Local Vancouver Wood Builder to start near 500 Sustainable SmartWoodTM Homes in BC

Vancouver, British Columbia, Oct. 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On October 2nd, 2019, sustainable home builder Adera Development Corporations celebrates its 50th year of building innovative and superior quality wood homes for future generations.

As highly regarded industry leaders through their use of cross-laminated timber (CLT), Adera has demonstrated their expertise by trademarking a new health-conscious building material called SmartWood^TM. Inspired by Adera’s unwavering commitment to innovation, this method of construction is faster, sustainably responsible, prevents heat loss, increases fire safety rating, and is seismically resilient.

“50 years of experience has led us to incorporate new technologies to better the homes we build for our customers,” says Eric Andreasen, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Adera Development. “We’ve created SmartWood^TM as a way to build stronger, healthier homes for British Columbians in an environmentally conscious manner for generations to come. SmartWood^TM is the combination of mass timber, cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, Adera’s QuietHome^TM system, and our Sustainable practises. The result is a superior method of building residential multi-family homes.”

Adera is integrating the new Smartwood^TM technology into two of their new projects coming to market this year, Duet in West Coquitlam and CREST in North Vancouver. The attached picture is the first CLT panels flying into position and being installed at CREST last Friday. This run of panels is the start of more than 250 homes that will incorporate the mass timber SmartWood^TM technology. As a result, Adera will be constructing the most residential mass timber homes in North America. Adera will be starting a number of other projects that will take the number of residential homes using SmartWood^TM to nearly 500.

“Current homeowners and prospective home buyers can expect to see more alternative building materials used to reduce the carbon footprint of our homes to appeal to a forward-thinking, eco- friendly population,” says Andreasen. “As disruptors in this sphere, we are paving the way for innovation in development and challenge others to follow suit.” “Made-in-BC Adera intends to be the best mass timber (SmartWood^TM) builder in the world!” says Andreasen.

As Vancouver’s original leader in sustainability, Adera is dedicating the next 50 years to addressing issues of climate change and combating the use of greenhouse gas emissions in Vancouver real estate. With climate change and sustainability at the forefront of the global mindset, SmartWood^TM technology is a timely solution and welcome breath of fresh air.
