East Lake Tower is a major renovation of an eight-story senior housing community overlooking the historic East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. The project modernized 149 residential units and updated key amenity spaces to improve accessibility, functionality, and overall quality of life for residents. The renovation included a full interior reconfiguration of the residential units, providing larger kitchens, updated bathrooms, and improved storage including walk-in closets. Each unit was redesigned to enhance accessibility and comfort while maintaining affordability for senior residents. Significant exterior improvements were also implemented. The building received new energy-efficient windows and a modern glass storefront system for balconies, creating a refreshed exterior appearance while improving building performance. These upgrades contribute to long-term sustainability and reduced operational costs. Common areas were also reimagined to support resident wellness and social engagement. Renovations included upgrades to the fitness center, computer room, and wellness spaces, along with the addition of a new movie theater room and improved leasing and management offices. Through thoughtful modernization and accessibility improvements, the East Lake Tower renovation extends the life of this important affordable housing resource while creating a more welcoming and functional environment for senior residents.
