"This financing will be used to scale our business," said Bill Haney, co-founder and president of Blu. "The market for beautiful, green, healthy homes is sizeable and we have a unique product at a reasonable price that homeowners, developers and corporations across the country are buying. Our new 80,000 square foot facility in East Longmeadow, Mass. will allow us to meet the growing demand."
Blu's break-through information and building science technology allow Blu to economically design, manufacture and ship its green homes and buildings across the United States. Unlike modular homes, Blu builds spaces up to 34 feet wide with ceiling heights up to 16 feet, so the designs are open, spacious and bright. Blu's homes can be finished on site in a matter of weeks and are constructed of a steel/wood frame designed for extraordinary durability.
