Key Details About Timber Building
The city's largest mass- timber project to-date hopes to achieve the ambitious and eco-conscious Passive House certification. At 75 feet in height, the building prominently features exposed timber superstructure, alongside black and white fluted panel cladding in a slightly chaotic arrangement.
The 27,000-square-foot mid-block condo building rises six-stories and features a glue-laminated timber (glulam) post-and-beam structural system and floor plates. The timber systems are supplemented by lot-line walls and structure core built of concrete masonry. It is the largest mass timber building built in New York City to date.
