UPDATE on Zero Place!

We want to thank everyone for your encouragement and excitement as you’ve watched Zero Place going up, despite the weeks-long COVID pause. It is exciting to see how many want to join us in our zero-energy mission and to become part of the Zero Place community. We know that you are anxious to understand the timeline for opening as well as the application process. Apartments will be generally available by January 1, 2021. We hope to make some apartments available even earlier and open on a rolling basis. We will share the timing of the opening on each unit as part of our online application process, which we anticipate rolling out within one to two weeks. We will advertise this application process prominently, and we will also honor the ordered list of people who expressed interest over the past couple of years as an important factor.
