Update on the Midway

BANG! BREWERY is making progress on their new building on Capp Road.  It looks too short right now, but I hear they put the roof part on, then it gets moved up and they add more to the sides.  Both the building and the beer will be made in a sustainable manner.  We're excited for our new neighbors.

Bang Brewery has broken ground on their microbrewery at 2320 Capp Road.  We are excited to have them as a neighbor.   Right now there's just empty ground, but soon there will be a unique round brewery that looks like a grain silo.  The Creative Enterprise Zone is really growing!

Last week tenants at Midtown Commons got together for a building safety and security meeting to review steps to take to prevent theft from offices.  Highlights: Keep purses in locked drawer or cabinet Don't leave laptops unattended If you see someone who doesn't seem to belong, ask them if you can help them Use your security alarm every night, also use the door chime feature Get to know your neighbors We have a security checklist in the FAQ section on our website www.updatecompany.com Thank you Jacob Wetterling Resource Center for hosting.

  The Raymond Station Area in 1988      What an amazing difference!

After 13 years, our office manager Judy is retiring. We're going to miss her friendly voice and excellent bookkeeping!  Thanks to the many tenants that stopped by and emailed to say goodbye. I think she enjoyed our fun last day together.

I decided to walk out to the Raymond Station rail platform.  It is really looking good.  Some of the signs are installed and wiring is there for the ticket machines etc.  I think that it will be pretty easy to get out to the platform. This is looking west from the platform. This is looking at 2314 University from the platform.

Creative Enterprise Zone - Raymond/University Area Update Company is excited to help host our creative "pop-up" happy hour this Thursday at the corner of Raymond and University Avenues.   It is really the center of our creative district that includes everything from software developers, artists, graphic design firms and nonprofits that support the arts.  This creative synergy has helped to keep this neighborhood strong while we waited out the poor economy and LRT construction.  Come mingle and hear what we're all about Thursday April 19, form 5:00 to 7:00 in the Miller Photography building at the southwest corner of Raymond/University.
