Texas is jumping on the mass timber fan wagon with 50 mass timber projects currently under construction or recently completed, and another 84 projects in the development pipeline. Mass timber has historically been viewed as an expensive, risky, and unreliable building product. However, today mass timber is being celebrated for its sustainability, affordability, expedited construction timelines, and need for less workers to complete a project. While mass timber is still a novelty product in projects nationwide, its ability to produce quick and strong development returns will make it a household name for many developers soon enough.
Did you know………The Edes Building, a two-story art gallery currently under construction in Downtown Morgan Hill, is the City’s first project featuring cross laminated timber.
