Source: BUILDER – In a collaboration between two providers of sustainable off-site built homes, Champion Homes and Quartz Properties have announced development of a modular build-to-rent community in Asheville, North Carolina.
The community, named Belle Meadows, will include 74 home sites and is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, just under 5 miles away from downtown Asheville.
“Our build-for-rent and manufacture-to-rent homes and services provide developers a turnkey solution at a price point, quality, and speed for today’s market,” says Mark Yost, President and CEO, Skyline Champion. “We are excited to be collaborating with Joanna (Schwartz) and the Quartz team on this important community development; it reflects our commitment to our long-term relationship and working together to accelerate and deliver innovative housing across North America.”
Champion Homes has over 70 years of home building experience and 42 manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S. and western Canada, while Quartz Properties was recognized as the 2022 NAHB Off Site Construction Builder of the Year and has grown rapidly since its launch in 2017.
The home sites will feature Champion Modular’s Excel brand of homes. The homes will be built off-site in a controlled environment, allowing for less waste and costs and precision quality.
“We are extremely proud Champion selected Quart to launch their build-for-rent development platform,” says Joanna Schwartz, CEO of Quartz Properties. “ We’ve had a great experience working with Champion to support our other developments in North Carolina, and we look forward to strengthening our partnership and bringing Belle Meadows to life.”
The development is Quartz’s third in the greater Asheville area and features detached single-family houses and duplexes. Each home has four bedrooms and two or three baths, averaging around 1,600 square feet. Groundbreaking for the project is expected to take place in the second quarter.
