Four storeys of mass timber rise above a 1911 warehouse. From glulam columns to NLT panels, see how this lightweight, sustainable system accelerated construction and minimized structural load.
Why Build Up with Mass Timber?
Mass timber is redefining what’s possible in sustainable construction—especially when it comes to adding density without demolition. At 837 Beatty, a four-storey mass timber office addition is being built atop an existing structure using lightweight NLT and CLT systems. This approach keeps embodied carbon low, minimizes structural loading, and speeds up construction with precision prefabrication.
837 Beatty highlights how mass timber can unlock new life for aging buildings and support smarter urban growth.
It’s a clear example of our ETRO Revive’s Reinvent strategy: thoughtful, low-impact additions that merge the old and new—preserving character while meeting modern performance and sustainability goals.
