New Modular Housing Model Tackles Affordable Housing Crisis In Los Angeles 

Los Angeles, Calif. — Slated to open in early 2020, Hope on Alvarado is a pioneering concept in affordable housing created by HBG Steel, KTGY Architecture + Planning, and Aedis Real Estate Group. Located in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles (166 S. Alvarado Street), the project employs advanced modular construction to transform steel modules sourced from China into a five-story, 84-unit residential building.

In Los Angeles, a Modular Home Design Evolves

On a lot of projects, developers save money by making the most of an oddly shaped lot, designing around corners to fit in extra units wherever they can.

Hope on Alvarado, designed by KTGY Architecture + Planning, is the first modular housing project in the series of Hope On developments, aiming to find sheltering solutions for the chronically homeless, in Los Angeles.

The boxes look a lot like shipping containers, but they were built brand-new in a factory about an hour outside of Shanghai.
