Federation Gardens of Davie is a classic example of the Fairstead way. That means the company’s acquisition of the property comes with a commitment to maintaining its affordable housing status for at least another 30 years. It also means that due to Fairstead’s commitment to affordable housing, the company can undertake a more comprehensive renovation.

In this case, the result looks like this in each of the studio and one-bedroom units: fully redone kitchens, featuring stainless steel and energy-efficient appliances and new cabinetry; new bathrooms, with low-flow toilets; updated HVAC systems and window replacements; and the installation of LED lighting fixtures. All necessary upgrades were undertaken to meet HVI and UFAS standards as well.

Future enhancements will rejuvenate the resident lounges and add a new kitchen to a community room. Similarly, a robust set of social services programs will include education and meal support, health awareness, employment services, assisted home care and resident events.
