WoodWorks Webinar: Scaling Affordable Rental Housing with Tall Mass Timber

Discover how tall mass timber is reshaping the future of affordable rental housing in this upcoming webinar from WoodWorks and StructureCraft.

As cities grapple with affordability and climate pressures, innovative projects are proving that mass timber can deliver practical, scalable solutions. This session explores Catalyst’s 18-storey CLT rental development in North Vancouver and the real-world strategies behind making tall mass timber projects viable and cost-competitive.

Built for architects, engineers, developers, and municipal leaders, this webinar dives into key project insights — from structural grid constraints and moisture protection to prefabricated balcony systems and BIM-enabled coordination. You’ll also see how the team achieved near cost parity with concrete construction while integrating mixed-use programming and streamlining permitting.

What you’ll gain:

• Practical approaches to applying tall mass timber hybrid systems in affordable and mixed-use housing
• Lessons learned from architectural, structural, and construction challenges unique to CLT buildings
• Proven strategies for permitting, procurement, coordination, and construction
