CAN MODULAR CONSTRUCTION SAVE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY IN BIG CITIES?

A project in New York City was recently completed using modular construction and aptly titled “The Stack.” It went from bare ground to enclosed structure in 19… yes NINETEEN days in New York City. The development project, a JV between Jeffrey Brown and Kimberly Frank was composed of 56 modular units with 28 apartments about approx. 5,000SF of retail on the ground floor. Sounds like this may (if building codes allow in other cities) be the new wave of multi-family mixed use development.
