Texas-based company Amherst is bringing a modular-home community to Lockhart, a small town 30 miles south of Austin that has boomed in recent years in part due to a lack of affordability in the Texas state capital.
Amhert's Firefly development will have 145 homes for sale, all built using the company’s StudioBuilt modular construction platform.
"The opening of our new Firefly community generates much needed housing supply for homebuyers in the growing and vibrant city of Lockhart,” Amherst’s David Schwarz said.
StudioBuilt homes have permanent foundations and meet the same building requirements as traditional site-built homes, according to a company press release. "By removing barriers like weather, trade delays, and supply chain issues, these homes can be built about 50% faster than traditional homes with stronger quality controls during the construction process, in addition to being more sustainable,” it reads.
Firefly will offer three- and four-bedroom homes, three floor plans, 10 different elevations, and various finishing packages.
