Renovation Project Update
Renovation Update - Our Appraiser has finished his preliminary work and can value the areas in scope of renovation at just over the twice the value of our improvements. With a margin of 2% he is able to document this value because ironically, the demolition of those rooms back in June are a material change from what he documented in May, and the demolition helped our valuation! Without having demo'ed the rooms ahead of time, we would not be able to have the higher "in use" valuation that we now have today. Completely unexpected benefit, but one that is welcome none-the-less. The team will be working with VLK Architects on Thursday to start proof in detail the submissions to the City permitting office while we wait for the official report from the Appraiser at the beginning of next week. Thomas DeVries

Items may be dropped off at the parking lot gate on Fridays before and after school, or your may contact Charles if you have a large item that needs to be picked up.
