The Lansing (Mich.) City Council has approved plans for developer Harry Hepler to build 200 modular apartments on the city’s northside, as lansingstatejournal.com informs MHProNews. Summit Street Development LLC has received a conditional use permit to build housing on the property that is zoned heavy industrial. Mr. Hepler says Metro Flats will feature telephone-controlled appliances and changeable furnishing configurations. While modular building is increasing in multifamily applications, sales of HUD-Code single-family homes far outnumber modular. ##
