Singapore, meanwhile, can lay claim to the largest timber building in Asia with a sprawling 468,000-square-foot college campus that opened in May.
Now, real estate developer Atrium Ljungberg has announced plans to build the world’s largest “wooden city,” which will be constructed in Sweden’s capital, Stockholm, from 2025.
Stockholm Wood City will feature 7,000 office spaces and 2,000 homes in the city’s southeast, and will offer “a vibrant, urban environment with a mix of workplaces, housing, restaurants and shops,” according to a press release.
Stockholm Wood City's developers say it will be the largest timber construction project in the world.
The first buildings in Stockholm Wood City, which is being designed by architecture firms White Arkitekter and Henning Larsen, are set to complete in 2027.
