South Bay (previously South Bay Center) is a shopping center in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is located off I-93, US 1, Route 3, near the transition from the Southeast Expressway to the Central Artery traveling through Downtown Boston.

South Bay was established initially as a strip-mall shopping center in 1998.

South Bay was established as a suburban-style strip mall. The developer, having bought the center in 1998, expanded it eight years later.

In 2015, the developer announced plans for implementation of a new, urban street grid, pedestrian orientation, mixed land uses, structured parking, and acute attention to the details of dynamic public space. The project called for 475 apartments, a 130-room hotel, 12-screen cinema, 113,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and parking, plotted on a 9.9-acre residential and commercial development.^[1]

The project encompasses 10 parcels on Allstate Road, West Howell and Enterprise streets, and Baker and Field courts — formerly largely vacant, commercial/industrial land and parking lots south of South Bay Center. However, Councilor Frank Baker had significant concerns for neighbors regarding managing traffic around the expanded complex.^[2]
