Ascent MKE is a mass timber high-rise apartment building under construction[1] in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. When completed, the 284-foot[2], 25-story high-rise will be the world’s tallest mass timber structure, edging out Norway’s Mjostarnet.[3][4] It will feature 259 luxury apartments, retail space, an elevated pool with operable window walls, and a sky-deck. Ascent MKE will be the first mass timber apartment building in the United States. [5][6]
In May of 2019, Ascent was named a recipient of a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant awarded through the Forest Service’s Wood Innovations Grant program.[7] The federal grant assisted with the testing needed to prove mass timber’s ability to perform as well as traditional building materials like concrete and steel to meet U.S. building codes.[8][9]
Plans for the project were unveiled in 2018.[10] While the initial design included 21 floors,[11][12] updates and subsequent approvals brought the total to 25 floors in March of 2020. [13][14]
The project has been presented at the 2018 international CTBUH conference in Dubai[15], the 2019 international CTBUH conference in Chicago, the 2019 International Mass Timber conference in Portland.[16]
Construction on Ascent began in August 2020, and is expected to conclude in 2022.[1]
