JOIN THE FLOCK — BECOME AN OWNER —

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

  • You select annual dues & enjoy owner benefits! (More on those below!)

Why become an owner of the Cooperative?

So many reasons! Here’s our top three:

HAVE A VOICE

One owner, one vote! Cooperative ownership is democracy in action, empowering our community to not only say what we want, but make it happen, together!

OWN A PLACE

Own a building with your neighbors! As a real estate cooperative, we build places created for - and owned by - members of our community. What should we build next? You tell us!

FIND A COMMUNITY

We are better, together. Open to all, our cooperative connects people through authentic, every day interactions in spaces centered on food, family, arts, and wellness.

…PLUS great benefits like owner-only discounts from our tenant-owner businesses, and more!

STEP 1: PURCHASE A ONE-TIME OWNER SHARE

Commongrounds is built for you, owned by you, and welcomes you. Anyone can become an owner! This one-time $50 equity share makes you a lifetime owner of the cooperative.

STEP 2: CHOOSE YOUR ANNUAL DUES 

Annual dues help keep our co-op running and maintain your active, “good standing” owner status, giving you access to your owner rights & benefits! Annual dues are pay-what-you can, with a suggested minimum of $48/year. If this amount is cost prohibitive, please reach out to our team at hello@commongrounds.coop.
