In Seattle, a wood-frame apartment building with parking costs $130,000 a unit. It also takes an interminable 36 to 40 months for design and construction. Next week, a company called Sustainable Living Innovations (SLI) will introduce the new future of the urban built environment: The prefab skyscraper. SLI’s building costs the same — but it can be designed in half the time —  less than 20 months. So, for the same price as a building featuring a wood frame, vinyl windows, a popcorn ceiling, and an ugly beige carpet, SLI can build a steel-framed building with concrete floor slabs and ample natural lighting, right out of an IKEA catalog.
