TESTIMONIAL
"To come from where we were to now, it's unbelievable. It really is. We're not a blight anymore on the neighborhood. We're committed to keeping it beautiful and keeping it safe. We don't want it to go back to the way it was."

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This renovation project consisted of a major rehabilitation of seven historic brick buildings into sixty units of multi-family affordable apartments, including a range of one, two and three bedroom units. The building interiors were completely reconfigured to provide larger, more functional apartments and to incorporate community facilities for resident use. The design team carefully reintroduced historic details to the building exteriors, including cornices, window and entry details that had deteriorated or been removed in previous renovations. Site redesign included the separation of one, large parking lot into two smaller lots, replacement of wall-to-wall paving in the courtyard with an attractive walkway, new play area and planting beds, and the addition of landscaping, ornamental lighting, fencing and outdoor seating throughout the site.
