Revere Beach is undergoing significant redevelopment through mixed-use projects, focusing on creating new residential, commercial, and recreational areas
Key projects include Waterfront Square, transforming the area around the Wonderland station with residential and hotel developments, and the former Suffolk Downs site, which will become a large, mixed-use neighborhood with new housing, office space, and parks. Development is also occurring along the beach itself, with new apartment buildings like Beach House and Ocean650 and plans for a “Creative District” to further boost commercial activity.
- Revere Beach Boulevard: Efforts are underway to revitalize the historic boulevard, with new contemporary apartment buildings like Beach House and Ocean650 being constructed, and plans for a “Creative District” to enhance commercial and recreational opportunities.
- Resiliency and infrastructure: The city is also focused on improving resiliency and infrastructure, such as the Gibson Park Resiliency Project, to address flooding risks, and has developed Design Standards and Guidelines for future reconstruction efforts on Revere Beach Boulevard and Ocean Avenue.

- New residential projects: In addition to those along the boulevard, other developments include new apartment complexes with modern amenities, designed to be walkable to public transit and the beach.
- Modera Revere Beach: Mill Creek Residential is developing 357 new apartment homes in the oceanfront district, with the first move-ins anticipated in the fall of 2025. The community will offer ocean views, a resort-inspired swimming pool, rooftop deck, and other amenities.
- 110 Ocean Ave: Construction on this new development was expected to start in 2025 and will include 56 affordable homes and office space for North Suffolk Community Services.
- Waterfront Square: This area is a fast-growing neighborhood featuring several high-end residential complexes and a new 168-room Marriott SpringHill Suites hotel overlooking the beach.
- Suffolk Downs Redevelopment: Located along the Revere-Boston border, the 161-acre former horse racing track is being transformed into a mixed-use neighborhood with housing, commercial spaces, and recreational areas. Infrastructure work related to this development began in April 2025.
Resident concerns
- Some residents have expressed concerns about the pace of development and the potential impact on affordability and accessibility, fearing that new high-rise condos could make the beach less accessible to long-time residents.
- Concerns have also been raised about the nature of the new housing, with some feeling that developments are being built for newcomers rather than current residents.
