The ornate Aurora Apartments in Tobin Hill may be getting a $31.7 million makeover.
Fairstead, a national real estate company specializing in affordable, workforce and mixed-income housing, is seeking to buy and rehabilitate the aging 10-story building’s 105 units and add a sprinkler system.
The Aurora, at 509 Howard St., was built between 1928 and 1930, according to a nomination for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it houses elderly, low-income residents.
