Fairchild Acquisition’s strategy is to rehab the interior of the building to transform the old, empty warehouse into a renovated 11-unit apartment building with amenities. On the first floor, we are developing three apartment units, a three-bedroom unit, a large two-bedroom unit, and a one-bedroom unit, as well as a lobby with a social gathering area and a business center.
On the second and third floor, we are creating a small lobby as well as four apartment units: a large two-bedroom units, 2 smaller two-bedroom units, and a one-bedroom unit. Additionally, we are rehabilitating the empty basement into a fitness center and social space for our tenants. The construction budget on this rehabilitation is approximately $1,000,000 and estimated completion is 18 months.
