Southfield 4 is a development of a class A, cross laminated timber “CLT” 161,200 SF Industrial/Logistics warehouse on 8 acres in DeSoto (Dallas), TX. It is located at the southeastern corner at the intersection of Danieldale Road and Old Hickory Trail just southeast of the Interstate 20 / 35 flyover. The Project provides Affinius Capital Industrial Development its initial exposure to CLT industrial construction technologies and methods. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), CLT construction provides an approximated 60% reduction of carbon emissions versus a conventional concrete industrial development. CLT products allow the use of renewable and sustainable resources as an alternative to more fossil fuel-intensive materials. According to the American Wood Council, using wood to build Projects has multiple positive effects to carbon footprint. Below are the expected effects using CLT in lieu of concrete construction:
o Reducing greenhouse emissions to the equivalent of driving 2.89M miles
o Reduction in the amount of carbon sequestered by 1,521 acres of U.S. forests over the course of one year
o Ability to ultimately reduce carbon dioxide never to be produced versus using concrete construction
