SALEM, MA — Salem Heights will soon undergo an extensive renovation and modernization through a $55 million MassDevelopment tax-exempt bond.
The Preservation Associates Limited Partnership, which will own the 281-unit, lower-incoming complex, intends to use the bond proceeds to renovate the Pope Street rental housing that is home to about 500 residents.
The renovations include updating the building's exterior, installing new windows and new roofs with six more inches of insulation, making 15 more units accessible, extensive ductwork and repair, improved ventilation and cooling systems, plumbing upgrades and common area improvements.
