New York City is desperate to find new ways to deliver 300,000 affordable housing units by 2026. In order to reach our goal, New York City Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has launched a new pilot program, Modular NYC. They are quite simply "pushing the envelope even further to pursue bold new design and construction techniques."
But what are the extraordinary circumstances that make modular construction in NYC so difficult? Join us for an exciting dialogue with David Edelson (Turner Construction. Project manager of the world's tallest modular building), Martin Kapell (Think! Architecture + Design. Architect of mid-size modular condos in the Lower East Side), and others to learn about lessons learned, innovative solutions, and new approaches for building successful modular structures in New York City.
