From Demonstration to Community: Colorado's 65-Home 3D-Printed Housing Project Reveals the Path to Scaling Construction Robotics

Version 1 · 1 source

In Salida, Colorado, a 55-acre residential development is attempting to push 3D printing from single-home demonstrations to community-scale. The project has completed seven homes and plans to build over 65 3D-printed homes using RIC Robotics' system. This is not just a technology test, but a comprehensive exploration of how construction robots integrate into real communities, infrastructure, and workforce training.

  • The Cleora project in Salida, Colorado, spans 55 acres and plans to use RIC Robotics' system to build over 65 3D-printed homes, with infrastructure and seven homes completed so far.
  • Two RIC autonomous printing systems are currently on site, and True North's first model home is under construction, with its printed shell expected to be completed this month.
  • The Cleora project has established the county's first 3D-printed metro district to support infrastructure such as utilities, water treatment, commercial, and recreational facilities.

Project Progress: From Infrastructure to First Homes

According to an update from RIC Robotics on August 13, 2026, the Cleora project in Salida, Colorado, has reached a milestone: the 55-acre development site has completed infrastructure, seven homes are finished, construction on more homes has begun, and several homes have been sold. Currently, two RIC autonomous printing systems are operating on site, and True North's first model home is under construction, with its printed shell expected to be completed this month.

The project is a collaboration between developer Cleora and general contractor True North, a general contractor specializing in 3D printing, using construction robotics and 3D printing technology provided by RIC Robotics. RIC Robotics CEO Ryan Cox stated in the update that Cleora represents a significant step for 3D-printed construction from single homes and demonstration projects to community-scale.

Credibility boundary

This report is primarily based on a press release from RIC Robotics, which is a corporate self-declaration. Project progress data (such as seven homes completed, 65 planned) comes from this statement and has not been independently verified. Executive quotes cited in the article also come from the same source. Therefore, all specific figures and progress descriptions should be treated as source claims, not confirmed facts.
