Hi Linda
Thank you in your interest in the High Street Cohousing project. We have begun the build, and expect to be moving into our new homes in the middle of 2020. Currently there is one 2/3 bedroom unit available (priced at $532,072) and another 1-bedroom unit (priced at $346,489) is likely to be available before the completion of the build. Prices for all High Street Cohousing units include the unit itself (unit-titled, built to Passivhaus standard) plus a share in the common land and common facilities on site.
We have a 'stepping in process' for people who wish to buy into the High Street Cohousing neighbourhood, to help them to understand the distinctive cohousing nature of our project and to work through the financial commitments required. the first step in this process is to attend an induction workshop, and we will be holding the next one on Saturday 23 February, 2-4pm. If you are able to get to this, that would be great. We have had people Skype into a n induction workshop quite successfully, so that may be an option for you.
An excellent introduction to what cohousing is about is to read "Creating Cohousing" by McCamant and Durrett, which is available at libraries. We recommend that anyone interested in getting involved reads this book.
If you have further questions or would like to talk to someone about any of this, please email back or give me a contact phone number so that one of us can give you a ring. And if you are able to come to the induction workshop on Saturday week, let me know asap.
Warm regards,
Anne Thomson
