Honomobo owner Devon Siebenga said his homes will range in size from 320 to 649 square feet, by combining up to three modules, and can be used in backyards or on city-owned land to help with the homelessness problem.
Siebenga’s brother runs a company that repurposes containers into office suites and storage units for the oil industry, so he is no stranger to the concept, but his buildings will be larger, 26 feet long X 24 feet wide.
He said a single unit will cost around $100,000, but postulates the modular homes will put a big dent in the homeless population of Kelowna.
With the first container home already approved, the company is set to launch in June. ##
