After many years of talk, rehabilitation of Crescent Halls is underway. [3]

For years, residents have complained about dilapidated conditions at the facility. [4]

A previous master plan adopted by the CRHA in July 2010 had Crescent Halls slated to be one of the first projects in the CRHA's redevelopment process[5]. The master plan created by Wallace Roberts & Todd estimated the renovation would cost as much as $5.75 million at the time. [2] Two units will be lost due to the renovation.
