After many years of talk, rehabilitation of Crescent Halls is underway. [3]
The Chicago-based construction company GMA Construction group will publish a final cost for the redevelopment of the existing structure in December 2019 as well as a guaranteed maximum price. The estimated cost of refurbishing the units is $17.7 million. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2020. [4]
Stalled redevelopment
For years, residents have complained about dilapidated conditions at the facility. [5]
A previous master plan adopted by the CRHA in July 2010 had Crescent Halls slated to be one of the first projects in the CRHA's redevelopment process[6]. The master plan created by Wallace Roberts & Todd estimated the renovation would cost as much as $5.75 million at the time. [2] Two units will be lost due to the renovation.
