The construction of our new offices is continuing to move forward (we can hear the crew banging on the walls right now), and damn if we aren't all a little antsy and excited to get in there and set up shop permanently.
Located in the brand-spanking-new Vision Plaza building on the west side of Bend (yep, we feel pretty lucky to be here), we're trying to reflect our image as a non-traditional real estate company through the innovative construction and design of our condo space. Not just any cube-land, the new home of SLP will feature exposed-structure "warehouse" ceilings, polished concrete floors, and bright colors which play off of our blue and green standard.
As of this morning, the drywall is in place and the workers are texturing the walls. As with all of the suites in Vision Plaza, because they are office condos, as suite owners, we can build out our suite in pretty much any fashion we choose. This makes the process infinitely more enjoyable than moving into a pre-fab space where you have no say over the paint colors/layout/image.
The future home of SLP is just under 1000SF and will be the third building tenant. Designed by GGL and built out by HSW, although the process has been a bit slow (but isn't that par for the course with any construction project?), we're hoping to be in our space within the next 3 weeks.*
Thankfully, in the meantime, we've been the beneficiaries of the kindness of our neighbors in Suite 206 (Viking Construction) and have been using one of their offices (Thanks Guys!!). Despite the close quarters, we're still making deals and garnering new listings daily, as well as taking advantage of the goodies which Kurt has been leaving out for us in the kitchen.
*We're taking bets. "Price Is Right Rules" to the nearest day.
Vision Plaza
The home of SLP!
