June 8, 2026 – “How disaster recovery pros are designing ADUs that support every kind of household”

The designs prioritized universality and accessibility, using Unit Two’s database of common lot configurations to select two floor plans that the firm believed would fit a broad range of single-family yards now eligible for ADU development. The designs are also fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act by default and are geared toward meeting the needs of homeowners with a variety of needs.

Like Fisher, Glasgow also worked with disaster victims. As we spoke, the architect was driving through Thousand Oaks, California, returning from the site of a post-wildfire reconstruction project. There, he watched seven factory-built modules for a three-bedroom home get lifted into place, the end stages of a project in which mass-built housing components helped victims of the Pasadena wildfire rebuild.

“They should be occupied by August,” Glasgow said.

Queens-based Unit Two Development has had two plans for backyard ADUs pre-approved so far, a studio and a one bedroom. Since the library went live in March, Fisher said they’ve seen an uptick in interest.

“We’re getting quite a lot of calls,” Fisher said, although he expects ADUs will take some time to really take off.

“People need to see one of their neighbors doing this, they need to see one of these jobs get completed to be comfortable,” he said. The early adopters “are going to inspire quite a lot of people.”

December 30, 2025 – Unit Two Development “is a "one-stop shop" that can guide those interested in adding an ADU and set up homeowners with architects or engineers, contractors, surveyors, permits, licenses, and all else that is needed.”

December 30, 2025 – Wil Fisher has spent the last year preparing for this. The former city government employee founded a Queens-based firm, Unit Two Development, that helps homeowners determine whether their property is eligible for an ADU and connects them with contractors and others who can help them build one. Fisher said he and his team have identified well over 100,000 eligible individual properties, and they've talked with more than 100 of these homeowners, who largely live in Queens and Staten Island.

August 21, 2025 – Wil Fisher, a veteran of city government under former Mayor Bill de Blasio, is among those helping lead the charge into ADU-centered real estate with his recently founded company, Unit Two Development. Launched earlier this month, the firm aims to guide city homeowners through the complex process of building a new unit on their property. Fisher started reaching out to eligible homeowners back in April and has spoken with dozens since then, according to the company.

August 14, 2025 – Wil Fisher, an NYCEDC and de Blasio admin alum… has started Unit Two Development, a company focused on new accessory dwelling units following the passage of “City of Yes” zoning reforms.

August 13, 2025 – Unit Two Development, a new accessory dwelling unit (ADU) development company, today announced its launch to help a growing number of New York City homeowners build modest housing units in their garages, backyards, basements, and attics. The launch follows last year’s passage of the “City of Yes for Housing Opportunity” zoning reform – which legalized the construction of ADUs across New York City – and rules recently released by the New York City Department of Buildings and Department of Environmental Protection… 

August 11, 2025 – Unit Two Development filed comments regarding the NYC Department of Buildings’ proposed rules on accessory dwelling units.

Our comments reflected priorities such as: (1) ensuring that homes held in trusts or other estate-planning entities can meet the definition of owner occupancy and (2) allowing for safe and efficient access to units on oddly shaped tax lots.

July 14, 2025 – Unit Two Development was quoted in an article in The City, discussing the rollout timeline for ADU regulations.

Wil Fisher, founding principal of Unit Two Development, a firm that helps homeowners navigate the ADU process, said he’s spoken with dozens of people who want to build ADUs on their properties or convert existing spaces — like garages — into livable quarters, even if they can’t quite yet move forward.

“People are excited. It’s really a game-changer,” Fisher said. “There are layers to this process and the administrative roll-out is key to making sure it’s a success and we actually deliver these units.”

June 27, 2025 – Unit Two Development filed comments to New York City’s proposed rule on an Interim Flood Risk Area Map, which would affect the places in which ADUs can be constructed.

Unit Two Development supports the City’s efforts to protect life and safety in the face of accelerating climate volatility, including increased rainfall and urban flooding. However, the proposed rule is overly restrictive in ways that limit the development of backyard ADUs without materially advancing public safety.
