S2A Modular says it has an aggressive growth plan in Florida. But its public approach to striking a deal is unconventional.

S2A Modular, creator of the first electrically self-sustaining and smart-connected luxury residences and commercial buildings, has launched a concentrated search in Florida for a location to build its third MegaFactory.

From solar panel-charged designer homes to full communities, world-class hotels to lower income housing, the S2A Modular hopes to usher in a new era of building and living that eliminates energy bills and speeds up construction, among other things.

A typical S²A factory has two production buildings, two supply buildings and a showroom. Model homes flank a courtyard facing the showroom.

A technology company expects to hire 250 workers to run new Patterson facilities scheduled to open by the end of this year.

The full-time openings will include construction, sales, engineering and architecture jobs, said John Rowland, President and Co-founder of S²A Modular, a sustainable building company.

S²A Modular plans to begin construction in July, Rowland said, creating a Patterson manufacturing factory where workers will build high-tech single family homes, apartments and hotels. The site plans shows the company will take up 1.15 million square feet along Park Center Drive, directly across the street from the Amazon Fulfillment Center.

During the next two months, S²A Modular plans to close on land to build a $25 million Valley facility along with factories in several other metros, including Seattle, Denver, Dallas and Washington, D.C., said Brian Kuzdas, CEO and co-founder of S²A Modular.

The Palo Alto, California-based company already has plans for two factories in its home state, in Patterson and Hemet, but the company has enough business to open more, Kuzdas said. Each factory has the capacity to build 2,000 units per year, whether they be hotel rooms, apartment units or modular homes.

Kuzdas said the company mapped out locations around the U.S. and into Canada and shortlisted Arizona because there were already many customers from the Phoenix area. However, the 2021 factories are only the first wave of the expansion, by 2023 the firm plans to have 35 locations.

Each factory will employ about 250 people, Kuzdas said. While the firm’s own factories are not built yet, the company has about 30 factory partners that can manufacture its products if its clients are ready to move ahead with building before S²A’s factories are operational. The firm has about 600 units in various stages of permitting.

The factories will include five buildings, including manufacturing buildings with two factory lines, an office and showroom to showcase the firm’s various products, which range from a small accessory dwelling unit to a luxury home.
