Toronto, ON Mass Timber Environmental Housing Pilot
The pilot converts a public parking lot on Dundas Street into 100 affordable rental units. Mass timber construction balances low environmental impacts and costs with high levels of structural integrity. The Dundas Street project follows the Toronto Green Standard with on-site renewable energy generation replacing fossil fuel use. Lessons from Toronto's first mass timber project will inform a future citywide construction program.
