The environmental impact of demolition and new construction is substantial, with significant carbon emissions resulting from the extraction and transport of raw materials. Our redevelopment projects help mitigate this issue by preserving the embodied carbon already present in existing structures.
By converting and repurposing existing buildings instead of constructing new ones, we significantly reduce the need for machinery and materials, thereby lowering carbon emissions.
In fact, 90% of our construction projects involve conversion.
To illustrate, here is a comparison of carbon emissions between Large Heavy New Buildings, Small Light New Buildings, and Renovations:
Addressing the housing shortage is a critical challenge, and our conversion and repurposing efforts bring homes to market much faster than new builds, contributing to the solution.
We integrate technologies that reduce energy costs, increase efficiency, and lower living costs for tenants. These include LED lighting, solar-powered lighting, microinverters, and smart metering/monitoring systems.
