Mill Creek Apartment Renovation Project

Project Overview

Mill Creek Apartments was originally constructed in the 1990s and required a full interior renovation to remain competitive within the Milpitas rental market. The ownership group needed a renovation partner capable of upgrading hundreds of units while maintaining leasing velocity and operational control.


The scope included the renovation of over 500 apartment units within an active, occupied multifamily environment. The primary requirements were predictable timelines, standardized finishes across multiple unit types, and rapid unit turnover without sacrificing quality.


A.C.E. Renovations was selected for its proven experience in scaling crews, coordinating logistics, and delivering repeatable results across large multifamily portfolios.

Supporting Leasing Velocity Across a Large Multifamily Asset

Renovating over 500 units within an active apartment community requires more than skilled trades. It demands sequencing, systems, and accountability at every phase of execution.


At Mill Creek Apartments, A.C.E. Renovations structured the renovation program to keep units moving back online quickly while maintaining consistent standards across all unit types. This approach helped ownership protect revenue, reduce downtime, and modernize the asset without disrupting ongoing operations.
