Our “little boxes” concept is to provide safe and affordable housing options and job creation with factory-built homes.
Our primary aim is to redevelop our middle class by offering move-in ready, elevated 2- and 3- story homes designed for climate change safety on barrier islands and beyond.
Our purpose is to empower, educate, and encourage affordable home ownership and life betterment.
After the recent storms, residents of the barrier islands are faced with critical decisions regarding their safety and their financial future. Global warming is real and is causing higher tides and substantially more damaging storms. Is it time to save our barrier island communities, our families and our futures from a repeat of the devastation we just experienced? Elevate and celebrate rebuilding your life with a 200-mph wind protected, elevated concrete shell delivered from modular factories to existing home sites as small as 40’ x 75’.
The December issue of Paradise News contained a column about FEMA’s 50% rule and the need to elevate your home out of the floodplain if it is substantially damaged. There is a list of advantages. I have been encouraging folks to elevate for years, even if their home is not damaged. Now that you have damage and perhaps even insurance funds available, it is worth looking. Rather than selling your home in Paradise or rushing to get back into your home on the ground, below Base Flood Elevation (BFE), consider raising it out of the flood plain. Slow down and consider options for life betterment, security, and affordability. Participate in our affordable, expandable Madeira Beach prototype opportunity. To apply contact JimBeggins@c21BE.com or 727-254-8144. We will expand to other Pinellas beach communities next.
If you have a FEMA non-compliant home on Madeira Beach, own 40 x 75 ft lot or larger in Madeira Beach with hurricane damaged home on the ground. You have a low mortgage on your home or investment capital or wealthy children or parents. You are EXCITED about proving a concept to save our island lifestyle. Contact us!
As barrier island homeowners for 30+ years, my family is staying and helping others stay and thrive. Our prototype model is affordable, financeable, and will provide future barrier island safety, security and expandable living as desired. Once our prototype in Madeira Beach is proven, expansion to our other barrier island communities will be expedited. Levels can be added when desired by the owner. A prototype Madeira Beach model to be delivered can be viewed and discussed each Saturday on-site from 10:30-11:30am by appointment. I’ve never been more excited in my 50+ year Florida real estate adventure. Let’s save our islands.
