Bathrooms waterproofed to standard and new ceramic tiles installed to walls and floors. Basins in some of the individual units were also replaced.

Full internal repaint, electrical upgrade, existing Emergency Warning Intercom Systems removed and decommissioned and new Occupant Warning Systems installed.
