Mailboxes will be accessible at all times. Temporary mailboxes may be setup while the mailroom is undergoing renovations.

The renovation will include new kitchens fitted with new Energy Star rated appliances, new cabinets and countertops, renovated bathrooms with new fixtures and low flow toilets, new flooring suitable for residents with any range of mobility impairment, and new energy-efficient and modernized lighting.
 
Building exterior and common area renovations will include new and upgraded lighting, windows and doors and improvements in all common areas and amenity spaces (new furniture, flooring, finishes, fixtures and paint).

Each phase of the renovation will be confined to specific areas of the building at a time. This plan will limit the proximity of the contractors to residents of other occupied units. In addition, contractors will do a daily cleaning of the jobsite and any common areas that may affect the residents and staff.

If your Reasonable Accommodation is approved, the construction team will implement the modifications into the final unit you are going to be moving into as part of the renovation process. If you are staying in a temporary unit, staff will work to locate one that is pre-equipped to handle the Reasonable Accommodation. Please note, not all temporary units will be able to accommodate everyone’s Reasonable Accommodation. The owner is responsible for only providing those on a permanent basis. Please feel free to contact your Community Manager at the phone number and email address provided above if you have questions or concerns about your approved Reasonable Accommodation in your temporary or renovated unit.
