As we approach the end of July, the new basement for the addition is coming together. All walls and footings were cast in one day by doing a monopour.

June marks the month we got out of the ground! Formwork is taking shape for the new three-story addition. The elevator pit is complete and formwork for the basement walls will follow.

The steel package is scheduled to be installed later this month and will include a steel frame for the new 20’ folding door and a steel canopy.
