historic building restoration / updating ideas

[Assaf Arie]

Hello BP community!

We’ve been practicing multi family investing for 10 years now. Through blood, sweat and cash-flow we developed a decent model that generated above market returns for us. We started our own GC company so we have end-to-end control over our rehab process, and my crazy ideas (“Let’s try an island here” “Butcher counter top would look great here..” “I hate this!” etc..).

We just Got under contract for a beautiful building with a ton of historic features, and instead on coming in and completely gutting out the units, we want to work around these classic features, while providing modern touch and feel; mainly the woodwork around the unit (beautiful floors,trim, doors and kitchen cabinets that I don’t want to touch much).

We typically come in with a VERY modern approach, however we’d like to adopt for this one. We are looking for resources and/or inspiration for color scheme, hardware / fixtures ideas, restoration tips, and mainly to connect with some of you that have done this kind of a project before.

Cheers!
