Neutral Announces Groundbreaking for Neutral 1005 N Edison St Project, Tallest Mass Timber Building in the United States to Take Place June 16, 2025
The Milwaukee, WI, residential with retail project charts a path for greener high rises with an innovative, sustainable mass timber construction process
MILWAUKEE, WI / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2025 / Neutral, the Madison-based real estate developer with a focus on innovative, long-term sustainability, announces an official groundbreaking ceremony for their 1005 N Edison St project, set to become the tallest mass timber building in the United States. An on-site event with speeches by Neutral CEO, Nathan Helbach, and remarks from distinguished guests, including Milwaukee Mayor, Cavalier Johnson, will be hosted on June 16, starting at 2:30 p.m. onsite.

When it opens, Neutral Edison will be 31 stories, with 350 residential apartments (studio, one-, two-, and three-bedrooms), as well as approximately 7,200 square feet of complementary retail space, to downtown Milwaukee. The project will offer tenants a lifestyle focused on health and well-being, including a full floor devoted to a membership club with a fitness center, health clinic, spa, pool, and sauna. The first floor will be a membership workspace and cafe facing the riverwalk with an organic grocery store, and the top floor lounge will offer a demo kitchen, community garden, and entertainment deck with private dining rooms.
The project blends exposed mass timber with natural materials and state-of-the-art ventilation systems, creating an environment that nurtures both resident well-being and environmental sustainability. Mass timber - a durable and sustainably engineered wood product - has numerous benefits for the environment, the consumer, and the developer. In producing far fewer carbon emissions than conventional steel or concrete construction, mass timber absorbs carbon dioxide. From a development point of view, mass timber also means less weight and construction waste.
The materials used to build Neutral Edison are estimated to reduce the embodied carbon footprint and energy consumption by over 45% compared to conventional buildings of the same typology and use. It will pursue Passive House certification following the PHIUS 2021 Core Standard, one of the leading and strictest certifications for energy-efficient buildings. Neutral Edison will also pursue Living Building Challenge 4.0. Core Certification, focused on sustainable buildings and overall resident well-being.
"With the growing interest in longevity and wellness, we are one of the top major projects in the housing rental market offering living environments with this level of on-site health services and attention to sustainability," said Neutral CEO Nate Helbach. "This unique integration is possible through our dedication to investing in enduring quality, community and resident wellbeing."
"Using mass timber technology in conjunction with a low carbon, high performing envelope, Neutral Edison sets a new standard for sustainable building design and construction practices," said Daniel Glaessl, Partner & Chief Product Officer. "We couldn't be more excited for the launch of this property with first in class offerings for healthy and intentional living."

India's Logistics Sector Sees Push Toward Greener, Smarter Warehousing
India's warehousing sector is undergoing a significant shift as automation, AI, and sustainable technologies take center stage. Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG) is leading this change through its intralogistics arms, introducing electric forklifts, IoT-enabled systems, and green manufacturing practices. With over 37% of its revenue now coming from eco-aligned solutions, GEG's push aligns with India's goal of reducing logistics costs and building a more efficient, future-ready supply chain. By Riddhima Jain Published on June 30, 2025, 12:34 IST India's warehousing and intralogistics sector is seeing a wave of innovation as companies adopt smarter and greener technologies to meet rising demand and efficiency targets. Among the key contributors to this shift is Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG), which has significantly expanded its presence in the space through its Material Handling Equipment (MHE) and Storage Solutions divisions. GEG reports that over 37% of its revenue now comes from its Good & Green portfolio, with a 30% growth in its network of eco-aligned partners over the past three years. Its intralogistics offerings — including AI-driven racking systems, electric forklifts, and IoT-enabled equipment — are being increasingly adopted by fast-growing sectors like e-commerce, FMCG, cold chain logistics, and quick commerce. According to company officials, 85% of procurement is sourced locally, reinforcing GEG's alignment with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. With a market share of 20–25% in material handling and storage solutions, the company is also investing in R&D and digital-first technologies to modernize warehouse operations across the country. 'Intralogistics is no longer just about moving goods — it's about efficiency, safety, and sustainability,' said Vikas Choudaha, Business Head of Storage Solutions at GEG. The company claims its technologies are helping warehouse operators cut costs and improve turnaround times, especially in high-volume delivery chains. GEG's Chennai facility stands out for its green manufacturing practices — with 3x water positivity, a 30% reduction in carbon emissions, and a roadmap to zero landfill waste. Its Mumbai-based MHE operations have also expanded electric forklift production and introduced India's first indigenously developed lithium-ion forklift with a custom battery management system designed for local conditions. These moves are in line with the goals of India's National Logistics Policy, which aims to reduce logistics costs (currently estimated at 14–18% of GDP) to single digits. As logistics becomes a strategic sector for India's global competitiveness, the focus on automated, efficient, and sustainable warehousing is likely to intensify. Whether these solutions can scale across India's fragmented supply chains remains to be seen, but companies like GEG are positioning themselves at the center of the transformation.
