OPINION

LACAGNINA, Judge.

In this appeal we must decide whether the unit owner of a condominium is obligated to pay assessments to the homeowners’ association if the construction of improvements on the individual unit has not occurred. We hold that because unit ownership includes a vested, undivided interest in the common elements, the obligation to pay assessments arises from unit ownership and is not dependent upon completion of improvements. We therefore reverse the judgment of the trial court.
