DECI was proud to present the First Annual Urban Living Tour held June 12, 2010, during the Open Air Festival of the Arts. Over 800 people explored the seven apartments in five different buildings that were showcased. The overwhelming community response to our first tour made the event an amazing success! And we couldn’t have done it without the hard work of our designers, the support of our sponsors, and the efforts of our volunteers!
