NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Special to OpTech 24–In the face the growing U.S. housing crisis, Azure Printed Homes, Inc. an award-winning pioneer in 3D-printed homes using recycled polymers, is expanding its operations by more than 100 percent, the company announced at the OpenTech 24 conference in National Harbor, MD today.
At the conference, Azure announced that the company’s expansion is a direct response to the growing need and critical importance of affordable and sustainable small home and ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) solutions. With the ability to build and deliver units within 3-4 weeks of order, and for as little as $39,000/unit, the eco-friendly Azure units are becoming the decision of choice for a rapidly growing number of rental developments, homeowners needing additional space for multifamily use or rental income opportunity, and communities requiring fast and economical access to temporary housing.
“Regulation is moving quickly in support of ability to add ADUs to existing multifamily projects with California passing SB 1211 to allow up to 8 detached ADUs per each development,” said Azure Co-Founder Gene Eidelman at the conference event. “However, the ability to construct and install these units quickly and sustainably is of vital importance as well. These are the primary factors that are spurring our need and opportunity to ramp up our manufacturing facilities to 24/7 operation.”
Launched in 2022, Azure Printed Homes is emerging rapidly as a category leader in the creation and production of high-quality small dwellings. Azure’s small houses and ADUs have been particularly successful due to their ability to use recycled plastic polymer as their primary building material.
“While multiple small home providers are trending toward 3D construction, many are constructed with concrete, which contributes both directly and indirectly to greenhouse gases,” Eidelman noted, while attributing much of Azure’s success to the company’s unique ability to reduce the world’s seemingly limitless supply of plastic waste at the same time it is answering the urgent need for more affordable and sustainable housing.
In addition to Azure’s expanding growth at its Los Angeles, CA headquarters, the company’s Colorado location is also significant as the location for its forthcoming 20,000 square foot factory in the Denver area that will open in 2025 for production of a 100-home development there.
