\nBut what if that could all be fixed by simply playing with some over sized Legos? Maybe it can!<\/p>\n
Solution in the works<\/h2>\n
Module and its CEO Brian Gaudio, think they have the solution. Gaudio recently spoke with The Real Daily about his company and what they bring to the housing market.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe main idea is incremental housing, it’s how the developing world works.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Gaudio directed us to a question he told us that he himself thought of asking, \u201cHow do we make housing more adaptable, more sustainable in the U.S.?\u201d<\/p>\n
Like tiny homes +<\/h2>\n
Module is very similar to tiny homes. In fact, their Co-Founder, Hallie Dumont, is a well known tiny home builder.<\/p>\n
So together Dumont and Gaudio came up with idea to make incremental housing possible in the US.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cWe’ve developed a technology allowing you to add vertically or horizontally with our patent pending wall system. We’ve built a full-scale mockup in a warehouse and will be delivering our first unit in spring 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n
Current market trends<\/h2>\n
Gaudio discussed the current housing market situation and noted that they’ve created a more sustainable version of the American dream. They noticed a massive gap in the market with the rental market climbing and homeownership levels at all-time lows.<\/p>\n
Gaudio goes on to inform that \u201cModule is headquartered in Pittsburgh [and we’re first focused on] the Rust Belt; cities that were manufacturing centers, but with the fall of manufacturing, have become ghost towns.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Google has had a presence in Pittsburgh for the last 10 years, so there is a substantial amount of younger people with one of the fastest growing millennial populations. Gaudio states that \u201cPittsburgh is a great place to start with more affordable vacant properties.\u201d<\/p>\n
Module is making moves<\/h2>\n
Module was a finalist at the SXSW 2017 Accelerator Pitch competition (300 people, 2 minutes and 7 min Q&A).<\/p>\n
They are partnered with Pittsburgh\u2019s Urban Redevelopment Authority as well as being actively involved in Pittsburgh\u2019s Affordable Housing Initiative.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
They have 3 starter units but with the wall system, the addition options are endless!<\/p>\n
The future<\/h2>\n
Gaudio has big ideas and big goals.<\/p>\n
First time buyers are the core focus but with the way they have structured their company, Module and it\u2019s abilities seem endless.<\/p>\n
