Abstract As housing is considered as a ‘place to invest’ rather than a ‘place to live’, the importance of residential community is significantly regarded for the quality of life. This study aims to investigate a cooperative housing, ‘WESTAY’ apartment project and its residential community which is highlighted as an outstanding citizen participation model of the apartment complex. The theories of Arnstein and Nabatchi are the main platforms for in-depth analysis of the dynamic of community involvements in addition to on-site observation, in-depth interviews with project developers and residents. It was found that the community showed levels of partnership, delegated power, and citizen control beyond tokenism based on an inclusive cooperative model and dynamic community programs under REITs business structure. This study indicates significant implications for local community-led housing development and management.
