The Brickless Developers Group | April 04, 2022
Brickless Developers, known for their revolutionary construction methods, has signed a contract to acquire 834 acres in Port St. Lucie County for commercial and residential use as they pursue development ambitions for a self-sufficient town. Additionally, the developers will show a 1:1 recreation of the metaverse on an augmented reality platform to accompany the physical town.
Brickless Developers envision a future metropolis that would address immediate residential market needs as Florida's housing demand reaches unprecedented levels. The 834-acre concept encompasses 733 acres of residential development and 101 acres of commercial development in St. Lucie. There are 2,600 units in all, including single-family residences, townhomes, multi-family structures, commercial areas, municipal facilities, and fire and gas stations. Construction on the physical form is scheduled to commence in 2023.
"We are not only building to fill a significant demand for housing, but also for evolving societal and technological needs, Due to the unstable lifestyle that the whole world has experienced during the past few years and the uncertain future, Brickless is pushing the boundaries with the creation of a community that is safe and shielded from external events such as COVID which brought us to unexpected lockdowns. We've all been on the receiving end of the supply-chain shortages, climate change, a global pandemic and more. Now, we're designing a community that is truly future-ready in every dimension. We are redefining the process of purchasing a home, Brickless is creating the possibility for customers to create their own community according to their needs and passions."
-Nelson Delgado, founder of Brickless Developers.
Users can browse the masterplan's digital reproduction, select desirable land parcels, engage with neighbors, and contribute to the design of their own homes and communal spaces, all of which will be reproduced in the physical development in Port St. Lucie. This novel strategy provides investors with a dynamic stake in the project and the opportunity to contribute to the town's conceptualization, creating a pattern for future communities.
Brickless Developer's unique technique utilizes aluminum formwork and 100% monolithic concrete shells, enabling them to accelerate construction and estimate completion in three years drastically. Solar farms, modular organic farms, and self-farming agriculture are all part of the town's sustainable masterplan, as are intelligent design, high-tech buildings, and smart residences equipped with wellness features such as filtered water, cleaned air, and home offices. Beyond the conventional life, work, and play destinations, this community is created to embrace a concept of power, feed, and flourish.
Port St. Lucie County has already approved the actual 834-acre project. Brickless Developers will establish a crowdfunding platform in the following weeks, allowing certified investors to contribute as little as $25,000 to $500,000.

Autodesk | September 23, 2020
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced it has launched a new model coordination workflow between two of its flagship products, Navisworks and BIM 360 Model Coordination, both of which are widely used by architects, engineers and construction teams. The new integration further strengthens Autodesk Construction Cloud by enabling construction teams to manage the entire model coordination workflow including clash detection and issues management in a common data environment from within a single solution. Customers can now take advantage of both Navisworks and BIM 360 Model Coordination's best-in-class capabilities to improve the quality of construction documents, save time, decrease schedule risk and reduce rework. Before a construction project breaks ground, Navisworks empowers general contractors to identify and resolve clash and constructability issues, and BIM 360 Model Coordination enables design and trade partners to create, track and self-check issues that arise during the model coordination process. Now, users can automate clash detection in BIM 360 Model Coordination, as well as create and assign issues from either Navisworks or BIM 360. This new workflow enhances existing coordination workflows for Navisworks users and empowers BIM 360 Model Coordination users to do more specific clash detection and analysis in Navisworks.
