Three side-by-side illustrations of one-, two-, and three-story infill homes with dark siding, wood porches, and sloped roofs between older houses — Illustrative housing options at different scales. The right building method depends on the site, the community, and the homes people need.

01 — The Problem

A chain, not a single gap.

Land, approvals, financing, construction capacity, and community trust all have to move together. A breakdown at any link can stall the whole project.

02 — The Approach

Better housing starts with better choices.

We pursue the combination of building methods, technology, and capital structures that can deliver quality housing efficiently, affordably, and sustainably.

03 — The Vision

A stronger housing ecosystem.

Shared regional capacity helps builders and community collaborators deliver housing at scale — the foundation for thriving neighborhoods and local businesses.

Fifthline Build Co. is led by Todd Marcus, Managing Principal, with a long-standing track record in Kansas City real estate and development.
