indieDwell Expands Idaho Operations

indieDwell’s Caldwell Factory

indieDwell, an Idaho-based builder of modular affordable housing expanded its presence in Idaho leasing an additional 3,000 square feet adjacent to its current operations in Caldwell. The addition of the new building adds 20% to the company’s under roof footprint. This is the company’s second Idaho expansion in as many years.

Founded in 2016 by Pete Gombert and Scott Flynn with a team of six employees, the company now employs 70 people in Idaho and Colorado, where the company is soon to open a 100,000 square foot manufacturing facility. “The leasing of the new space here in Caldwell adds the capacity for research and development and prototyping of new modular units,” said indieDwell CEO Christina Ortiz Bluth. The company will be increasing headcount in the future to fill the new roles.

indieDwell currently has projects in the works for customers in three states, including 54 units at the College of Idaho for student housing, and 125 units for workforce and permanent supportive housing for developer customers in Los Angeles.

The company completed tenant improvements to the building and began operations in the facility in late April.
