ICON to 3D print a dozen two-story residential homes in Texas

ICON, one of the leading construction 3D printing companies, has partnered with the architecture firm Michael Hsu Office of Architecture and the developer Catellus to 3D print a dozen two-story residential homes in the Mueller community in Austin, Texas. Additionally, a selection of one-bedroom homes will also be coming soon within the Mueller Affordable Homes Program.

The resilient homes range from 650 to 2,400 square feet across one to three bedrooms with pricing beginning in the mid-$300s to 1M+. Minutes from downtown Austin, the homes are located in a coveted section of the Mueller community with expansive greenbelt views. This vibrant neighborhood blends urban living with green spaces and sustainability and is known for its walkability and family-friendly atmosphere, a mix of modern homes, parks, and recreational areas, along with shops, restaurants, and amenities.

This marks the first ICON homes for sale in Austin since 2021. ICON has recently built the world’s largest community of 3D printed homes with Lennar in Georgetown, Texas, a series of homes in Wimberley, Texas, and is in the process of delivering 104 more homes to Mobile Loaves & Fishes’ Community First! Village in Austin for the chronically homeless and more.

“Mueller is an incredible Austin community to bring our resilient, energy-efficient ICON homes to,” said Jared Kuhn, VP of Real Estate Development and Sales at ICON. “As some of the last newly constructed homes in the highly sought-after community, the to-be-built homes will be located along the Southwest Greenway and offer unobstructed and protected views of the golf course and walking trails. We’ve been looking to collaborate with Michael Hsu for years and are excited to bring to life the elevated designs and offer one-, two- and three-bedroom homes at various price points.”

“Although there is more commercial construction to be completed over the next few years, we’re nearing the end of newly constructed homes in Mueller, and we wanted to celebrate Mueller’s two decades of residential innovation with yet another advancement,” said Sergio Negrete, Principal and Senior Vice President of Arterra Development, which manages Mueller’s redevelopment on behalf of Catellus Development Corp., in partnership with the City of Austin. “After all, Mueller is the place where impassioned professionals, City leaders, and neighborhood advocates developed the unique affordable homes program, Mueller Houses, shop homes, cottage homes, courtyard homes, zero-lot-line homes, and more. These 3D printed homes also help reflect the overall goals of the community, including affordability, diversity, and sustainability.”
