Multifamily Housing

Savoy Apartments

This 1990s multifamily property underwent a stunning transformation to meet the needs of today’s residents while staying within a tight budget. Thoughtful updates reimagined underused spaces, added modern amenities and enhanced the overall community experience.

Key changes included an inviting entry, a revamped fitness center with exposed high ceilings and multifunctional workspaces. The redesigned clubhouse now features a coffee bar, conference room and an indoor/outdoor kitchen with a lounge for resident gatherings.

By blending creativity and functionality, the renovation retained current residents and attracted new ones, making this property a competitive standout.
