Day 22 : Falling Into Spring

Our schedule leak has turned into a six month delay on the construction start. While we originally intended to break ground this October we have now decided to wait until March. We could actually begin sooner if we had to but since we don't have a tenant that is clamoring for us to finish we can wait.

As it was, we were already pushing the schedule to get the foundation in before the ground froze and we found ourselves dealing with winter conditions. The rejection of our initial Site Development Plan made an October start unlikely and even a November start iffy. Now we can avoid the costs and delays associated with winter construction and be ready to go as soon as the weather breaks.

This translates into the building being ready for tenants around January 2009. I need to change that leasing sign!

Not only do you need to change the sign, you need to change the web site, which currently says "Ready for Occupancy in Summer 2008".

P.S. This is an interesting idea for a blog, albeit rather "micro-niche". It has the same entertainment value for me as reading the commercial real estate section in the Business Monthly.
