January 15, 2026

Comunal, Inc. has secured a $250,000 USD investment in exchange for a 10 percent stake in the company, valuing the venture at $2.5 million USD. The undertaking, headed by evangelical founder Dan Alves, will enter development at once, with a public opening scheduled for 2026.

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.
