Senior Housing proposed for Cherry Hill Industrial Park in Beverly


According to the Beverly Citizen, a national developer of senior housing plans to build a 238-unit complex in the Cherry Hill Industrial Park in Beverly. The 2-phase project needs a special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals, which is scheduled to meet on June 24th at 7:00pm at the library on Essex Street to consider the plan.

Phrase 1 would be 118 independent living building on a 9.5 acre parcel and will include studio, 1-bedroom,and 2-bedroom units plus many other rooms such as large formal dining and other amenities and rooms. 15% of the units would be subsidized. The site plan calls for a 4-story, 118-suit building closest to Conant Street and 3 other 4-story buildings on the rest of the property. The entrance would be directly across from Axcelis Technologies’ driveway on Cherry Hill Drive (pictured right).
