Azure Printed Homes opens 25,000 sq. ft. Denver facility to expand 3D printed housing
Manufacturer targets 352 units per year with recycled-material construction process, after receiving state backing
Azure Printed Homes, a California-based 3D printed housing solutions provider, has opened a 25,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Denver.
The company received a $3.895 million loan from Colorado’s Affordable Housing Financing Fund, commonly known as Prop 123, to support the expansion, and the investment forms part of the state’s broader efforts to increase housing production through manufacturing-based construction methods.
“Colorado is leading the way with forward-thinking policies that remove barriers and incentivize scalable, resilient construction,” stated Gene Eidelman, Co-Founder and CEO of Azure Printed Homes.
“This new facility brings our agile manufacturing platform for housing directly to the region, helping communities build faster and more affordably while addressing critical needs like workforce housing and solutions for homelessness.”
The facility combines a manufacturing platform for housing with FrameCAD light-gauge steel fabrication, enabling construction of fire-resilient homes built with recycled materials — including recycled plastic bottles. The company projected the site will produce 352 units per year in Colorado.
The facility is positioned to serve demand for workforce housing, affordable housing, and homelessness initiatives across Colorado and neighboring states. Strong regional demand, in addition to the favorable state policies for constructors, were contributing factors to the business’s decision to expand its manufacturing operation in Colorado.
Founded four years ago, Azure Printed Homes claims to have delivered more than 100 homes nationwide and is building a project pipeline exceeding $60 million.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new Denver location was attended by Colorado Governor Jared Polis, Eve Lieberman of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), Maria De Cambra, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), and representatives from the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.
“Colorado is leading the way to build more housing that people can afford, and an important part of that is investing in innovative and lower-cost construction methods,” said Governor Polis. “There is no silver bullet solution to address our housing shortage, which is why we are looking at every innovative solution to build more homes and save people money.
“When at full capacity, this new Azure Printed Homes facility will support 50 good-paying jobs and help Colorado build more homes people can afford.”
