Recently we got to talk with a group of future homeowners about what home feels like to them and what they want to see in their Northeast Portland community. The team at introduced community members to the home buying process and our VP of Product Darrin Greichen helped capture future homeowner’s visions. We loved hearing how important greenspace and community gathering spaces are to this community. We will be partnering as the general contractor and delivering our modular designs to this new community. We can’t wait to bring this exciting project to life!

We have built more Net-Zero-Energy homes than any other builder in Seattle and Portland combined and work hard to deliver extremely high-quality homes because we know that buildings that last, ultimately have a much smaller environmental footprint.

We are excited to share a sneak peek of the renderings for this CLT modular apartment building, commissioned by our client. Designed by Green Canopy NODE, the 4-story, 33-unit apartment building in Seattle's Rainier Valley features sustainably forested CLT assembled into modules at Mercer Mass Timber's Spokane factory. These high-quality carbon negative modular living spaces emphasize full-height composite windows for abundant natural light.

Offsite production of the modules including kitchens, bathrooms, finishes, and fittings will accelerate construction while ensuring quality in controlled conditions. Once shipped to site in 2025, efficient project assembly will minimize neighborhood impact and construction time.
