SEATTLE, May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Green Canopy, Grocapitus, and ROC Modular have partnered to build Seattle s first modular townhouse residential project made from mass timber. Located in North Beacon Hill, just minutes from downtown Seattle, this innovative seven-unit urban infill project will be constructed with large scale prefabricated cross laminated timber (CLT) panels.
CLT is made from wood that has been stacked and glued together with a structural adhesive, giving the panels the strength and performance similar to that of concrete and steel, but with a much lower carbon footprint. CLT is quickly gaining popularity as an attractive building material for developers due to the ease and speed of installation and its low carbon footprint.
