What’s a nine-bedroom, 12-bathroom, 20-acre estate if you have no one to share it with? CBS News reports on Pure House, “50-bedroom facility” in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn that provides a luxurious communal lifestyle for the start-up set. It offers fully furnished units, a clubhouse, stocked kitchen and cleaning service, not to mention luxury health and wellness experiences like community meditation, massages, pop-up brunches, group fitness classes and one-on-one nutrition or professional development coaching. Its stated purpose is to reinvent the way members live by providing "thoughtfully designed spaces" and "intentionally curated goods and services." Naturally, high-end communal living comes with a price tag to match: Residents pay around $4,000 per month.
Founder Ryan Fix does not fully embrace the ‘co-living’ label but rather equates the Pure House to Burning Man, the annual desert art festival that plays temporary home to a range of creative types. Artistic extroverts with a taste for the finer things: you may have found your ideal New York living experience. [CBS News]
