Questions, Answered

Frequently asked

01What types of commercial spaces does Cityside build out?

Offices, retail, restaurants, medical and dental, hospitality, and gyms, across Boston and the surrounding suburbs.

02Can you deliver a commercial build-out on a fixed open date?

Yes. We build to a hard open date, running permits, long-lead equipment, inspections, and the landlord’s requirements in parallel.

03Will my project need Article 80 review?

Most fit-outs don’t. Boston’s Small Project Review generally starts around 20,000 square feet of new floor area or 15 units, and we confirm where yours lands before we price it.

04Can you work after hours or in an occupied building?

Yes. We get approvals for work outside Boston’s 7 to 6 weekday hours when it’s needed, and phase the disruptive work around your operations.

05Who handles the landlord coordination and the certificate of occupancy?

We do. Insurance certificates, building rules, access, and the full inspection sequence through the fire sign-off all run through us.

06Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Cityside is a licensed and insured Boston general contractor, Massachusetts HIC #216577 and CSL #CS-122098.
