[ad_1]
The country’s first neighborhood with 3D printed houses has arrived in East Austin. But you may have to print some money to be able to afford the houses, with one of the price tags reaching nearly $ 800,000.
Two 3D printed houses on East 17th Street Residences development in East Austin were sold in March, and the other two 3D printed houses there are in the market. The two homes offered by Austin-based DEN Property Group are:
-
The two story Treehouse Residence, a 1,928 square foot home with four bedrooms, four bathrooms. It is listed at $ 795,000, or $ 412 per square foot.
-
The two-story Skyview Residence, a 1,572 square foot home with four bedrooms, three bathrooms. It is listed at $ 745,000, or $ 474 per square foot.
For comparison, the median sales price of a house with the city of Austin reached $ 574,975 in July, says the Austin Board of Realtors. According to Realtor.com, the median list price per square meter for a house in Austin was $ 304 in July.
Each of the 3D printed houses has a private courtyard, covered parking lot, open floor plan, “bespoke” interior design, large windows, a powerful HVAC system, and a “minimalist” architectural style.
Kansas City-based real estate developer 3Strands has partnered with Austin-based construction technology company ICON to build the country’s first neighborhood with 3D printed homes.
“Basically, the real estate crisis in our country is a supply problem,” said Gary O’Dell, CEO of 3Strands, in a press release on August 31st. “3Strands is working to solve this by pushing the boundaries of new technologies that address the root causes of this supply problem. With the 3D printing of these houses, East 17th Street is a significant advancement for the future of building. “
According to O’Dell’s company, 3D printing technology enables safer, more resilient homes to be built that can withstand fire, floods, storms, and other natural disasters better than traditional homes.
Logan Architecture from Austin designed the houses and Austin designer Claire Zinnecker oversaw the interior design and the selection of lights.
