The site of two run down garages will be rejuvenated with new affordable homes.
Work is already underway to build the homes in Daniel Close and Gravelly Crescent, Lancing, with the modular units due to be craned into place in September.
The homes are from Boutique Modern, a modular housing company, in Newhaven.
Dick Shone, managing director at Boutique Modern, said: “Our homes are super insulated and powered by solar energy which will help the new residents reduce their bills during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
“We have even adapted the homes in line with the individual occupants’ needs to ensure they meet their specific accessibility needs, helping them to live more independent and comfortable lives.
“This development will regenerate the sites, which were previously occupied by rundown garages, and will deliver a contemporary, beautifully designed development which also reflects the surrounding architecture.
“It will provide a fantastic place for people to live, with green spaces to stop and socialise with neighbours.”

Boutique Modern is working with Adur District Council to regenerate the sites, which were attracting flytipping and antisocial behaviour.
A total of nine new homes will be built in Daniel Close, with seven new homes will be built at Gravelly Crescent.
The homes will be a mixture of two and three-bed homes, with three of the homes designed to meet specific accessibility needs.
Every home will have its own private garden and a parking space with EV charging.
There will be solar panels on the roofs too and the homes are heated with electric panel radiators and a hot water tank powered by an air source heat pump.
The homes are designed to fit in with the architecture of the surrounding area and feature a brick clay-fired façade and a tiled roof, with soft landscaping around the development to encourage biodiversity.
Councillor Lee Cowen, Adur's cabinet member for housing and citizen services, said: “Here in Adur district, there is a significant shortage of the affordable housing necessary for our communities. Therefore, it is vital that the council invests in its community, which it is doing by building affordable homes on neglected and underused sites.
"Our innovative transformation projects with Boutique Modern will provide good quality, sustainable homes for our Adur citizens while protecting our beautiful environment."
