Arbora - Griffintown Phase 1 TWB MT

Consisting of three eight-story buildings, the Arbora complex in Montréal’s Griffintown is the largest multi-residential wood project in the world.

The project is a reflection of the developer’s determination to push the limits of wood construction and offer a welcoming and unique environmentby leaving the wood structure exposed within the living spaces.

This design feature, a first in Canada, was made possible following successful lab demonstrations confirming the very high fire resistance of wood systems, even when not encapsulated in drywall. The jury commends the project team’s ambition not only to build with wood, but also to minimize the building’s environmental footprint by targeting LEED Platinum certification.

Arbora is an inspiring project that brings innovation and prestige to the world of multi-residential wood construction.
