Queen Anne Apartment Building Remodel

Queen Anne Apartment Building Remodel

Harjo Construction partnered with Moorman Properties to renovate their Aqua Terrace Apartment building, originally built in 1959. This project aimed to enhance the building’s infrastructure, aesthetics, and tenant experience, ensuring its continued appeal as a prime rental property located on the south slope of Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood.

Our extensive renovation encompassed critical upgrades and modernizations:

• Structural & Seismic Enhancements: The project involved the retrofitting and replacement of original steel columns, the entire steel stair structure, and associated concrete treads and landings. This crucial work provided updated structural and seismic support, bringing the mid-century building up to modern standards of safety and resilience.
• Modernized Exterior Details: We implemented a new semi-custom aluminum and glass railing system for all decks and walkways, enhancing safety and views. A fully custom glass entry system was installed, alongside selective siding and soffit replacement, and a full repaint of the building’s vertical surfaces.
• Expanded & Upgraded Amenities: The project included the installation of new garage doors, upgraded garage interiors with new demising walls and shelving, and new power distribution and conduit throughout the building. Specialty lighting allowances and outdoor lighting control systems were integrated to enhance ambiance and security.
• Waterproofing & Durability: Concrete walkways and decks received a new “duradek” membrane for waterproofing, along with extensive concrete repairs and grouting to ensure long-term durability against the elements.
• Enhanced Tenant Experience: Custom signage, updated electrical infrastructure (including new outlets and wiring in garages and common areas), and a thorough exterior power wash contributed to a refreshed and appealing environment for residents.

This comprehensive apartment building remodel modernized the rental property, preserving its iconic views while providing a safe, updated, and attractive home for its tenants.
