Comunal raises $250K at $2.5m pre-money valuation to open New York City creative refuge.

The project will enter development at once, with a public opening scheduled for later this year.

The principal establishment will rise in the heart of New York City and is being conceived as an always-open sanctuary, a continuously operating retreat intended for creatives seeking a place of work, assembly, conversation, leisure, and congregation, with an interior meant to feel suspended outside of ordinary time.

The company has opened its official waitlist effective immediately, granting prospective members advance notice of forthcoming details and opportunities.
