Working in a challenged urban neighborhood, community leaders approached Gorman & Company to acquire and revitalize a very troubled apartment complex. Dilapidated conditions, overcrowding, gang violence, prostitution, and drug trafficking made the development the scourge of the community. Virtually all unit plans were fundamentally redesigned. A demanding, well-funded property management plan was put in place. Community amenities such as a swimming pool, community room, computer room and exercise facility were added. The 106 modernized, affordable apartments are now viewed as an attractive asset in the community.
