Mass Timber Market Updates - Mar 2022 - Week Twelve

In this episode, in the fall of 2017, Sidewalk Labs, a subsidiary of Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc., announced a deal in Toronto to build a dream city “from the Internet up”, however some argue that dream was nothing more than some pretty pictures. After just a single visit to Australia, UK-based James Jones & Sons decided to buy a 60 per cent stake in Australian timber companies XLam and Hyne Timber. Winner in the Experimental Future Projects category in the World Architecture Festival 2021, SAWA – designed by Mei Architects and Planners – is Rotterdam’s first 50-meter-high residential building and it was developed with the goal to prove that humans can live and build in a sustainable way. Designed by CS&P Architects Inc., the Glulam beam and steel structure is being built by construction manager Percon Construction Inc. and is intended to improve the quality of recreational services to meet population growth and changing demographics in the area. Paul Kremer talks with Christina Wijeratne about the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and how it is seeking to transform Australia's approach to large-scale building construction, with a new $300 million program to encourage mass timber construction across the property sector.  The International Mass Timber Conference is only two weeks away!
