    City Centre Lofts is slated to become the first mid-rise to be built out of shipping containers in North America. It will be constructed using 50 per cent recycled material.
    The Salt Lake City building was designed by architect Adam Kalkin.
    The building's footprint is about the same size as a common 25- by 120-foot Vancouver Lot.
