One-to-Four Story Office Buildings Can Cost
20-30% less
per square foot than their non-wood counterparts.
A comparative analysis of one-to-four story office buildings constructed between
2009 and 2015 conducted by WoodWorks shows that wood offices can cost 20 to 30
percent less per square foot than their non-wood counterparts.
Wood Use
A thoroughly modern take on the 100-year-old, tried-and-tested construction technology of nail-laminated timber (NLT), 77 Wade is set to surround a new generation of knowledge workers with the warmth and beauty of wood. This contemporary approach to timber warehouses of the past is comprised of concrete-filled steel beams, glulam columns and prefabricated wood decking overhead. High-impact renderings of this state-of-the-art office envision a mass timber building that is sleek and futuristic.
The lightness, transparency and levity of 77 Wade’s design, according to BNKC Architecture + Urban Design partner Jonathan King, is achieved using a hybrid concrete-steel and timber structural system that plays to the strengths of each building material.
“In this particular project, we’re incorporating a composite timber deck system that brings together the qualities of wood with the qualities of concrete and steel and combines them to get the best attributes out of each material,” says King. By doing so, this hybrid approach achieves spans equal to a traditional concrete and steel design and affords all the amenities expected of a modern office building, while retaining the warmth and charm of exposed wood. As Next Property Group managing partner Jeff Segal sees it, they’re not necessarily re-inventing the wheel, but they are using 21st-century technology to unite these components in an entirely new way.
Environmental Impact
At eight stories and approximately 150,000 ft2, it will be the tallest mass timber office building in Canada targeting LEED Gold certification. The Toronto-based developer has embraced the benefits of mass timber, touting its sustainable advantages in building promotion, including the fact that timber can be locally sourced and offer a smaller carbon footprint than other structural materials. Fabricated by Structure Fusion, 77 Wade’s mass timber components will be prefabricated in a nearby plant and assembled on site, reducing emissions and transportation costs.
In addition to the environmental advantages of mass timber, 77 Wade is an eco-friendly workplace through its location and design, incorporating sustainable and biophilic features throughout, which have the potential to reduce occupant stress levels. These include an
abundance of natural light, a natural living green wall and exposed wood. Located near the West Toronto Railpath and multi-use trail, the
building is a multimodal transportation hub that is easy to reach by public transit and will accommodate bike storage and end-of-trip
changing facilities.
