Rental units in New
York City ’s first modular housing development are now
leasing.
Units at the Stack, a seven-story housing development at
4857 Broadway in Manhattan ’s
Inwood neighborhood, include studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. The
Stack was developed by Jeffrey Brown and Kimberly Frank and designed by GLUCK+.
Rental prices start at $1,750.
The building, which is about 38,000 square feet, was
constructed by Deluxe Building Systems in Pennsylvania
and then shipped to New York
as 56 separate modules. The foundations
and concrete first floor of the building were the only parts built on site.
After the modules were stacked, the mechanical system was connected and an
exterior facade was placed on property.
Some units have washers, dryers and outdoor space. All
apartments include tenant-controlled heat, air conditioning and aluminum
windows. Additional amenities include a virtual doorman, private tenant
storage, bicycle storage, an on-site laundry room and a common outdoor
landscaped terrace.
Builders and developers are intrigued with modular
construction and its application on a multitude of new projects in NYC. Modular
construction is innovative and the completed building provides a well-designed,
efficiently built, modern structure incorporating 28 beautiful, comfortable,
light-filled homes.”
