What does Carbon12 (the name) mean?

The building’s address is 12 NE Fremont St.

Engineered timber products take advantage of the carbon sequestration attributes of wood to provide environmental benefits. The atomic weight of carbon is 12.

How was Carbon12 designed and built?

Designed, built and developed by Kaiser + Path

Northeast Portland resident Ben Kaiser is the owner and principal of Path Architecture and Kaiser Group, known as Kaiser + Path. Both firms, and Ben himself, are committed to providing sustainable and renewable designs and construction techniques.

“We as architects and builders have to do our part in slowing climate change. We cannot wait for someone else to solve this problem.”

Our project, Building Carbon12, is a transparent and thorough documentation of the process behind designing, permitting and building the tallest CLT building in the US.

Sorry, no. We are accepting offers from owner-occupied or second-home owners.

Please explain the pricing of these units.

In building Carbon12, quality was woven into every decision. Price influences includes:

• Location: Valuable, urban land that offers convenient access to all parts of the city.

• Construction technology: By using cross-laminated timber (CLT), we’ve minimized impact on the environment and neighborhood. CLT is a stronger and more insulative material that’s sustainable and renewable.

• Unique: Carbon12 isn’t your average condominium, especially with features including: secure mechanical parking system, solar-ready roof, spacious patios for each unit and an elevator that opens right into your residence.

How many parking spaces do I get?

Units on floors 2–4 are granted one parking space; units on floors 5–8 are granted two.

Can I purchase additional parking or storage?

Sorry, no.

Are pets allowed?

Of course! However, there is a maximum of two pets per unit and dog weight cannot exceed 90 pounds.

Ask. We Insist.
