Pecan Point is located at 100 Pecan Point Circle in Cochran, Georgia. This project is a complete renovation of all units and includes the addition of an expanded community center and manager's office.
The developer for the project was Prestwick Development. The general contractor was Prestwick Construction. Architectural services were provided by Studio 8 Design Architects
Pecan Point is a 48 unit general family affordable housing community that was originally constructed in the early 1990's. Apartments are available as either 1 or 2 bedroom units with accessible units available. The community also includes a newly constructed community center and updated playground for the children. The community is also close to most public facilities, stores, restaurants, places of worship, and schools.
Work on the first phase began in November 2012. The final phase was completed in late August 2013. When renovation began, a number of problems were found, including wood rot and termite damage, poor insulation, old and poorly working heat pump systems, inefficient water heat systems, poorly functioning appliances, and high energy bills.
When all work was completed, not only were the problem areas corrected. Along with correcting the structural problems, these apartments were converted to beautiful buildings inside and out.
The photo gallery below show samples of Pecan Point before, during, and after.
Synergy's only role at Pecan Point was to provide EarthCraft Technical advisory, inspection, and testing services. We had no other role in this project.
