Housing Tour

Join us for a tour of modular builder Veev's manufacturing facility and the company's own Laurel Street Townhomes as well as the single-family homes, townhomes, and flats at One 90 by Pulte.

See, learn, and experience the future of residential construction at modular construction company Veev's zero-waste fabrication facility. Witness the construction of its proprietary panelized system that claims to build homes four times faster than the industry average and chat with the leadership team behind it all. Then see their product in action at the Laurel Street Townhomes, a modern six-unit building built with Veev's panels, high performance surfaces, windows, and more.

One 90, Pulte's new community in San Mateo, features modern architecture and energy-efficient construction. The tour will include five different home types, including single-family detached homes, townhomes, and flats, all with designer-selected finishes and smart home technology features.
