Danke & thank you for grading, Ron Stelter! Quite widely used, no doubts, (another confirmation of the fact is shortened \'condo\' term), but not so popular in Sp-En pair (I honestly wonder why).

Comment: "I was leaning towards "condominium," anyways, although I had wondered whether it was too specific.

Condominum (100% US) or block of flats/appartment building in co-ownership

I like Counsel's "Commonhold" but it relates specifically to U.K. law and is possibly too new a concept to be readily understood. (http://www.commonhold.com/index2.html) Condo? CONDO???

Counsel: One more thing: \"Commonhold\" is a form of freehold only. AFAIK German law does not distinguish between freehold and leasehold, right?

: abs. with 1st comment. The note is right but 1. the/my London/ leasehold has been 'enfranchised' to 999 years = non-perpetual freehold term. 2 The leasehold covenants have simply been carried on. 3. Ger law doesn't, but cf. Eigentumswohnung v. Erbbaurecht

community (or collective) apartment block
or alternatively you might consider the generic ‘Congregate Housing’ (or Co-housing)

commonhold (UK)
Just some clarification.
The UK term commonhold has been recently invented in counterpoint to the US condominium that has been around a while and was felt too difficult for a Brit to pronounce. So it didn't cross the pond the other way to GB.
Instead, the UK Law Reform Committee coined - just in the last decade - a NEW term that would be user-friendlier and dovetail with the terms leasehold and freehold all the way back to the UK Law of Property 1925.
See also the recent terms: assured, protected and secure tenancies evolved from the GB Rent Acts.

: I submit to my learned colleague that his comments concerning 'pronunciation' have been construed as being perfectly valid ;-)
