Case Studies

大规模木材业务案例研究

This case study series aims to fill a gap in available information related to the financial performance of U.S. properties constructed with mass timber structural systems in buildings across various product sub-types. 使用透明的定量数据, each of the 10 case studies analyzes how mass timber has created value and provides a qualitative overview of successes, challenges, 以及从开发商/所有者的角度吸取的经验教训.

The series was created through a collaboration with Conrad Investment Management and would not be possible without support from the developers/owners who share their data. WoodWorks is grateful to these firms and individuals for supporting our efforts to promote a deeper understanding of how mass timber might be a useful tool for investors, occupants, and the community.
