HEALTHY BUILDING,
we invented it
While real estate is generally a safe investment, it typically requires long term capital commitment before seeing real returns. But what if we could change this?
What if we have the experience building something very different—healthy nontoxic homes. And what if we have the expertise and technology to take any size development from plat to move-in ready— in half the time. Turns out, we do both!

the backstory (00:30)
Change Makers,
where purpose meets profit
Innovation in real estate and construction has been stuck in neutral for decades - held back by outdated methods and lack of innovation. But not for us.
We're Jen and Rusty Stout, founders of JS2 Partners Healthy Home Builders, and husband + wife entrepreneur team. Healthy building is our world. This is what we do everyday—because years ago, Jen's house was making her sick.
We've turned an unfortunate life-altering health challenge into a thriving business model, building nontoxic homes that are free from formaldehyde, mold, chemicals, heavy metals—all the "ingredients" that come with modern day construction that no one else is addressing. We're challenging the status-quo, and our homes are literally changing the way in which people live.
Our healthy building projects have previously been limited to the Central Texas region. That is until now. New manufacturing technology has enabled us to scale what we do best, and bring our wellness-focused building into multifamily and residential development projects, in any geographic location.
We're looking for select investment partners to join us in forever changing residential real estate and multifamily living, for the better.
We're excited you're here!
Now let's dig in to the tasty details...
Impactful Investing,
Wellness isn't an idea or fad. Wellness is a $6.3 trillion per year industry and growing, according to Bloomberg. We're the first to bring wellness into the forefront of designing and building homes.
We wrote a book about it. We've built a cult following that's 44,000 followers and counting. We even launched our own lines of nontoxic paint, construction products, and home furnishings four years ago, through our sister company HealthierHomes.com.
The JS2 team is poised to take healthy building and design mainstream—in a way that's disrupting not only how— but also in how long it takes for houses, condos, and apartments to be built.
How is this possible? We've partnered with a manufacturing technology company that allows us to scale our healthy building model. From small SFR to large multifamily, our nontoxic construction philosophy and commitment to custom level quality is now possible in any location — and will be built 2-3x faster than the other guys.
Sound too good to be true? We thought so, too.
welcome to the future of real estate development
Pioneering the future of multi-family developments.
the why + how behind our novel approach ...
What makes JS2's approach different?
At JS2 Partners, we're pairing our nationally recognized custom building processes with new manufacturing technology. This novel offsite construction method delivers speed, precision, and consistency - without compromising quality or occupant health. Multi-family construction is completed 2 - 3 times faster than it will typically take using standard construction. Which means more profit, quicker!
How does it work?
Building and design is done in a controlled indoor environment, from start to finish. Homes, apartments and commercial projects are built in 40' sections inside of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. The typical challenges of site built construction, such as weather delays, material shortages, and fragmented trades are greatly reduced, some issues even eliminated. The end product is then assembled in just a few weeks, on location, as a permanent structure.
Is this the same as modular or pre-fab construction?
Nope. Rather, this new technology offers an unprecedented level of quality control and cuts the time it takes to build at quality custom levels, making the whole process 2-3x quicker. From single family homes, to 20 story tall steel apartment buildings, this is a game changer for residential and multifamily construction projects. Construction is underway 24-7 (yes, there are three shifts of workers at our factory). It's a smarter, more controlled way to build better housing at scale.
What is JS2's main competitive advantage?
A buyer (or renter) can look at two homes in the same location, that look and cost the same. But at the end of the day, the discerning buyer will inevitably choose the healthy place to live with no VOCs. We build a superior product that's good for people and the planet, and people want to be a part of that.
It's what gives meaning and purpose to our work as entrepreneurs. And who doesn't love a net positive impact for people and the planet?
Is anyone else doing this?
Nope. We are the world's first healthy home builders. And no one else in the USA is offering custom level quality construction that's built 2-3x faster. We are the first to market with completed projects on the ground as proof of concept.
Will this new approach to building disrupt real estate development? You bet—and we couldn't be more excited to pave the way!
Which segments will benefit most?
At JS2 Partners, we've always built profitably, and with purpose - not just to sell. By now, you know our higher standards put health and wellness first.
This new technology introduces the opportunity for scale, allowing us to bring our industry-first healthy building approach to the spaces that need it most:
>> multifamily
>> rentals
>> boutique hospitality
>> for-sale housing
Are there any constraints or limitations?
This is our favorite question! There are no constraints... rather we've found opportunity to develop safer, more sustainable standards for building. This is where our product proves to be truly different.
-
METHODS. For us, it's not just low voc. Our standard is no voc. We've removed toxic materials found in traditional construction, prefab, 3D printed, and modular — and replaced these common materials with natural, inert products. The result is beautiful custom-level quality and zero VOC living spaces.
-
SIZE. There are no size limitations either. Any size design is possible with our offsite construction method—from a small bungalow, to a 50-home SFR development, and modern apartment buildings up to 20 stories tall.
-
EXPERIENCE. The JS2 Partners team has decades of combined experience designing and building commercial and residential. From large neighborhood developments and ultra-lux custom houses, to tiny homes, to strategic real estate marketing, the JS2 team continues to do it all, very well.
What are the costs vs. returns?
For a single family custom home built off-site, costs are equivalent to standard custom level construction with significant savings realized through a 50% quicker build time.
Investor level profit potential starts at the scalable level for multifamily and development projects. Major factors include:
-
opportunity to buy and store materials in bulk
-
precision manufacturing with less waste
-
24/7 construction with no weather delays
-
trade labor is skilled and consistent
-
indoor climate controlled working environment
-
first and only zero VOC construction model
-
3x faster project completion
-
less holding costs with more upside
The end result:
more profit in less time, for all investor partners
Our Investor Model
We are not here to pitch a deal.
We're here to build something -
with the right people, the right way.
At JS2 Partners, we're looking for aligned capital - people who share our values, believe in our approach to building, and who care about more than just the IRR. This is a true social impact investment.
We lead the work as both developer and builder - which means every decision is made with the full picture in mind: budget, timeline, quality, and long-term performance. You're not investing in a middleman. You're investing alongside the team actually executing the plan.
We structure our multi-family, rentals, and build-to-sell real estate deals based on what makes sense for the project and the people involved.
Because we believe that when the people putting up the capital and the people doing the work are truly aligned, everyone wins.
