M1 studio crossing a California bridge, on its way to meet new residents in Sonoma County.
Magdalena creates beautiful homes and deploys them quickly and at scale. Our solution is addressing the housing shortage in urban and rural communities alike, with broad adoption across demographics.
Each home is built and delivered in three months. You can rent or own. We partner with landowners to place the home where you need it. Multiple homes can be set up together for family, friends, and community.
