Connecticut Land Development Team

Building BIOS Village™ – Affordable, Sustainable Congregate Housing

Our team specializes in helping Connecticut landowners unlock maximum value by transforming land into high-impact, affordable congregate housing through the BIOS Village™ model. Whether your parcel is .08 acres or over 800 acres, we create a development path that aligns with town goals, new state housing requirements, and the rising demand for sustainable, community-driven homes.

BIOS Village™ is our proprietary system for building intergenerational, net-zero, community-based housing where people can live, learn, work, play, and thrive together. Each village combines micro-footprint homes with expansive shared spaces, gardens, paths, ponds, and wellness amenities — all crafted to meet the needs of mind, body, and soul.

Every piece of land is unique. Every town has different needs. Our team brings the expertise to evaluate your property, determine its highest and best use, and design a project that serves both your financial goals and your community.

Why Landowners Choose Us

  • We specialize in high-density, low-impact development
  • We design around new state housing laws (HB 8002)
  • BIOS Village creates high appraisal value and strong absorption
  • Towns embrace the model because it provides affordable, sustainable housing without large burdens
  • Our integrated team handles zoning, financial modeling, engineering, construction, and state-funded pathways

Schedule an appointment today to see how your property can become a thriving BIOS Village™ — a place that elevates both community and legacy.
