Seattle, WA – Method Homes, builder of sustainable, modern, prefab homes and commercial structures, announces the installation of a recently built modular townhome development project in West Seattle that will be installed at 2816 South West Genesee Street. The three townhomes will arrive in 12 pieces and be craned onto their foundation over two days. The homes are being offered as pre-sale opportunities for move-in availability in Q1 2014.
The homes were constructed in Method’s manufacturing facility located north of Bellingham in Ferndale, Washington, and will arrive at the site nearly complete, with windows, kitchens, appliances, baths, flooring, and light fixtures already installed. On site work will involve joining the modules at the seams, utility connections, and installing remaining siding, which typically takes 6 to 8 weeks.
Designed by Method’s architect partner Chris Pardo Design: Elemental Architecture, each 1,630 square foot, 4-Star Built Green home is 3 levels with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, an attached garage, and rooftop deck. Two of the units have a shared wall and the third is a stand-alone unit. All of the townhomes share a parking court. They are situated across the street from the West Seattle Golf Course in the Youngstown neighborhood of West Seattle.
The townhomes were developed by RITCS Holdings, Inc. and are being listed through Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Northwest Real Estate (formerly Prudential Northwest Realty) starting at $450,000.

Seattle, Washington – Modular builder Method Homes was recognized at Seattle Business magazine’s Green Washington Awards held Tuesday, October 29, at the Washington State Convention Center. In addition to identifying a Washington Green 50 list of outstanding organizations, the magazine recognized winners in 12 categories drawn from across the state and from virtually every sector of the economy. Method Homes was awarded silver recognition in the manufacturing category.
“We are pleased to see so many companies introducing innovative technologies, policies and processes that make our economy more environmentally sustainable,” said Leslie Helm, editor of Seattle Business. “Our goal is to encourage those efforts by recognizing the best organizations and holding them up as models for others to follow.”
Founded with a core value of building homes and commercial buildings that incorporate thoughtful, sustainable design, Method Homes was recognized by Seattle Business magazine for its mindful manufacturing practices and establishing a portfolio of projects designed and built to meet some of the country’s leading building certifications, including LEED, Passive House, and Living Building Challenge.
In spring of 2012, Seattle Business magazine named Method Homes Washington State Emerging Manufacturer of the Year, recognizing them for their innovative building practices and notable growth in revenue. Method Homes was also named Washington’s Fastest Growing Private Company in 2012 by the Puget Sound Business Journal. Friends Brian Abramson and Mark Rylant co-founded Method Homes in 2007 and have since launched 8 lines of sustainable prefab home designs, a commercial construction division, Method Prefab, and an East Coast manufacturing facility.
