SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Albany, N.Y.-based Omni Housing Development has completed the first phase of the $18 million renovation of Embury Apartments, a 192-unit senior housing community located in Saratoga Springs. Phase I saw the completion of renovations to the East Tower, one of the community's two 14-story residential towers. Construction included asbestos removal, replacement of all windows and insulation, the conversion of several units for handicapped residents and the addition of ADA-compliant bathrooms. Energy Star appliances were also installed, as was a Wi-Fi hub. The tower will be available for resident occupancy in February. The completion date for the entire project is next summer.
