Salt Lake City, Utah, is the site of a trending innovation in the housing industry: a new apartment building made of shipping containers.
According to the structural engineer on the project, it's built "like a tank." Because the apartments are made of heavy steel containers, they are earthquake-proof and very safe. Since the cost of conventional building materials has skyrocketed, there's an affordability advantage as well.
Similar projects are being used in other cities, including Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
