BUILDING DREAMS WITH THE COVENANT PROGRAM
Eleven years later, Dreamline Modular Homes was a huge success. Doug and Kris knew there was a home construction demand on Nantucket, but they were already very busy in the Boston area. A college friend who wanted to build a modular home on-island begged them to reconsider. Doug and Kris finally agreed. The first build went well, and they realized that they could incorporate construction on Nantucket into their current business operations. With increased demand, word spread fast, and on-island business continued to grow.
Doug and Kris had always dreamed of moving with their families to Nantucket full time. “We love the community feel,” said Doug. “It’s so different compared to many of the Boston suburbs that we currently build in.”
Although they had built hundreds of homes for others, neither one of them had owned a home of their own. After spending more and more time on the island, they found an opportunity to purchase a large parcel of land. Realizing how the Covenant Program could help them obtain their dream of moving to Nantucket, they were able to create four lots – a market- rate lot for each of them, and two Covenant properties they would sell to Nantucket year-round families.
“The Covenant Program truly helped make this project possible,” said Kris. “Being able to subdivide and sell to buyers in the Nantucket Housing Covenant program helped to financially make ends meet”.
“The project and program have been great,” said Doug “We are thrilled to be given this opportunity to become part of the community while also giving others the same opportunity to own a Covenant home.”
