In an attempt to cut construction costs and timelines, homebuilder Lennar is partnering with ICON — an Austin based home manufacturing company — to bring 3D printed houses to Georgetown.
Once built, the 100 units planned will be sold as a part of the Wolf Ranch master planned community. Home sales are expected to begin in 2023, with anticipated costs starting in the mid-$400,000s.
