"West Palm Beach, Fla.-based Mesocore Modular Homes is introducing an expandable modular housing model aimed at improving affordability and disaster relief, an important issue in a state prone to devastating hurricanes. Positioned as an affordable housing solution for both homebuyers and city leaders, planners, emergency management professionals, and resilience experts focused on addressing climate-driven risks, Mesocore's expandable home can start as a 420-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath home with a private bedroom, a full kitchen, a living area, and a built-in desk."
"Essentially, the starter model is the size of a small ADU. If homeowners later decide they need more space, they can expand the home into a two-, three-, or four-bedroom house. CEO Joe Esposito Sr. told The Builder's Daily that the homes, which are designed to be expanded one time, are a great option for entry-level and first-time buyers. While the ADU model isn't meant for a family, owners can expand the residence at their discretion when they need more space,"
"The expandable ADU model is meant to provide an affordable, entry-level homeownership opportunity that is an alternative to a condo. According to Esposito, many municipalities in Florida require a minimum lot size of 5,000 or 6,000 square feet for a primary household. However, Mesocore is pushing to place homes on lots as small as 3,000 square feet to maximize affordability. This is why the builder selected Gainesville, Florida for its first expandable homes subdivision, which is set to be completed by the end of 2026."
Mesocore Modular Homes is offering an expandable modular home that begins as a 420-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath unit with a private bedroom, full kitchen, living area, and built-in desk. The unit functions as a starter ADU and can be expanded one time into a two-, three-, or four-bedroom house to meet evolving household needs. The design targets entry-level and first-time buyers as an affordable alternative to condos and as a tool for disaster-relief and climate resilience in hurricane-prone Florida. Mesocore plans a Gainesville subdivision leveraging a 2024 land-development code allowing 3,000-square-foot lots to maximize affordability.
