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.

information or to arrange interviews, please email info@dragonflycohousing.ca.
