PROJECT UPDATE (2.22.2010):

Interior Finishes Continue

The priming and 1st finish coat of INTERIOR PAINTING has been applied to the walls and existing roof framing. The new exposed wood structure at the LOFTS has been patched and received it’s 2nd finish coat. A 2nd coat will be applied to the walls, stairs and rails after all trades are 100% to avoid “touch ups”. Wood trim and doors/frames have been stained, sealed and finished with 2 coats of polyurethane and are ready to be installed by the CARPENTERS.

The CARPENTERS have installed the kitchen cabinets and bath vanities. Countertops have been fabricated on site and installed. Wood trim and closet interior work will begin later this week. The METAL FABRICATOR has completed the interior stairs/rails for units 3-5. Rail installation is finished after carpeting. CERAMIC TILE setting is nearly complete with only unit 5 remaining. Interior HVAC work is at the 40% level and should be completed in the next week or so.

FINISHING continues…about 6 weeks to go

PS: we just started leasing. I think the units are aggressively priced ($1,250 -$1,725 per month)…so if you know of someone, please PASS ON this info.
