Keep Your Business Safe in the New Year

Are you doing all you can to keep your business secure?

Here's a checklist Update Company has put together to help keep your business safe.
Start the new year right by reviewing your safety program.

The most common incidents in our buildings are stolen purses and laptop computers. Finding ways to keep these two items secure will be a huge step in preventing theft.

Employees should have a locked cabinet or drawer for storage of purses/wallets

Laptop computers should not be left out on desks if the user is out of the office.

Keys should be kept in a secure spot, never leave your keys in the doorknob while working.

Keep building doors shut and locked on weekends; do not prop them open.

Make regular backups of your computer data, and keep one backup offsite.

Blank checks should be locked up, unopened boxes of checks should be taped shut because often a thief will take checks from the middle of the box.

Files with bank information, credit card numbers or social security numbers should be secured.

Have a staff member work facing the door to greet those entering the suite, or at least use your alarm door chime feature to alert you.

Prepare a lock-up checklist that is followed each night, including locking cabinets, closing and locking windows and setting the alarm.

If you have an alarm, use it EVERY night!

Update Company wants to help your organization to be successful in 2010! We will also post this checklist on our website under FAQ section http://www.updatecompany.com/

Update Company's Stand on Central Corridor Light Rail

Light Rail is Coming - Midtown Commons is Ready For many years, we've heard about light rail - the possibilities and the potential disruptions - for our tenants and our company. When a big project like this comes, you can get involved or bury your head in the sand. We have chosen to get involved in the dialog and give our input into the upcoming project. Light rail will affect our five buildings at Midtown Commons 2314, 2324, 2334 University, 2300 Myrtle and 700 Raymond. The Raymond LRT Station will be built in front of our buildings. We don't know the timeline, but it will be built between 2011 and 2014. We will lose about 12 on street parking spaces in front of our buildings We will be assessed for streetscape improvements - estimated at over $ 30,000 The good news is this: We're ready for the rail and up to the challenge. We have maximized our parking lots and maintained a parking permit system that will help us manage the loss of on street spaces. We are continuing t...

Developments continue in Raymond/University Despite COVID

More apartments are planned for 2225 University Avenue (next to the McDonald's) This is the former site of Paster Enterprises office building. We are excited to see more density for the neighborhood and more residents to support our local restaurants and retail.

Platform Apartments Really Taking Shape!

The construction site is very busy at University and Hampden where the Platform Apartments are under construction. This is going to be a great addition to the neighborhood - replacing two blighted buildings - turning the corner into a beautiful place to live. A roof top patio will be a great amenity, as will the underground parking lot. We are excited for our new neighbors to move in this fall. St. Anthony Park is really growing - adding many new neighbors close to University. Hopefully this development will bring a new restaurant!
