The square footage of the apartments, the builder, and pictures. This is certainly not a new concept and the pictures of the units that I have seen online are clearly distinguishable as modular. I call your attention to a 91ÊÓƵ.com 10-11-07 article: Unico using modular units to build ‘iPod apartments.’ [http://www.unicoprop.com/documents/news/2007/91ÊÓƵ_10_11_07.pdf]
