Originally called Villa Gardens Apartments in Mill Valley, California, these apartments presented a value-add opportunity for this investor to refresh and re-brand. The new name is Trailhead Apartments at Tam Junction. The severely rusted existing stairs and railings were replaced with new galvanized steel railings because of the marine climate. The facades of the buildings were refreshed with new paint scheme, lights, windows and doors, and a skim coat of plaster over the exposed pebble rock portions of the exterior walls. A few new gathering areas were added to the site and the pool area was designed for a completely new surrounding enclosure and deck.
