The Town of Swampscott seeks a qualified restaurateur or developer to reuse the former Hawthorne-bythe-Sea property at 153 Humphrey Street as a signature dining destination. This oceanfront site offers an exceptional opportunity to create a vibrant restaurant concept that capitalizes on its unparalleled waterfront setting, panoramic Atlantic views, and proximity to Swampscott’s beaches, parks, and residential neighborhoods. The Town will only consider proposals to use the property as a restaurant and hospitality venue, with associated accessory uses such as event space or public amenities. Given its prominence along Humphrey Street and adjacency to King’s Beach and other recreational assets, this site is ideally positioned to serve both residents and visitors seeking high-quality dining experiences in a coastal environment.
