A key feature of the design of this build is its greater range of accessibility and mobility options paired with the integrated family-sized living spaces and in-unit amenities. VBC was also responsible for furnishing all 47 units. Balancing initial cost and long-term maintenance was a large priority when choosing which materials would be used on both the interior and exterior of the build; VBC was able to accurately predict these costs by using a three-dimensional model for cost analysis. ## Timeline ![](https://www.vbc.co/hubfs/theme-2025/month.svg) 9 Months Total Construction Time ![days](https://www.vbc.co/hubfs/theme-2025/days.svg) 7 Days Module Set Time ![finished](https://www.vbc.co/hubfs/theme-2025/finished.svg) 8 Months Estimated Time Saved vs. Traditional Construction ## Building Specs: - **Number of Units:** 47 - **Square Footage:** 34,936 SF | 3,246 M2 - **Asset Class:** Affordable Housing - **Total Project Levels:** 3 - **Total Modular Levels** 3 ## Project Team: - **Developer:** VBC Giving Foundation - **Architect of Record:** VBC - **Modular Installer:** VBC - **General Contractor:** VBC ✕ ✕ ![53644892053_a59ad20181_k (1)](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/53644892053_a59ad20181_k%20(1).jpg?width=2048&height=1368&name=53644892053_a59ad20181_k%20(1).jpg) ![53645017159_6a96a367a8_k (1)](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/53645017159_6a96a367a8_k%20(1).jpg?width=2048&height=1366&name=53645017159_6a96a367a8_k%20(1).jpg) ![vet village](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/vet%20village.png?width=1297&height=726&name=vet%20village.png) ![53644678776_f9ac8a9cd2_k](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/53644678776_f9ac8a9cd2_k.jpg?width=2047&height=1366&name=53644678776_f9ac8a9cd2_k.jpg) ## Photo Gallery ![Image 3](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/veterans%20village/B.%20Photo%20Gallery/Image%203.jpg?width=5915&height=3962&name=Image%203.jpg) ![Image 4](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/veterans%20village/B.%20Photo%20Gallery/Image%204.jpg?width=5956&height=3970&name=Image%204.jpg) ![Image 2](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/veterans%20village/B.%20Photo%20Gallery/Image%202.jpg?width=5374&height=3617&name=Image%202.jpg) ![Image 1](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/veterans%20village/B.%20Photo%20Gallery/Image%201.jpg?width=5681&height=3791&name=Image%201.jpg) ![53645017064_a82909c935_k](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/53645017064_a82909c935_k.jpg?width=2048&height=1367&name=53645017064_a82909c935_k.jpg) ![53645017159_6a96a367a8_k (1)](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/53645017159_6a96a367a8_k%20(1).jpg?width=2048&height=1366&name=53645017159_6a96a367a8_k%20(1).jpg) ![53644678776_f9ac8a9cd2_k](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/53644678776_f9ac8a9cd2_k.jpg?width=2047&height=1366&name=53644678776_f9ac8a9cd2_k.jpg) ![VBC_Veterans Village_Completed_Exteriors-2 (1)](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/VBC_Veterans%20Village_Completed_Exteriors-2%20(1).jpg?width=4196&height=2803&name=VBC_Veterans%20Village_Completed_Exteriors-2%20(1).jpg) ![53644678431_79c663121d_k](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/53644678431_79c663121d_k.jpg?width=2048&height=1368&name=53644678431_79c663121d_k.jpg) ![53643800752_bb238d2295_k](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/53643800752_bb238d2295_k.jpg?width=2048&height=1362&name=53643800752_bb238d2295_k.jpg) ![53644892053_a59ad20181_k (1)](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/53644892053_a59ad20181_k%20(1).jpg?width=2048&height=1368&name=53644892053_a59ad20181_k%20(1).jpg) ## Video & Image Gallery Your browser does not support the video tag. ![VBCGF_Veterans Village_Grand Opening_Apr2023-58](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/VBCGF_Veterans%20Village_Grand%20Opening_Apr2023-58.jpg?width=4240&height=2832&name=VBCGF_Veterans%20Village_Grand%20Opening_Apr2023-58.jpg) ![VBCGF_Veterans Village_Grand Opening_Apr2023-24](https://www.vbc.co/hs-fs/hubfs/VBCGF_Veterans%20Village_Grand%20Opening_Apr2023-24.jpg?width=4240&height=2832&name=VBCGF_Veterans%20Village_Grand%20Opening_Apr2023-24.jpg) ## Project Location ![Diana Spain Testimonial Image](https://www.vbc.co/hubfs/veterans%20village/E.%20Testimonial%20Image/Diana%20Spain%20Testimonial%20Image.png) ## It's not traditional affordable housing.   #### It's being built at a market grade with ample-size apartments and finishes that present to people a respectable place for them to be proud to call home.
