Platz Associates engaged with this large block of housing units that was in need of major upgrades. This project was a Maine Housing Tax Credit Project and therefore needed to meet strict requirements for system replacement, air sealing, and material durability. Platz Associates and the building owner renovated a few buildings at a time to keep existing tenants within the complex during construction. The complex consists of 1, 2, and 3 bedrooms unit types in various arrangements.
Major systems that were replaced include underground plumbing utilities, bathrooms, and attic insulation. In addition, all units were air-sealed to meet the blower-door test for renovated existing buildings. The first units to be renovated have passed this requirement.
