Hoewood Point was an 80-unit Lemle & Wolff development project financed by HDC & HPD. Given the condition of the properties, tenants were relocated in phases to accommodate the construction scope of work and schedule.

The substantial renovation included joist replacement, all new apartments, extensive masonry repairs, new major systems, new windows, lead and asbestos abatement, and a comprehensive energy reduction program under Enterprise Green Communities. Each building also has a solar thermal system with rooftop panels that assist in heating the hot water supply.

Hoewood Point started construction in June 2012 and was completed in early 2014.

Total units: 80 plus two commercial spaces
Construction contract: $9.6 million

Aurea was the gut renovation of two distressed Bronx properties and was one of the most challenging projects that Lemle & Wolff has undertaken. In addition to addressing dangerous structural conditions at both buildings, the company needed to vacate more than 50 tenants and remediate an oil spill that occurred after removing the fuel tank at one of the buildings. Despite these issues, construction was completed six months ahead of schedule and tenants returned to their newly-renovated apartments one year after relocating.

Total units: 85 plus three commercial spaces
Construction contract: $13.25 million
