Project Background

Initial Investment

The property is located in a sub-market with robust opportunities for employment and continued economic growth. The structure was well built, with clear opportunities for enhancement that would correspond with an enhanced rent premium.

Executing Strategic Enhancements

Greenlite has transformed the property with upgraded interiors, a full exterior renovation, and an energy efficiency overhaul. All units were upgraded, and the exterior renovation included new paint, new street signage, landscaping, and a resurfaced parking lot.

The Project Details

Greenlite has invested over $422,000 in capital improvements over the past 12 months into interior renovations of all 50 units, a complete exterior renovation involving new paint, new street signage, landscaping, resurfaced parking lot, and a complete energy efficiency overhaul including a brand new boiler and chiller system, low-flow toilets, efficient aerators and showerheads, and solar screens on all exterior windows. Future Ownership has the opportunity to continue new plan of a upgraded interior package with new, black appliances and upgraded cabinetry. Currently, the upgraded unit is receiving a monthly rent premium of $57 with an investment cost of $2,800.
