Stackhouse, a mobile assembly of container homes that can be moved from one location to another, is launching a development in Denver, according to Tuscon.com.
The housing company was founded by Janelle Briggs and Ryan Egan. And although it was founded in Tuscon, the founders have yet to get past the city's regulators to build their towers.
“We always meant to be in multiple sites across the country,” Briggs told Tuscon.com. “We just couldn’t wait for the city of Tucson to figure it out.”
Before launching a development in Denver, Stackhouse will set up a prototype house through a partnership with the University of Arizona Center for Innovation.
“We are thrilled to showcase Stackhouse at UA Tech Park, but our vision does not stop there,” said Briggs. “After showcasing our container home here in Tucson, we will journey to Denver, Colorado, where we will create our first 62-unit development to prove the Stackhouse model."
"This will be the first development and community of its kind, and we are proud to share that folks in Denver are excited about our concept and we look forward to seeing where the UACI launchpad continues to take us.”
The development will be built near Empower Field at Mile High Stadium. Rent for containers at Denver Stackhouse will be between $1,500 and $3,500 per month. There are already over 1,000 people on the waitlist.
Construction is anticipated to start in 2022.
