Atlantic Yards?where 930 modules will soon be installed to create 363 apartments?is the most high-profile prefab project in New York City, but it's not the only new building using modular construction. There are currently 17 modular projects on file with the DOB, including the city's micro-apartment building and a storm-proof house in Red Hook. The biggest project is a 1,525-unit complex in East New York. Why are developers going modular? Costs. A prefab project cuts construction costs by 20 to 30 percent. [Crain's]
