Modern tech-enabled versions of modular housing promise a faster, more sustainable solution to housing crises, according to experts. The fact that modular housing is also made in a controlled factory environment means less waste is generated, while also resulting in more energy-efficient homes. A 2022 report from industry group Make UK Modular highlighted that 80% fewer vehicle movements were needed to development sites with modular building. In the U.K. last year, Ilke Homes collapsed, while Legal & General moved to wind down its modular housing factory. By comparison, a Make UK Modular report published last year said more than 3,000 modular homes were being built in the U.K. annually, though there was capacity to build five times that number.

Veev also promised they would be green and less expensive, thanks to its factory process. The Veev representative said "no employee was requested to do so as a policy." The Veev representative said "production lines were not idle," and design errors were inevitable because the company was still testing its product. "While the Series D money was committed, not all of it was received," the Veev representative said. "Veev and Lennar made a joint decision to stop building the Gramercy project," the Veev representative wrote.

Cloud Apartments plans to build at five sites in the Bay Area, including in San Jose and Berkeley. A 25-year venture-capital veteran just led a $3 million funding round for Cloud Apartments.
