Any use of the land is better than no use, but what is the lifespan of shipping container-based housing? I could see it being much shorter than traditional housing or much longer than traditional housing.
The container shells are typically not left exposed — most serve as the structure and are clad on exterior and interior with new materials, insulation, etc. especially for use as a residential use.
There is a restaurant Santolla in Puerto Natales Chile made out of containers. Very cool and great food. Kind of harsh down there and holding up fine
Super cool. Kudos to this guy.
Development cost 5 million. 8 units would mean an average sales price of $625.000 each. At 1975 sq. ft per unit it would be a little over $316.00 per square foot. Good luck.
The $625k would be the cost. Wouldn’t the sale price be a bit higher than that to make a profit? Seems odd to expect a premium for a ‘container’ townhouse versus a custom built townhouse.
I just read that a shipping container shortage is driving transportation costs and supply shortages. Cool project, but I’m surprised these are still being used for building materials as if there are surplus shipping containers.
The thing they built on Bellafontaine is not pretty. It looks just like a stack of shipping containers.
I am pleased that this looks a little more traditional, and that the garages are accessed from the alley avoiding the suburban garage look.
Sounds and looks great. I hope this starts a trend.
A great alternative to traditional building materials and it seems to cut cost and build time.This is definitely a trend we see in other major cities and I feel Indy should keep up with GOOD TRENDS and not get left behind as Indy has so many times in the past.Indy has a habit of waiting until things has become old news elsewhere before we finally jump on cool things.people love cool hip trendy things, especially the young college generation that lives around broad ripple and college ave.excellent move on this companies part.They clearly done their homework on the city in picking a location
Very fun vibe and have seen some very cool container projects. Haven’t heard about a container shortage, just a shortage of truck drivers! Cost is “interesting”? I thought container builds were more Cost effective? They seem to be more labor intensive having to create interior shells? But using a cutting torch is a bucket list thing for some reason, might volunteer some time?!
