Upper Floor Redevelopment

CARA decided to tackle the barriers to redeveloping unused upper-floor areas in 2003. While we discovered most barriers were perceived, we learned some important lessons and put additional assistance in place. See document links below.

We hope you’ll be willing to take a fresh look at the potential of redeveloping your upper floor!
