SAN FRANCISCO — Airbnb will announce that it will begin selling multiunit buildings and houses next year, according to Fast Company.
The new initiative, called Backyard, is “an endeavor to design and prototype new ways of building and sharing homes,” extending and bolstering the services of the online home-rental platform to architecture and urban planning, the report said. Backyard could start offering small existing dwellings, according to the report, and could also sell energy-efficient building materials, standalone homes and multiunit complexes.
Airbnb did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
