Gillis Gilkerson, one of the most stable and trusted construction management and general contracting firms on Delmarva, announced it has completed the renovation of Bay Terrace affordable housing community at 517 Bay Street in Berlin, Maryland.

“This project gave us the opportunity to be a part of rejuvenating a community for its residents and their families,” said Dwight Miller, president, Gillis Gilkerson. “A vote of confidence from a returning customer indicates we are delivering a quality product which meets their needs and makes me very proud of our team.”

The project included the rehabilitation of thirty-two apartment units consisting of one, two, three and four bedroom units in three, two-story wood framed buildings. Selective exterior and interior demolition of existing materials and finishes was initiated along with renovations to concrete, wood framing, wood roof trusses, shingles, siding and trim.

New plumbing fixtures, lighting and electrical equipment were also installed. A single story wood-framed building was also rehabilitated for a new community center which includes a community room equipped with computers and an outdoor playground.

“The owner was very satisfied with the performance of Gillis Gilkerson,” said Tim Barila, vice president, Severn Development Company. “The residents are thrilled with the renovations. You can’t believe the transformation that took place. You honestly wouldn’t recognize it as the same community. We have a history of successful projects with Gillis Gilkerson and look forward to the next project.”

This was one of several projects Gillis Gilkerson was hired to complete for Severn Development Company. Others include Jefferson Apartments in Lewes, Delaware, Victoria Estates in Berlin and Federalsburg Square Apartments in Denton, Maryland.
