News from the Pajama Factory
From our most recent newsletter
December 2009
Friends,
Whatever Mother Nature brings to Williamsport this winter, the building will be warmed with the arrival of new tenants. Now that a second phase of construction is complete and new leases have been signed, we expect more lights in the windows and more activity in the building.
We’re happy to welcome Susquehanna Life as a new tenant. Their Winter 2009 issue has hit newsstands, and within its pages is a glowing article about the Pajama Factory. Read it here or—even better—pick up a copy if you can.
We're also happy that Jennifer Rixey has joined us as our office manager. Coming to us from the Williamsport-based Hutchinson Development Group, she will be helping Marshall with building issues, book keeping, coordinating contractor negotiations, and helping with tenant questions and needs.
Building a community out of a nearly hollow, 300,000 square-foot building is a slow and careful process, but we feel it's really happening here, and we're excited to share our progress with you.
– Mark and Suzanne Winkelman

- Moving in! Susquehanna Life Magazine comes to the Pajama Factory »
- “Publisher Erica Shames has opened a new Susquehanna Life Magazine office at the Pajama Factory, 1307 Park Ave., because she was "inspired by the energy of the artists." Shames came to interview the factory's residents during its Art and Wine festival earlier this year and she happened to talk to Michael Pilato. "At first, I was just joking with him when I said 'maybe I should open an office here.' But the more I thought about it, the more I realized I should.”
