Up@310 Receives 2023 Mass Timber Design Award

The Softwood Lumber Board and USDA Forest Service announced five winners of the 2023 Mass Timber Competition. @310 is honored to be one of the winning projects!

This mixed-use project involves the addition of 57 apartments distributed across three stories above an existing industrial building characterized by its brick and steel mill-style design. The pre-existing structure currently houses a diverse range of businesses, including small-scale manufacturing, maker spaces, education and entertainment & fitness.

The apartments in the development encompass a variety of layouts, featuring one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and studio options. Many of the units are equipped with external balconies. Notably, the building employs innovative construction techniques, incorporating a structural system that utilizes mass timber components including glulam beams and columns with CLT (cross-laminated timber) floors. The choice of wood for this project was motivated by its lighter weight, which minimizes the impact on the existing foundation.

Thank you to our stellar design team at Banwell Architects, Entuitive, Verahaus Structural & Lignin Group for creating this visionary project!
