Sunset Heights
Sunset Heights is a 141 unit high-rise building originally built in 1968. Based on the 2003 Asset Management Plan, Sunset
Heights is a solidly constructed building with many remaining years of useful service. Over the past five years, RIHA has
invested over $1.5 million in modifications to the building.

Improvements to the building include:
 |
Kitchen cabinets and counter tops in all units |
 |
Plumbing and heating throughout the building |
 |
New apartment entrance doors |
 |
New windows |
 |
New paint in all common hallways |
Future improvements include:
 |
Remodeling the front lobby and restrooms |
 |
New lighting in hallways |
 |
New floor covering in hallways |
 |
Upgrade interior elevators |
 |
Add new exterior elevator |
Hickman Center
RIHA purchased the Hickman Center in 2005 as the RIHA maintenance warehouse however; the HUD mandated transition to a project-based
management model has eliminated the need for a central maintenance warehouse.

Asset Management Plan Implementation: RIHA should invest the funds required to ensure the useful life of the property over the
long-term and transfer ownership of the property to CHS. CHS should consider the cost effectiveness of renting the facility to
other organizations for special events or community-based activities. The non-profit corporation could also consider using the
facility as a support site for its development activities in Rock Island.
