ROCK 108 / Built By Pros Lunch - July 13 in Tama

Who used all the Wi-Fi?

Ah, apartment life.

Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.

Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.

Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.

Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.

That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.

Union Station Apartments, now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.

Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?

We'll get some details here to you shortly.

Full day today on site with lunch with built by pros and I've got Kurt with not only built by pros, but the president tk roofing This is incredible Kurt.

I mean just the project that's going on right

What's built by pros about?

Well, Built By Pros is an organization that was formed a number of years ago between union contractors as well as the building trades as a whole.

There are purposes to promote union careers or building trades careers as well as promote union contractor businesses.

We focus on recruiting all ages of people.

We start in junior highs actually recruiting, go through high school.

We also spend a lot of time recruiting people who maybe are looking for a changing career or something that maybe their current career didn't work out and they want to do something

different and we encourage them to get into the building trades.

You can go around town after you're trained up properly and you're safe and you could say, I built that.

Yeah, I've been doing this for 35 years and it's pretty awesome to drive around Cedar Rapids or eastern Iowa and look at buildings like Hansher Auditorium, the Children's Hospital, etc.

like that.

Just amazing projects that were an absolute incredible experience to be part of and to be able to drive by and point it and say that you were part of that is a really, really cool thing to do.

Kurt, thanks.

Thanks so much for

being with us here today and another built by Pro's Lunch.
