In an industry facing unprecedented challenges, the development team behind Midtown has an approach to supply chain management, international partnerships, and cost control that stands out as a model of resilience and innovation.
Founded on 20+ years of global sourcing expertise, ZLife is well-positioned to manage the impact of rising tariffs. While new U.S. tariffs are increasing material costs from countries like China (+34%), Vietnam (+46%), and Cambodia (+49%), ZLife projects only a 5% increase in foreign-sourced material costs — which make up just 16% of total development budgets.
Thanks to strong international factory relationships, favorable exchange rates, and direct sourcing strategies, ZLife continues to deliver cost-efficient developments where others may stall. Our focus on pre-engineered and prefabricated systems reduces field labor — the most expensive part of ground-up construction — and keeps projects on schedule and on budget.
ZLife’s agile model offers a clear advantage in today’s volatile market.
