Developer Sterling Bay is set to begin construction of Chicago’s first mass timber building, a nine-story, apartment tower in the Lincoln Park neighborhood.
A rendering depicts the nine-story apartment tower in the Lincoln Park neighborhood Sterling Bay is set to begin. The structure would be Chicago's first mass timber tower.
But an overhaul of Chicago’s code began taking effect in 2020, bringing it more in line with international standards and raising hopes among advocates that local developers can finally start mass timber construction. And although some people may worry about the safety of wood-based skyscrapers, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, along with scientists from the U.S. Forest Service, conducted a series of fire tests in 2017, and found mass timber structures hold up as well or better than concrete or steel buildings even under extreme conditions.
Hines finished T3 Minneapolis, a 221,000-square foot, seven-story mass timber office building in that city’s North Loop neighborhood in 2016, and Atlanta’s T3 West Midtown, another seven-story timber building, in 2019. Both were hits with big tech firms, with Facebook signing on as a major tenant in Atlanta, and Amazon establishing a hub at T3 Minneapolis, which Hines sold in 2018 to Chicago-based LaSalle Investment Management for $87 million.
