Dear Atlantic Terrace Owners and Guests,

I would like to express my appreciation for everyone’s patience during these difficult times at Atlantic Terrace.  I know how frustrated some owners have been during the construction/renovation of the building.  The jack-hammering and all inconvenience experienced during this work period, however, was necessary.  I was at the Atlantic Terrace later October for the annual board meeting and the work that has been completed is impressive. The building is looking much better every day. We have encountered our share of problems and unfortunately, the Engineer has found further deterioration on the building, but as reported it is not major.  Although, we are not complete with the construction, you can definitely see that the building is beginning to shine as the gem we all hope to see revealed.

The newly elected Board of Directors has also been looking at some items that we could renovate/upgrade inside of the rooms which is not a part of the reconstruction process.  These items include such things as kitchen countertops, upgrading the lights to give a more modern feel in the rooms, and renovating bathrooms in each unit.   The installation of Wi-Fi services in the building has been a major concern of owners and guest, and as this publication is underway, so is the installation of Wi-Fi throughout the building. Hopefully by your next visit to Atlantic Terrace it will accessible from your unit.

There have been ongoing communications between the Board of Directors and Management, sharing ideas and brainstorming, thinking of creative ways to update the website.  The website is currently being updated and the Board’s goal is to have monthly construction updates and “What’s Happening” available to our owners.  We want to use the website as a communication tool so that all owners, board members, and the management staff will be kept well informed.   There has also been the creation of committees to investigate possibilities of increasing revenues for the condominium, updating the “current” by-laws, increasing communication between owners, board members, and management.   The committees will also look at adjusting pricing on current HOA (owned by the Association) units that are for sale, for rent, and a new program that we are introducing called “right to use”.  If anyone is interested in contacting the chairpersons involved with the committees, please refer to the committee designation notice located in this newsletter. If anyone has an idea to upgrade the units, please let us know by contacting any of us through our emails (listed on the Atlantic Terrace website) or by informing the Front Desk staff.  We welcome suggestions.

I hope everyone enjoyed a safe and happy holiday season and are looking forward to an enjoyable stay at your Atlantic Terrace Condominium.

Sincerely,

Frank O’Keefe

President, Atlantic Terrace
