“With recent pain points in the construction industry, we saw an opportunity to bring developments in modular manufacturing to hospitality,” TOMU founder and president Chris Osaka said in a statement. “We’ve designed a modular system that is purpose-built for the needs of rental and hospitality use and can be delivered faster with minimal impact to any existing operations.” The units will arrive on site 95% complete.
Two months ago, Osaka shared with UrbanTurf that demand had risen so much that they needed to ramp up production. Unit deliveries will begin this fall.
