Multifamily Plans for Builders, Developers & Investors

Multifamily Design Shaped by Experience You Can Build On.
Garner Drake Residential Design offers a curated collection of duplex plans, townhouse designs, and apartment plans created for builders, developers, investors, and landowners pursuing practical residential growth.
Our multifamily plans are informed by generations of construction, development, and residential design experience. Each design considers the realities behind a successful project: unit functionality, circulation, density, market appeal, disciplined square footage, construction logic, and the long-term experience of the people who will live there.
From small-scale duplexes to townhome communities and larger apartment developments, Garner Drake provides residential plans designed to help move projects forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Designed for the Way Projects Perform
Multifamily design requires more than fitting multiple residences onto a site. It requires a thoughtful balance between resident appeal, development efficiency, buildability, and long-term usability.
Our plans are developed with attention to:
- Efficient unit layouts that make purposeful use of square footage
- Clear circulation, privacy, and livability within and between residences
- Repeatable planning strategies suited to phased or larger-scale development
- Architectural character that supports curb appeal and marketability
- Builder-conscious construction documents informed by real-world project experience
- Flexible design potential for site conditions, local requirements, and project goals
Every project is different. Our role is to provide a strong residential design foundation that can be adapted thoughtfully to the needs of your development.
Multifamily Plans for Every Scale of Development
Duplex Plans
Duplex plans offer an approachable path to multifamily development, pairing efficient land use with the familiarity and appeal of individual residences. They are well suited to smaller infill projects, rental properties, investor portfolios, and neighborhoods seeking a more attainable housing option.
Townhouse Designs
Townhome plans create a compelling middle ground between single-family living and higher-density multifamily development. Organized around efficient footprints, private entries, and flexible unit layouts, they can support a wide range of markets and development strategies.
Apartment Plans
Apartment plans are designed for projects that require thoughtful unit planning, practical building organization, and scalable residential product. Our collection includes options suited to a variety of unit mixes, architectural styles, and development contexts.
Built for Builders, Developers & Decision-Makers
Garner Drake works with the people responsible for turning a residential vision into a completed project.
Our multifamily plans are created for:
- Residential developers evaluating product, density, and market fit
- Builders and contractors seeking practical, well-organized construction drawings
- Investors pursuing rental, build-to-rent, or income-producing opportunities
- Landowners exploring the potential of a multifamily site
- Homebuilders expanding into duplex, townhome, or apartment development
Whether you are selecting a pre-designed plan, refining an existing concept, or evaluating a site-specific opportunity, we bring a practical, experienced perspective to the design process.
Modifications & Custom Multifamily Design
Every Garner Drake multifamily plan can be thoughtfully modified to better suit your project.
Adjustments may include unit mix, square footage, exterior elevations, garage or parking configurations, circulation, structural requirements, and other project-specific considerations. We also provide custom residential design services for developments requiring a tailored solution.
Before purchase, contact us to discuss your site, project goals, and the level of modification or design support needed.
Garner Drake helps developers and builders begin with a more considered, more practical residential design foundation.
