In Episode 73  Lynn Morstead and Kelli Soika interview Jim Leach, president of Wonderland Hill Development Company. He has led the company in developing over 20 cohousing communities in Colorado, California, Arizona, and Washington. He is a builder with over 50 years of experience in the design, construction and development of sustainable, planned neighborhoods.
We talk about "building a custom neighborhood"

  • How he first got involved in cohousing as a developer in the late 1980s.
  • How they developed the first models for financing, co-designing and co-developing with the future community home owners
  • Learnings from developing cohousing projects over several decades
  • The struggles that groups go through to complete and sustain a community project, and
  • The joys and rewards of how living in a cohousing community creates a more sustainable lifestyle than any of us could achieve on an individual basis
