Board of Trustees commence the renovations of 50-60 Longwood Avenue condo

It is almost eight years since the Board of Trustees of 50-60 Longwood Ave. Condominium Trust commenced with a major restoration of this community's common areas and facilities. In late 2003 and early 2004 the Board of Trustees of this luxury hire-rise condominium recognized that their common areas and common elements were in need of major repairs and replacement and began planning for a series of major restoration projects that would eventually include replacement of a concrete floor in the garage, full modernization of its 4 elevators, replacement of the emergency generator, replacement of much of the exterior brick façade and a number of windows, repairs to the balconies and replacement of the balcony railings, remodeling of the hallways and expansion and remodeling of both lobbies as well as the main entrance and connector link, waterproofing of the outdoor parking deck and pool patio, replacement of heating risers, replacement of most of the existing landscaping, replacement of the chiller, replacement of the fire alarm system and replacement of common plumbing, all while maintaining a fully occupied 175 unit condominium The end result of these extensive renovations is the successful restoration of one of the most prominent, most desirable and most conveniently located residential condominium properties in the area to a modern, safe and desirable residence for 175 area homeowners. With its combination of location (within a short walk of Coolidge Corner) and amenities (including a swimming pool, a new fitness facility and an expansive community room), 50-60 Longwood Ave. Condominium has become one of, if not the most, sought after residential properties in Brookline.
