Massachusetts Seeks Developer for Lindemann-Hurley Site in Boston’s West End

The Healey-Driscoll Administration has released an Offering Memorandum (OM) for the reimagining and redevelopment of the Erich Lindemann Mental Health Center and the Charles F. Hurley Building located at the Boston Government Services Center located in Boston’s West End. The OM reflects the administration’s shift from redeveloping the 6.5-acre site for office and lab use to creating new housing instead.

“This site represents one of the most significant housing development opportunities in Boston,” said Gov. Maura Healey. “We’re turning underutilized state property into new homes, preserving important parts of this historic site, and ensuring that critical mental health services continue uninterrupted. This is exactly the kind of partnership and creativity we need to lower housing costs, create more opportunity and make Massachusetts more affordable.” 

The Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance will follow up the OM with a Call for Offers this summer. The division plans to select a development partner in 2027. Newmark’s Michael Byrne and Lauren Donahue have been tapped as advisors. The OM and other information can be found here.
