Duke Street | 18 Unit Alteration

Hamilton

Property Type: Multi-Unit Apartment Building
Final Layout: 18 × 1-Bedroom Units

Project Overview:
Located in the heart of Downtown Hamilton, this apartment building began as a severely damaged and gutted structure, uninhabitable and long-vacant. With full control of the site and no existing tenants, our construction team led the charge on a complete interior and exterior restoration, transforming it into a fully modernized 18-unit apartment building, each suite offering a comfortable and efficient 1-bedroom layout.

This project stands as a testament to what’s possible when vision, execution, and experience come together—reviving distressed real estate into high-demand rental housing.

Scope & Strategy:

• Stripped the interior down to its shell and rebuilt all structural, mechanical, and interior systems

• Created 18 self-contained 1-bedroom units, each with full kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, and natural light access

• Upgraded electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire separation, egress, and soundproofing to comply with OBC multi-unit residential standards

• Modernized the building façade, entrances, common areas, and site infrastructure for long-term durability and tenant appeal

Challenges Solved:

• Tackled major damage and neglect throughout the building structure

• Managed all phases of construction without occupancy delays due to the building being vacant

• Brought a non-functional asset up to full legal occupancy and rental standard

Investor Benefits:

• Delivered 18 brand new units in a market with high rental demand

• Reclaimed a non-performing asset into a fully income-generating property

• Ideal unit mix (1-bed suites) for consistent tenant turnover, cash flow, and management simplicity

Current Status:
Construction near completion. Leasing completed.
