Mass Timber Update at Shortstack Mississippi

Oct 10, 2024

Construction at Shortstack Mississippi is full speed ahead! Utilizing a hybrid system of panelized, wood-framed walls paired with Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) has contributed to its rapid pace. In just 13 short months, 36 new multifamily units will be brought to North Portland’s historic Mississippi District.


Founded by Jessy Ledesma and Anna Mackay, Shortstack Housing provides scalable solutions to middle housing development through prefabricated, mass-timber construction that is customizable to the needs of each infill site. Depending on the lot size, zoning, and community context, Shortstack can shrink and grow to deliver responsive housing as quickly as possible, with a focus on “missing middle”-scale infill development.
