Champion Homes Inc., the Troy, Michigan-based producer of factory-built housing, announced the opening of Blythe Village, an affordable, offsite-built community in Fresno, Calif.
Built in partnership with developer Ted Moon, the 67-unit, build-to-rent multifamily development offers three-bedroom, two-bathroom homes ranging from 933 to 1,120 square feet.
“The ability to use manufactured housing for scale and speed-to-market has a real impact,” said Champion Homes Director of Business Development Chuck Bleth. “We’re proud of our team’s dedication to accelerating this project in terms of both product development and production capability.”
During a ribbon cutting ceremony for Blythe Village held on Feb. 2, Fresno Mayor Jerry P. Dyer praised the new community for helping to address his city’s housing needs.
“I am so proud of the Blythe Village project and all it represents as part of my administration’s efforts to address our city’s housing crisis,” said Dyer. “This project is yet another example of the creative, out-of-the-box thinking necessary to provide housing solutions that are responsive to our community’s needs, fulfilling the One Fresno vision of making Fresno the inclusive, prosperous, beautiful city where people take pride in their neighborhoods and community.”
