Overview
Chelsea Legacy Portfolio is a collection of 21 buildings located throughout Chelsea. They vary in size and number of units per building, but all are restricted to provide homes for residents at or below 60% AMI. Included in this project are the existing TND properties 210 Broadway, 585-593 Broadway, 579-583 Broadway, and Chelsea Homes I. Bringing these existing projects together allows TND to renovate and repair some of the oldest buildings it owns and extend the affordability for these buildings out for 50 more years. This project will update and extend the life of 116 affordable homes in the City of Chelsea by providing new roofs, fire sprinkler systems, kitchens, baths, new flooring and a fresh coat of paint throughout the buildings.
