Modular Firm Taps Infill Lot Development Opportunity: Signature Building Systems Makes Room in the Inner City

摘要

Moosic, PA—One still untapped area of opportunity ideally suited to HUD-Code or modular builders is the vacant city lot. There are thousands of them in cities across the country, standing empty and unused, and offering the opportunity to provide affordable housing convenient to jobs and metropolitan amenities. What makes these infill lots ideal for in-plant builders is that they are often in older neighborhoods or downtown areas and therefore narrow, with other buildings on either side. Surrounding streets may also be narrow and congested as well, making delivering materials a problem. The modular or HUD-Code home builder can produce the kind of quality structure to fit the dimensional confines of this kind of lot, have the units trucked in and the structure erected in a very short time - avoiding the difficulties an on-sile building crew would have to contend with, including lack of space to work, lack of space to unload or store materials, theft of materials stored on site and a shortage of skilled local labor.
