(March 3, 2016) Gillis Gilkerson general contracting and construction management firms announced it has been hired to renovate Bay Terrace Garden Apartments, an affordable housing community located at 517 Bay Street in Berlin.
The project is a joint venture between Severn Development Company, based in Annapolis, and Berlin Community Housing Corporation, a local nonprofit based in Berlin.
During the gut rehab, Gillis Gilkerson will strip each unit down to the bare walls. The three buildings (32 units total) will be renovated to include new siding, roofs, stairs, flooring, HVAC, windows, drywall, plumbing and paint. New appliances and cabinets will also be installed.
The community building will be renovated to include a manager’s office, kitchenette and communal space equipped with computers for resident’s use.
The project will also extend the ends of each building by 10 feet, which will make the units larger and provide more secure entry points and stairwells. Bay Terrace Garden Apartments are being renovated in accordance with Enterprise Green Communities Certification Standards.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with Severn Development Company again,” said Dwight Miller, president, Gillis Gilkerson. “Especially on a project that will enhance the quality of life for its residents. After our team is done with the gut rehab, community members won’t even recognize their homes as they will look brand new.”
“We enjoy working with Gillis Gilkerson,” said Tim Barila, Severn Development Company. “We have worked with them previously and know they have a reputation for delivering quality work in a timely manner and on budget. We look forward to this next venture.”
Gillis Gilkerson Project Manager Jason Rudd and Superintendent Charlie Morris are scheduled to complete the renovation within the year.
