Station 33 looks like a furniture showroom not quite ready for the floor — washer, dryer and microwave included.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From there the apartment pieces are wrapped and trucked to the construction site, where they’re assembled in a matter of days, not months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It literally becomes a plug-and-play,” said Pace. “We have become very proficient at what we do, and it will revolutionize the construction industry from what we’ve seen in the past.

He used to do what’s called “stick” construction — the conventional method, where you prep the foundation, and then wait for the carpenters, and then the plumbers, and then the electricians. A rainy week can set you back thousands of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"modular-housing\" label=\"More on modular hosuing\"]With so-called modular housing, units can be assembled offsite while the foundation is being prepared, no matter the weather. Pace says that and other efficiencies will translate into three- to five-story apartment buildings completed 40% quicker and 20% cheaper than the average project constructed the old-fashioned way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just Pace who believes modular housing is the future. Large corporations such as Citibank have poured millions into Factory OS. \u003ca href=\"https://www.bisnow.com/oakland/news/multifamily/modular-firm-rad-urban-secures-28m-in-financing-to-grow-company-93500\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Other pre-fab housing companies\u003c/a> have sprouted in recent years, attracting tech-savvy investors with the lure of innovating an industry that builds housing mostly in the same way it did decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the dream of mass-produced, factory-built housing has been around for over a century, with a pretty checkered history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went in this dragging my heels,” said Pace. “I had heard all the war stories of failed modular experiences in the past.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>When Nixon Tried to Build Houses in Factories\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Manufactured, modular, or pre-fab housing has always played at the margins of the American construction industry. Arguably the most successful example dates back to the early 20th century when the retail giant Sears offered single-family homes through its \u003ca href=\"https://www.curbed.com/2018/10/16/17984616/sears-catalog-home-kit-mail-order-prefab-housing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mail-order catalog\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After prohibitively high transportation costs caused Sears to pull the plug in 1940, the term “manufactured housing” gradually became associated with the lower rung of the housing market: mobile homes and shoddy factory-built dwellings with poor craftsmanship and small profit margins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The last century of experiments hasn’t yielded a whole lot of good results,” said Alex Anderson, associate professor of architecture at the University of Washington. “There’s been all kinds of interesting experiments, but not a whole lot of economic successes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the siren song of mass-produced housing continued to lure private capital and public officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvhsYm1b4DY]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1969, President Richard Nixon was confronting housing challenges that might sound eerily familiar to 21st century Californians: Population growth was outstripping new home construction, and rents and home prices were escalating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing and Urban Development Secretary George Romney — future GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s father — launched “Project Breakthrough” in 1969, aiming to solve the country’s housing shortage by jumpstarting the pre-fab industry with a little help from Uncle Sam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress poured $190 million in inflation-adjusted dollars to coax major blue-chip manufacturers such as Alcoa and Boeing into participating. HUD identified nine sites across the country, including one in Sacramento, on which both single family and multifamily pre-fabricated housing could be assembled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Uninspiring Results\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Operation Breakthrough was really a big and pretty expensive failure and really quite an embarrassment for the Nixon administration,” said Anderson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the housing ended up being uninhabitable after a few years, adding to the public perception that factory-built housing was at best shabby, and at worst dangerous. Congress pulled the plug shortly after the prototype sites were completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The technology deployed by Factory OS and other modern pre-fab companies is leaps and bounds ahead of what Operation Breakthrough was working with in the early 1970s. But Anderson says many of the issues that confounded the Nixon administration still haunt the industry today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organized construction labor opposed Operation Breakthrough, fearing lower wages and reduced hours. Factory OS, while employing members of a regional carpenters union, has faced similar hostility from other building unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Operation Breakthrough also failed to achieve the economies of scale the federal government dreamed would materialize. Anderson says the finances of mass-produced housing work only if it is truly mass-produced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jessica Goldbach, project manager Factory OS's West Oakland project\"]‘I think what’s different about this is we can make a whole building erect in 10 days.’[/pullquote]“You need to produce a lot of units in order for the savings to accrue,” said Anderon. “Because setting up a factory is not cheap.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Factory OS isn’t profitable yet, but co-founding partner Rick Holliday predicts the company to turn the corner in the next two years.

Arguably the most successful example dates back to the early 20th century when the retail giant Sears offered single-family homes through its \u003ca href=\"https://www.curbed.com/2018/10/16/17984616/sears-catalog-home-kit-mail-order-prefab-housing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mail-order catalog\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After prohibitively high transportation costs caused Sears to pull the plug in 1940, the term “manufactured housing” gradually became associated with the lower rung of the housing market: mobile homes and shoddy factory-built dwellings with poor craftsmanship and small profit margins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The last century of experiments hasn’t yielded a whole lot of good results,” said Alex Anderson, associate professor of architecture at the University of Washington. “There’s been all kinds of interesting experiments, but not a whole lot of economic successes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the siren song of mass-produced housing continued to lure private capital and public officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/CvhsYm1b4DY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/CvhsYm1b4DY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1969, President Richard Nixon was confronting housing challenges that might sound eerily familiar to 21st century Californians: Population growth was outstripping new home construction, and rents and home prices were escalating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing and Urban Development Secretary George Romney — future GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s father — launched “Project Breakthrough” in 1969, aiming to solve the country’s housing shortage by jumpstarting the pre-fab industry with a little help from Uncle Sam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress poured $190 million in inflation-adjusted dollars to coax major blue-chip manufacturers such as Alcoa and Boeing into participating.
