The renovations will include new roofs, kitchen cabinets, kitchen cabinets, sinks, fixtures, energy-efficient appliances and low flow toilets as well as the replacement of unit and common area HVAC systems.
The second investment—Park View at Randallstown— features 103 one-bedroom units in one, three-story building with an elevator. The developments will include the installation of new roofs and gutters, new windows, common area floor painting, Energy Star lighting and community room improvements. Unit renovations will include the installation of new cabinets, countertops and flooring, Energy Star appliances, new hot water heaters, new HVAC units, Energy Star light fixtures, cabinets and countertops. Accessibility issues will be addressed throughout the building.
“These developments offer seniors high-quality, affordable housing with enhanced amenities and great locations close to area retail, medical and community services,” said Jack Manning, President and CEO of Boston Capital. “We are pleased to be involved in the production of much-needed affordable housing in Maryland, expanding the options available to seniors with low to moderate incomes.”
