How Hazelview Properties transformed West Lodge towers into community-oriented, quality housing.

Prior to Hazelview Properties taking over in 2018, the apartment buildings at 103 and 105 West Lodge Avenue had a troubled history. But since Hazelview Properties took over the buildings in 2018 the company has spent more than $23 million and transformed the properties “into sustainable and resilient apartment buildings.

Hazelview renovated the buildings, added modern systems and technology geared toward eco-consciousness, and plans to plant more than 1000 trees and shrubs around the properties. Additionally, Hazelview is putting a lot of emphasis on rebuilding a sense of community at West Lodge, adding facilities like libraries, play areas for children, and other communal areas designed to empower and improve the lives of residents. This is complemented by the work of a dedicated Community Liaison for the West Lodge Community.

The work was undertaken hand in hand with tenants, some of whom participated in the rebranding and revitalization of their community. West Lodge is a great example of how tenant-rental-housing provider collaborations can create better housing for residents.
