What's New Because of their scope, the BHA modernization projects require extensive planning and design and are often years in duration. Major projects in 2008: Belair Tower -- We began construction on a $1.4 million special needs housing project that has been 10 years in the making and that will provide housing for eight Department of Mental Health clients. Crescent Court - We began construction of this residence's phase 3 comprehensive modernization. The $1.2 million project entailed new kitchens, electrical and plumbing up-grades, new storage sheds and site signage. We also began planning and designing phase 4, the $2.8 million final phase that will include new hardwood flooring, baseboard heat, bathroom ventilation, walkway paving, landscaping and enhancements that meet earthquake-related building codes. Washburn Heights - We engaged the DHCD about financing alternatives for a Washburn Heights modernization project. We also submitted two stimulus funding applications to the DHCD for modernization projects at Washburn Heights, Belair Towers and other residences. Energy saving project - We completed $2 million worth of energy saving improvements to our federal properties, which will result in long-term energy and water savings.
