Craft labor · rotational teams · shorter assignments
Long-Duration Project Team
HPHT Communities
Project leadership · engineering · commissioning · relocating families
Permanent Operations
Conventional community housing
Site operations · facilities · permanent technical workforce
The Housing Gap
Some assignments are too long for temporary lodging — but still require a real home.
Megaprojects can bring project managers, engineers, technical leaders, commissioning teams and operations professionals into a region for years at a time. Existing housing systems are rarely designed around that workforce.
Purpose-built workforce lodging
Best suited for
- Large craft populations
- Rotational teams
- Shorter assignments
- Centralized meals and transportation
- High-density project accommodation
An essential part of megaproject workforce infrastructure.
HPHT Project Housing
Best suited for
- Multi-year professional assignments
- Project and engineering leadership
- Relocating spouses and families
- Permanent operations personnel
- Employees who need a conventional home
A home in the community — not simply a place to sleep.
Our Approach
Long-duration housing, planned like infrastructure.
Large projects plan years ahead for power, equipment, materials, logistics and labor. Long-duration housing deserves the same discipline.
Housing treated as a capacity problem
01
Capacity Planning
Understand demand before the workforce ramp creates a housing constraint.
02
Local Execution
Build the local property, vendor, maintenance and operating infrastructure required to deliver consistently.
03
Permanent-Use Discipline
Deploy capital into housing that retains a rational use after project-specific demand fades.
HPHT applies program-management and capacity-planning principles to one of the less visible constraints surrounding a major project: where its long-duration workforce will actually live.
Who We House
Built around the long-duration project organization.
01
Project Leadership
- Project directors
- Project managers
- Construction managers
- Commercial leadership
- Project controls
02
Engineering
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Controls
- Civil
- Power and grid
03
Commissioning
- Commissioning leadership
- Startup teams
- Turnover management
- Technical integration
04
Permanent Operations
- Site operations
- Facilities leadership
- Engineering
- Infrastructure management
When an assignment lasts years rather than months, housing becomes part of employee retention, relocation, and project execution.
One Housing Program
From workforce plan to front door.
Instead of asking every relocating employee to navigate an unfamiliar housing market independently, HPHT creates one coordinated housing program connecting corporate workforce demand, local housing and ongoing resident support.

One accountable housing interface for the employer. One consistent experience for the employee.
01
Plan
Understand workforce timing and household needs.
02
Secure
Source existing, partner and future housing capacity.
03
Prepare
Bring each home to a consistent move-in standard.
04
Operate
Provide local support throughout the assignment.
05
Transition
Move housing toward permanent demand as the project evolves.
A Consistent Housing Standard
Corporate-ready without feeling corporate.
Employees should be able to arrive with their family and begin living — not spend the first month assembling furniture, opening utility accounts and chasing maintenance requests.
HPHT Ready.
A consistent standard for homes entering the HPHT network.
Move-In Ready
Professionally inspected and prepared before arrival.
Connected
Reliable high-speed internet and utility readiness.
Functional
Quality kitchen, laundry and everyday household essentials.
Comfortable
Quality furniture and workspace where furnished.
Practical
Parking, pet-friendly options and appropriate household functionality.
Supported
Responsive local maintenance and ongoing property support.
Specific standards vary by property type and corporate requirement.
Add Capacity
Create housing supply instead of simply competing for it.
01
Reactivate
Acquire and improve vacant or underutilized housing.
Bring existing homes back into productive use through targeted renovation and professional operation.
02
Partner
Bring qualified locally owned homes into a consistent project-housing network.
Expand capacity without requiring every property to sit on HPHT’s balance sheet.
03
Develop
Add new townhomes, rental communities and conventional housing when demonstrated demand supports construction.
Use project demand to accelerate housing that can remain valuable long after construction ends.
The objective is incremental housing capacity, not displacement of the existing community.
Initial Market
Southern Ohio
HPHT’s initial focus is Southern Ohio, where large-scale investment in data centers, power generation and supporting infrastructure is creating a prolonged cycle of construction, commissioning and permanent operations.
Communities closest to major project sites were not designed to absorb a rapid influx of long-duration professional households. HPHT is evaluating housing capacity across the Chillicothe–Waverly/Piketon–Portsmouth corridor with a focus on project access, family quality of life, existing housing depth and the long-term usefulness of new supply.
01
Multi-Year Demand
Major infrastructure programs require professional teams well before peak construction and through commissioning.
02
Limited Housing Depth
Secondary markets can have adequate normal housing supply while lacking the depth, consistency and operating infrastructure required for rapid corporate relocation.
03
Permanent Transition
Construction and commissioning demand can eventually overlap with permanent operational employment, allowing well-selected housing to remain useful after the build.
After the Build
Built for the project. Useful after it.
The best long-duration project housing should not become obsolete when construction ends. HPHT prioritizes conventional housing and residential infrastructure that can transition toward permanent employees, local residents, normal rentals, or owner-occupancy over time.
Construction
Project leadership + engineering
Commissioning
Technical + startup workforce
Operations
Permanent employees + local households
Different residents. Same useful housing.
About HPHT
Built from housing on the ground and program management at scale.
HPHT Communities was founded by Mason Um, a technology program manager and real-estate investor who has been actively investing in Ohio residential real estate for the past three years.
Through acquiring, improving and operating residential properties in Ohio, Mason has developed firsthand experience with the realities of local housing supply, renovation, contractors and property operations.
His professional background in technology program management brings a complementary discipline: coordinating complex programs across multiple stakeholders, anticipating capacity constraints, managing dependencies and building operating systems before bottlenecks emerge.
HPHT brings those two disciplines together — applying program-management and capacity-planning principles to the housing needs created by major infrastructure projects.
For Corporate Partners
One program across a complex project organization.
Long-duration relocations rarely sit with one employer alone. Project owners, EPCs, engineering firms, commissioning companies and equipment suppliers can all require housing in the same regional market.
One interface for housing strategy, inventory, relocation coordination and local execution.
Start Early
Housing capacity should be planned before the workforce arrives.
