Developing Health.
Building Community.
At Oldivai, we believe that to develop health in communities, those providing critical services need the opportunity to live in the community where they work.
Our mission is to develop workforce housing that is both well located and affordable for working families. Oldivai partners with cities, community stakeholders and local employers to accelerate infill redevelopment of workforce housing for the “missing middle”.
We leverage modular construction techniques and highly efficient templated design to drive affordability at scale while remaining focused on the human experience.
