Blueprint of Microtopia Village
Microtopia is the future of affordable and unique housing designed exclusively for the Millennial generation. The vision is to provide this amazing generation with an innovative and sustainable community to support home ownership, collaboration, entrepreneurship, education and global connection. Nowhere is it more evident than in the latest research, which we just
stated, that home ownership will be out of reach for one of most prolific generations to come along since the Baby Boomers. Why Microtopia Village? Through countless hours of research, meetings, and discussions with local economists and professionals, we have come to the following conclusions:
• The Millennial of today will not be buying a $ 300,000 home (which is the average price for a home in Colorado) for two reasons: one, high debt scenarios from college and two, the major sector of this demographic are not of the mindset of buying large homes.
• To currently purchase an affordable home, most of the existing inventory in the price ranges they could afford are not attractive, too large, and appear to be only available in undesirable or older, dated neighborhoods. Being energy efficient is
a core value of a Millennial.
• Collaboration is valued highly among Millennials; the design of the community heavily incorporates this mindset.
• Sustainability in regard to energy, a smaller carbon footprint, and supporting a unique ecosystem is also a value shared by this group.
• There are no current developments that are specifically designed to fit their wants and their needs.
• Given the high cost of leasing of all types of housing in Denver and the surrounding areas, Millennials are seeking out affordable alternatives. Where can they go to find a community that satisfies all of these prerequisites? Only Microtopia Village. OVERVIEW
Microtopia Village sits on 100 acres and will be one of the most amazing and unique
communities ever to be designed in Colorado. Contained are 400 beautifully designed micro-homes from 500 square feet to 1,200 square feet all surrounding a self-sustaining eco-system of energy, food, collaboration, education, and gardens. These homes all surround community green houses and a 40,000 square foot hub. This unique building contains the latest in fiber technology, a community and event center, access to universities across the state and the globe, Millennial-centered restaurants and a state of the art entrepreneurship incubator and collaboration center. In addition, the entire development will have parks, bike paths, walking paths and direct access to public transportation corridors. Micro-Homes
The ideal, affordable and beautiful unique micro-homes are the keystone of this community. Built from 60% recycled products and designed to manage the complexity of managing energy, comfort, utility and beautiful design were the underpinnings of the development.
