Serving as the CGRES Capital Improvements team, we successfully delivered a comprehensive overhaul of the resident common spaces at Quarry Trail. Our team managed end-to-end execution—from initial interior design coordination to directing multiple specialized trades, including general contractors, pool specialists, and FF&E installers—delivering a modernized, high-impact community on schedule and under budget.
At Montara Park, the CGRES Capital Improvements team brought a fresh vision to life through a full-scale property revitalization. Balancing aesthetic appeal with heavy-duty structural improvements, our crew synchronized multiple trades to deliver a modernized, high-performing community right on schedule and under budget.
As the Owner’s Representative for a $3.5 million structural balcony remediation program, we spearheaded consultant procurement, design-team management, and a Cost-Plus GMP contract to execute extensive repairs—including balcony assembly reconstruction, Juliet railing installations, patio door replacements, and exterior refinishing—within an occupied building. By establishing a collaborative design-assist dynamic between ownership, engineering, and the general contractor, we successfully value-engineered the repair strategy to reduce overall costs, avoid resident relocations, and deliver a fully compliant, durable solution aligned with long-term asset performance.
Arcadia in Charlotte, NC features spacious units, luxurious amenities, and a convenient location near the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Despite these factors, Arcadia saw the challenge of finding additional value-add for the property due to an oversaturation of student housing within the market. We were able to deliver significant improvements to the community, creating additional value-add through CapEx projects including unit and amenity upgrades. The robust plan for improvements was carefully executed over the course of three months with timely completion and no delays.
Millennium completed a comprehensive capital improvement program modernizing both living spaces and community amenities. In-unit renovations introduced upgraded flooring, cabinetry, appliances, and contemporary furnishings alongside integrated smart tech like smart locks and TVs. Amenity spaces were equally revitalized, featuring a refreshed fitness center with new equipment, redesigned private study areas, and an upgraded resort-style pool retreat.
Westmar Lofts completed a comprehensive transformation of the amenity spaces, blending West Midtown style with modern student convenience. Living spaces now feature upgraded furniture, new countertops, cabinetry, and sinks, paired with smart tech. The property overhaul also revitalized core amenities, delivering an updated fitness center and yoga studio, refreshed clubroom and game areas, modernized package lockers, and an elevated poolside lounge with daybeds and BBQ grills.
