✦ Why buildings choose Note

Offer Programs Families can Join Together — Right in Your Building's Community Space

Your problems

01

Common spaces that go unused

Many common spaces sit empty—while residents continue to pay for them. Our programs activate these spaces and give families a reason to return, week after week.

02

Current programs are designed for adults—not families

Many buildings already offer fitness or yoga classes, often included for residents. But these are typically designed for adults, with very few opportunities for families to participate together.

03

Families have to go elsewhere

Families are always looking for activities, especially during their free time—but often have to travel far. Here, they simply take the elevator down and enjoy a consistent, high-quality program inside their building

Our solution
