Amaya will offer its residents access to an array of amenities, including a 3,000 square foot, state-of-the-art fitness center, which features an indoor fitness space, personal yoga room, and outdoor Shred Shed™, a freestanding fitness system that can actively accommodate up to 30 people. Two courtyards serve as the pillars of Amaya’s outdoor spaces, offering access to further amenities such as a swimming pool, seating areas, fire pits, lounge area with grills, and outdoor fitness activities.
Additional amenities at Amaya include the convenient lounge areas that serve as flexible work-from-home spaces with small-group work pods and banquette nooks, as well as designated spaces for communal working and gathering. The lounge space extends with an outdoor terrace and chef’s kitchen for gatherings. There is also a game room and arcade space on-site, featuring a pool table, shuffleboard table, darts nook, arcade games and a bar/lounge area.
Amaya will also offer pet-friendly living options, featuring a pet-spa equipped with Shore-line Elite Grooming Showers. Residents will benefit from a fully secure package room which includes refrigerator storage, 24/7 resident access, and storage lockers, as well as an in-building parking garage featuring both EV charging and bike racks with fix-it stations.
Amaya will be connected to a lively community hub of neighborhood retail, open space and civic spaces within Beachmont Square, a 1.7M square feet, vibrant mixed-use neighborhood serving as a gateway to all of Suffolk Downs. Residents will enjoy the nearby access to The Track at Suffolk Downs, including The Dog Park, community events, and concerts hosted at The Stage at Suffolk Downs. Situated in Beachmont Square, with 24,000 square feet of in-building, ground-level retail leased by BLACKLINE Retail Group, Amaya’s residents will be in close proximity to a diverse array of shopping, food and beverage options.
