Sterling Bay is developing the nine-story, multifamily building for 2100 North Southport. The developer says it will be the tallest timber-made building to be constructed since before the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
But soon, the city will add a building with an old school material, used in a new way.
"I'm thrilled to talk about it. Nine story, mass timber construction. For the city of Chicago as well as for the country, frankly, this is a new product type," said Peter Gudonis, Project Manager, Sterling Bay.The developer says it will be the tallest timber-made building to be constructed since before the Great Chicago Fire of 1871."Yeah, it's hard to avoid that topic in this town. But a lot has changed in 150 years. Material science, or at least science or engineering.
And unlike the wood structures that burned so fast and furious in the Great Chicago Fire, this kind of timber can withstand the heat. "You can calculate the rate of it burns, and it's safely kind of chars from the outside so that the interior core is structurally sound," said Gudonis. He hopes this kind of construction will take off across North America, so timber could be part of Chicago's future, as well as our history.that I have read and agree
