Upcycling shipping containers to use in the next generation of multi-family development in an up and coming and innovative new design slated for the Kansas City Metro has several key advantages:

​

 

Cost-effective: Shipping containers are relative inexpensive compared to traditional building materials, and can be a more affordable option for constructing apartment homes.

​

 

Durable: Shipping containers are designed to withstand the rigors of transportation and storage, making them suitable for use as a housing structure.

​

Quick construction: Shipping containers are pre-fabricated and can be delivered to a building site ready to be assembled. This can lead to faster construction times compared to traditional building methods.

​

 

Eco-friendly: Building with shipping containers can be an environmentally friendly option as it involves repurposing existing materials rather than using new resources.

​

 

Flexibility: Shipping containers can be combined and stacked in various ways to create unique and customizable apartment designs.

​

 

Portability: Shipping container homes can be easily disassembled and moved to another location if necessary.
