Mass Timber Pioneer

Oregon’s first mass timber multi-family residential building demonstrates urban density with low-carbon construction. The CLT structure sequestered 890 tons of CO₂ and reduced construction time by 25% compared to concrete alternatives.

Shared Urban Amenities

Rooftop community gardens, shared workshop spaces, and a 120kW solar array covering common area energy create collaborative urban living. EV charging for 40% of units and bike storage for 100% of residents reduce transportation emissions by 60%.

Affordable Performance

High-performance envelope and efficient heat pump systems keep utilities 40% below market average, increasing affordability. Prefabricated mass timber panels and streamlined construction kept costs competitive with conventional construction while delivering superior sustainability.
