Housing That Works on Local Incomes
Simple, comfortable homes designed for:
-
Affordable Rental Housing
-
Attainable Homeownership
What Makes Our Homes Different
- Designed Around Community Income — We design homes and rentals around the median income of the community so monthly costs work for the people who live and work there.
- Structurally Superior — Design intent is a high-performance, long-life structure (100+ years) rather than minimum code compliance. Foundation systems include enhanced thickness, reinforcement, and moisture protection, and framing incorporates additional load paths and redundancy.
- Durable 30 Year Exterior Shell — We use long life exterior components including roofing, siding, and windows, designed to last approximately 30 years and reduce maintenance and replacement costs.
- Efficient, Comfortable, and Healthy — Our homes are significantly more efficient than standard new homes, resulting in lower utility bills, consistent interior comfort, and high indoor air quality.
- Built in About 30 Working Days — Using traditional construction methods that are highly optimized and partially panelized, we reduce build time to about 30 working days on repeat builds.
Optimized processes to reduce both initial and long-term ownership costs
