3 Sustainable Construction Considerations for Your Next Kansas City Project

Sustainable construction is reshaping the building industry. Kansas City is emerging as a leader in this green transition as developers, contractors and architects are increasingly adopting eco-friendly practices.

These future-proof efforts on projects are lending to a reduced environmental impact and appeal to environmentally conscious tenants and buyers. JE Dunn Construction is among those firms committed to the implementation of increasing sustainable practices, contributing to this shift through key projects like South Loop and the KC Streetcar extension.

As regulations evolve and market expectations shift, sustainability is becoming essential. Green buildings attract tenants, meet stricter codes and reduce long-term operational costs. Embracing sustainable materials and methods positions developers for future success, supporting a more resilient and competitive Kansas City and beyond.

From using low-carbon concrete mixes on projects at Portland International Airport (PDX) and the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium Sobela Ocean Aquarium, to successful usage of mass timber on multiple projects including the climate-friendly presidential library for Theodore Roosevelt aiming for zero energy, zero water, zero emissions and zero waste, JE Dunn is pushing the bounds of what is possible.

Read more on JE Dunn’s eco-friendly intiatives and practices in an article from JE Dunn’s National Sustainability Director, Julianne Laue featured in the Kansas City Business Journal.
