Phnx Modular Systems

What Phnx Modular Systems does

Zullo Group (formerly PHNX Development Partners) is a Hoboken, New Jersey-based private developer and constructor that delivers affordable housing for mission-driven organizations. The company partners with nonprofit housing sponsors, faith-based organizations, and New Jersey municipalities to deliver publicly funded affordable housing projects, handling the full development lifecycle from feasibility, funding strategy and applications, design, entitlements and approvals through to construction delivery and warranty.

Its core offering combines standardized, repeatable housing plans with modular or hybrid offsite construction methods, under a single integrated team that includes real estate finance, development, and construction capabilities. Differentiating features include plans engineered once and replicated across projects, contextual community design tailored to existing neighborhood blocks, and flexible delivery modes (site-built, modular, or hybrid). The team of approximately six, led by Managing Partner and Founder Daniel Zullo, draws on three generations of family building experience.

The business model is project-based and relies on two revenue streams: development fees for feasibility, funding, design, and approvals work, and construction delivery revenue for site-built, modular, or hybrid build execution. Go-to-market is partnership-led and community-driven, with partner organizations leading mission, homeowner selection, and community trust, while Zullo delivers the project. The customer base is concentrated in New Jersey, with visible relationships including Habitat for Humanity Northwest New Jersey, Habitat SCNJ, Benebone, and municipalities such as Franklin Township, the City of Trenton, and Old Bridge Township.
