Over 150 residents in a family housing community in Connecticut will be able to enjoy a revitalized, renovated complex soon.
Connecticut Housing Partners announced the anticipated rehabilitation of Parkside Gables at 235 West Ave. in Stamford.
The community, built in 1991, currently consists of two- and three-story buildings with individual garages and 69 apartments. The renovations will make it “safe, energy-efficient and high quality,” according to Connecticut Housing Partners. Representatives of Connecticut Housing Partners said the project will take 18 months to complete.
According to a statement, “renovations will include complete interior upgrades, such as new flooring, fresh paint, and updated bathrooms and kitchens that will feature new energy-efficient appliances. In addition to the improved quality of life features, residents will also benefit from enhanced energy efficiency with the installation of cost-saving heating, cooling, and electrical systems.
“Exterior improvements will feature the installation of energy-efficient vinyl clapboard siding over insulation, replacement of roofing, gutter systems, and windows and doors, as well as upgrades to stairs, sidewalks, parking areas, and drainage systems. The overhaul of improvements will enhance the community’s overall appearance, safety, livability, and sustainability.”
A CT organization is giving a total of $2.9M to 29 towns. Here’s how and why.
“This complete makeover is vital to ensuring the long-term sustainability and affordability of our properties that serve hundreds of residents,” said Renée Dobos, CEO of Connecticut Housing Partners. “We know that stable, affordable housing provides a foundation for better outcomes in employment, health, education, and overall well-being, particularly for vulnerable members of our community. This marks the first comprehensive renovation for Parkside Gables in many years, allowing us to enhance the quality of life for our residents.”
