I agree, those actually look quite good, O-tac!

As someone on reddit succinctly put it, it looks like a man camp on an O&G site.

Modular/prefab construction has a long ways to go if the feds are expecting it to be the solution to the housing crisis.

Alt Hotel in East Village was modular prefab and it looks great. It's not the process, it's the design, if people actually put the effort into it then it can be very successful.

Quick snapshot at a red light (and one while not). Apologies for the image quality on this.

Thought it was cool seeing the units sitting on the street.

For those asking about staggered modules. The entrance, just off 6th Ave, is staggered to be under the module above it. So it was possible. Could've enabled balconies but maybe weather proofing was a fear?

The funny thing is, the red with the black and white lines is more interesting. They should leave it unfinished lol

Good enough isn't it

For affordable housing, the exterior and interiors both turned out nice.

Basic rooms, but what you'd expect for affordable housing. IMO, the exterior is better than expected, so overall a win.

(modular project)

In case you guys didn't notice It's cool they have those craned in with fully completed interiors and appliances

 

[Surrealplaces]

Oh yeah I see now. Lol I thought the units were from the building on the north side of 6th.
