Site tour of 837 Beatty Street
Join TWIG for an evening of learning and connection as we explore 837 Beatty Street, a hybrid mass timber addition currently under construction atop a historic warehouse in downtown Vancouver. This site tour offers a rare inside look at how one project is balancing heritage conservation, structural adaptation, and low-carbon building practices. 837 Beatty is a project supported by B.C.’s Mass Timber Demonstration Program.
At this event, the host will share insight into:
- the retrofit strategies used at 837 Beatty
- the coordination of heritage conservation and mass timber
- ETRO Construction’s evolving approach to sustainability through the Revive platform.
