  • Troy Jensen | Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's)
    Jan 15 2023

    Accessory Dwelling Units, or mini homes, are becoming an increasingly popular solution to the affordable housing crisis. Troy Jensen is an expert in residential housing with New Residential Solutions. He specializes in developing and implementing accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as a viable solution to meet the affordable housing needs here in Utah. ADUs offer an alternative to traditional housing that typically come with much higher costs. By providing living spaces that are smaller than conventional homes yet still comfy and efficient, ADUs decrease the cost of ownership. They also make it easier to rent out extra space for supplemental income and provide more flexibility with homeownership.

  • The George | Salt Lake Parade of Homes
    Jul 25 2022
    Manifest Development and Breen Homes present "The George" in the 2022 Salt Lake Parade of Homes. "The George" is a perfect example of why the Salt Lake Parade of Homes is for everyone.

    Adam Breen, the owner of Breen homes, describes the design of the four-plex. Adam has extensive knowledge of the home building industry, from land layout to framing to design and final touches. Over the past decade, Adam has built everything from track housing to high-end custom homes. Adam is also an integral partner of the Utah Cribs Development Company, where he works to fulfill his dream of building Utah's future one house at a time. He walks clients through the entire home-building process. As a result, Adam has been a considerable asset to professionals and clients seeking professional help in the industry.

    What Makes Salt Lake City a Great Place to Live

    Many people move to Salt Lake to work in the tech industry. However, the job scene isn't the only attraction for families moving to Salt Lake City and the surrounding area. "It's livability, attainability, for everyone. Adam says there's a range of livability in the Salt Lake Valley, which makes our location such an attractive place to live. You can see various homes, from a townhome to a custom home."

    Incorporating Ideas from the Parade of Homes

    Many times, people can't afford the large homes that are on display at the Parade of Homes. However, Adam suggests you don't go to the Parade of Homes to see the homes you can't afford. "Go there to take home new ideas such as what to do with your unfinished basement space, how to remodel your kitchen, or how you can landscape your backyard."

    Downtown you'll see old homes remodeled or rebuilt. When you head west, you get new development. Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas "have this unique variation of housing opportunity, so we say that the Salt Lake Parade of Homes is for everybody."
