Each suite is equipped with power, HVAC, and Wi-Fi as <br />well as access to a shared central loading dock for shipping/delivery needs. Each Saltbox facility <br />is designed with conference rooms, huddle rooms/lounges, bathrooms, main entry/welcoming <br />area, and a break room that are shared by the small business tenants. The facility is open seven <br />(7) days a week from 6 AM to 11 PM.
