The NOWA Hotel at 88 North Washington is a unique next step in our focus on delivering high-quality, efficient, and sustainable building products.
It is an eight-story, highrise, boutique hotel concept that iterates on the progress made at our previously completed mass timber project, Terra at 11 E Lenox. It delivers 42 hotel rooms in a low embodied and operational carbon building on a challenging but marquee urban infill site; at the head of the Rose Kennedy Greenway overlooking the North Meadow.
The structural design, like at 11 E Lenox, is a pragmatic hybrid solution of a mass timber main structure with masonry cores. The solution leverages the many advantages of mass timber while utilizing conventional cores for its structural advantages in a constrained site.
Unlike 11 E Lenox, which is a glulam post and beam structure with CLT slabs, 88 N Washington utilizes CLT panels for both load-bearing walls and floors, creating a “honeycomb” structural solution. Stay tuned for more updates.
