Construction started in July 2017 and is currently substantially complete, less additional scope to fully rehabilitate the elevator system, including controllers and cabins and roofing certifications. The property has maintained an 78% occupancy rate across the construction period and is advancing to full (97%+) occupancy by December 2019.
