Exciting developments featured in today’s Gothamist article “Is modular building a fix for NY’s housing crisis? State officials hope so.”
Modular construction is gaining serious attention in New York State’s push to address its deepening housing crisis. In a recent Gothamist article, state officials announced $50 million in new funding to support the development of starter and modular homes—signaling that offsite construction is no longer fringe, but central to the future of housing.
The Logic team was especially proud to see our founder, Jason Van Nest, featured in the piece as a national voice on modular innovation. In his role as Executive Director of the Center for Offsite Construction, Van Nest emphasized that modular isn’t a silver bullet, but it is the clearest path toward scaling quality housing with speed, precision, and cost control.
The article also acknowledges past hurdles in the modular space, including slow adoption rates and lessons from early high-profile projects. But today’s modular landscape is different: driven by standardization, smarter workflows, and increased alignment between design, manufacturing, and delivery. Logic was founded to thrive in exactly this environment—where repeatable, high-impact solutions can be brought to market at scale. New York’s investment is a welcome signal that the industry—and policymakers—are aligning around what’s possible.
