Designed as Toronto’s first six-storey mass timber mid-rise building, Heartwood combines ground floor retail with five storeys of residential units.

Moses Structural Engineers developed a new prefabricated concrete composite cross-laminated timber system for the superstructure to speed construction. We worked closely with the acoustic and code consultants to leave portions of the cross-laminated timber walls and ceilings exposed. We also worked closely with Cunliffe & Associates who designed the multi-storey underground parking, for hydrostatic pressure and shoring/excavation procedures. Slightly ahead of its time, our design changed direction and was completed in 2021.
