When the apartment building at 153 Grand Avenue burned down last winter, some people were concerned because the owner decided to rebuild using modular, or prefab, construction.
Fortunately, Phinney Design Group and Saratoga Modular were the two companies that were contracted to build the three unit replacement structure, which was brought in by trucks in 6 pieces. From the comments I read on both the Saratogian article and the Times Union's Saratoga Seen blog, those are two class act companies that will do an excellent job, and the pictures below show that fact and the house seems to be a nice addition to the neighborhood.
For those looking for perfection, please realize that in other cities, when buildings burn down the burned out structure often remains or at best there is a vacant lot. In Saratoga builders quickly rebuild and that is something we should be appreciative of.
