Cleantech Prefab Builder CABN Closes Strategic Investment Round to Accelerate Production Capacity

New capital positions CABN to deliver more rapidly-built, energy-efficient homes

TORONTO, July 24, 2025 /CNW/ - CABN, a Canadian builder of prefabricated, energy-efficient homes, announced the successful closing of a strategic investment round. The new capital supports CABN's core mission to combat the housing crisis sustainably, and advances their production and operational capacity to deliver net-zero building solutions in residential and commercial markets.

The round was led by Active Impact Investments, with participation from Greensoil PropTech Ventures, Groundbreak Ventures™, Alder Capital Sustainable Ventures, and Liberty North Capital as agent. Holding a common mission to invest in sustainable housing technologies with significant growth potential, the successful raise reflects growing market confidence in CABN's vision and reinforces its position as an innovator in rapid green building.

"We're honoured and excited to have the support of Canadian investors who share our commitment to rapid, scalable, net-zero building solutions," states CABN Founder and Chief Executive Officer Jackson Wyatt. "This alignment reflects the promise of prefab innovation and its potential to meet urgent housing needs while driving meaningful progress toward climate resilience."

The new investment will fuel the next phase of innovation at CABN's 90,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility in Brockville, Ontario. Funds will support the integration of robotics and automated systems designed to accelerate the production of prefabricated homes, improving speed and precision while maintaining high quality standards.

The integration of 3D LiDAR scanning and mapping technologies will enable virtual simulations that optimize robotic functions and inventory management before implementation. Once fully operational, the facility will be capable of producing 1.66 million cubic feet of sustainable building materials, equating to 552,000 square feet of livable housing per year.

Funding will also support the development of new material sourcing and testing methods, including a patent-pending scanning technology – the first of its kind in North America – that evaluates the structural integrity of individual pieces of wood, reducing waste and strengthening the connection between sustainable forestry and high-performance construction.

"Aligning with our mission to contribute to solving the most urgent environmental issues, we're thrilled to support the rapid scaling of CABN's net-zero builds," says Mike Winterfield, Managing Partner at Active Impact Investments. "CABN's optimized production of sustainable homes pushes the needle forward on both climate and housing targets, enhancing Canada's economic resilience with durable jobs and local innovation."

According to the Real Estate Institute of Canada, modular construction offers a promising solution to the country's housing crisis, with an estimated 3.5 million additional homes needed by 2030 to restore affordability. At the same time, 61 per cent of homebuyers in the 2025 Canadian Housing and Mortgage Consumer Survey cited energy efficiency as a key factor in their purchasing decisions. With pressure mounting on both housing supply and energy performance, this investor raise comes at a critical moment: supporting forward-looking solutions that meet the evolving needs of Canadian homeowners.

Founded in 2021, CABN's approach to building design marries best-in-class construction techniques with advancements in renewable energy and assembly to delivery. With several active projects across Canada and the United States, CABN models are built in days, finished in weeks, and use only 20 per cent of the energy required by traditional homes.

CABN's pilot home, completed in just six weeks in Mallorytown, Ontario, avoided 3,393 kg of CO₂ during construction and cuts another 3,542 kg annually through off-grid solar operation. With carbon negative structures ready for rapid delivery, assembly, and net-zero performance, CABN is the choice for builders and developers who wish to build sustainably; the climate crisis calls for nothing less.
