Rethink Starter Housing

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

Butterfly develops starter housing. We underwrite, entitle, design, and build our own projects: missing middle housing on infill sites with unrealized potential. Our work balances site specificity with standard plans we’ve already permitted. We also provide development management to select owners and institutions, at any stage from acquisition through delivery.
