Breathe new life into older properties and increase their value, appeal and performance.
Building Revitalization by Presto Constructions
Breathe new life into older properties and increase their value, appeal and performance.
An ageing building doesn't have to be torn down to compete. Revitalization upgrades the parts that matter most to tenants and owners: entrances, lobbies, facades, common areas, building systems and energy performance.
Presto Constructions plans revitalization projects around occupied buildings, phasing work to minimize disruption to tenants and keeping the property operating throughout.
What's included
Facade and envelope upgrades
New cladding, windows and entrances.
Lobbies and common areas
Corridors, amenities and washrooms modernized.
Energy retrofits
Lighting, HVAC and envelope improvements that cut operating costs.
Accessibility upgrades
Ramps, doors, elevators and barrier-free washrooms.
Suite repositioning
Vacant units renovated to attract new tenants.
Phased occupied work
Construction planned around tenants and operations.
