Heather Zhang Shares Insights on ADU Investment at AAWEA Event

Oct 29, 2024

On October 27, 2024, Heather Zhang, founder of Yu Architecture, was invited to speak at the "Bridging Communities, Bridging Opportunities" event, co-hosted by AAWEA (Asian American Women Entrepreneurs Association), FAPACC (Asian-Pacific American Chamber of Commerce), and Montgomery County.

​

Heather shared her journey of founding an architectural design studio and provided valuable insights on how to leverage Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) policies for low-cost real estate investment and property value appreciation.

​

ADUs have gained popularity in major cities on the West Coast, as well as in Texas and Florida. In the DMV area, counties are increasingly promoting ADU development or preparing to relax restrictions. At the event, we presented a summary of ADU policies across different counties in the DMV region, along with case studies of two recent ADU projects we completed.

​

We look forward to seeing more homeowners take advantage of ADUs to maximize their property’s potential!
