Connect Homes are named simply according to the number of modules they contain. The smallest model, the 460-square-foot Connect 1, starts at a base price of $260,000 installed, while the 3,200-square-foot Connect 10 runs just over $1M. Their new Pro Series is lower cost, with the 640-square-foot Pro 2 starting at $208,500 installed.
