Shabazz Napier Invests in Roxbury MXU  

My City at Peace (MyCAP) and The HYM Investment Group (HYM) have announced that professional athlete Shabazz Napier has invested in P3 Roxbury, a mixed-use development in Roxbury’s Nubian Square. 

“This partnership exemplifies our shared commitment to uplifting communities and creating lasting change in Roxbury,” said Reverend Jeffrey Brown, MyCAP CEO, and Thomas N. O’Brien, HYM CEO. 

Napier, a former NBA player and current Olimpia Milano member, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to give back. “I would like to thank Rev. Brown and Thomas O’Brien for giving me this opportunity. An opportunity to give back to a community that helped raised me as the man I am today is an opportunity of a lifetime. P3 will help continue the growth of one of the many communities in the Greater Boston area. I am excited for the future,” said Shabazz Napier. 

P3 Roxbury, led by Black and brown entrepreneurs, aims to provide affordable housing, job opportunities, and equity participation for people of color and women.
