“Ironstate Development was able to provide Cresthill Academy with enough space to just about double its occupancy at The Shipyard,” said Shanaphy. “The larger premises space will allow the organization to offer a wider variety of products and services, and the contiguous space made this expansionary projectvery convenient for both tenant and landlord.

The child care provider plans to provide healthy, precooked prepared meals for busy parents and children.”
