Town Centre​ Revival

O|Zone Developers transform yesterday’s commercial sites into mixed-use town centers — vibrant destinations that combine retail, dining, and entertainment, designed for walkability and community gathering.

Across America, modular container desig​n is reshaping how communities use space. Outdated shopping centers, warehouses, and parking areas are being reimagined into entertainment venues, restaurants, and cultural hubs — flexible, sustainable, and scalable.

Venues

Multi-container sites provide O|Zone Developers unique components for crafting local destinations with attractive and unique settings.

Intermodal Intelligent Systems™

The P​rincipals of Intermodal Intelligent Systems, an Investors Guaranty Global Alliance™ member, pioneered specialized container systems beginning in 1984. Partnering with Hyundai and Hyosung in South Korea, they introduced custom intermodal modules for secure self-service storage — an early precursor to today’s adaptive GreenBox™ architecture. 

By 1987, the Principals collaborated with BankAmeraLease and Ryder International in a $100 million program to rollout of “Lock Box” modules across 26 U.S. cities. 

For US institutional investors at the time, this "rolling stock" qualified for 10% Investment Tax Credit, 5 year depreciation and could be placed on land being warehoused for future developing, enabling its owners to deduct financing interest. Today, the OneBigBeautiful Bill has expanded these benefits.

Other uses included locating these 5' x 8' compartments on apartments, shopping centres, convenience stores, RV sites, marine docks .... providing easy access to convenient storage.

Over the years, modular designs evolved into boutique commercial and residential solutions throughout Europe and the Americas. 

The images below provide examples of the broad range of designs and usages to which modular containers have been applied.
