Description

The condo has Suites 1A & 1B, totalling 2,144 SF, on the first floor. An additional 480 SF of storage on the lower level, D, E, F, G, H & I. 

The space was fully gutted in 2020, transforming a dark, low-ceilinged maze of small offices into an open, light-filled, acoustically controlled manufacturing and office environment. The redesign prioritized openness, lighting, environmental control, and sound performance to allow seamless coexistence of production and office functions.
