- Developers said on May 20 that they are negotiating with several health systems to lease the health building and that phase one construction could begin by the end of next year if a tenant signs on, with an opening targeted around mid-2030.
- The campus plan includes about 970,000 square feet of space with a 50,000-square-foot education center, 50,000 square feet of retail and roughly 500 housing units including 200 senior living units, and developers project job and tax benefits that remain estimates.
- The filing follows the Carney’s Aug. 31, 2024 closure that reduced local hospital capacity, and the plan will face staged public review, community meetings and a BPDA vote before any approvals or firm commitments are made.
