The Apartments at 186 Markland

The newly-renovated apartments at 186 Markland St. have been happily occupied since 2017.

This building is the mirror image of its attached partner, 184 Markland Street. We did a top-to-bottom renovation here—new walls, doors, electrics, plumbing, fixtures, appliances, and new layouts.

Currently, the new decks and stairs for Apartments 1 and 2 are under construction. The new landscaping front and back, and new parking were completed in 2017.

All the apartments have been rented, and are happily occupied.
