NEW WESTMINSTER, BC — Aragon has launched Timber House, what it calls North America’s largest residential CLT project in New Westminster, B.C. Kalesnikoff, a Canadian CLT company will provide the material for the project. While the Ascent building in Milwaukee — a hybrid concrete and timber builing — was designated in 2022 by the Council on Tall Buildings as the tallest timber building at 284 feet, Aragon says its 77-unit Timber House residential project is the largest in North America when considering the issue in terms of “most amount of exposed CLT in the interior of any residential project in North America.” …Kalesnikoff offers a mass timber kit-of-parts solution that could be fabricated off-site and installed on-site that the company says provides “complete efficiency.” Kalesnikoff said its CLT materials are shipped and off-loaded on-site in sequence, which is critical for quick and efficient installation that minimizes time and labor costs, the company says.
