Located in the heart of Chelsea, Palladia's Chelsea Court opened in June, 2003. This 18-unit permanent housing project provides studio apartments for previously homeless individuals. Chelsea Court was on the brink of collapse and had been overtaken by illicit drug users when Palladia bought it from the city for $1 in 1994. The bright apartments and beautiful reception area were designed by architect Louise Braverman, who was awarded a 2003 “Merit in Design” award from the New York State Chapter of the American Institute of Architects for her work on Chelsea Court. The building was also featured in an exhibit on innovative design in affordable housing at the Smithsonian’s National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. in the spring and summer of 2004.
