What is the Priority Wait List Program?
If you love the idea of living at The Lodge, but just aren’t ready yet, we encourage you to plan ahead and join our Priority Wait List Program. A fully refundable $1,250 deposit enrolls you into the program. When we receive a deposit, we assign you the next available wait list number. Wait List Depositors receive special opportunities to attend invitation only functions, to be updated about new happenings or upcoming events at The Lodge, and to select an available residence when vacancies occur ahead of those who have not yet joined the wait list. In addition, our depositors are entitled to an annual Dinner for Four at The Lodge on the evening of their choice.
We will, from time to time, contact wait list depositors about available apartments. If a depositor is not ready to accept an apartment that is offered, they will not lose their priority position. We will simply skip that depositor number and move on to the next person(s) on the list. If you become a depositor and an apartment you’re interested in becomes available, you will be called, in numerical order, and extended the opportunity to move in at that time. When you are ready and have chosen an available apartment, you will work with the Marketing Director to plan your move. The $1,250 deposit is applied towards your first month’s rent when you become a resident.
