Empactis Urban
Building Better Communities, One Home at a Time.
Empactis Urban develops attainable, community-focused housing for the families who form the backbone of our nation. We are dedicated to making the dream of homeownership a reality for the teachers, first responders, nurses, and skilled professionals who power our local economies.
Our Purpose: Rebuilding the American Dream
At Empactis Urban, we are on a mission to build vibrant, accessible communities for the heart of America. We believe that a safe, quality home in a supportive neighbourhood shouldn't be a luxury. Our purpose is to create not just houses, but a dynamic community fabric where people can connect, put down roots, and thrive. We achieve this by focusing our efforts on underutilized land within existing neighbourhoods, particularly in federally designated Opportunity Zones where investment can spark significant positive change.
Serving the "Missing Middle"
For too long, the U.S. housing market has offered two extremes: large single-family homes or dense apartment complexes. This has created a critical gap, leaving millions of middle-income households without attainable options that fit their lifestyle.
Empactis Urban was created to fill this void. We focus exclusively on developing ‘Missing Middle’ housing - a range of thoughtfully designed solutions including duplexes, town homes, cottage courts, and innovative micro-housing that offer the perfect blend of privacy, community, and affordability.
Our Homes: Designed for Real Life
We build neighbourhoods, not just developments. Every aspect of an Empactis Urban community is designed with the well-being of its residents in mind.
-
1. Attainable Quality
We engineer our projects to deliver homes with a target sale price between $225,000 and $250,000, making homeownership a tangible reality for households with moderate incomes.
-
Our communities are more than just a collection of houses. With shared green spaces, walking trails, and community gardens, we design for interaction and foster a true sense of belonging.
-
We prioritize durable, quality construction and efficient, functional floor plans. From compact micro-housing units to family-friendly town homes (typically 850 to 1,250 sq. ft.), our focus is on smart, practical design that maximizes every square foot to meet the evolving needs of our communities.
A Strategic and Informed Approach
Our development model is strategic and impact-focused. We specialize in in-fill development, transforming underutilized or vacant lots within existing urban areas into vibrant communities of town homes and cottage court clusters that maximizes land use and reduces sprawl.
Crucially, our work is supported by a growing wave of pro-housing legislation in key states. We strategically target federally designated Opportunity Zones, where our investments not only generate returns but also contribute directly to the economic well-being of communities that need it most. This favorable environment allows us to navigate the development process more effectively, reduce risk, and deliver much-needed affordable homes to the communities that need them most.
-
Our homes are designed to serve a diverse range of buyers, including:
First-Time Homebuyers seeking an accessible and affordable path to ownership.
Downsizers looking for a vibrant, low-maintenance community lifestyle.
Impact-Minded Investors wanting to add quality, in-demand rental properties to their portfolio.
