“Against great odds, A.P. Construction overcame numerous construction and design issues, met all CHFA inspection requirements and hit the target completion date to make our project a great success, which permitted us to lease all 51 apartments and attain permanent financing. Their persistence in attaining National Park Service approval of the 484 Historical Window replacements was paramount to the project’s success.”
