RENOVATION VS. NEW CONSTRUCTION
Renovation Utilizes current assets – i.e. existing
buildings and site.
It can be challenging to run operations and have residents living adjacent to the area being renovated during construction
Change can be difficult to manage with staff and residents
The existing building structure can have obstacles that limit your options.
Potential loss of revenue during the construction process
New Construction Allows for culture change to occur
Minimal disruption to current revenues and occupancy rates
Typically has a shorter construction timeline
On average costs more than a standard renovation project.
Eliminates the constraints that an existing building places on planning and construction.
