MesoCore® Launches the “Advanced Dwelling Unit” at 2025 Las Vegas I.B.S. (The New American Affordable Solution to Comfortable Living
MesoCore LLC offers a modular “Advanced Dwelling Unit,” so called because it integrates state-of-the-art technologies, solar power, and rainwater harvesting and has far more applications than just “accessory” dwellings. Its universal design offers few options but all the necessary features and systems. It complies with the International Building Code, can be financed, kept in inventory, and shipped immediately.
In 2016, just 1100 Accessory Dwelling Units were built in California; from 2017 to 2021, 63,000 were built! ADUs make homeownership affordable, provide for extended family living, and produce income while improving property value. Nationwide, state and local governments are implementing zoning and legislative changes, making ADUs part of the community housing fabric.
Visit us at the Las Vegas NAHB International Builders Show this February 25-27, 2025! We are located in the South Hall at Booth SU2140!

MesoCore LLC, a Florida modular home manufacturer and a certified container producer, has combined these two technologies to develop a building system that can efficiently deliver modular volumetric, self-sustaining housing units anywhere on Earth. Mechanical, Electric, and Plumbing (MEP) systems, are all factory installed into a custom steel frame, which then becomes a permanent part of the house The unit, as shipped, weighs some 20,000 pounds has exceptional strength, can be handled by all lifting or conveying methods and, as a final-use container, there is nothing to return.
Once on site, the single MesoCore unit expands to a 420 sf Advanced Dwelling Unit with a generous bedroom, full 5’x8’ bath with oversized shower, dressing room wing (19 ft long, 210 sf), a living, kitchen, dining wing (19 ft long, 200 sf) and a utility room. The highly developed floor plan provides true separation between living and sleeping spaces both in plan and volume, and the window vs. solid wall arrangement yields good light in the right places with privacy and a functional furniture layout. The integrated compact space used for appliances and equipment yields more living space and the overall plan feels like a larger dwelling. In addition, the steel frame has a built-in double wall water reservoir that holds 1500 gallons of water (weighing over 12,000 pounds), fed by an integrated rain-water collection system, making the unit a true off-grid and immediate housing solution.
