Beacon Communities and Harborlight Homes, together with their partners, cut the ribbon on 91 new housing units, including 85 affordable units for low-income seniors, at Beverly Village for Living & the Arts, a housing development located at the historic former home of the Briscoe School in Beverly, MA. The adaptive reuse project transformed Briscoe School’s existing footprint into a multi-use, livable space. It includes six live/work studios with an artist occupancy preference.
“Beverly Village for Living & The Arts is a testament to the power of adaptive reuse in addressing the affordable housing crisis,” said Dara Kovel, CEO of Beacon Communities. “We are grateful to Harborlight Homes and our partners for their dedication to preserving the Briscoe School’s history while sustainably transforming it into a vibrant community hub for seniors and the arts.”
The existing three-story building, originally built in 1923, was completely rehabilitated while still preserving historical features, including the windows and facade.
