Rethink Starter Housing

ADUs, small lot, and infill development across Southern California and the Mountain West

Butterfly develops and builds starter home communities on infill sites with unrealized density potential. We focus on small format housing, using Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and condominium law (AB 1033) to create missing middle housing inside existing neighborhoods.

Our Approach

Standard Plans

A library of plans pre-approved in multiple jurisdictions, adapted to each site rather than dropped onto it.

Design That Holds Up

Full kitchens, in-unit laundry, and finishes specified to rent or sell at the top of the submarket.

Parking, Privacy, Storage

Density that doesn't cost residents the things they'd have in a single-family home.

Entitlement to Delivery

Ministerial and by-right pathways, permitted and built on a defined schedule.
