Very cool

I wonder if this will spur more wood framed projects moving forward?

The wood manufacturers are pushing the use of these types of new structural wood products for use in mid-rise buildings. I can't speak for the cost, but wood definitely has advantages in terms of weight and sound/vibration dampening qualities. And while concrete production creates massive CO2 (an estimated 8% of total global CO2 emissions!), wood construction will actually tie up CO2 in the building.

Mid-rise will be a much easier concept to sell (for wood construction) than high-rise, though.
