Cannon Street East | 06 Unit Conversion
Hamilton
Property Type: 6-Unit Walk-Up Residential Building
Project Overview:
This 6-unit building was due for more than just a facelift. Years of wear—and outdated framing methods—required a major structural intervention before any interior upgrades could begin. Our team was brought on to oversee a full rebuild of key framing components, including load-bearing wall removal and replacement with new beams, joists, and structural supports.
Once the building’s backbone was restored, we moved into the second phase: a complete cosmetic renovation to modernize unit interiors and boost long-term tenant appeal.
Scope & Strategy:
Removed aging interior partition walls to open up layouts and improve space planning.
Installed engineered beams and new floor joists to replace compromised structural elements and support updated floor plans.
Coordinated full interior renovations: new flooring, cabinetry, lighting, and finishes across all units, while maintaining compliance with multi-unit residential fire and sound separation standards.
Challenges Solved:
Replaced aging and unsafe framing without displacing all tenants at once—phased execution for cost control.
Balanced structural upgrades with updated mechanical runs, electrical, and layout changes.
Designed cosmetic improvements to match the durability and performance of the structural work for long-term value.
Investor Benefits:
Improved structural integrity and building lifespan—critical for financing, insurance, and safety.
Created more functional, attractive unit layouts aligned with today’s rental market expectations.
Combined infrastructure improvements with aesthetic upgrades to boost rent potential and resale value.
Current Status:
Structural retrofit completed. Cosmetic renovations underway across all units.
