From a press release:

UIP General Contracting, Inc. (UIPGC) has completed a full-scale $4.5 million renovation of Takoma Flats, located on the border of Washington, DC and Silver Spring, Maryland. The six-building garden style community consists of 71 existing units and 17 newly constructed units in previously non-leasable cellar space.

Rock Creek Property Group, LLC and Baybridge Group acquired the project formerly known as Juniper Gardens in November of 2011. They then hired UIPGC to provide plan review and value engineering services as well as perform the renovations. The scope of work, in addition to creating the 17 new units, included: replacing antiquated, inefficient central boiler systems with individual in-unit HVAC systems; installing new upgraded electrical systems; creating in-ground patios for the terrace level units; and full-scale interior renovation of all units including newly upgraded kitchens and bathrooms.
