Tacoma ADU Construction: Gordon T. Jacob Featured in South Sound Magazine

We’re excited to share that South Sound Magazine recently featured Gordon T. Jacob in its latest edition! The article showcases our expertise in ADU and DADU construction in the South Sound, highlighting key insights and stunning photos from our recent projects.

The Future of Housing in Tacoma

As Tacoma continues to evolve, more ADUs and DADUs are appearing throughout the South Sound. In fact, South Sound Magazine notes:

“Tacoma and other South Sound communities will soon see more ADUs, detached accessory dwelling units (DADUs), townhomes, sixplexes, courtyard apartments, and cottage housing in areas traditionally zoned for single-family homes.”

This shift presents an exciting opportunity for homeowners looking to maximize their property’s potential while contributing to the city’s housing diversity.

Expert Insights from Gordon T. Jacob

Chris Dunayski, owner of Gordon T. Jacob, specializes in middle housing solutions and has built multiple ADUs and DADUs throughout the South Sound. He explains:

“With Home in Tacoma, minimum lot size requirements will change, allowing more properties in Tacoma to qualify for a DADU. The cost of building a DADU is often lower than the value it adds to the property. Depending on the location, homeowners could see an additional $75,000 to $150,000 in equity.”

This means that, beyond increasing living space, an ADU can significantly boost property value—a key factor for homeowners considering an investment in their future.

Why ADUs and DADUs Are Gaining Popularity

More homeowners are choosing ADUs and DADUs for several compelling reasons. For instance, they provide a flexible solution for housing aging parents, generating rental income, or simply expanding livable space without moving. Additionally, as housing policies continue to adapt, these units will likely become even more accessible and financially rewarding.
