Property Details:
Forbes Park was a tired and underutilized factory complex on the Chelsea River and Mill Creek and is now being transformed into the region?s most visible model of sustainable development. The City of Chelsea, Massachusetts is located directly across the Mystic River, just 2 miles north of the City of Boston. The industrial revolution transformed this once pastoral suburb into a bustling manufacturing center. Chelsea flourished and its ambitious, ethnically diverse population boomed. The City has an estimated population of 35,080 and occupies a land area of 1.8 square miles.
In the first re-development phase at Forbes Park, the four-story concrete Building X has been converted into 68 live/work lofts, creatively adapted to meet the needs of a new generation of users, and reused to salvage a beautiful and durable historic structure. The radical re-design slices through the center of Building X with an open-air breezeway, bringing fresh air and natural daylight into the heart of the building. As a result, all lofts have over-sized windows at both ends to benefit from nature's free resources: sun and wind.
Forbes Park contains a 7,000 sq ft common roof deck, which is available for gatherings, cooking, dining, and potted gardens. The solid brick and concrete partition walls at Forbes Park dampen sound and contribute thermal mass for passive heating. The development also has an electric car sharing program for resident use along with an underground parking garage. The rainwater recycling system for water-closets at Forbes Park reduces cost and waste of fresh water. Other features include convenient trash and recycling collection located on each floor, custom kitchens feature stainless steel sinks, counters, and storage systems and radiant floor heating.
