sourced from Arkansas forests.
And the building will have some steel “buckle restraint braces” that are necessary for seismic considerations. Staheli said that could include drawing more lumber from Utah, which once had a larger lumber industry, but Philo’s main focus is just encouraging widespread adoption of mass timber regardless of the source. The wood at Baltic Pointe comes from a Canadian manufacturer, which ships it to Utah in pieces small enough to fit on trucks.
The developers are saving money on natural gas lines in the building, and that’s because there aren’t any. Baltic Pointe will be a fully electric building, which Hart sees as essential for a building that will last decades. While Utah’s electricity is still heavily dependent on climate-crashing coal, that dependence is expected to lessen as renewable sources come online later in the life of the building.

The complex at 1095 E. 2100 South will tentatively have 229 dwelling units, to be rented at market rate rents. The 1.22-acre site, currently occupied by a Wells Fargo bank, is zoned for commercial uses as part of Sugar House’s central business district, which would allow for a building of up to 105 feet, or about nine stories.
