\u201cZuri Gardens was born from the frustration of watching hardworking families get priced out of safe, resilient housing. We knew there had to be a better way \u2014 and with this project, we\u2019re proving that there is,\u201d says Vanessa Cole, co-founder of Cole Klein Builders. <\/p>\n
\u201cBy combining visionary design, advanced construction technology, and powerful partnerships, we\u2019re building more than just homes \u2014 we\u2019re creating a blueprint for the future of equitable homeownership in Houston and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
The development is being created for households earning up to 120 percent of the median income in the Houston metro area. For a four-member household in the Houston area, the 120 percent limit in 2025 is $121,300<\/a>, as set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).<\/p>\n The 13-acre Zuri Gardens development will feature 80 energy-efficient homes averaging 1,360 square feet. Prices will be in the mid to high $200s. The homes will qualify for up to $125,000 in down payment assistance from the City of Houston.<\/p>\n HiveASMBLD will print two different home designs, each with two-bedroom and two-and-a-half bathroom configurations, along with an office\/flex space and a covered patio.<\/p>\n \u201cThe community we envision for Zuri Gardens is modern, safe, and one that residents will be proud to call home. When completed using HiveASMBLD\u2019s innovative technology, this 3D-printed multifamily community will exemplify the future of residential affordable living,\u201d says Timothy Lankau, founder and co-CEO of HiveASMBLD.<\/p>\n Developments like Zuri Gardens are popping up around the country.<\/p>\n \u201c3D-printed homes are revolutionizing the construction industry by making home builds faster, cheaper, and more sustainable,\u201d according to The Zebra<\/a>, an Austin-based insurance marketplace. \u201cIn less than 24 hours, 3D printers can print the foundation and walls for a small home at a fraction of the cost of typical construction.\u201d<\/p>\n U.S. News & World Report explains<\/a> that unlike a traditional home, a 3D-printed home is printed in place, \u201cjust like you\u2019d print a knickknack on your home 3D printer. Layer by layer, proprietary concrete blends are used to build the wall systems of the home in any type of design that a builder can imagine.\u201d<\/p>\n Texas is home to several trailblazing 3D-printed projects.<\/p>\n In the U.S., the first 3D-printed home was built in 2018 in Austin, and the first 3D-printed multistory home was completed in 2023 in Harris County\u2019s Spring Branch neighborhood. Meanwhile, the world\u2019s largest neighborhood of 3D-printed homes is located in the Austin suburb of Georgetown.<\/p>\n Grand View Research predicts the global market for 3D-printed construction<\/a> will approach $4.2 billion by 2030.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n![\"Zuri](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755617234_455_img.jpg\")
