🌎 Dorchester Bay is decarbonizing its portfolio by installing solar panels across our developments, reducing emissions, and lowering energy costs for our residents.

Dayspace, Boston’s first co-working playspace, is now open inside Dorchester Bay’s Pierce Building in Upham’s Corner.
Founded by Deu Almeida, a maternal health leader and local entrepreneur, Dayspace gives parents a place to work while their children play, learn, and grow. Her model is rooted in real community need.
Dorchester Bay strengthens Boston’s commercial corridors by ensuring that community-led businesses have access to commercial space, capital, and the support needed to grow in place.
The @eversourceenergy Community Impact Grant expands Dorchester Bay`s capacity to preserve affordability, fuel local ownership, and widen economic opportunity across communities.
This investment aligns with Dorchester Bay`s broader effort to build resilient, community-rooted pathways to long-term stability.
Dorchester Bay showed up at @masscdcs` Annual Meeting alongside community development leaders committed to solving some of the toughest challenges facing our neighborhoods. The room was full of strategy, creativity, and the kind of collective resolve our field needs in this moment.
We were especially proud to cheer on our teammate Andrealis Martinez, honored with a Rising Star Award for her community-first leadership in climate justice through @fairmountcollab. A well-deserved recognition for work that is shaping Boston’s future.
