Signature features
Merit Homes’ upcoming developments include Accessory Dwelling Units( ADU) which can either be attached or detached and built on the property of the primary single-family home, with a maximum 1200 square feet of living space. These are often referred to as in-law units or backyard cottages. There are many reasons why people construct ADUs, including creating a space to generate rental income or to live near loved ones. Some even use them as a work from home space or personal gym that offers more privacy than their main home.
While these Kirkland homes have a reduced footprint and smaller price tag, they
still include many of the signature features and renowned characteristics found in a traditional Merit Home. The company built the Urban Series, with sustainable design and environmental impact in mind, without sacrificing its longstanding dedication to
luxury home building.
“ We’ re in the process of starting 27 homes this year,” Josh shares.“ So, we’ re excited about leveraging many of the new designs we’ ve mentioned. We’ ll also be driven by the market as there are a lot of economic forces at play that dictate our buyers’ appetite and ability to purchase. We’ ll also keep a close eye on what the city’ s going to do to hopefully incentivize home building in the area,” he concludes.“ Our nation and our state are in the midst of an affordable housing crisis, and builders need to be thought of as partners in the solution with governing agencies. Merit Homes is striving to do its part.” ■
