Daniel Kaufman and Oldivai Launches Workforce Housing Projects in Winooski, Shelburne (Vermont) and Jacksonville (Florida) to Serve the "Missing Middle"

Dallas, Texas - Oldivai Capital ("Oldivai"), the national developer specialising in workforce-housing solutions for individuals earning 80-120% of area median income (AMI), today announced the launch of three new residential development projects in key markets: Winooski, Vermont; Shelburne, Vermont; and Jacksonville, Florida. These developments mark an expansion of Oldivai's mission to provide high-quality, well-located housing for working families, first responders, teachers, healthcare workers, and other essential personnel who are increasingly priced out of the communities they serve.

Project Overview

In Winooski, Vermont, Oldivai is advancing site acquisition and pre-development planning for a modular multifamily community designed to serve the local workforce of Chittenden County.

In Shelburne, Vermont, Oldivai is structuring a comparable development effort targeting the missing-middle workforce segment in a growth corridor contiguous to Burlington, Vermont.

In Jacksonville, Florida, Oldivai is mobilising a workforce housing community that leverages the region's employment growth, strong institutional-employer base, and demand for attainable units within reach of key employment nodes.
Each of the three projects will employ contemporary modular construction techniques and a "kit-of-parts" design model to accelerate delivery, improve quality, reduce construction waste, and drive scale. The approach parallels the company's pilot project-Oldivai on 31st (Project Zero) in Spokane, Washington-that validated the use of factory-built modules and rapid site assembly ahead of launch.

"Too often the people who keep our communities running-teachers, nurses, first responders, tradespeople-are locked out of the housing they need, and the places they serve," said Daniel Kaufman, President of Oldivai and longtime real-estate developer. "Our work in Vermont and Florida advances our belief that workforce housing doesn't have to be second-class: it can be smart, scalable, high quality, connected to jobs and community, and attainable for the missing-middle."
"By standardising design and modular construction, we can reduce the delivery timeline and improve economics while preserving the human experience-amenities, community space, access to transit or employers-that we believe working families deserve," Kaufman added.

Why These Markets?

Winooski & Shelburne, Vermont - With rising housing costs in and around the Burlington-area region and a strong concentration of healthcare, education and service-sector employment, the need for missing-middle housing is acute. Oldivai's model aligns strongly with that demand.
Jacksonville, Florida - Florida's significant population growth, tight housing supply and large employer base make Jacksonville a compelling market for workforce housing anchored by institutional and employer demand.
