Sentinel is proud to share the recent completion of capital upgrades at ABQ Uptown Apartments, a 198-unit apartment community in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

By reimagining virtually all of the public and amenity spaces at the property, Sentinel has acted on its commitment to enhancing assets. We are also dedicated to exploring opportunities to improve our residents’ experience and social options through inviting and engaging shared amenities.

In addition to refurbishing the entrance lobby and reconfiguring, redecorating and modernizing the fitness and business centers, the resident lounge was reconceptualized to serve as a multifunctional and interactive space with a greater connection to the outdoor courtyard.

Possibly the crowning feature of the renovation is the custom, hand-painted mural that runs up the side of the clubhouse building, which overlooks the courtyard. Designed and created by two local artists, Nazario Sandoval and Mel CK, the three-story symbolic illustration celebrates the local landscape, flora and fauna, in all of its colorful glory.

As George Tietjen, Managing Director of Sentinel, commented, “we felt it important to incorporate as much of the southwestern and New Mexican theme in our renovation of the community’s common areas. The mural was a perfect addition to the outdoor courtyard area. We believe our current residents will enjoy sitting by the fireside, surrounded by the beauty of the southwestern desert, brought into ABQ Uptown by these talented local artists.”

Note that residents of ABQ Uptown live in sight of the Sandia mountains, which are rich with a broad range of grasses, flowers, trees and wildlife – including the iconic state bird, the greater road runner, which is depicted in the painting.
