This weekend, The Seattle Times shined a spotlight on a powerful shift taking place in the housing market—and reSpace was honored to be part of the conversation.
In a Sunday feature titled “Seattle friends reinforce their bonds with joint homeownership,” the Times explored how buyers are finding new ways to afford homes in the neighborhoods they love—by teaming up. From friends co-buying fixer-uppers to multigenerational families pooling resources, the article highlights the creative and deeply personal ways people are building a sense of home and community.
And right in the heart of the piece is reSpace.
We’re proud to be part of this movement—not just reacting to the housing crisis, but actively redesigning how ownership can work for more people. Our co-homeownership model is built for today’s reality: high prices, limited inventory, and a desire for connection and shared purpose.
This summer reSpace comes to Seattle’s Ballard Neighborhood with:
✔️ Private suites with a bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and storage
✔️ Shared luxury amenities like kitchens, living spaces, and outdoor areas
✔️ Fully structured legal + financing framework—we handle the complexity so buyers can focus on building equity and community
As Katrina Romatowski, reSpace’s Founder and CEO, told The Seattle Times:
“It’s a way to get your foot in the door to begin creating equity and having ownership in real estate.”
Our first project, The Grove, will launch this summer in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. With eight private suites across three homes, prices will start at just $179,000—a revolutionary step toward making homeownership attainable in a place that’s long felt out of reach for many.
Why This Matters
Traditional homeownership models no longer serve the needs—or reflect the values—of today’s buyers. reSpace offers more than a place to live. It’s a way to:
Build equity, even in high-cost areas
Live near work, community, and opportunity
Create intentional shared living with like-minded people
Unlock access without giving up ownership
