Samara

Fast Company just named Samara one of their Most Innovative Companies of 2025. Fast Company sees what we see: reimagining housing and construction isn’t just necessary, it’s urgent. Housing is critical for communities. Prefab isn’t the only solution to unlock more housing, but it is one of the most effective. Through exceptional products, incredible design and execution, and uncompromising service, we’re betting Samara is the company that moves prefab beyond novelty and into the mainstream. This recognition, alongside TIME’s Best Inventions acknowledgment, confirms our approach resonates beyond our industry. Some validation arrives right on time.

We’re a Californian company, and are all too familiar with the devastation, uncertainty, and heartbreak the fires in Southern California bring. Since last week, our team has received countless calls from those seeking to return to their properties through accessory dwelling units—both from those directly impacted and from friends and family trying to help their loved ones rebuild. To support recovery efforts, we’re extending special pricing to homeowners across Southern California’s impacted communities. We know there’s so much to figure out, and an ADU may be just one piece of the path forward. We’re here to make that option straightforward if and when it makes sense for you.

It's true! We recently conducted a survey with California homeowners to measure their attitudes towards ADUs and the results paint a clear picture: ADUs are welcome in neighborhoods and increasingly mainstream. Check out the data, plus other insights, in our full report: https://lnkd.in/eZdVTyS2

California is serious about accessory dwelling units. The Department of Housing and Community Development just released its 2025 ADU Handbook, reflecting California's latest ADU-friendly policies. We've created a useful guide breaking down what these changes mean for homeowners, multifamily operators, and developers. A few of the bigger changes: - ADUs can be converted into condos and sold separately from primary residences - State law now voids HOA restrictions on ADU development - Multi-family properties can add up to 8 detached ADUs - Pre-2020 unpermitted ADUs have a clearer path to legalization All these changes present major opportunities for housing development across California.

We’re thrilled to announce that Samara’s Backyard ADU has been included in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024 list! We’re proud to stand among other innovators who are reshaping how we live. #TIMEBestInventions #MeetSamara

"It really is the Tesla or Apple of housing..." That's CNBC's Squawk Box host Andrew Ross Sorkin on Samara. Last Thursday cofounders Joe G. and Mike McNamara stopped by the morning market news show to discuss how ADUs give much needed flexibility to homeowners and help alleviate the housing shortage at the same time. Watch the clip here:

It never gets old seeing volumetric buildings running down a dynamic assembly line. Not only are the builds done more efficiently and at a higher quality than similar jobs I have done in the field but also opportunities for innovation are endless. Samara

According to a recent report, more than half of homeowners want more space. That's why we're introducing Backyard XL 10: our newest, largest ADU boasting roomier bedrooms, en suite and shared bathrooms, and an upsized kitchen and living area in 950 luxurious square feet.
