Olivia Communities will be developing a 334-unit resort-style living community in Tucson, Arizona, although anyone can purchase a home. The company is targeting lesbians. Judy Dlugacz president and founder of Olivia Companies. All us lesbians eather heard or have been on a Olivia vacations.. and my experance with Olivia is that this is going to be 1st class all the way just like her vacations. Judy Dlugacz whole vision of this has always been about creating community and creating a place where we can not only be free… but also the kind of community where you’re really connected with the people there and feel comfortable and happy in your environment.
Dlugacz and her partner Rachel Wahba went to Tuscon to review the property and look over the area. What they found was a complex with a swimming pool, fitness center and clubhouse, nestled in a gay-friendly town. Olivia will be adding another pool and a dog run.
What makes this community unique, Dlugacz said, will be the social aspect. Women from their 20s to their 80s have put down deposits on condos in the development, though the most women fall in the 55- to 70-year-old age group. Olivia plans to have a full-time events coordinator who will bring in live entertainment, including comedy events and film festivals, and who will coordinate tea dances and other parties. Group excursions will be arranged to nearby locations like Las Vegas and Mexico.
Interest in the new development has been fairly high so far. Olivia has received 40 deposits and hundreds if inquiries since announcing the project in July. Construction begins when 400 deposits have been received.
Cindy Jordan-Nowe, co-chairwoman for City of Tucson Commission on GLBT issues, believes this will be a good fit for Tucson. “Tucson is a very inclusive community, years beyond other places in the country as far as embracing diversity and accepting and protecting LGBT people.
