Azure Printed Homes Recognized as a Leader in Urban Innovation

From SXSW to Fast Company: Momentum Builds for 3D-Printed Housing Innovator

Posted

Azure Printed Homes, the fast-scaling company revolutionizing prefab and 3D-printed construction with recycled materials, continues its positive momentum in 2025. Following its March 11 recognition as a SXSW Innovation Award winner for Urban Experience, Azure has now been named one of Fast Company’s 50 Most Innovative Companies for 2025, securing a top 10 spot in the Urban Development and Real Estate category.

Industry Recognition Highlights Sustainable Housing Breakthroughs

Azure was singled out for its ability to leverage modern manufacturing techniques and sustainable materials to “change our subdivisions and skylines,” as noted in Fast Company's 2025 report.

This honor follows Azure’s increasing visibility in the urban tech space. The company’s solutions have impressed innovation panels and drawn national media coverage—including a recent CBS Evening News feature highlighting Azure’s potential to support communities displaced by the recent Los Angeles wildfires.

Scalable, Sustainable Solutions for Real Estate Development

Now in its third year of operation, Azure Printed Homes is positioned as an impressive solution to some of the real estate industry's most pressing challenges: affordability, speed, and sustainability. The company’s patented system uses recycled polymers and fiberglass to create housing units that can be designed online, fabricated, and delivered anywhere in the U.S. within just one to four weeks—at significantly lower costs than traditional construction.  Using over 150,000 recycled plastic bottles per unit, they create sustainable homes in as little as 24 hours, with pricing starting around $20,000 for tiny homes. These solutions offer a scalable, low-cost model for municipalities and developers addressing high demand in tight housing markets.

Azure’s offerings include:

  • Backyard studios and ADUs
  • Tiny homes and glamping units
  • Emergency and transitional housing

With demand increasing, Azure is expanding operations beyond its California facility, with a new Colorado manufacturing hub opening in 2025. This added capacity will allow for greater reach into residential, commercial, and municipal development markets across the country.

As the company scales, Azure Printed Homes aims to meet the growing demand for fast, affordable, and environmentally conscious housing—offering a practical path forward for cities, developers, and homeowners looking to innovate without compromise.
