Design-focused real estate investment and management firm Jamestown has tapped a regional supply chain for construction of a mass timber office building at Atlanta's Ponce City Market.
The firm says its method of locally sourcing timber from sustainably managed forests in Georgia and Alabama is a first for mass timber construction in Georgia. Jamestown is also sourcing timber for the project from its own timberland. The company says the transportation required to move timber through manufacturing will be reduced by thousands of miles. Any additional manufacturing of the timber will also take place within the region.
In a statement, a spokeswoman for Jamestown said the move marks "a new standard for mass timber construction that is not only more efficient and dependable, but significantly more sustainable."
