Unlocking hidden value

Smart Renovations, Elevated Living

We take a comprehensive approach, enhancing both individual residences and the overall living environment. We modernize kitchens and bathrooms, upgrade building systems, refresh flooring and finishes, and ensure full code compliance, all while preserving the architectural character that makes each property unique.

Across the broader building, we transform shared spaces into welcoming, functional amenities—revitalizing lobbies, enhancing outdoor areas, and adding rooftop decks when possible. These thoughtful upgrades increase resident comfort, elevate curb appeal, and make properties more desirable and competitive in today’s market. What sets Halyard apart is our ability to scale these renovations across diverse building types, delivering cost-efficient, adaptable solutions that elevate the tenant experience and bring lasting value to historically significant properties.

ADU

Maximizing Potential with ADUs

Ballast is California’s leading builder of ADUs in multifamily properties, unlocking value in existing buildings through smart, efficient additions. With deep expertise and close collaboration with city agencies, we streamline permitting to minimize delays and accelerate project delivery—turning underutilized spaces into new revenue and housing opportunities.

With a proven track record, Ballast offers a clear, scalable path to enhance property performance while supporting broader housing goals. ADUs offer major benefits to tenants by maximizing usable space in highly desirable, centrally located neighborhoods. These units enhance walkability, expand access to public transportation, and foster vibrant, connected communities. For residents, it’s not just additional housing, it’s a chance to live in the heart of the city.
