Commercial Properties (vacancies, new businesses, etc.): <\/strong><\/p>\n

AEC, Inc.<\/u>:\u00a0 You may have noticed the \u201cFor Sale\u201d sign on the Braches\u2019 building recently.\u00a0 This is nothing to be alarmed about.\u00a0 They are looking to sell the building complete with a 5 year lease from AEC included.\u00a0 They don\u2019t have any intentions that I know of to move the business from Sandy anytime soon.<\/p>\n

There is also an abundance of space available for lease on the west side of their building with the departure of Firwood Design for their newly purchased building in Fairview some months ago.\u00a0 These spaces are larger than the commercial spaces we have had available in Sandy in recent years, and are pretty good quality.\u00a0 Please check the Available Commercial Buildings database on the Ec Dev page and see what they\u2019ve got\u2026.and if you know of anyone that might be interested, let one of the Braches know.<\/p>\n

Sparky\u2019s Pizza<\/u>:\u00a0 So this is new.\u00a0 I wonder if this means that the new annex will open soon?\u00a0 Todd Sparks is a busy man and can be somewhat difficult to get a hold of at times, so we may have to wait until the work is complete before announcing anything\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Joe\u2019s Donuts<\/u>:\u00a0 Everything is complete with Phase 1 of this project except for the roof, which is patiently waiting for a coat of red paint.\u00a0 Our contractor would like to wait until we have not only no precipitation but no wind, as the giant trees on the City\u2019s lot next door tend to drop pinecones and debris on that roof with moderate wind.\u00a0 This will probably happen in March or April.\u00a0 Repairs include new fascia boards, soffits, and flashing for the roof, new vinyl windows, new siding and repairs to the concrete block, removal of the flower boxes in front, some minor electrical work, a new paint job, painting and repair to their sign frame, and replacement of all three of the external air conditioners on the building with two modern, ductless units.\u00a0 The business owners also opted to have Full Throttle Construction do some non-reimbursable work done at this time, and have replaced the heating and ventilation units in the building as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Phase 2 of this project will involve widening the sidewalk for the whole block and some concrete infill, addition of a municipal bench (red, of course) and some custom flower planters in front of their front window, an additional concrete pad and outdoor table for the NE corner of the building for cyclists.\u00a0 Phase 3 will look at the interior of the building through the lens of the TI grant program.<\/p>\n
