It does not just focus on construction and operational efficiency and the materials that are used for construction, but it revolves around human beings and how their lives can be made better. Keeping the essence of green building in mind, environmental advocacy groups and many individuals with environment-friendly mindsets started looking for ways to ensure energy-efficient construction of homes and buildings. There was a sporadic rise in demand for sustainable buildings in the early 1990's and this made real estate stakeholders such as developers and architects reassess their construction methods .

Evo Haven’s CEO, Majesty Gayle, has stated he is looking at San Francisco as another "potential site for development." San Francisco residents can look forward to having affordable, sustainable container home for living available to them soon.  Gayle believes San Francisco is an exciting market as the houses there are very close together, comparing them with townhouses. He mentioned that the houses in this city are priced at around $1.38 million, which were priced at $420,000 not too long ago. With the exponential increase in the prices, Gayle wants to construct sustainable houses that are more affordable and easy on the pockets for those who wish to own houses in San Francisco.  The land Evo Home has selected to build the container houses is excellent and can house mix-use property on it. “It is a very good piece of land,” says Gayle. “There is a vet center nearby and some retail as well.

Such opportunity zones are created out of areas that are termed as underprivileged.
