Minutes note: Paul Thornton, Project Manager at Travaux, provided information about Merrill Park: it is a 9-story, 120 unit multi-family development at 222 North 33rd Street. Scott Simon, Travaux’s Vice President of Business Development, explained that the target for the RAD closing is the end of November so the property can shift its subsidy to project-based vouchers and begin construction at the start of 2020. Fernando Aniban, HACM Chief Financial Officer, added that yesterday, HACM’s Board approved the LLC entering into the contract with Travaux. The units are all 1-Bedroom, 444 square feet. Twenty-four units will be converted into fully accessible units, the rest of the units will receive items such as new finishes, cabinets, countertops, flooring, appliances, plumbing and painting. There will also be work done in the common areas, parking and possible landscaping. All the light fixtures will become LED outlets. The 24 units being modified for accessibility will have mechanical and electrical work related to the accessibility modifications.
In answer to a question about which staff are lead on the project during what stages, Mr. Simon explained that these projects begin with him who shepherds it through to the permitting process, where things start being passed over to a Project Manager of the construction staff, led by Warren Jones. There are also Travaux staff managing on site. | ADOPTED | Pass | 7:0 |
