2019 Common House Renovation

As you know, a refresh of the interior of the Common House has been identified as a priority as we complete 2019 and enter 2020. As part of the long term reserve study, it was outlined that the flooring and interior paint each have a useful life of 10 years; the dining room furniture a useful life of 15 years. We have been good stewards of our property and our funds and have extended the use of these items over half a decade more.

It is important that our Common House remain the jewel of our community. A refresh of paint and flooring will help invigorate the literal center of Highline Crossing. Flooring is also becoming an issue of maintenance and safety as loose ends and wear and tear take their toll. And although we are vigilant about maintaining the dining room chairs, they too pose a safety risk as their use over 20 years weakens their stability.

As such, for the better part of 2019, the Common House Team, with input from interested members of the community, have researched new interior elements for the Common House refresh. We are ready to start the implementation of this work, but first wanted transparency of anticipated costs to the Finance Team. All vendors identified for this work are bonded and insured and have been vetted by the team.
