Project Overview

Overview

Ivy Gardens is the comprehensive redevelopment of a former residential building into a modern 21-unit apartment community in Little Falls, New York.

Originally constructed in 1950, the building underwent a substantial renovation that transformed aging residential spaces into contemporary apartments while modernizing essential building systems. The project included major electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire-protection, and interior improvements, along with renovated common areas and upgraded building access systems.

The finished property offers a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments designed for modern residential living.

Canalstone’s Involvement · Founder-Led Experience

Ivy Gardens was completed under the leadership of Canalstone’s founder before Canalstone Construction Group LLC was formed in November 2026. It is presented as the founder’s construction and redevelopment experience.
