Icon Technology Inc. is bringing five of its 3D-printed homes to a new luxury resort neighborhood on the shores of the Colorado River.

The homes will be built in The Canyon Club community, a 60-acre project being built north of Spicewood at 122 Shoreline Road, according to an announcement. In addition to Icon’s homes, 20 traditionally built homes are planned for the project as well.

The Canyon Club is being developed by Prasso Ventures, which has been behind luxury neighborhoods in Arizona, Colorado and Washington.

The Icon homes will be available for fractional purchase starting in the low-$400,000 range per share. Shared ownership of the homes includes one-eighth of the property, six weeks of annual usage and year-round membership benefits, along with the ability to trade weeks or generate income through a vacation rental program in partnership with Inspirato, Book Above and ThirdHome.

Icon's homes, which are 3D-printed with a cementitious material called CarbonX, come with a variety of benefits, according to the company. They're rated to withstand 250-mph winds and also can withstand fires for nearly three hours. The printed walls help reduce temperature fluctuations during summer and winter, and the homes can be built much quicker than traditional builds.

The remaining 20 homes in The Canyon Club will start at $2.6 million. The traditionally built homes will have four- and five-bedroom floor plans.

Sales at The Canyon Club launch in May, according to the development’s website.

Other project partners at The Canyon Club include Daybreak Hospitality Group, creators of Austin’s Paperboy and Loudmouth restaurants, interior design studio Kempt Studio and Mark Richardson Architects.

Icon’s homes have been cropping up throughout the metro in recent years.

“We’re now underway on our third project with Community First! Village, building homes for the chronically homeless,” Icon Chief Financial Officer Tom vonReichbauer told the Austin Business Journal last month. “We’ve built classic middle-market homes in Wolf Ranch up in Georgetown and some higher-end homes down in Wimberly more recently. We think the technology is a great solution across the full spectrum of housing.”

Additionally, the company recently announced it would build several urban infill homes in East Austin’s Mueller neighborhood.
