This Dellbrook|JKS project involved the renovation of a 12-story, 92,500 SF structure, originally built in 1973, into an affordable senior housing building, now with 132 one-bedroom units. The scope of work included new helical piles and foundation, composite metal panel siding, an emergency generator, replacement of fin-tube radiation, and supplemental through-wall AC units with new vertical heat pumps, a new cooling tower, as well as elevator upgrades. The building’s exterior received a roof replacement, new windows, insulation of walls, masonry & concrete restoration. Within the units themselves, existing lighting was replaced, installment of additional lighting, kitchen cabinet repairs or replacements in each unit, as well as new closet doors, new paint, and replacement of floors. Renovations were carefully coordinated while the building was fully occupied.
