Unix Housing Group has filed plans to build a 31-story apartment building at 191-199 College Street in Toronto that will become the tallest mass-timber structure in North America when it is completed.
The mass-timber building, designed by Icon Architects, will feature a unit façade cladding of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) pallets, a high-strength reflective lightweight cladding that is infused with a layer of solar cells.
