Modular housing manufacturer MMY US plans to establish operations in Cleveland, Ohio. The approximately $26 million project is expected to create up to 150 jobs.

The investment will include the redevelopment of the Wellman-Seaver-Morgan Engineering Company building at 7000 Central Avenue into a manufacturing facility.

“We are grateful to Mayor Bibb, the City of Cleveland, and the Site Readiness for Good Jobs Fund for the confidence they have placed in MMY US,” said Robin Bartram Brown, CEO of MMY US. “At MMY, we believe quality housing creates stronger communities, and that the best outcomes are achieved through innovation, skilled manufacturing, and strong partnerships. We look forward to contributing to Cleveland's future.”

The project is being supported by $2.56 million in Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credits.

“This is far more than the rehabilitation of a historic building. As the crown jewel of the Midline, Wellman-Seaver represents the opportunity to reconnect Cleveland's industrial legacy with its economic future by creating a site that will attract investment, support housing production, and generate jobs for decades to come,” noted Brad Whitehead, Managing Director of the Site Readiness for Good Jobs Fund. “We are grateful to receive the full amount requested to support the restoration and redevelopment of the historic Wellman-Seaver Building, and we thank Governor Mike DeWine, the Ohio Department of Development, Mayor Justin Bibb, and the City of Cleveland for their continued partnership and commitment to this transformational project.”

MMY US is a manufacturer of steel-framed modular single-family and multifamily housing for residential and commercial markets.

“Clevelanders deserve access to high-quality, affordable homes, and addressing our housing shortage requires bold action. With the selection of MMY as our modular housing manufacturing partner, we are taking a major step toward building more housing, more quickly, and at a scale that meets the needs of our residents,” added Mayor Justin M. Bibb. “This decision brings advanced manufacturing and good-paying jobs to Cleveland while creating the capacity to produce the homes our city needs. It is a powerful example of how we are tackling our housing challenges head-on and building a stronger, more affordable future for Cleveland families.”
