What is King & Bay doing to mitigate COVID-19 associated risk?

Posted Mar 15th, 2020

In addition to the benefits of being located in a AAA building, King & Bay has expanded its already strong commitment to sanitation to mitigate COVID-19 risk for our clients.

The King & Bay Lounge Commitment to Sanitation

Keeping Our Premium Lounge Pristine

At the core of the King & Bay business model is exclusiveness – meaning that all our client interactions are by appointment only, no foot or 'off the street' traffic enters our space.

We believe this is a huge benefit for our VIP clientele at many levels, not the least of which is the ability to control the smallest details of our environment, including cleaning and sanitation.

In these difficult times, we believe that the King & Bay lounge offers our clients an option not readily available right now – to shop for menswear or hold corporate events in a private, protected space.

The evidence of our commitment to keeping our premium lounge pristine is in the details.

Questions & Answers


What is a 'AAA' rated building?

The Building Owners and Managers Association – an organization for commercial real estate professionals – grades office buildings according to their competitive ability to attract similar types of tenants.

A building's rating depends on a variety of factors including rent, finishes, system standards and efficiency, amenities, location, and market perception. 

The grading system is broken down into three distinct categories. The 'Class A designation is afforded to 'prestigious' buildings which compete for 'premier' office users – and in many markets is subdivided into sub-categories such as Prestige, AAA, AA and A.

Our Master Clothiers will also sanitize before, during and after your appointment.

With our by appointment only business model, we are able to orchestrate our schedule appropriately to allow ample time for cleaning and sanitization in between appointments or meetings and to minimize potential random contacts between individuals.
