Kaleidoscope Village News
(updated 2/4/2010)The developers are working with the architects on the (hopefully really final this time) construction drawings. Some changes had to be made recently because of the change to AAC for the structural walls (information on AAC at: “Aerated Concrete as a Green Building Material” and AACPA information). There are also some unexciting but important issues such as how many bathroom stalls the common house will have. We are on the home stretch, though.
Obviously, the economy is still shaky. The developers are optimistic about being able to obtain interim financing (aka the construction loan), but clearly in this financial environment we have to be cautious about rosy scenarios. There is still at least one unreserved unit of each size, and as soon as we have financing the developers will be able to set the prices and construction timeline.
New Website Coming
Two of our tech-savvy members have been working on converting us over to a drupal website. We hope to go “live” within the next few weeks. Once the site is up and running, we will be ready to post the aforementioned final plans so visitors to the site can see the floorplans and elevations for all the buildings. (How exciting!)
Be sure to check the calendar for our monthly meeting announcement. Come learn about us and about Kaleidoscope Village.
