Swank Properties began as Swank Apartments in 2002, when Lance Swank finished his first major building restoration project.   In an era of quick rehabs and vinyl siding blight, instead of selling individual condos, Lance preferred to renovate his properties with attention to historical details, including using more traditional materials.  The original Swank Apartments building project was a gut rehab of a Victorian three-family house, bringing together the high-efficiency of modern materials and construction processes with a commitment to saving or recreating original architectural and interior details.  Lance’s style of renovation highlights and preserves these items but often also bring dramatic new design to the building’s more pedestrian features.
