Timber buildings are becoming increasingly popular across Toronto, with new projects popping out of the woodwork (pun intended) in the past year.

BothGeorge BrownandU of Thave announced their own tall timber projects, and Sidewalk Labs has long been touting plans to create a smart city made completely oftimber towers.

Now,yet another office buildingmade with timber has been proposed near Lansdowne subway station.

77 WADE, an eight-storey project from developers Next Property Group and Fiera Properties, is being designed by Toronto firmBogdan Newman Caranci Inc.

77 WADE is a hybrid building made from a mix of concrete, steel, and nail-laminated timber (NLT), which will be fabricated by Quebec plantStructure Fusion.

It will be the first project to use NLT (as opposed to cross-laminated timber, which are glued together), with exposed ceilings and columns made from lumber stacked and fastened together with nails.

Spanning around 145,000 square feet, the mixed-use office will take over an empty plot of land, and is mostly intended for tenants that work in software development.

Aside from a new outdoor plaza, there will also be a "collaboration space" at street level, and close to 2,400 square feet of retail space.

Aiming for a LEED Gold Certification, the building will feature a wood canopy that covers the roof.

Tenants will have access to 34 parking spots including two electric vehicle charging spaces, and a shed for 120 bikes that features a big green wall.
