The MilePost 5 project was a remodel of an existing, 3-story affordable housing building initially erected in 4 phases about 100 years ago. Originally a community for the elderly, this complex now houses a group of artists living on Levels 2 and 3, with commercial spaces rented out on Level 1, including a community woodshop, public art display area and catering business to name a few.
The remodel consisted of an upgrade to the existing elevator, paint and flooring upgrades to common areas such as the chapel/theater space, and a voluntary seismic upgrade to several units on Level 3. The exterior renovations included a full seal of existing brick, significant tuckpointing improvements, traffic coating installed at all stair landings and paint of existing handrails and window frames.
