Designed and delivered using modular construction, Estrella demonstrates how alternative building methods can accelerate housing delivery while maintaining quality and durability to address these needs in northern BC communities. Homes were constructed off-site in a controlled manufacturing environment, improving efficiency, reducing construction waste, and minimizing on-site disruption. Modular components were then transported to Prince Rupert and installed, significantly compressing the on-site construction schedule compared to traditional builds, while addressing a shortage of local available trades. This use of modular construction allowed NorthStar to build with cost and schedule certainty, directly resulting in their ability to deliver affordable housing.
