Press Release

Crescent Heights officially home to unique $14M cohousing project

Calgary, Alberta – Dragonfly Cohousing will host a sign-raising media event on Saturday April 14th at 11:00 am to mark the purchase of an acre of land in Calgary’s inner city.

Located at the corner of 1st Ave and 3rd St NE in Crescent Heights, the $14 million, 36-unit development will be Alberta’s second cohousing community.

Cohousing is a form of intentional community, originating in Denmark, that combines the advantages of shared resources and community living with privately-owned homes.

The Dragonfly community will incorporate typical features of cohousing: a common house for community activities and shared meals, a pedestrian-friendly layout, and be designed, financed and managed by residents using a consensus-based decision-making process.

The development is 61% sold and is expected to break ground in Fall 2012. Check out the site as it looks today.
