Take 15-501 from the Sheraton towards Durham. You will see a Lowe’s on your left. Make your next left after the Lowe’s. This road does not have a street sign, but it is called Eastowne Drive. As you are turning, you will be able to see a brick wall that says Eastowne Office Park on it. Once on Eastowne, make your second left into Pinegate Apartments. Veer left after the brick wall, then make your first left into the parking area. Look for building 105 directly in front of you. If you are coming in the sliding glass door, we are the sliding glass door on the corner of building 105 on the ground floor. If you are using the front door, go to the back of the building and go down the first set of steps you see. We are on the ground floor, go to the door marked 3. If you are locking the door behind you note that only one of the two dead bolts can be unlocked from the outside.
