Clayton Homes recently announced a partnership with Empire Construction "to create a new e-living concept for multi-family dwellings."

According to Kevin Clayton, President and CEO of Clayton Homes:

Not only will the units be built utilizing the green benefits of modular construction and have energy-efficient features inside of them, but there will also be a recycling program on property, which completes the e-living concept.

The six unit modular building will be built in West Knoxville, Tennessee.

Five of the units will be occupied by families, with one unit remaining vacant to be used as a model home.

They estimate the project will be completed by December 2009.
