Start Small. Grow Smart. Own Your Home.

Rising construction costs, restrictive zoning, and limited financing pathways have left many Americans with few viable housing options—often forcing them into condominiums with high HOA fees or continued renting. Mesocore’s expandable housing model offers an alternative that combines private land ownership, long-term adaptability, and flexible paths to ownership.

Designed for Flexibility, Resilience, and Real Living

At the core of Mesocore’s housing platform is a 420-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath modular core designed as a fully self-contained residence. Each core includes a full kitchen, dedicated living area, private bedroom, and built-in desk, providing the complete functionality of a conventional home in a compact footprint.

Mesocore homes are designed to meet the International Building Code (IBC) and include solar power with battery backup as a standard feature, reducing long-term energy costs while allowing the home to operate during grid outages—an important benefit for both everyday living and emergency situations.

“Homeownership shouldn’t require buying more house than you need, giving up control, or remaining locked out of the market,” said Joey Esposito, Jr., VP of Business Development at Mesocore Modular Homes. “Our goal is to make ownership attainable from day one, while giving people the ability to grow over time.”

Modular Deployment With Traditional Expansion

Mesocore’s housing platform combines the speed and predictability of modular construction with the long-term flexibility of traditional building methods. The initial modular core allows for faster deployment and consistent quality.

When homeowners are ready to expand, they can choose from multiple pre-engineered expansion plans that integrate seamlessly with the original core and are constructed using conventional, site-built construction methods. These expansions can be completed by local contractors and permitted and inspected through standard local building processes.

This hybrid approach ensures:

• Faster initial delivery
• Long-term flexibility and scalability
• Compatibility with local labor, codes, and inspection practices

Expandable Homes With Flexible Paths to Ownership

Mesocore homes are designed to expand over time into two-, three-, or four-bedroom residences of up to approximately 1,500 square feet, without requiring homeowners to relocate.

To further lower barriers to entry, Mesocore is utilizing flexible financing options, including rent-to-own pathways, allowing households to transition from occupancy to ownership over time. This approach supports buyers who may not yet qualify for traditional financing while preserving a clear path to long-term homeownership.

Supporting State and Local Emergency Management — Without Being Temporary

While designed first and foremost as permanent homes, Mesocore’s expandable housing platform also offers meaningful benefits for state and local emergency management and recovery efforts. The ability to deploy compact, code-compliant homes quickly—and later expand them into permanent residences—helps communities respond to displacement without relying on short-term, disposable housing solutions.

Exhibiting at the Resilient City Expo in Miami

Mesocore Modular Homes will be exhibiting at the Resilient City Expo in Miami on March 4 and 5, where the company will engage with city leaders, planners, emergency management professionals, and resilience experts focused on addressing climate-driven risks and housing challenges.

Florida Pilot Demonstrates Real-World Application

Mesocore plans to launch its first pilot subdivision in Gainesville, Florida, with construction expected to begin later this year. The pilot will demonstrate how expandable homes, small-lot development, and flexible ownership models can deliver attainable housing while supporting resilience in a rapidly growing state.

Florida Pilot and Future Development Opportunities

Mesocore Modular Homes is advancing its expandable housing platform through active development efforts in Florida, including an initial pilot project planned to break ground later this year. Building on this momentum, Mesocore is actively seeking development partners for future projects across Florida and other growth markets.

The company is engaging with developers, landowners, and municipalities interested in delivering expandable, small-lot housing that supports affordability, resilience, and long-term homeownership.

“Expandable housing works best when it’s deployed at scale and in partnership with local stakeholders,” said Joey Esposito, Jr., VP of Business Development. “We’re looking to collaborate with developers who want to rethink how housing is built, financed, and grown over time.”

A Scalable Housing Platform for a Changing Market

As housing costs continue to outpace incomes and communities seek smarter ways to grow, Mesocore Modular Homes is working with developers, municipalities, and partners to deploy expandable housing at scale. By combining modular efficiency, traditional expansion, and flexible financing, Mesocore aims to restore a practical, attainable path to homeownership across generations.
