LOVELAND, CO — Minnesota-based Real Estate Equities Development, LLC has announced plans for its newest Village Cooperative community, which will be the first owner-occupied senior housing cooperative in Loveland. Senior cooperative housing communities originally began in Minnesota in the 1970s and have had a successful track record with more than 120 communities, primarily in the Midwest. Real Estate Equities Development now has 31 Village Cooperative communities that are either operating, under construction, or scheduled for construction in the next year and can be found in six different states.
“Our company started developing Village Cooperative communities in 2003 because we saw the demand for this type of dynamic lifestyle. Cooperatives give active adults and retirees an excellent home ownership option with a hassle-free lifestyle—all at a great value.” said Keith Jans, president of Real Estate Equities Development, LLC.
Details for the Village Cooperative in Loveland will be unveiled at upcoming public informational seminars that begin on January 24th. They will be held as an opportunity for the public to learn more about how maintenance-free cooperative living works, the community and lifestyle, its Loveland location, the financial benefits as well as a background on cooperative housing and why it has been so popular. Reservations will be accepted and priority numbers given as an important step to secure a home in the new cooperative.
The multi-story Village Cooperative building will feature beautifully decorated community areas including a community room with kitchen, guest suite for friends and families, club room, reading areas, raised outdoor gardening beds, workshop, fitness center, internal storage area and underground heated parking with a car wash bay. Because the building is 100 percent owner-occupied, priority number holders will have the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of spacious homes that range from approximately 875 sq. ft. to over 1,500 sq. ft. of living space. Options vary from one bedroom and one bathroom plans up to two bedroom and two bathroom plans with a den. Each home is completely maintenance-free and has its own private laundry room, storage area and balcony. Fully-equipped kitchens include spacious, open floor plans with kitchen islands, rollout shelving in the base cabinets and a choice of cabinetry and countertops to suit each member’s personal style.
