One of B.C.’s tallest mass timber residential buildings rises at 981 Davie

The 17-storey downtown Vancouver project combines mass timber construction with Passive House standards, delivering 154 non-market homes and a major new QMUNITY hub.

A recent BC Business article highlights 981 Davie, as one of British Columbia’s tallest mass timber residential buildings, combining Passive House performance with affordable housing and community space.

The 17-storey development will deliver 154 homes alongside a new QMUNITY hub, demonstrating how sustainable construction, innovative design, and cross-sector collaboration can come together to create high-impact urban housing.

Kindred Construction’s Project Director, Kenny Dempsey, alongside the Community Land Trust (CLT) hosted a tour of the site that was attended by Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim, alongside representatives from BC Housing and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, offering a sneak peek look inside one of the province’s most ambitious hybrid mass timber towers.
