Located in Plant City, FL, The Henry is a new residential community adding four three-story multifamily buildings to help meet the growing demand for affordable workforce housing in Central Florida's Golden Triangle. The project will deliver 96 new apartment units designed for durability, safety, and long-term performance.

 

Developer Peacock Capital and general contractor Vitruvian Housing selected cold-formed steel (CFS) framing and MAXTERRA® MgO Non-Combustible Single Layer Structural Floor Panels to accelerate construction while delivering a more resilient building system. Precision-engineered Frame CAD steel framing paired with MAXTERRA® panels allows framing and floor installation to move efficiently with reduced jobsite labor. The 3/4" tongue-and-groove panels fasten directly to the metal framing, creating a flat, non-combustible surface that allows the next level of framing to begin immediately. As we like to say at NEXGEN, "CFS and MgO go together like peanut butter and jelly."

Building with CFS + MAXTERRA®:

  •   Faster build times with precision-engineered steel panels
  •   Strong, durable, and resistant to fire, mold, and termites
  •   Sustainable and recyclable, reducing environmental impact
  •   60% to 90% post-consumer recycled domestic US steel
  •   Cost-effective and consistent — like an assembly line for buildings
  •   100% non-combustible - built to withstand the test of time and nature
  •   CAT5 hurricane-rated
  •   1/128th of an inch precision with steel framing
  •   Panelized construction = faster building with less jobsite labor

With MAXTERRA®, the project team is delivering housing that balances speed, resilience, and value. Vitruvian Housing is now a NEXGEN customer and CFS + MAXTERRA® advocate, bringing this proven approach to multifamily, commercial, and custom projects across Central Florida. As Jason Schaller puts it, 'Build smarter, stronger, and faster.'
