Things move quickly at this stage of the project. The exterior stucco and painting is almost complete, Pinnacle Door has installed all the exterior doors, and Countryside Glass has installed the windows. Ramcon has started laying shingles, so the roof should be finished soon. And if you notice a big hole in front of the building when you drive by, it’s because Curtis Pools has started digging the pool near the entrance to the building.

Activity has really picked up on the interior of the building now. Bayshore Plumbing, Blume Mechanical, APG Electric, and St. Petersburg Fire Protection continue moving from floor to floor roughing in the mechanical, electrical, and fire protection conduit and piping ahead of drywall for the walls and ceilings being installed by KHS&S Contractors.  Work has progressed enough on the first floors of the building so that Trio Plus Painting is painting rooms, J & E Cabinets is installing cabinets, and Bay Area Commercial Interiors is laying tile in the bathrooms. In the Kitchen the range hoods have been installed, the ceiling is going in, and the epoxy floor will be set early in November in preparation of all the kitchen equipment and washers and dryers being installed at the end of November.

Next month will see a steady progression from floor to floor of all the trades and the exterior of the building should be complete. As soon as approval comes from the Pinellas County Building Department, site work for the Promenade that will overlook the Pond in back will commence. The Project Team has already started looking at the landscaping and the pool finishes that will complete the exterior appearance of the building. What a long way we’ve come in just a few short months!
