Sonrisa is the first ground-up cross laminated timber (CLT) project in Sacramento. CLT is being using for the horizontal components (i.e. 1st fl ceiling/2nd fl floor, and so forth). CLT is a mass timber product that sequesters carbon in solid form and keeps it from entering the atmosphere as CO2. CLT stores more carbon than many alternative non‐wood building materials. It also has superior lateral load-resistance, seismic resilience, and thermal, energy, and fire performance. And, the exposed wood is aesthetically pleasing.

Features:

• 100% electric ahead of the City of Sacramento 2026 requirement

• Cross laminated timber (CLT) construction

• Electric central water heating system 

• Low-water demand landscape materials

• Low VOC* building materials

• Participation in SMUD SolarShares and SmartHomes programs

*“Low VOC” stands for low volatile organic compounds, which are materials that are note harmful to the environment and humans. Examples would be paints and other products that are rated with a very low or zero VOC, e.g. sealants, adhesives and cleaners. Low VOCs are good for both the environment and living organisms.
