Completing the ReCladding Project

I am very sorry to report that we are still running behind schedule with the ReCladding Project at Swiss Tower; but here is what is in store for the rest of this month and the next:

This month:

* Courtyard repairs (cement repair and clean up)
* Final inspections and any remediation work
* Roof inspection and remediation work on the roof

Next Month:

* Courtyard remediation (this will be our primary focus at first): landscaping, sod, irrigation, furniture, grills, etc..
* landscaping and sod around the rest of the building
* Installation of bike racks

We will open the courtyard again as soon as possible. I will continue to try to update you with the best information I have concerning its opening. Thank you for your enduring patience as we wrap up this project.

Windows on Floors 1-3

Contractors will be covering windows with a blue film on floors 1-3 as they spray on a waterproofing sealant. After these floors are sprayed, the film will be removed and these windows will be cleaned.

New Project Completion Date

We are running behind schedule with the ReCladding Project at Swiss Tower; but here is what is in store for the rest of this month and the next (we were hoping to be done this month but because of delays having to do with temperatures under 40 degrees and other complicating factors, our intent is now to be done by the end of February):

* They are finishing work around the end of the building near the parking lot. When they complete that work they will also be able to take down the scaffolding which is projected to be taken down in the next couple of weeks, if not sooner.
* Right now floors 1-3 are in the process of having all caulk joints replaced around the windows, brick joints ground down and fixed, and the entire brick face cleaned and sealed.
* They will also make repairs to the courtyard cement, return the lights back to their spots, and return the grills.

Soon after the ReCladding Project is complete, we will again have access to the courtyard porch area, the grills, the courtyard side-walks, pool, and side gate.

After the ReCladding Project is complete, DTS will be working on renovating and fixing the damaged landscape and sod in the courtyard and around the building. Some of the work will have to wait until later in the Spring. For this reason, there will be times when portions of the courtyard will be off limits; but we should still have access to the porch area, grills, pool, and side gate. I will give more details at that time.
