East Gadsden apartments to be renovated

East Gadsdens Garden Terrace Apartments will be renovated and remodeled, but the original plans have changed, according to an architect working with the property’s owners.

Pat Sherman said the three Canadian owners of the 96-unit site on Hillside Circle were unable to get Affordable Housing tax credits for the project, necessitating the changes.

Sherman said the owners will renovate the units four to eight at the time, finish work on them and get them occupied, then begin work on the others until they are all completed.

Since the tax credits were not available, Sherman said, the owners will be funding the project.

Sherman said the owners are getting a price on roofing the initial units to be renovated and the entire complex to stabilize it. She said work will begin soon and the first units could be finished in four to six months.
