Hurricane-Resistant Homes Coming to Apopka: A Game-Changer for Florida Real Estate

A Texas-based homebuilder is introducing cutting-edge hurricane-resistant homes to Central Florida, and the plans are already creating a buzz. Onx Homes, known for its innovative modular construction technology, has submitted plans for a new subdivision in Apopka, right next to the Wyld Oaks master-planned community.

The proposed development will feature 54 single-family homes on Golden Gem Road, just south of Wyld Oaks. What makes this project especially exciting isn’t just the location—it’s Onx Homes’ ability to construct houses in just 30 days using their unique X+ Construction technology.

How Does X+ Construction Work?

Onx’s approach to homebuilding is anything but traditional. Here’s how it works:

1. Factory-Built Precision: Every element of the home is pre-fabricated in one of their state-of-the-art factories in Texas or Florida, including their new 150,000-square-foot facility in Pompano Beach.
2. Ready-to-Install Pods: Components like kitchens and bathrooms are assembled in “pods,” fully completed and ready for installation.
3. Streamlined Assembly: These modular pieces are delivered to the construction site, where the home is molded and cast on-site in record time—far quicker than the typical eight-month construction timeline.

Why Onx Homes Matter for Florida

With homes built using 90% concrete, Onx properties are designed to withstand winds of up to 175 mph, making them an ideal choice for hurricane-prone areas like Central Florida. After a challenging hurricane season, including Hurricane Milton, which caused $47 million in damages across Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties, durable homes like these are becoming a necessity.

Expanding Across Florida

Onx Homes isn’t just focused on Apopka—they’re making waves across Florida with five communities currently in the works. Their On Villa Pass community in Lake County’s Mascotte was recently showcased during the 2024 Parade of Homes, with single-family homes starting at $389,900.

Other Florida developments include projects in Homestead, Punta Gorda, and Lehigh Acres. According to Onx’s COO, Ravi Bhat, the company is on track to build 700 homes in 2024, thanks to their advanced construction process.

“Our approach not only addresses climate challenges but also improves quality control, reduces waste, and significantly shortens construction timelines,” Bhat shared in a press release.

Sustainable, Hurricane-Resistant, and Affordable

While concrete homes are typically more expensive to build than traditional wooden ones, Onx’s innovative technology makes these homes a more affordable option for buyers. As Bhat emphasizes, “We need homes that are not only environmentally sustainable but also capable of withstanding natural disasters. Concrete homes are the way forward, and with advancements in green and carbon-neutral materials, we’re building for the future.”
