Designed by HDR, the Quinte Health Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital is currently under construction. When completed, it will be the first all mass timber acute care hospital in North America.

The sustainable infrastructure will include geothermal energy, solar panels, green roofs, and EV-ready parking. With energy-efficient operations and biophilic design principles, the hospital will serve its community with advanced medical technologies.

When completed in 2027, the hospital program will include 23 in-patient beds, an emergency department, diagnostic imaging, comprehensive ambulatory care services, and healing gardens.

Burnaby, B.C., is getting a new community centre and library. The mass timber structure will feature a green roof and solar panels. The centre itself will include a new 30,000-sq.ft. aquatic centre with a lap swimming pool, leisure pool, and a hot pool. There will be a four-lane running track along the perimeter of the space overlooking the gym with two full-sized basketball courts. There will also be a weight room and a café.

The 28,000-sq.ft., two-storey public library will include spaces for youth and seniors, multi-purpose rooms, a childcare facility, and large common and gathering areas. The whole structure will be four times larger than the current one. Construction of the community centre and library is underway by Graham Construction & Engineering LP.

Timberlab Inc., a subsidiary of the general contracting firm Swinerton that provides turnkey solutions for mass timber construction, has begun construction in the Wilamette Valley on a new CLT manufacturing facility designed by LEVER architecture. The new plant will use lamstock produced at Timberlab’s nearby sawmill in Philomath.

The 190,000-sq.ft. CLT manufacturing facility will support the increasing demand for sustainable construction alternatives in the country. The facility will integrate automated processes and is expected, at full capacity, to create 100 manufacturing jobs and produce 100,000 m3 of CLT per year, thus becoming one of the largest CLT production facilities in the U.S. The facility is scheduled to open at the start of 2027.

For years, Baltimore’s Inner Harbor has served as a key industrial hub, facilitating the movement of goods and acting as a gateway to the rest of the U.S. Now, MCB Real Estate is leading a revitalization effort to transform the area into a dynamic gathering place for both residents and visitors.

The winning design by 3XN envisions a vibrant, market-style environment that will support local businesses, artisans, and creatives by offering diverse retail spaces tailored to smaller, independent retailers. In addition to retail, the redevelopment will feature a 2,000-seat amphitheater, recreational spaces, and waterfront dining, creating an engaging destination for the community.

At the heart of the design is a publicly accessible rooftop landscape with terraced walkways that seamlessly connect visitors to the building’s activities while offering elevated views of the water. This thoughtful integration of architecture and public space ensures that the redevelopment is not just a commercial hub but a welcoming and interactive part of the city’s fabric. Construction is now underway.

Swedish urban developer Atrium Ljungberg has begun construction of Stockholm Wood City—the world’s largest timber-built urban development. The developer worked with leading architectural firms, White Arkitekter and Henning Larsen Architects, to craft the architectural vision for Stockholm Wood City.

Stockholm Wood City will be a climate-neutral, circular district where sustainability, community, and cultural heritage intersect. Built entirely from wood, it will feature mixed-use timber buildings with greenery at street level, on façades, and rooftops. The design also preserves historically significant industrial structures while creating a walkable, 15-minute city that prioritizes green spaces, social interaction, and sustainable living.

Located in Sickla, in southern Stockholm, the project will span of more than 250,000 sq.m. and include workplaces, restaurants, shops, and 2000 new residential units. The first stage of the development began construction in 2024, with the first buildings expected to be completed by the end of this year.
