2022 Year in Review: Caitlyn Angelini, AKF

What emerging trends will drive investment and development in 2023?
Two trends that will drive investment and development in 2023 include decarbonization and mass timber construction.
As many jurisdictions start to implement ambitious carbon neutral goals, we are designing more and more all electric buildings throughout the region and beyond.
The mass timber movement has been gaining traction in other regions for some time and we’re excited to see the trend start to shape the New England market. Owners, developers, designers, and builders are seeking the benefits of mass timber construction including efficient construction schedules, cost savings, sustainability, and healthy interiors with a focus on biophilic design elements.
In addition to all electric buildings, mass timber buildings of greater heights will start to impact our skylines. We look forward to being part of the teams that bring innovative designs and this versatile construction to life on the east coast.
