Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Retrofit cohousing list / at conference

[Jerry McIntire (jerry.mcintire]

Fred,

Arboretum Cohousing is to a small degree retrofit, they kept a few houses
that were on the property when they built the large new building.

Village Cohousing, also in Madison, Wisconsin retained most of the houses
on a city block and added more units. They should be on your list.
