New: 6 homes in a 39×59 ft pack. Drawn on a typical lot — every real lot differs, so this is illustrative, not a site-specific layout.
The program
6 homes — 4 market townhomes in a 39x39 corner row + 2 covenant townhomes in a 39x19.5 affordable pair.
+5 net new homes per lot, 2 income-restricted.
Workbook-baseline economics
If built and sold at today's modeled prices, this project could return $679K–$715K in gross modeled owner value before mortgage payoff and taxes.

- Parcel-specific inputs
Across conservative and base selling-cost cases, before mortgage payoff and taxes.
$557K per home
A 5% market-home price drop erases the profit under conservative selling costs.

Illustrative workbook baseline — a real packet adjusts these with the parcel's own assessor, market, and rent data.
Where it fits
Neighborhood-residential corner lots OUTSIDE the major-transit walkshed, with a low-value teardown house. Two income-restricted homes unlock the six-home tier where transit doesn't; market support affects the score and still needs local comp verification.
What must be true
- A neighborhood-residential corner lot outside the major-transit walkshed
- Enough usable width and depth for six townhomes
- The two-affordable-home regulatory path remains available to the parcel
Verify before relying on it
- Affordability covenant, pricing, buyer, and monitoring requirements
- Surveyed frontage, access, trees, utilities, and title constraints
- Market-home pricing and total project financing
