BUSINESS BRIEFS

Lennar

The largest community of 3D-printed homes is coming to Georgetown. Lennar, one of the nation’s leading home builders, and ICON, a construction technologies company pioneering large-scale 3D printing, will team up to bring 100 contemporary Texas ranch-style homes to the master-planned community of Wolf Ranch by Hillwood Communities. “For the first time in the history of the world, what we’re witnessing here is a fleet of robots building an entire community of homes,” ICON co-founder and CEO Jason Ballard says. “In the future, I believe robots and drones will build entire neighborhoods, towns, and cities, and we’ll look back at Lennar’s Wolf Ranch community as the place where robotic construction at scale began.”

Co-designed by architectural firm BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, each Lennar home in Wolf Ranch will offer three to four bedrooms, with prices expected to start from the mid-$400,000s.
