Vantem brings a proven, market-tested approach to multifamily development, backed by decades of real-world execution across large-scale projects. In recent years, the company has built on its foundation through the acquisition of Arris, retaining its experienced leadership team, who now continue to lead Vantem with more than 100 years of combined experience in offsite construction and project execution.
Collectively, the team has overseen more than 10 million square feet of installed modular buildings across the multifamily sector. With in-house architecture and engineering capabilities, and deep collaboration with municipalities and private partners, Vantem delivers predictable schedules, accelerated timelines, and faster returns without sacrificing quality across multifamily, student housing, hospitality, and senior living developments. The completed projects that follow demonstrate why developers trust Vantem to execute large-scale, complex projects with confidence and predictability.
