The Project
CSRE brought their vision for this building to life. They updated the roof, hallways, landscaping, and common areas, as well as the lobby and elevator. All apartment kitchens and bathrooms were updated with stainless steel appliances, modern finishes and fixtures, and new lighting and flooring, Larger apartments received additional upgrades, such as crown moldings, surface countertops, and tile backsplashes.
They also installed an indoor fitness center, coffee bar, an outdoor atrium Wi-Fi area and a bike-sharing program in conjunction with the City of West Hartford.
The Result
Instead of demolishing the asset, CSRE took a property with no amenities, modern conveniences or updated spaces and turned it into a highly-amenitized, updated building that retained its vintage feel. The Packard, which had become an eyesore in the community, was restored to its original grandeur and added to the West Hartford Historical Society's tour.
