Dorchester Development News: Letter of Intent to be filed for large scale development at former Carney Hospital

Big changes could be coming to the former Carney Hospital site in Dorchester.
According to the Boston Business Journal, HYM Investment Group and My City at Peace are expected to file a Letter of Intent this week for the redevelopment of the former Carney Hospital campus at 2100 Dorchester Ave.
The proposed vision for the long-vacant property includes a mix of healthcare services, housing, retail, and improved open space — with developers saying the goal is to create a “community-centered health and housing destination” for Dorchester.
In a joint statement, Thomas N. O’Brien, Managing Partner and CEO of HYM Investment Group, and Rev. Jeffrey Brown, Founder and CEO of My City at Peace, said:
“Today’s Letter of Intent filing marks an important step forward in reimagining 2100 Dorchester Avenue as a vibrant, community-centered health and housing destination for Dorchester. This filing reflects extensive community feedback and a shared commitment to restoring healthcare uses on campus, expanding local housing opportunities, and enhancing connectivity on a site that has long been a cornerstone of the neighborhood.”
The statement also noted that the filing kicks off the city’s Article 80 review process, with more community meetings and neighborhood input expected as plans move forward.
The 12-acre site has remained a major topic of conversation since Carney Hospital closed in 2024, with many residents continuing to advocate for healthcare services to remain part of the property’s future.
