The Morris Park neighborhood project plans to remove the current structure at 5633 34th Ave S.,  a single-family home owned and operated by the MPHA. They will build a 3 story, ~9,800 SF – 6 unit affordable housing development. The project will start in late 2022. This 3 story, 6-plex is located mid-block on the east side of 34th Ave S. The design and construction of this development is unique in that it features modular construction which greatly reduces the construction schedule, is more inherently sustainable, and has cost-saving benefits that you do not see in traditional construction projects.

The 6-plex buildings will consist of (9) 15’-8” x 72’-0” modules. The plan flexes in this iteration to allow 2 exterior resident storage spaces at the rear, (2) two-bedroom (Accessible) units on grade, and (4) three-bedroom units on the levels above. Slight but impactful variations in the massing add interest to the building, and color variations based on neighborhood context will provide even more variety while the interior of the buildings remains the same.

Energy efficient exterior walls with continuous insulation, quality windows and high STC ratings courtesy of the modular construction methodology will give the residents a comfortable living experience and a durable high-quality building for MPHA’s housing needs.
