bay ridge, shelburne
When Champlain Housing Trust purchased the Econo Lodge on Shelburne Road in 2013 and began operating it as Harbor Place, there was always the idea that the property had a different future. That future is now.
The new Bay Ridge neighborhood, at Shelburne Road and Champlain Drive, will include 94 new permanently affordable homes including 68 affordable apartments for rent and 26 affordable condominiums for sale, a new neighborhood street, and a playground.
These 94 new permanently affordable homes will add significantly to the quantity and affordability of Shelburne’s housing stock. In the mix of apartments are 21 three and four bedroom rentals to provide more options for larger families. As with other new properties, some of the apartments will be set aside for people exiting homelessness, some will be affordable to households earning 60% of area median income, and some will be affordable to households earning 80% of area median income.
The condominiums will be sold through CHT’s Shared Equity program, ensuring that they will remain affordable for generations of homeowners and that Shelburne will always have some affordable homeownership available in the community.
• 94 new permanently affordable homes including 68 affordable apartments for rent and 26 affordable condominiums for sale, a new neighborhood street, and a playground
• Both onsite and offsite solar arrays to reduce dependence on carbon-emitting energy sources, and the condominiums will be fully electric.
• Amenities in the rental buildings will include a community room, community laundry, and underground parking
Estimated completion Summer/Fall 2025.

100 Cambrian, Burlington
CHT and our development partner Evernorth are constructing a new building at Cambrian Rise! The new five-story building will include 40 new permanently affordable apartments targeted to a range of incomes. 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom apartments will be available.
Construction is estimated to be completed in Fall 2026.
Feeding Chittenden–Addition, Burlington
CHT is working with CVOEO to build a two-story addition to the Feeding Chittenden building at 228 North Winooski Ave. in Burlington. CHT owns the building, but CVOEO has operated a hot meals program, emergency grocery distribution and job training from the building since 1994. In 2022, they welcomed the Community Resource Center to the space to provide a warm (or cool) place for people experiencing homelessness to access food, clothing, computers, emergency housing resources, essential services and support in accessing public benefits, shelter and permanent housing.
The building is a constant hive of activity and desperately needs to be expanded. The construction project will add 2,000 square feet for expanded dining and resources center space and administrative offices. We also plan to reconfigure the parking lot to make it safer for pedestrians.
Construction will begin in Fall 2024 once all funding is committed.
