Vancouver, B.C. – Bird Construction Inc. has been awarded a contract for the construction of a 14-storey modular build in Vancouver, B.C. ― the tallest ever modular build in Canada.
The project is BC Housing’s Permanent Supportive Housing Initiative on East King Edward Avenue. It has a $50 million value, according to a news release.
The building will adhere to Passive House green building design standards and be made of volumetric modular steel.
“Modular construction is gaining considerable momentum in North America and our Bird Stack team has been actively demonstrating the benefits to build more efficiently and fast-track delivery of important infrastructure to the market,” said Teri McKibbon, president and CEO of Bird, in the release.
The project is the product of an agreement between the City of Vancouver, BC Housing and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. It will contain 109 studio homes and the base of the building will have a commercial kitchen, dining room, multi-purpose room and tenant laundry.
