Our Renovation Process

Landmark works directly with business owners and property management companies to provide solutions tailored to their goals while allowing tenants to remain in their units, providing the least amount of disruption to the tenants and on-site management.

While the solution appears straightforward – e.g. renovate the units with the tenants in place – the implementation requires:

  • A well thought out plan
  • Systematic project management
  • Detailed budgeting
  • Experienced execution

Traditionally there are 2 ways renovations are approached:

1. Renovate as Units Turn Over:   This method involves renovating the units as they are vacated by tenants. This approach takes time as multiple variables impact the speed of the renovation:  tenants moving out and availably of subcontractors both can slow down this process.

2. Renovate in Phases.  This method involves rehabbing entire buildings, all at once by relocating tenants into other spaces over time. This approach results in an excessive amount of vacant days. 

Obviously, the revenues lost during either approach is a problem. But Landmark has a proprietary method of renovating units with the tenants “in place” with little-to-no disruption in their daily lives and no disruption in the revenue they represent.

Landmark’s innovative approach to rapid occupied unit renovations drives capital improvement projects for multifamily market rate housing, student housing, and affordable housing.

In addition, Landmark also performs the following competencies:

  • Vacant unit renovations
  • Common area interior renovations
  • Common area exterior renovation
  • Catastrophe restoration
