# Sustainable Living Innovations

> Sustainable Living Innovations is a Seattle building-technology company that turns multifamily buildings into a repeatable kit of factory-made wall and floor panels, preloaded with plumbing, wiring, mechanical, fire-safety and network systems. Its pitch is unusually concrete: shorter site schedules, less waste and all-electric, high-performance housing. Its record is concrete, too - three completed Seattle projects totaling 260 apartments - but the delayed, lien-hit 3zero3 tower shows why industrializing construction requires more than an elegant panel.

- **Founded:** 2008
- **Headquarters:** Seattle, United States
- **Founders:** Arlan Collins (Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO), Mark Woerman (Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** Current headcount is not confirmed. The supplied dataset lists 15 employees; SLI reported more than 80 employees in March 2022, while LinkedIn currently places it in the 51-200 range. A 2024 investor report said corporate expenses had been reduced significantly.
- **Products:** Panelized Building System, V6/V7 Load-Bearing Panel System, SLI Digital Twin, SLI Configurator, SLI Track
- **Notable:** Completed three Seattle buildings totaling 260 apartments: 47+7, Burbridge Place and 3zero3., 47+7 won first place in the midrise category of Seattle's Urban Design People's Choice Awards, an ACEC structural-design Gold Award and NAIOP Washington's 2015 Innovation of the Year., 47+7's 136 integrated wall and floor panels provided a full-scale proof of the component-based system; the building later sold for $8.8 million.

## Products & services

- **Panelized Building System** — Patent-protected wall and floor panels manufactured off site with electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire-safety and network infrastructure pre-installed, then sequenced for rapid field assembly in multifamily buildings.
- **V6/V7 Load-Bearing Panel System** — A low- and mid-rise variant that integrates structure into load-bearing panels, reducing or eliminating separate structural steel for buildings up to roughly 80 feet; used at Burbridge Place.
- **SLI Digital Twin** — Software that combines operational and historical performance data into a digital replica for monitoring and modeling an SLI building over its lifecycle.
- **SLI Configurator** — A development-stage application intended to combine design, costing and feasibility data for faster building prototyping and ordering.
- **SLI Track** — A development-stage supply-chain tool for panel fabrication status, installation, component and warranty data.
- **SLI Connect** — A smart-building application for residents and facilities managers to monitor consumption, building performance and connected devices.

## Achievements

- Completed three Seattle buildings totaling 260 apartments: 47+7, Burbridge Place and 3zero3.
- 47+7 won first place in the midrise category of Seattle's Urban Design People's Choice Awards, an ACEC structural-design Gold Award and NAIOP Washington's 2015 Innovation of the Year.
- 47+7's 136 integrated wall and floor panels provided a full-scale proof of the component-based system; the building later sold for $8.8 million.
- 3zero3 reached temporary certificate of occupancy and began leasing 112 apartments in April 2024 after assembling 895 factory-made panels.
- Burbridge Place opened in December 2023 with 124 supportive-housing studios for formerly homeless adults living with disabilities.
- 3zero3 was named Realcomm's 2021 Most Intelligent Multifamily Building and its solar installation received APsystems' 2023 Commercial Project of the Year recognition.
- Churchill Capital said SLI's U.S. and international portfolio exceeded 170 patents issued, pending, published or allowed as of March 2023.
