Renovated means renovated
What’s been redone
These are 1970s buildings kept honest: the bones were good, so we replaced the parts you actually live with. Every photo on this page was taken in our apartments.
The kitchen
New cabinets, subway-tile backsplash, new countertops, and new appliances — a kitchen that feels brand new.
The bathroom
New vanity, new lighting, new fixtures. Clean and current.
Everything else
New flooring and fresh paint throughout, updated lighting and ceiling fans. Washers and dryers in select units, and garage rentals when you want one.
