Mass Timber Market Updates - Jan 2025 - Week One

What if mass timber could unlock a sustainable future for the
construction industry? Join us as we explore the groundbreaking
advancements in mass timber construction and how they're
reshaping our built environment. I'm your host, Paul Kremer, and
I’m thrilled to guide you through the latest episode of the Mass
Timber Construction Podcast. We kick off the year with an
inspiring story from Melbourne, where Quincy Melbourne has set a
remarkable precedent by becoming the first hotel in Victoria to
earn the Neighbours Climate Active carbon neutral certification,
all thanks to the innovative use of mass timber. The episode also
takes you on a journey through the rise of mass timber buildings
with insights from Ohio State University, highlighting the
eco-friendly benefits and economic implications of this
transformative construction material.

But that’s not all—get ready to be captivated by the stunning
Grand Ring at the Osaka 2025 Expo, made entirely from
glue-laminated timber. Check out the dazzling nighttime images
that capture its majestic beauty. We also spotlight an exciting
opportunity: the $1.8 million mass timber construction
competition for building sustainable schools, with entries
closing soon. Plus, we delve into a fascinating article from the
Softwood Lumber Board on how mass timber can reduce costs and
emissions, featuring the Evergreen Charter School in New York.
Mark your calendars for the International Mass Timber Conference
in Portland this March, where the future of construction will be
on full display. Don't miss this chance to learn and engage with
the pioneers of sustainable building practices!
