Lately | Santa Monica is Rethinking How We Build Housing
Santa Monica just opened Berkeley Station, its first ever modular affordable housing development, and it is worth paying attention to. The 13-unit building for low-income families and young adults was constructed using prefabricated units assembled off-site and installed in just a matter of days, a method California is actively promoting to speed up housing production and reduce costs amid the state's ongoing housing crisis.
"Berkeley Station includes shared amenities such as a community garden, laundry facilities and common areas. The building is all-electric and incorporates energy-efficient features, according to project partners."
