Floor Plans Designed for Modern Living
Ohio is short hundreds of thousands of homes. The ones being built take too long, cost too much, and don’t account for what modern households actually need; energy efficiency, smart features, and a price that doesn’t require a $430,000 mortgage.
The Elgin Model is GEM&M’S answer to that gap.
It’s a 1,600 square foot, single-story modular smart home built for the Ohio market. Three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an open-plan living and dining space, and a 500 SF attached garage with a built-in EV charging station, all on a quiet 9.58-acre development in Trotwood.
The roof is solar-ready from day one. The construction process cuts build time by 30–50% versus traditional methods. And every system: framing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, is engineered to code and built for long-term durability.
This isn’t a concept or a prototype. The site is platted, the lots are laid out, and production is underway.

Why Trotwood?
Trotwood sits in Montgomery County, directly west of Dayton, one of Ohio’s most supply-constrained housing markets. The area has a growing workforce population, improving infrastructure, and land acquisition costs that make development viable at a price point that actually serves the market.
It’s not a speculative bet. It’s a deliberate choice based on where demand already exists and supply hasn’t caught up.
Site Plan — All 33 Lots
GEM&M’S Trotwood development site: 33 modular home lots, 9.58 acres, Elgin Roof Drive, Ohio.
Four Elevations... Every Angle
The Elgin has been drawn from all four compass points. Fiber cement horizontal siding, pitched gable roof with integrated solar, oversized windows, and a clean, contemporary profile that holds its value and fits Ohio neighborhoods.
Rear elevation. Clean gable line, consistent siding detail.
South-facing entry facade. Garage on east wing.
Garage door side. 8/12 roof pitch on secondary gable.
Master suite side. Consistent window sizing and proportions.
Built for the Market. Structured for Investors.
More than just a home, The Elgin is a unit in a 33-lot development pipeline positioned inside one of the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. housing market.
Why This Project Attracts Investors
Supply-demand gap: The U.S. is short over 7 million affordable housing units. Ohio’s Dayton metro is one of the markets where that gap is most measurable and least addressed.
Modular speed advantage: Factory-built production cuts build time by 30–50%. Faster delivery means faster unit turnover, faster revenue, and lower holding costs.
Solar integration = per-unit value: Every Elgin unit comes solar-ready. That’s not a cost, it’s a long-term value driver that raises the rent ceiling (if you decide to rent) and sale price for each unit.
Early-stage positioning: The project is currently in a limited investor allocation round. Early-stage entry carries the highest upside before broader market entry.
Real assets, real site: This is not a fund or a concept. The site is platted, the model is designed, and the parcel is active. You can look it up: H33 02101 0074, Montgomery County, Ohio.
This round doesn't stay open.
GEM&M'S modular homes in Ohio are built for the market that exists, not the one that used to. The Elgin Model is production-ready, the site is active, and the allocation round is limited.
Now is the time to take action, not later!
