The Business Case for Mass Timber

Mass timber is redefining how we design and deliver buildings. This session spotlights three projects at the forefront: The Exchange, an office building in Kelowna, Parcel 19.1, a residential tower in Vancouver, and North Shore Neighbourhood House, an affordable housing residential tower in North Vancouver.
