Square Foot Analysis TCO vs CO Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) grants temporary, conditional use of a building for stocking or furnishing before all construction work is fully completed. MACC has partial TCO for stocking only as of 11/1/2025 Certificate of Occupancy (CO) that proves a structure is habitable based on its legal use and type of property and meets all building codes. Estimated Substantial Completion The Re-opening may occur sometime between the project’s substantial completion and final completion. Substantial Completion (contractual term) is when the facility is deemed ready to be occupied by the owner, but other minor work still needs to be completed by the contractor. The exact date or alignment of the Re-opening will not be known until construction has significantly progressed. Must achieve TCO at a minimum. The anticipated project completion timeline is: 1. Target Substantial Completion: 11/03/25 11/19/25 12/2025 – 2/2026 2.
