New Projects & Current Progress
|
|

Despite the setbacks of transitioning to a work-from-home model and the disruptions of the last few months, our team has been working hard to be able to start a new build on-site later this year. We're excited to have the construction contract signed for our Palm Beach project! Our project team has been putting a lot of time into the construction documentation and our Building Information Model (BIM), ensuring everything fits together and anticipating (and preemptively resolving) any potential disruptions for our site team.
