The Michael Group is beginning work this week on Halpine Hamlet, a 67 unit garden style apartment located in Rockville, Maryland. Halpine Hamlet was purchased by Montgomery Housing Partnership back in September 2009. The fact that Halpine is located in close proximity to the Twinbrook Metro was a driving force behind MHP’s decision to purchase the property. Preserving affordable housing within walking distance of the Metro is a key victory for MHP. The Michael Group is proud to begin work on this important preservation project.
For this first phase of the project, we will be replacing 50% of the HVAC units with new, energy efficient units. We will also be replacing all of the roofs on all of the buildings.
While our official work is beginning this week, we were able to meet the staff and residents at the property’s holiday party. The Michael Group donated $5,000 for children’s gifts as well as food and drinks for the party. The residents (seen below) had a great time and we were happy to get a chance to be involved.
