The Postal Service prefers to establish the most efficient mode of delivery in new garden apartment developments, including the determination of the type and location of mail delivery receptacles and collection boxes.
During the project’s design and planning phase (i.e., before developers and builders finalize the plans with the appropriate planning/zoning authorities), developers and builders must notify the Postal Service. Then, the Postal Service will consider input from these parties. Developers and builders should plan for basic or customized Centralized Mail Delivery installations for garden apartment communities (i.e., Neighborhood Delivery Centers or Cluster Box Units).
For more information on Centralized Mail Delivery, contact your local Post OfficeTM or visit http://about.usps.com/what-we-are-doing/current-initiatives/delivery-growth-management/welcome.htm.
