Mass Timber Market Updates - June 2025 - Week TwentyFive

The world of mass timber construction is reaching extraordinary
new heights—literally! This week we explore groundbreaking
developments that showcase how engineered wood is revolutionizing
modern architecture and sustainable building practices
worldwide.

At the forefront is Milwaukee's ambitious Neutral Edison project,
set to become the Western Hemisphere's tallest mass timber
structure upon completion in 2027. This 38-story marvel will
feature 353 high-end apartments and numerous eco-friendly
innovations, eclipsing the current record-holder just 1.5 miles
away. Meanwhile, Portland's manufacturing landscape is evolving
as ZUG Timber Solutions secures a long-term lease to operate a
mass timber modular factory, transforming a former marine
terminal into a hub for sustainable construction innovation and
job creation.

Across the Pacific, Perth prepares for one of the world's tallest
hybrid timber towers with Rothy Lohman's stunning design for 351
build-to-rent apartments. The project's pioneering hybrid
construction system combines cross-laminated timber with concrete
cores, promising reduced environmental impact while delivering
spaces filled with natural warmth. In Canada, milestone moments
include the arrival of mass timber materials for Prince Edward
County Memorial Hospital and the Ontario government's release of
an ambitious Advanced Wood Construction Action Plan that
prioritizes local timber use for faster, better
homebuilding.

We've gathered visual documentation of these exciting
developments on our LinkedIn feed, including in-construction
photos of Sydney's innovative Atlassian building with its six
discrete habitat levels. Whether you're a design professional,
developer, or simply fascinated by sustainable construction,
these projects demonstrate how rapidly mass timber is
transforming our built environment. Subscribe now, share your
thoughts in the comments, and join us next week for more
cutting-edge developments in the world of mass timber
construction!
