Interested in hearing from architects and owners what the cost per square foot would be to gut renovate 4 out of 5 floors of a brownstone (parlor and the 3 add’l floors up) and keep the garden as a rental which we would not touch with the exception of upgrading plumbing and/or electric. We expect a high middle finish and would will install an elevator, central air. We will probably keep the radiator heat. The only existing detail we would keep would be the stairs which would have to be fixed somewhat. Soup to nuts including all fees, what would be a reasonable estimate on a square foot basis to do such a renovation. The amount of square footage to renovate is approx 5000 ft.
