Ever dreamed of planning & cultivating your own rooftop garden? How about with a dozen of your friends, who are also your neighbors? Our building's top floor offers this and more - outside seating, a children's playroom, a community kitchen and dining area, and a lounge with fireplace. Perfection!

Some exciting developments to the exterior of our building, including the installation of the balconies and the murals. Members are preparing to move in, starting in late-October. Interested in joining our community? Learn what units are still available here: oakparkcommons.com/our-building/
