The Jarrett Street Condo Project
The Jarrett Street Condo project from Blazer Industries is a three-story, 12 unit condominium building located in Portland, Oregon. Designed by award winning Portland based architect Brian Cavanaugh, this project has units ranging from 387 to 556 sq ft, and is located along a mass transit line for ease of transport within the city.
Each unit features large windows to maximize natural daylight in the living spaces. Due to the nature of modular design, each living space has the ceiling framed separate from the next level’s floor framing which helps minimize occupant noise vertically. Other specifications included Quartz solid surface kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances, engineered wood flooring, subway tile, and smooth gypsum wall and ceiling cover. The simple color scheme of the exterior cladding makes this project a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The micro living spaces fill the need comfortably in an area faced with a housing crisis.

Building the Future of Modular Edge Infrastructure
The edge data center market is expanding rapidly, driven by the surge in AI workloads, IoT adoption, and the need for localized compute power. In these environments, sustainability, scalability, and reliability are non-negotiable. Cooling is among the most complex challenges for operators—and one of the most decisive factors in long-term success.
Accelerating Light-Gauge Steel Construction: A Semi-Automated Digital Workflow for Off-Site Projects
For construction professionals, the message is clear. By adopting semi-automation and digitalization, companies can deliver projects faster, more accurately, and more profitably, while also building stronger collaboration across teams. The approach is not about replacing people with machines, but about empowering people with better tools and processes.
Why Modular Data Centers Are Gaining Momentum
Artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and edge applications push the limits of traditional “stick-built” data centers. They take years build, often struggle with high density workloads, and aren’t optimized for deployments near end users. Modular data center platforms are purpose-built to address these challenges, offering flexibility and scalability to adapt to evolving technologies, while opening new opportunities for the modular construction industry.
