TROY, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Champion Homes and Quartz Properties are proud to announce the grand opening of Belle Meadow, a new 90-unit build-to-rent community in Asheville, NC. This development showcases the latest advancements in offsite and modular construction, offering a fresh solution to the region’s housing availability needs.
Nestled in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, Belle Meadow consists of 30 single-family homes and 30 duplexes (or 60 homes) across nearly 10 acres.
“The Blue Ridge Mountains provide an inspiring backdrop for the innovative modular homes we’re bringing to Asheville,” said Mark Yost, President and CEO, Champion Homes. “We’re thrilled to introduce Belle Meadow to this vibrant area.”
Each home at Belle Meadow utilizes state-of-the-art offsite and modular construction techniques, featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an average size of approximately 1,600 sq. ft. These homes are built off-site, then set and finished on location, demonstrating the efficiency and quality of modular methods of construction.
“Belle Meadow is one of the first build-to-rent projects in this area and is designed to meet the growing housing needs in the region” said Joanna Schwartz, CEO and Founding Partner of Quartz Properties. “By utilizing Champion’s modular home solutions, we are opening for tenants just 6 months after the first home was set, and we are on track to complete all 90 homes within one-year of starting vertical construction.”
Build-to-rent projects like Belle Meadow rely on modular construction to deliver turnkey housing solutions that balance cost, quality, and speed, meeting the demands of today’s market.
“Our engineers and builder partners excel at developing attractive homes at price points unmatched by traditional construction methods,” Yost said. “This approach is central to both the build-to-rent model and our commitment to increasing housing availability.”
The need to address housing availability cannot be overstated. A surge in homebuying during the COVID era, fueled by historically low interest rates and a slowdown in new home construction, has created a nationwide strain on availability for both buyers and renters.
Belle Meadow continues the successful partnership between Champion Homes and Quartz Properties, highlighting the potential of modular construction in various communities. Other notable developments include:
