Prescient, a digital design-build company leveraging precision off-site manufacturing to industrialize multi-unit housing construction, announced it has received a $90 million financing commitment from Eldridge, a holding company with a unique network of businesses across finance, technology, real estate, and entertainment. Eldridge previously led the Series E-1 Capital Raise in July of 2018.
“This facility provides Prescient with the resources necessary to expand our technological leadership as a disruptive innovator in the multi-unit housing space especially in a post-COVID environment where off-site construction will become even more critical,” said Magued Eldaief, CEO of Prescient. “Our proprietary digital design-build system provides our customers an ideal solution to build faster and more economically using fewer workers by leveraging our digital thread and advanced off-site manufacturing approach.”
“This latest financial commitment made by Eldridge demonstrates the confidence and commitment of the investment group we have behind us,” said Loren Bough, Chairman of Prescient.
“We believe Prescient is an industry disruptor, with demonstrated capabilities to directly address the challenging issue of housing affordability around the world,” said Tony Minella, Co-founder and President of Eldridge. “Prescient has built a growing base of loyal users and is now expanding into sizable new segments such as seismic zones and federal opportunities where its technology solution has a compelling competitive advantage.”
Since 2013, Prescient has completed 50 buildings and 8.3 million square feet of multi-unit housing including: condos, market-rate apartments, student housing, senior living, armed forces housing and corporate housing. It has firm project commitments to deliver almost 4.0 million square feet in 2021 alone.
