The Canyons

The Canyons is a unique housing development with an emphasis on 100% ADA accessibility, independence, and urban living. The 70-unit building features CLT roof/floor systems, light wood-frame walls above a post-tensioned concrete podium. An open air, naturally lit atrium connects the five residential levels, features exposed CLT walkways, and enhances a sense of community in the building.

See the business case study for this project. The case study series aims to fill a gap in available information related to the financial performance of U.S. properties constructed with mass timber structural systems in buildings across various product sub-types. Using transparent quantitative data, each of the 10 case studies analyzes how mass timber has created value and provides a qualitative overview of successes, challenges, and lessons learned from the developer/owner perspective.
