AluHouse Group, a Hong Kong-based modular manufacturer, made its North American debut from April 20-23 at the Modular Building Institute (MBI)’s 2026 World of Modular held in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the company presented a seven-story steel modular multifamily project that is now moving toward delivery in the U.S.
As the only modular building manufacturer from Asia specializing in mid- to high-rise modular construction to exhibit at 2026 World of Modular, AluHouse placed at the center of its exhibition a physical model and technical display of a multifamily project based in California. Designed and manufactured fully in line with the U.S. national and state-level building codes, the project has already cleared mock-up module inspection and is transitioning into mass production. The modules, measuring 50 feet in length and 15 feet in width, reach a prefabrication level of over 95%, showcasing how modern building construction is moving complexity off-site while enhancing precision, accelerating delivery, and ensuring reliable performance.
“The showcase is a defining step for us,” said Eric Kwong, founder and chairman of AluHouse Group. “Our entry into the U.S. market goes beyond business expansion. It’s about proving that modular construction, when executed to the highest standards, can meaningfully address housing shortages across the U.S. and Canada with speed, quality, affordable [sic] and consistency, particularly at a time when a structural shift in trade and labor policies are driving up the materials and labor costs. We are building long-term partnerships here with both local and global expertise, not just delivering projects as a supplier.
“This debut also represents a major step forward in bringing Hong Kong’s innovative Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) technology to the global market,” he added. “The development of the MiC sector in Hong Kong has been supported by consistent policy initiatives and industry guidance from the Hong Kong SAR Government, which has enabled the technology to achieve significant maturity and scale within the global modular industry.”
The seven-story steel modular multifamily project on display at AluHouse’s booth consisted of 36 modules designed and engineered in full compliance with the regional building standards, with all structural, MEP and finishing work fully integrated within the factory. Following the prototype inspection and approval, the project has moved into mass production, with the modules now being prepared for delivery to the U.S.
“Meeting North American standards on our first major project required absolute alignment across design, engineering and manufacturing,” said Paul Law, director of AluHouse. “The successful design and manufacturing of this project proves our ability to achieve that synergy. With a dedicated local team now in place, we are ready to support developers and owners on projects that demand both speed and certainty.”
AluHouse is one of the largest modular construction manufacturers in the world and among the few operating globally across steel, concrete and aluminum modular systems, with proven experience in high-rise construction exceeding 40 stories. This includes a landmark social housing project previously delivered in Hong Kong, which comprised nearly 16,000 modules in a high‑rise steel structure and was recognized as one of the world’s largest of its kind. Its production network, anchored by two major facilities in China’s Greater Bay Area and Saudi Arabia, delivers a combined annual capacity of up to 78,000 modules, providing the scale required to execute large, complex projects with speed and precision.
To date, AluHouse has completed more than 200 projects worldwide, delivering over 27,000 modules across Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East and Greater China, with North America now emerging as the next frontier as its first U.S. project moves into production. Its vertically integrated supply chain spans steel fabrication, concrete production, aluminum extrusion, mold systems, aluminum windows and curtain wall manufacturing, and full module assembly, shortening lead times, ensuring consistency and strengthening cost control, all supported by proprietary digital systems that connect design, production and delivery into a single workflow.
