Important Access & Parking Information

Updated as of May 2026.

A Note from the Team:

Construction progress is moving upward and outward. Crews are actively installing exterior masonry while the building’s outer shell continues to take shape. Brick veneer is being laid along the lower level façade, creating both durability and a finished architectural look. Behind the brick, exterior insulation and weather barrier systems are visible, helping improve energy efficiency and protect the building from the elements.

Window installation and exterior panel systems are progressing across the upper floors, giving a clearer picture of the final appearance of the building. Structural framing and foundation work for the covered lower-level area are also visible as crews prepare the space for future use.

Every brick, panel, and finishing detail is another step toward creating a space built to serve the community for years to come.

We are under construction — but we are OPEN!

Please review the map before arriving to help make your drop-off quick and easy.
