How we set a five-story modular apartment Building in just 10 days
At 62nd & Broadway in South Los Angeles, Model/Z is proving what’s possible when modular housing meets precision engineering.
In just 10 days, our team completed the structural set of a five-story, 66-unit building.That’s right; what usually takes 8–10 months was finished in less than two weeks.
The Build by the Numbers:
70 total modules installed (66 residential + 4 utility/common areas)
Set time cut nearly in half — from 42 minutes down to just 22
420 sq ft standardized chassis
Each unit arrived from our Watts factory move-in ready, with flooring, windows, appliances, paint, plumbing, and electrical already installed. Only the exterior, roofing, and utility connections remain before residents can call this building home. The real game-changer?
Our standardized 420 sq ft chassis means projects like this can now reach Certificate of Occupancy in under six months, slashing costs and making affordable housing faster and more feasible for developers.
