Hearthstone Village is a new upscale senior apartment complex in Latham, NY. U.W. Marx built three new 3-story wood frame apartment buildings, totaling more than 164,000 SF of construction. Each building contains 48 one or two bedroom apartments. Marx also constructed 10 garages on the site.

Hearthstone Village also includes an 8,000 sf community clubhouse, complete with a lap pool, locker rooms, large community room with commercial kitchen, a billiards and game room, a media center conference room, and an exercise/fitness room.

Samaritan Village, Ellenville, NY
U.W. Marx's general contracting division constructed extensive additions and alterations at Samaritan Village, located in Ellenville, NY.

Samaritan Village is a 228-bed adult residential treatment center for alcohol and substance abuse, offering intensive and highly structured residential treatment programs for its clients.

New construction at the Ulster County complex included two dormitory buildings, program and education building, recreation building, maintenance building, and medical and dental facilities. Samaritan Village's new dining and food service area includes a full restaurant-grade kitchen. New construction at the site totals more than 96,000 s/f.

South Mall Towers Senior Housing, Albany, NY.

SENIOR HOUSING/RENOVATION & RESTORATION

South Mall Towers Senior Housing, Albany, NY
The South Mall Towers rehabilitation project involved extensive renovations to one 19-story hi-rise building and one 9-story mid-rise building, comprising more than 345 senior citizen apartments.

Included in the renovation and rehabilitation at the low- to middle-income senior housing facility were new windows, replacement of the aging heating system, complete asbestos abatement, exterior masonry restoration, and new roofing. Interior renovations included upgrades to the resident's common areas, the lobby, elevators, and facility kitchens and baths.

Most significantly, the restoration project was conducted without displacing any of the tenants at the Capital District of NY's largest senior housing facility. The 346 unit complex now serves a senior population that is considerably older and more frail than when the buildings were constructed, providing a broad array of social and recreational services to the area's lowest-income seniors.

Phase I consisted of 73,000 s/f of construction, and included 81 apartments, a community center, resident lounge, arts and crafts room and administrative offices.


Renovation of historic Acton Civill Polytechnic Institute into new senior housing complex, Coeymans, NY.

SENIOR HOUSING/HISTORIC RESTORATION & RENOVATION

Acton Civill Senior Apartments, Coeymans, NY
U.W. Marx was hired to carefully renovate and convert the long-vacant and deteriorated school building into a much-needed community senior housing facility. The building was rehabilitated with funding from the New York Housing Trust Fund and private investors.

Marx successfully converted the building, constructed in 1874, into 28 apartments which were designed for moderate income senior citizens. Redevelopment included the installation of an elevator, community room, library, and laundry facilities.

The National Historic Register-listed building is well-suited to meet the needs of its mature residents, and once again contributes to the region's tax base.

The project featured enhancements to the lobby, kitchen and dining facilities, as well as extensive upgrades to the historic structure�s mechanical systems.
