Union Crossing: A Community-Focused Modular Housing Project
The Union Crossing project demonstrates the impact of modular construction from Custom Building Systems (CBS). This development highlights CBS’s mission to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient homes while supporting affordable housing initiatives. In partnership with Southway Builders and the Episcopal Housing Corporation, CBS built nine townhomes in Westminster, Maryland, near McDaniel College. These modern homes provide moderate-income families with quality housing while revitalizing a walkable neighborhood.
Each townhouse at Union Crossing combines comfort with long-term affordability. CBS designed all units to be ENERGY STAR® certified, incorporating high-efficiency HVAC systems, on-demand hot water heaters, and other energy-saving features. These upgrades reduce utility costs, increase sustainability, and provide reliable performance that homeowners can count on.
The Union Crossing homes also emphasize smart design and community integration. Their location near schools, parks, and local services strengthens the neighborhood’s connectivity. CBS collaborated closely with partners to ensure the homes meet local needs and support urban revitalization. Homebuyers enjoy modern living spaces that complement the surrounding area while promoting a sense of community.
CBS’s approach emphasizes both speed and precision. By constructing homes in climate-controlled facilities, the company minimizes weather-related delays and ensures consistent quality. Modular construction allows simultaneous site work and factory production, accelerating timelines and providing homeowners with faster access to their new homes.
Additionally, CBS engages in rigorous quality control, using internal inspections and third-party checks to guarantee compliance with all building codes. Each module receives a seal of approval before leaving the factory. These practices, combined with a 10-year structural warranty, give homeowners confidence in their investment.
The Union Crossing case study illustrates CBS’s commitment to building thriving communities, not just houses. Through innovative modular methods, strategic partnerships, and a focus on affordability, CBS shows how modular homes can meet diverse housing needs while creating energy-efficient, durable, and attractive living spaces.
