• Is there a loading doc available? There is a small first-floor loading dock behind the facility (door opening 5’) accessible by truck.

3. Is this a renovation of an existing building or furniture addition for a new building construction?

This is a total renovation project of an existing building. The building may be ready for furniture delivery by late March (optimistic). It is more likely that move-in will begin in April or May.

4. When will the building be ready to receive furniture? A plan indicating the 2nd-floor furniture layout has been attached to this message for your reference.
