For Developers & large scale projects
Scalable, Affordable Container Housing Solutions
Boma Properties provides container-based housing solutions designed for developers, municipalities, and organizations looking to build efficiently at scale. From workforce housing to multi-unit developments, we deliver durable, modular structures that reduce build timelines and simplify execution.

Built for Projects That Need to Scale
Traditional construction breaks down at scale—timelines extend, costs increase, and coordination becomes more complex with each added unit.
Container-based construction simplifies that process.
Boma supports developers by providing a repeatable, modular building approach that allows projects to move faster while maintaining consistency across units. Whether you're building 10 units or 100+, the process remains structured and predictable.
We support projects across:
-
Workforce and employee housing
-
Government and municipal housing initiatives
-
Emergency and disaster response housing
-
Transitional and supportive housing
-
Multi-unit residential developments
Where Container Housing Makes Sense
Container construction isn’t a replacement for every type of build but in the right applications, it solves major problems developers run into.
Faster Timelines
Units are manufactured in controlled environments and delivered ready for placement. This reduces on-site construction time and limits delays caused by weather or labor shortages.
Controlled Costs
Standardized units create more predictable pricing. Instead of managing dozens of trades over months, much of the build is completed before it reaches your site.
Scalable by Design
Each unit is part of a repeatable system. Once a layout is finalized, it can be replicated across dozens or hundreds of units without redesigning the project each time.
Reduced Site Complexity
Less on-site construction means fewer moving parts. This is especially valuable for remote locations or large developments where coordination becomes a bottleneck.
Durability at Scale
Steel structures hold up over time with less maintenance compared to traditional light-frame construction—particularly important for high-use or workforce housing environments.
Applications Across Multiple Sectors
Workforce Housing
Built for durability and repeated use, container units provide a practical solution for housing employees in remote or high-demand areas. Faster deployment helps meet immediate housing needs without long build cycles.
Government & Municipal Housing
Container systems allow for rapid deployment of housing solutions where timelines and budgets are constrained. Units can be configured to meet local requirements and scaled based on demand.
Emergency & Disaster Housing
Speed matters. Container units can be produced and deployed faster than traditional builds, providing temporary or semi-permanent housing in response to urgent situations.
Transitional Housing
For programs focused on temporary or supportive housing, container units offer a durable, low-maintenance structure that can be deployed quickly and expanded over time.
Multi-Unit Developments
From small clusters to large-scale communities, container housing allows developers to build modularly—phasing projects and scaling as needed.
Beyond Housing
In addition to residential projects, Boma supports a range of commercial container applications, allowing developers to build integrated or standalone concepts.
-
Container apartment complexes
-
Boutique hotels and hospitality projects
-
Container restaurants and ghost kitchens
-
Food trucks and mobile kitchen units
-
Retail pop-ups and vendor spaces
-
Container bars and outdoor hospitality builds
-
Branded retail and activation spaces
This flexibility allows projects to combine residential and commercial uses within the same development.
Large-Scale Project Expeienrce
Boma Properties has been involved in large-scale container developments, including projects utilizing 100+ units.
Through our work with 83 Freight, we supported the manufacturing and fabrication of container units for the apartment complex that is now known as The Byrum.
This type of project requires more than just supplying units—it involves:
-
Coordinating high-volume production
-
Maintaining consistency across hundreds of structures
-
Managing logistics and delivery sequencing
-
Supporting integration into a larger development plan
That experience directly translates into our ability to support developers executing complex, multi-phase container projects.
From Concept to Delivery
We work alongside developers to streamline the container side of the project.
-
Layout and unit configuration planning
-
Engineering coordination (as required)
-
Factory sourcing and production management
-
Quality control across unit batches
-
Logistics and delivery coordination
We act as a central point for the container scope—helping reduce fragmentation across suppliers and vendors.
