LEVER Architecture’s 843 N Spring Street is nearing completion as new images have been released depicting its glass curtain wall going up on the hybrid mass timber office building.
Located directly across from LA’s Chinatown Metro stop, the 145,000-square-foot, five-story building is set to be one of the first major Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) office buildings in Los Angeles. It comprises roughly 82,000 square feet of 3- and 5-ply CLT panels and concrete topping slab, with exposed steel columns and beams. In addition, exposed timber panels cantilever over the balconies.

According to LEVER, this approach has resulted in an estimated reduction of 1,357 metric tons of carbon compared to traditional building methods, the equivalent of keeping 287 cars off the road for a year.
Joining the building’s office space is 7,000 square feet of street-level and second-floor retail space. It takes inspiration from the plazas and alleyways in Chinatown, where the spaces between buildings often act as passageways to more secluded courtyards and gathering areas.
843 N Spring Street is developed by Redcar LTD and built by Shawmut Design and Construction. Its landscape design was carried out by James Corner Field Operations. The project is expected to be completed later this year.
