Sanitas Place Apartments Renovation

Project Summary

Milender White (MW) worked with Boulder Housing Partners and OZ Architecture in a pricing, value engineering and build process for a comprehensive interior and exterior renovation of these affordable apartments. Sanitas Place is part of BHP’s workforce housing portfolio and houses families that earn less than 50% of area median income. This 12-unit community contains mostly two-bedroom rentals.

The two-story, 34,860 sq. ft. building was a former motel that was lacking in curb appeal and overall aesthetics. Interior and exterior renovations and improvements included:

• Replacement or refurbishment of entry point and drive lane signage at front of building
• New wall and fence at sidewalk with plantings and trees
• Patio areas for each ground floor unit
• Complete interior remodel of each unit including paint, flooring, kitchen countertops and cabinets, bathroom vanities and tops, existing tile repair, lighting fixtures, ceiling fans, appliances and PTAC units
• Exterior façade upgrades
• Roof patching and insulation
• Community garden, BBQ and play area
• New storage and bike enclosure

To accommodate BHP and the Sanitas Place residents, MW started construction after Thanksgiving and completed the interior renovations in time for everyone to move back home before Christmas. This extremely tight schedule required extensive pre-planning and was successfully met through great teamwork.
