Marc Andreessen is always trying to build stuff. For years, his motto has been “it’s time to build,” which I think he means metaphorically, though lately he’s been literally trying to build stuff. As a prominent backer of the California Forever project—the troubled effort to build a brand new metropolis on thousands of acres of Bay Area farmland—Andreessen has been laboring to take billionaire-backed urban planning to the next level. And while that effort may have stalled, it would appear that those close to him are still very much interested in building stuff in the Bay Area, albeit on a much smaller scale.

The use of alternative materials in developing offices and residential buildings has been on the rise for the last several years as real estate professionals respond to a growing number of decarbonization mandates and see the benefits of building in a more sustainable way. One of the most popular alternatives to traditional building materials like concrete and steel has been mass timber. It is popular, especially in the Pacific Northwest, where the region’s abundant, sustainably managed forests offer a rich timber supply for new projects. Using mass timber in construction has surged in recent years, but building taller properties with the material has proved challenging due to regulations and costs. However, a handful of developments worldwide have proved that it can be done, and for one California firm, their latest project could be record-setting.
