CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. – By November, Cal Neva Lodge owners will have made a decision on which modular building company it will use for a little more than half of the Cal Neva Villas at the historic Lake Tahoe resort.
“We’re still in the process of finishing the design, so a final decision hasn’t been made on exactly which units will be modular and which will be in place,” said McWhinney Senior Vice President of Hospitality Development Jason Newcomer, who works for the developer and owner. “But approximately half we’re looking at modular and half in place … but that will be the only modular construction. It will just be for those villas. So the other construction for the rest of the project will be traditional on-site construction.”
Modular buildings are prefabricated buildings that consist of repeated sections called modules. The modules generally have universal parts that are manufactured in a factory and are constructed off-site. Then the modules are brought to the building location for assembly.
