Skender Will Roll Out Modular Units for Sterling Bay at New Facility

Skender’s modular building facility is scheduled to launch production on Tuesday. The first order for the Southwest Side facility will be 10 affordable-rate, three-flat apartment buildings from Sterling Bay.

“Our production launch is an important milestone in our radical new approach to building,” said Skender CEO Mark Skender. “By bringing design, manufacturing and construction under one brand and one integrated team, we can dramatically improve productivity and build more efficiently while increasing the quality of materials and finishes, as well as the energy performance.”

The steel-frame three-flats for Sterling Bay will be completed and ready for occupancy in nine weeks, according to Skender. The timeframe is 80% faster than conventional construction methods, the company says.

“Skender has thoughtfully addressed how to deliver affordable housing in a way that is effective and scalable, and can make a real difference across the city of Chicago,” said Sterling Bay CEO Andy Gloor.
