40+ Unit Affordable Housing Renovation

A troubled asset turned back into homes, without a single unit leaving the affordable inventory.

Restoring aging multifamily housing requires coordination, technical execution, and a clear understanding of the people the property ultimately serves.

Description of services

Renovation of a distressed apartment community with units sitting empty and building systems failing. Usource brought more than 40 units back online for income-eligible families: fresh interiors, updated kitchens and baths, and upgraded building systems, delivered while keeping every unit affordable.

Enhanced outcomes

Preserved affordable housing. A struggling property turned into a stable one, with renovated homes residents can be proud of and a property owner who now has a building that serves the people it was built for.

Why it was difficult

Occupied and partially vacant multifamily renovation is among the least forgiving work in construction. Every week a unit stays offline is rent the property does not collect and a family that does not have a home. The sequencing, not the scope, is what determines whether the numbers work.
