Modular apartments with a European twist? Greystar’s Modern Living Solutions is transforming U.S. construction by adopting Nordic-style modular methods—reducing build times by 40% and insurance costs by 25%. With factory-prepped modules and streamlined assembly, projects like Ltd. Findlay are completed 10 months faster than traditional builds. Greystar’s modular approach promises efficient and scalable workforce housing. #ModularInnovation #Greystar #NextGenHousing

Prevailing building codes that require two separate stairwells in multifamily buildings taller than three stories are stymieing development of affordable housing, according to some design and construction professionals. https://loom.ly/nNXujk4

For a wide range of reasons, sustainable construction and building features have become a vital consideration in multifamily development. Learn why below: https://lnkd.in/eHMVHSFb #proptech #smarthome #homesecurity #propertytechnology #smarthomesystem #GreenMarbles

In recent #MultifamilyRealEstate news, Greystar (the largest apartment operator in the U.S.) has launched its inaugural modular apartment community in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania. Per reporting by CRE Daily, the six-building, 312-unit development was constructed approximately 40% faster than traditional methods, utilizing a third of the usual on-site workforce and generating 90% less waste. After the success of this #RealEstateDevelopment, Greystar plans to expand its modular construction approach, with six additional projects in planned within a 600-mile radius of its manufacturing facility in Knox, Pennsylvania. Factory-built and/or modular construction has had a difficult time finding its footing in the US marketplace, but the results are starting to show great promise in reducing development timelines and material waste, both of which are huge cost-saving benefits. However, until this type of construction methodology becomes the norm, the cost savings are not likely to pass-through as a benefit to consumers more than as a profit boost to the development group(s) who are investing into this kind of production-chain. #RealEstate #Construction #CommercialRealEstate #CRE

Exciting news! After a gruelling seven looong months, we've finally got the green light for our site over in Metheringham. it’s been a real battle to get to this approval and would like to thank everyone involved. This is going to be one hell of a collaboration with LME Building Contractors . We are now just a week or two from getting a spade in the ground and we are buzzing. Watch this space in the coming weeks for all the progress. #NewBuildDevelopment #InvestmentProperty #RealEstateInvesting #PropertyDevelopment #FutureHomes #ModernLiving #InvestmentOpportunity #DreamHome #PropertyInvestment #BuildingForTheFuture

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

This is cool. Greystar will open its first modular project. Ltd. Finlay in PA has 312 apartments, the largest MF mod project in the US. It was built 40% faster, with 90% less waste and 10% cheaper. Note only a few states, including UT, have adopted the proposed industry guidelines. Thoughts? #jbrec #utah #housing https://lnkd.in/g5fV68Zi

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.
