Our full focus is to help our customers to run their businesses.

LEED CertifiedOur highest priority is the health and well-being of tenants and staff. To ensure a safe working environment, we are implementing hygiene measures across all our locations as recommended by local governments and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Personal Space & PPE

Personal space is important to helping prevent the spread of COVID-19. The following will help facilitate distancing guidelines outlined by the CDC.

 

Signage & Protective Shields

In all locations, signage reminders are placed on floors and walls. Clear shields are installed for two-way protection at our reception desks.

Capacity Protocols

To limit close contact in areas such as Reception, Copy Rooms, and Kitchens, capacity protocols will be enforced.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

PPE guidelines will follow those set forth by the State of New York. At this time, clients and their guests will be required to wear masks in all shared areas and follow CDC guidelines. For guidelines on acceptable masks, please visit this page on the CDC’s website.
