About

Apex Plaza is a new 187,000 RSF cross-laminated timber mixed-use building above a concrete parking garage currently under construction at 100 Garrett Street in Charlottesville. The project represents the first large-scale mass timber project in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and one of only a handful in the United States. The building will include retail, office and  living spaces adjacent to the Downtown Mall.

Sustainability

The use of structural wood harvested from fast-growth timber is one of the many sustainable features of Apex Plaza. Much like a healthy tree stores carbon dioxide, one square meter of cross-laminated timber can remove approximately one ton of the greenhouse gas from the atmosphere. Additionally, the building’s 875 solar panels are designed to produce as much electricity as lead tenant Apex Clean Energy consumes in a given year, leaving the company with net-zero electricity use.
