Greystar recently opened its first U.S. modular project, a 6-building, 312-apartment complex located in Coraopolis, PA. The project was completed 40% faster than Greystar’s traditional projects, used 90% less materials, and resulted in cost savings of 10%. It’s no wonder why the country’s largest multifamily owner has six additional modular projects in the pipeline. Further, as the number of tradesmen in the US continues to decrease year over year, modular buildings may partially solve this workforce issue. https://lnkd.in/eGEBehrb

Another great example of the wins captured through strategic investments in alternative building methods. This 312 unit apartment six building complex was roughly 10% cheaper for Greystar to build relative to a traditional multifamily project delivered in nearby #Pittsburgh and was built roughly 40% faster than their traditional projects. The on-site construction required one-third of the company’s standard workforce and generated 90% less waste.

The nation's largest apartment operator is betting on modular housing. On Monday, Greystar Real Estate Partners debuted a 312-unit modular apartment complex near Pittsburgh — the first of a half-dozen planned developments. Modular homes are put together in a factory and stacked on top of each other on-site, making them faster and more cost-effective than traditional builds. Proponents say modular housing could be a neat solution to America's dwindling construction workforce and rising costs. Though some obstacles remain, the annual market share of modular construction more than tripled between 2015 and 2023, per one trade group.

Greystar will open its first U.S. modular project, a six-building apartment complex in Pennsylvania, and is building six more. Modular housing development has long been a fringe part of the U.S. market, primarily limited to lower-budget or emergency housing. Now, the country’s largest apartment operator is trying to change that.

"Greystar built Ltd. Findlay about 40% faster than its traditional apartment complexes, Andy Mest, managing director of Greystar’s modular business, told the WSJ. The on-site construction of the modules used a third of the usual workforce and generated 90% less waste. The project was also 10% cheaper than the construction of a traditional multifamily project in Pittsburgh." It's great to see Greystar pushing forward innovation in the construction industry. Modular construction solves many problems facing developers but it still has regulatory and funding hurdles to overcome. https://lnkd.in/gDUZ4TuS
