Toronto has taken a significant step forward in sustainable urban development with the approval of a mass timber development project at 1113-1125 Dundas Street West. This approval is part of the city’s Mass Timber Pilot Program, highlighting the increasing adoption of mass timber as a preferred building material across Canada.
The approved development will feature a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units, catering to various housing needs. With a ten-storey main building and a separate three-storey laneway building, the project maximizes the use of available space while maintaining a compact and efficient design.
Toronto’s approval of this mass timber project aligns with a growing trend across Canada, where mass timber is gaining popularity as a sustainable building material. This trend is further supported by recent updates to British Columbia’s building codes in December 2023, which now permit mass timber developments to reach heights of up to 18 storeys.
Massive Canada is a staunch supporter of mass timber construction and plays a leading role in driving these innovations forward. With several multi-family projects using pre-fabricated modular construction on the horizon, Massive Canada stands ready to lead the industry into a more sustainable future.
