Modular Builder to Construct 321 Apartment Units in Glendale

It’s going to look a lot like your standard, commercial development. But Zekelman Industries has come up with a new construction concept that takes advantage of their experience in manufacturing steel pipe and tube products. Now in its fourth generation of product design, Z Modular has developed manufacturing innovations and applies them to multi-family property development and construction. Z Modular will be introduced in Arizona at the FUZE Ballpark development in Glendale.

The company will be constructing 321-apartments, using 527 steel-framed modular units. Z-Modular’s Barry Zekelman has more, “The demand for multi-family housing continues to increase and traditional development and construction processes can’t keep up. We have created Z Modular to be more efficient, reducing risk and waste while meeting consumer demand. And though we’re seeing some adoption of newer construction technologies such as prefabrication and modular building, no one has been able to deliver a repeatable and scalable approach, until now.” The Glendale project will be the company’s 12th.
