Los Gatos Prefab 4-Unit Townhome Installed In 3 Days

LOS GATOS, CA — A prefab four-unit townhome development completed in Los Gatos this week took just three days install.

The Southern California prefabricated residential home builder said the South Bay development is an example of how sustainable housing can be built faster and more efficiently than traditional, site-based construction.

Plant Prefab, a company based in Rialto (San Bernardino County) builds homes that range in all sizes. The Los Gatos homes range in size from 2,650 to 2,902 square feet, each with three bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The development is located at 30, 32, 34, and 36 Roberts Rd.

The homes feature modern, upscale design and underground parking caters to the Silicon Valley lifestyle, while thoughtful architectural details provide accessibility for multigenerational families and disabled residents, the company says.

A slanted roof enables rainwater collection and optimal performance for solar panels. Natural wood and stone finishes create warmth and ensure that the new development blends seamlessly with surrounding residential architecture.

The pandemic delayed the project, but construction of the townhomes was able to continue as scheduled at company’s Rialto facility.

“Building with Plant Prefab allowed us to significantly reduce disruption to the neighborhood,” said project developer Jordan Castillo.

“Building offsite also meant that we could work on the site and structure simultaneously. This was particularly beneficial in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.”
