Vesta Modular

VESTA MODULAR somewhat resilient during good and bad times and we obviously found that to be true with what’s happening today. Over the last year, we’ve experienced increased growth in providing our modular buildings to customers in need across the country. Back in March, we had a couple of big projects that were going to happen this year and got postponed or delayed: one for a cruise line and another for an office building down in the southeast. As a result, we had to look for additional ways to overcome those obstacles. What ended up happening in the months from March to August, we saw a huge need for providing our temporary buildings to hospitals and medical facilities, as well as colleges and universities in the education market.” A big part of that was temporary dorms – VESTA provided hundreds of beds to various colleges across the country as they were looking to safely return students to campus under the CDC guidelines. Existing inventory was moved from California to Massachusetts, and the company built hundreds of new beds to fit the need. Hall admits, “Obviously, with modular construction we sell speed. And at a time like this when speed is critical and people need the space, we were fortunate to be able to help and really proud to be a part of the solution for maintaining the social distancing requirements.” VESTA Modular is comprised of two divisions. On the leasing side, the firm owns over 3,000 modular buildings that they lease to customers, largely for education and office space. That part of the business represents a huge growth opportunity in the coming years. The second division involves building permanent modular structures – hotels, offices, dormitories, apartment facilities. “Doing both those things is somewhat unique,” says Hall. “But one of the foundations we built VESTA on is having a temporary modular building that can be moved anywhere as the need and demand is presented.
