About the New Facility
A New Home for CHF—Coming in 2027
As part of Beach Cities Health District’s Healthy Living Campus master plan, CHF will move into a new, state-of-the-art facility at 510 N. Prospect Avenue in early 2027.
Why Now?
- Our current facility at 514 N. Prospect Avenue faces seismic and structural challenges common to buildings of its era
- The new CHF will feature purpose-built amenities: modernized classrooms, updated equipment and welcoming spaces
- Members will continue to enjoy the programs they love—yoga, Pilates, personal training, massage and more—but in a new, state-of-the-art facility built to serve our community for decades to come.
