WHY GINOSKO MODULAR

With so many cost-burdened families and individuals and a market desperate for a new supply of affordable, high-quality housing, there is a clear need for a new way forward. Fulfilling that need and charting the path forward is Ginosko Modular’s mission.

The Growing Affordable Housing Crisis

The United States is facing an urgent and growing supply crisis in affordable multifamily housing. Demand for affordable housing units is outpacing supply of new affordable renter households at an alarming rate, leaving six million renters in need of an affordable housing option with limited to no options.

Unsustainable

Without other resources, MSHDA’s only plausible solution was to: Borrow 9% LIHTC’s from future years to pay for “Today’s Pandemic Related Cost Crisis”

Designed for Today’s Challenges

Ginosko Modular was created to address the needs of this under-served space and to overcome the structural challenges of today’s world: with vertically integrated optimization and efficiency to help mitigate pandemic pressures, supply chain disruptions, and industry inefficiencies. The result was a seamless and streamlined operational model and a newly constructed, custom-designed 105,000-square-foot production facility in Romulus, Michigan: where Ginosko Modular’s creations come to life.

New Facility—New Capabilities

  • Ginosko Modular’s cutting-edge manufacturing facility allows the company to control 60% of its production costs, eliminating many of the substantial markups in traditional construction supply chains.
  • Ginosko Modular’s innovative production processes will make it possible to build faster and get to market quicker, also reducing financing costs.
  • By relying on an in-house team of skilled professionals, Ginosko Modular will be able to mitigate the risks and costs associated with a growing skilled labor shortage.
  • Vertical integration resolves construction tolerances and connectivity issues, simplifying scheduling and sequencing for tighter timelines. The result is a speedier and more efficient production and assembly process ideally suited to meet the construction challenges of our time.

The Future of Affordable Multifamily

At a time when economic pressures and logistical complexities make high-quality multifamily construction arguably more challenging than ever before, Ginosko Modular is not just delivering affordable, accessible, and appealing modular housing solutions that decrease the

cost burden for renters—the company is simultaneously addressing a persistent affordable housing shortage and providing a template for success with the potential to shape the future of multifamily construction.
