MTA Principal, Phil Silverstein, recently spoke with Payam Noursalehi on his podcast “Real Estate Development Insights” about our landmark, mass timber project, Limberlost Place at George Brown College’s Waterfront Campus in Toronto (designed with Acton Ostry Architects).

In this episode, entitled “Limberlost Place Case Study: A Pioneering Mass Timber Project”, Phil shares insights on regenerative design, the advantages of mass timber in sustainable architecture, and the groundbreaking innovations showcased in Limberlost Place. The conversation delves into the environmental benefits of using this type of structural system, the potential for its broader application in mainstream construction, and the critical need for resilient building practices..

“Limberlost Place is a game changer. It is a demonstration project that’s one of a kind and doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. A key aspect to sustainable architecture is resiliency – If you aren’t building for resiliency, then you’re not building for the future.”
