A full shipping-container subdivision is bound for the Atlanta ’burbs'

Company: Three floorplans start from $305K, can be built in as little as six weeks

A homebuilding company led by a husband-wife duo is planning a full Fulton County subdivision of recycled shipping-container houses they say are stylish, low-maintenance, environmentally responsible, relatively affordable, and all but indestructible.

The site in question sits along an existing cul-de-sac in the rolling hills of the City of South Fulton, about 20 miles southwest of downtown. The homebuilding company, Evo Haven, is based in the area and led by Majesty and Elize Gayle, a proudly millennial couple and owners of real estate business INTL Realty Partners.

Their plans, while unique for Atlanta’s suburbs, echo small intown projects created of former cargo containers once used to transport goods in bulk. A similar multi-home venture called Stacks at Wilson is now coming together near Westview Cemetery in

Evo Haven’s plans, as announced earlier this month, call for 17 modern-style container homes to be built on a 10-acre property as customers order them. The area, per the company, is “claimed to be the most welcoming and safest community for individuals and families.” 

If floorplans and renderings are any indication, the Evo Haven offerings will hardly qualify as tiny houses, and the aesthetic could recall sustainable housing builds you might find around Miami.

The three available plans—dubbed “Imagine,” “Dream,” and “Vision”—cost between $305,000 and $357,000. That buys either three or four bedrooms, and between 1,375 and 1,996 square feet.

Once plans are finalized with buyers, Evo Haven says homes can be constructed in six weeks to three months. The homes’ lifespan is estimated at more than 25 years “with minimal maintenance.”

The company notes the dwellings are categorized as “real property” and appraised just like any other single-family residence—which is to say, these ain’t mobile homes.

What does it mean to be Net Zero?

Humans have advanced in technology and achieved globalization. However, much of it came at a price. We compromised on our planet's health and left behind huge human footprints. Today we are going through the aftermath of industrialization and are seeing a change in our climatic conditions. Our planet is becoming warmer than usual, which is not ideal for the planet and humankind.  Industries like the conventional construction industry are contributing largely to the overall climate change, which is why we need energy-efficient real estate to combat these issues. The conventional buildings are known to embody carbon that comes from the material used and the construction process itself. This carbon needs to be reduced down by using environmentally friendly materials and renewable energy in the construction process. Tackling climate change is one of the top priorities worldwide, and one way that can be done is by reaching net zero. But before we dive in deeper, we need to know about ne...

frobes.com There is constant development around the globe. Businesses have found success with different money-making projects. These successes have elevated the society into good working and balanced working communities that provide safe homes, safe infrastructure to a better quality of life to people.
