American Housing Corporation launches modular housing platform

The American Housing Corporation has launched as a vertically integrated real estate developer and housing manufacturer, outlining a national strategy to deliver factory-built starter homes in urban markets across the United States. (main image: Prototype townhouse – referred to as “rowhomes” in the US market – developed by The American Housing Corporation, showing the completed exterior adjacent to its Austin manufacturing facility, where flat-packed building components are produced and assembled on site.)

Founded in 2024, the company is headquartered in Austin, Texas, where it opened its first manufacturing facility in 2025. The business was established by Riley Meik, Bobby Fijan, Harris Rothaermel and William Davis, bringing together experience across manufacturing, engineering, software and real estate development.

Unlike conventional modular suppliers, the American Housing Corporation operates as both developer and manufacturer, combining land acquisition, home design, component manufacturing and direct sales within a single organisation.

Vertically integrated development and manufacturing model

The company’s initial focus is on townhouses, a housing typology selected for its density, repeatability and suitability to established urban neighbourhoods. Homes are designed around a proprietary kit-of-parts system, with all major building components manufactured in-house using custom machinery intended to automate production and maintain consistent output.

Structural insulated panels, a key prefabricated element in the company’s build process.

Components are flat-packed into intermodal shipping containers for transport to site, where homes are assembled using repeatable installation processes. The company states that onsite assembly can be completed in days. All homes are permanently installed, fully compliant with local building codes, and classified as conventional housing for financing and ownership purposes, rather than manufactured housing.

Project planning, production and delivery are coordinated through an internal software platform known as Alamo, which integrates site underwriting, factory production and onsite assembly into a single workflow.

Explaining the rationale behind the model, co-founder Bobby Fijan said: “Our company was founded a little more than a year ago, but we’ve already built our first rowhouse. We’re building rowhouses designed for families — the American starter home. The question we’re trying to solve at scale is how to build housing in places where young people already live, so they can stay, have kids, and put down roots.”

Investment backing and national pipeline

The American Housing Corporation’s parent company is backed by venture capital investors Flux Capital, New Founding, Operator Stack and Antler, each holding minority positions. Individual housing developments are financed separately through private real estate capital.

The company is currently progressing its first townhouse developments, with homes to be offered for both sale and rental. It does not provide custom homebuilding services and is pursuing joint ventures with developers and landowners on a project-by-project basis.

Projects are in development across Texas, New Mexico, California, Washington and Montana. The company’s expansion strategy is based on applying the same townhouse system across multiple sites, with in-house manufacturing and direct delivery used to manage cost, quality and project sequencing.
