Job DescriptionJob Description

JOB SUMMARY
As the Senior Director of Architectural Design at Model/Z, you will lead a dynamic team of architects and designers focused on revolutionizing modular construction.

  • Your expertise will drive the integration of technology into the architectural vision of our projects, ensuring excellence in standardization of design and specification across our portfolio.
  • This candidate will lead and build a team to take over all the architectural components of designing future Model/Z projects both for SoLa Impact and other clients of Model/Z.

This role is pivotal in shaping the future of affordable housing and construction by pushing the boundaries of modular architecture. This role requires a dynamic leader with a strong background in technology, architectural design, project management, and a passion for affordable housing solutions. The ideal candidate will have a profound understanding of modular construction and will be instrumental in shaping our product offerings, ensuring they are innovative, sustainable, and meet the highest standards of quality. They will collaborate closely with senior executives, eventually lead a talented team of architects and designers, and work across departments to seamlessly integrate design excellence with manufacturing efficiency and construction precision. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on addressing the housing crisis by delivering scalable, cost-effective housing solutions to underserved communities.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

SoLa Impact is an award-winning real estate private equity firm with a double bottom line strategy focused on preserving, rehabbing, and creating high quality... high-quality affordable housing in low-income, Black and brown communities. Only five years after starting its first ground-up project, SoLa Impact was recognized as the 16th largest developer in the nation, and the largest developer based in California by the National Multifamily Housing Council.

SoLa currently owns and manages over $1.2 billion of multifamily assets, almost all of which are in low-income, Black and brown communities. SoLa is currently leveraging private capital to develop 3,000+ affordable and workforce housing units in California. We are looking to not only help alleviate but to obliterate the obstacle of housing costs in our most marginalized communities. Having successfully raised and fully deployed its fourth fund ($300 million of equity), SoLa Impact expects to raise over $1.5B through a series of funds over the next 3-5 years from a combination of institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth investors. SoLa Impact’s work and strategy have also been the subject of business school case studies at both USC’s Marshall School and Columbia Business School’s Masters of Real Estate program.

ABOUT MODEL/Z

Model/Z is a trailblazing enterprise focused on reinventing multifamily housing through the development of standardized, modular units. Our mission is to provide high-quality, low-cost, and net-zero-ready housing solutions that are both scalable and practical, aiming to significantly mitigate homelessness and enhance living conditions for underrepresented communities. As a majority Black-owned and operated business based in Southern California, Model/Z is poised to establish the first standardized modular housing factory in the region.

Located in the historic Watts neighborhood of South Los Angeles, Model/Z is committed to revitalizing communities by employing local community members and paying living wages. Our innovative approach revolutionizes construction, transforming a traditional linear process into a parallel manufacturing system that allows us to build high-quality apartment homes in a factory before the concrete is even poured on-site. By empowering Black and brown families and institutions and unlocking the value of underutilized land, Model/Z embodies a model of equitable growth, addressing the urgent need for affordable housing in Southern California and beyond.
