Adera launches two mass timber projects in Vancouver

Friday, September 2, 2022

Adera Development Corporation announced it is bringing two mass timber residential developments to the Vancouver market, with construction set to begin this fall. Pura, a 248-unit townhouse and condo project will be the first to get underway in late September, followed by Sol in October, a 201-unit residential development featuring a mix of condo and rental units.

According to Eric Andreasen, Adera’s senior vice president, marketing & sales, there has already been substantial interest in the projects.

Sol, located at Clarke Road and Como Lake Avenue in West Coquitlam was designed to include rental units to enable those seeking flexibility or unable to afford a downpayment access to the same standard of living. The units are grouped around a central courtyard with condos and rentals designed to share the same look and feel.

Adera, which specializes in six-storey residential projects, is a well-established brand in Western Canada, known for incorporating mass timber into its building designs. Educating the public on the benefits of wood construction has been a large part of the company’s mandate, and one of the toughest obstacles it’s had to overcome due to long-held misconceptions about the safety and efficacy of wood in construction.

According to the company’s website, “The use of SmartWood in our buildings creates healthier superior quality infrastructures designed to surpass alternative building materials. SmartWood has a cleaner carbon footprint with air components to sequester carbon, for stronger, healthier homes.”
