“Today was ribbon cutting day at Beverly Village for Living & the Arts, marking the completion of development by Beacon Communities LLC and Harborlight Homes which transformed former classrooms into 85 rental units of affordable housing for low-income seniors, with on-site supportive services.
Rehabilitating the property while preserving history of the former Briscoe High School/Middle School was key throughout this process. The auditorium was preserved as a community performing arts space, maintaining the building’s historic connection to Beverly. Former locker rooms are now live/work studios with an artist occupancy preference and the gymnasium has been converted into resident amenities, including a community room, computer learning center, wellness and fitness spaces, library and reading room, and workshop.
MassHousing provided $26 million in financing for this development, and we’re excited to see the space once again become an integral part of Beverly.”
