An extremely aggressive schedule required Charter crews and its subcontractors to get creative during construction of this new coffee shop. The tight timeframe meant work was often performed out of sequence with subcontractors’ tasks often conflicting with those of other trades. In addition, laydown space was limited and storage non-existent.

Despite the challenges, Charter’s end product is a highly sophisticated tenant improvement combining industrial-type products with traditional materials to create off-beat finishes. The venue’s “vespa” theme was enhanced with the addition of numerous scooter-related features. The coffee shop also features high-tech audio, visual and computer systems.
