At our StudioBuilt facility, we are committed to constantly innovating and enhancing the home building process. One of our key investments is in industrial technologies, such as the Hundegger Optimizing Saw, which uses software and automation to precision-cut wood components. This technology enables us to work more safely and efficiently, producing higher quality homes than traditional onsite construction. #modularhousing #housing

At Amherst, we prioritize both the quality of materials used in our renovations and our commitment to environmental responsibility. Over the past five years, we have invested nearly $20 million in upgrading to Energy Star appliances as part of our efforts to make our homes more sustainable during the preservation process. This investment has allowed our residents to conserve a significant amount of energy and created nearly $5 million in cost savings for our residents on their utility bills.

Did you know? According to U.S. Census data, over 50% of single-family occupied housing stock, or 21 million homes, were built before 1979, making them at least 44 years old. As homes age, they require significant capital to remain livable. At Amherst, we invest significantly in the initial repairs of each of our homes on our platform. These investments in scattered-site home preservation help combat the nation’s housing supply crisis. Check out one of our home transformations by our amazing team in Columbus, Ohio.

Amherst’s CEO & CIO, Sean Dobson and our Head of External Affairs & Impact Strategy, Genger Charles had the pleasure of meeting with fellow real estate practitioners, policymakers, and regulators last week during The Real Estate Roundtable Annual Meeting. They sat down to provide context on the importance of advancing our nation’s housing economy including through our incremental solution to provide needed housing supply, facilitating access to sustainable mortgage credit, and how we help our residents gain access to communities and opportunities they may struggle to access without services. #realestateroundtable #sfr #housing
