DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mosaic today announced the hiring of Kyle AuBuchon to manage the company’s expansion from Arizona into Texas. Mosaic, a construction technology platform for the residential development industry, plans to hire additional staff as they grow their regional presence.
“I’m proud to join Mosaic — as one of the most exciting construction technology startups in the residential development industry, Mosaic plays a leading role in homebuilding technology innovation.” said AuBuchon. “I really admire the experienced team they’ve built and their commitment to empowering homebuilders and developers to rapidly scale their business and deliver even higher-quality communities. I’m excited to start this next chapter of my career growing Mosaic’s presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.”
AuBuchon joins Mosaic as their Regional Director of Operations in Texas, where he is responsible for the management and oversight of the build-out process for new and existing communities within the Dallas-Fort Worth market, including overseeing customer and trade partner relationships; managing horizontal and vertical scheduling for development sites; and leading key performance indicators such as cost, quality, production schedule, and employee and trade partner performance.
Mosaic is the leading tech-enabled general contractor for production-scale residential development projects. The company’s technology and team deliver value throughout the entire construction process, from pre-development through construction and into warranty. Mosaic has one of the most experienced in-house BTR teams in the country, which has collectively managed development of 16,000+ build-to-rent units in 68 communities nationally.
AuBuchon grew his expertise as Development Manager for NexMetro Communities, a leading single-family BTR developer in Arizona, Colorado, Florida and Texas, that owns and operates the national Avilla brand of communities. Prior to NexMetro, AuBuchon worked as a Lead Builder for Houston-based David Weekley Homes, one of the largest privately held homebuilders in America. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University - Mays Business School.
“Kyle’s in-depth BTR development and construction experience will set him up for success as he leads our Texas expansion,” said Ron Gonski, VP of Growth at Mosaic. “He has a proven ability to identify and solve the upstream challenges of residential construction, then bring high-value communities to life. We’re proud to have him join our team during this pivotal growth phase.”
Mosaic’s research shows that BTR communities experience lease rates up to five times faster than Class A multi-family apartment projects in the urban core in cities such as Phoenix, where they recently hired BTR expert Rod Horn as Regional Director of Operations. Horn was an early leader in the emerging build-to-rent space, project managing some of the first BTR communities for Christopher Todd Communities as part of Hancock Builders.
Last year, more than 6,700 new build-to-rent homes were constructed, according to YardiMatrix data. In 2022, developers are expected to bring more than 16,000 units to market for lease-up. The largest builder of these projects, NexMetro Communities, has delivered over 5,000 rental units across the country through Q3 2020, with many more in the pipeline.
Mosaic recently closed on their Series B funding, backed by venture capital firms such as Andreessen Horowitz, Peak State Ventures, Building Ventures, Founders Fund, Greylock Partners, Innovation Endeavors, Thrive Capital, and 8VC. Mosaic plans to expand to Colorado, Southern California, and additional markets later this year.
