One of the best things about cohousing is that you get to celebrate all kinds of holidays, milestones, and special occasions with your neighbor-friends. Even though the building is still under construction, that didn’t stop the members of Phoenix Commons from getting together for some good ole’ holiday fun!

After an abbreviated business meeting, over a dozen of the community’s members went out for dinner next door at East Ocean Seafood Restaurant, followed by a dessert social back at the office. It’s truly heart-warming to see the camaraderie that has developed between the members, and they are excited to move into the new building in time for Thanksgiving 2015!

The community eagerly awaits new members, so if you’d like to spend the next chapter of your life surrounded by positive and caring peers, contact us today to learn more and arrange a meeting with current members. Happy Holidays!

It felt more like summer today at the Phoenix Commons construction site, with the imposing concrete walls providing relief from the warm sunlight. Most of the work right now is centered around the future garage, its wooden wall molds completing the building’s perimeter at the northeast end of the building (Pic. 1). Inside, crews are preparing yet more rebar for the impending cement spray (Pic. 2), while other workers can enjoy the nice view from the second floor podium (Pic. 3).

There is so much activity at the Phoenix Commons construction site these days, one could walk around for hours and not get bored! The view from the bridge (Pic. 1) shows work now commencing on the podium level, which will be a big slab of concrete separating the ground floor common areas from the wood-framed units above. The elevator shaft is starting to take shape as well (Pic. 2), and concrete walls are being created in the future parking garage (Pic. 3).

Just in time for Halloween, the walls at the Phoenix Commons construction site are sprouting up like pieces of a huge concrete skeleton. With more of the structure in place, it’s now easier to walk around and really imagine the members enjoying these 7,000+ square feet of common space.
