Ellis Preserve Office Building

This will be the first commercial Mass Timber office building, in the Philadelphia region, residing at The Village of Ellis Preserve, in Newtown Square. This five-story, 105,000 sqft building represents a sustainable and carbon friendly alternative to traditional concrete and steel structures. 

By using Mass Timber wood, 720 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions will never be produced, which is equivalent to taking 201 cars off the road for a year. The energy and greenhouse gas emission reduction are equivalent to operating 90 homes in a year.

The exposed timber framing and high wood ceiling, combined with the large glass windows throughout the building, will not only provide aesthetics, but will also take advantage of solar gains. The wood being used in the project will predominately come from a Black Spruce tree that is harvested in the boreal forests of northern Quebec.

Once completed in 2024, the new office building will be at the center of The Village at Ellis Preserve, a walkable downtown area with dining, hotel, and shopping options.
