Laith Michael

While living in Northern California, Laith developed a passion for both affordable and workforce housing. This passion continued after his return home to the Midwest where workforce housing is just as in demand. Having developed in San Francisco, where statistically costs have always been high, Laith has learned the value of responsible design; understanding that every line drawn means real dollars spent. He strives to keep costs down while incorporating as many energy efficient materials and design elements as possible.
