I was at EMRL meeting with Floyd our design guy yesterday and all around their office were left over signs of what appeared to be a pretty rocking new years eve party. My favorite remnant was a glass wall where they asked everyone to write their feelings about 2008. Pretty much every one of the comments were bad. Its like everyone was ready to get down and party extra hard this new years because they actually had something to celebrate. 2008 is over! Not the usual new year is coming but rather more excited that the old year is gone.

And I am not sure how much you have been following here at the LJ Urban blog but there were some pretty traumatic things that I am glad to get behind us as well.

But you know what? 2009 is a good year, I can feel it. Already we were able to secure our financing that I told you we were working on for a bigger phase on Good and we are getting ready to start building like mad! More houses being built means better efficiency in construction costs (better pricing for the homes) and we are going to be able to actually sell homes to the people who want them.  Vs. last year where we had to turn people away because we only had 5 houses built.

Now that we are cleared for takeoff we are going to be preselling homes and just getting this whole operation up and running again! It’s a good feeling to come out of a slow time and finally be ready to roll!

For those of you who have been itching to get inside a Good home, we are having another tour of the Good project next week.

We are going to be hanging out telling the story of how good came to be and showing off the last of the units in Phase 1 while we can, its already in escrow but we are going to show you around anyway. After that unit is closed we will not have any more finished houses to show until April so come look around while you can.

The tour will be at 5 PM on Friday January 16th.

Hope to see you there!
