Work underway to convert former Chelsea prison into 131-unit affordable housing project

Work to convert a former state prison in Chelsea into permanently affordable housing is officially underway. Developed by Camber Property Group and Osborne Association and designed by COOKFOX, Chelsea Beacon transforms the long-vacant Bayview Correctional Facility at 550 West 20th Street into 130 permanently affordable homes, including supportive units and short-term transitional residences. The $167 million project, which broke ground this summer, redevelops an eight-story Art Deco building that was built in the 1930s as dorms for sailors, preserving its historic brick facade and second-floor chapel, while also adding an expansion to the original structure.

The city announced on Thursday that Camber Property Group, Services for the UnderServed (S:US), and Essence Development will build "Hudson Mosaic," a mixed-use project with 280 affordable homes and a new community center on a vacant city-owned lot at 388 Hudson Street. The selection follows a request for proposals issued in February, which called for the redevelopment of the site’s northern portion, while a new public plaza is planned for the southern end.
