We organized a mobile home park in southwest Denver that went up for sale in 2022 and were able to work with the residents and partners to raise $11.5 million to purchase the park and take advantage of opportunity to purchase laws in Colorado. Sharing Connexion Inc. will be the interim owner for 1-3 years or until the residents are prepared to take over the loans and manage the park themselves.
