Construction started on 31-story mass timber building in the US

Friday 20 Jun 2025

 
A record-breaking apartment tower is under construction in Milwaukee. Neutral Edison will be the tallest mass timber building in the Western Hemisphere when completed in 2027

The 31-story building, 1005 N. Edison St., will include 353 high-end apartments and loads of environmentally-friendly features.

Once complete, it will eclipse the height of the current world record holder, the 25-story Ascent building located just a half mile east. That building, completed in 2022, was certified as the “world’s tallest timber-concrete hybrid building.” But an even taller building is already under construction in Sydney, Australia and is expected to claim the world record, limiting The Edison’s claim to the Western Hemisphere.

Nevertheless, Madison-based Neutral is moving on a project it has publicly planned and expanded since 2020. It’s also planning a world record-breaking tower across the street.
