What our organization offers: 
A Boston Landmark Since 1935 Built by 3,000 workers in just 62 days, Suffolk Downs’s historic track has been a showcase for some of the most famous names in thoroughbred racing history, including Seabiscuit, Whirlaway, John Henry, Cigar and Skip Away.

In 2017, Suffolk Downs was purchased by HYM and its investors with a vision to create a welcoming neighborhood designed around new ways of living and working. Today, Suffolk Downs is being reborn as a new urban district with a dynamic mix of uses and offerings connected and supported by public open space, neighborhood retail, and civic spaces. Directly connected to a rich history, and to the communities it adjoins, this extraordinary evolution of our city promises all who live, work, and visit the opportunity to feel optimism for the future.
