Harrington Heights Affordable Housing Honored with Ruby Award

We are enormously honored that Harrington Heights Affordable Housing has been recognized as the 2026 Ruby Award Project of the Year – New Construction by the San Diego Housing Federation.

Harrington Heights is a 15-story, 273-unit residential tower in downtown San Diego, CA, designed to provide safe and stable housing for low-income and vulnerable individuals and families including those previously experiencing homelessness, homeless veterans, and residents with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

Beyond housing, the project provides support services operated by the Alpha Project for the Homeless, including education and skill-building classes focused on computer literacy, job counseling, financial literacy, and health and wellness, educational programming, wellness resources. Additional services include a food pantry and social activities that encourage resident involvement, reduce isolation, and foster a strong sense of community. The ground floor features nearly 10,000 square feet of commercial and office space, creating opportunities for neighborhood activation and supportive programming.

This award reflects the collective commitment of Chelsea Investment Corporation and a dedicated team of internal and external partners who helped bring this project to life. Internal team includes Joseph Wong, FAIA, Matthew Geaman, AIA, LEED AP, Bert Shear, RA, Catherine Arreaza, AIA, and Zhuoxin Fang.

A huge thanks to the San Diego Housing Federation for this honor, and congratulations to everyone involved in making Harrington Heights a reality.
