Ascent: A Firsthand Look at The World’s Tallest Mass Timber Building
December 7, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm CST
- In Person

This unique tour will provide an in-depth look at Ascent in Milwaukee. At 25 stories (284′), Ascent set the world record as the tallest mass timber hybrid building. It features 19 stories of mass timber, housing 259 apartments, above six stories of concrete parking and ground level retail. The 273,000-square feet of mass timber, which is ~50% exposed, offer all residents incomparable aesthetics with exposed wood columns, beams, and ceilings. The team from New Land Enterprises will lead the tour; project design team members will be on hand to answer questions and share information on detailing and construction techniques utilized throughout the building, noting lessons learned. The tour format encourages questions and discussion, and attendees can expect to leave not only with insights into the project’s design and execution, but the factors that influenced material and detail selection.
A networking happy hour will immediately follow the tour in Ascent’s 25th Floor event space.
