10-Building, 270-Apartment Complex To Be Completed in Days In The Heart of The Bakken

I hope this story is posted on the net soon without requiring a paid subscription to the Williston Herald so others can see it.

Right now, it's in the paid subscription on-line edition.  The story has a great photo.

This is the lede:
Colorado-based company, Eaglesmere Williston, is developing a 10-building, 270-unit apartment complex called the "Confluence at Harvest Hills," on 15 acres in Williston's Harvest Hills subdivision, on the west side of town.

According to a press release: "The first apartment building section is being constructed in a stratgecally planned one-day process that involves stacking 12 factory-built sections together three stories high and connecting them side-by-side. The entire building will be completed over the coming weeks....
It's really quite remarkable.

While the entire Harvest Hills subdivision was being prepared with streets, utilities, etc., the houses, and the apartment complex, were being fabricated off-site, probably in Colorado, and then trucked in as modular units. This was not a trivial endeavor.
