- ejstronge 5y agoDoes anyone have a sense of how expensive each building is?
- rolph 5y agothere was a mention of overall costs ""In March, Palari Homes and the construction company Mighty Buildings announced a $15 million planned community of more than a dozen 3-D printed homes in Rancho Mirage, Calif. The community has a waiting list of more than 1,000. The same month, Icon announced it had teamed up with the developer 3Strands and DEN Property Group on >>four 3-D printed homes in Austin, priced at $450,000 to $795,000.<< Icon has also printed homes in the Community First Village in Austin, a project of the nonprofit organization Mobile Loaves & Fishes that provides permanent housing to homeless men and women""
