USAA Real Estate and its development partner, Seefried Industrial Properties have publicly announced they are near completion of their latest large-scale project built entirely out of sustainable materials. This industrial warehouse is USAA’s first completely sustainable development which has reduced its carbon footprint by over 45%.
USAA’s new industrial warehouse located in Dallas Fort Worth has been constructed with Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) a meticulously designed wood panel composition in replacement of concrete. Standard concrete construction protocol produces approximately 8% of global carbon emissions every year.
"Consistent with our ambition to be more imaginative about limiting the environmental impact of our development projects, we are leveraging renewable resources harvested in a sustainable manner" managing director at USAA Real Estate, Lange Allen told PR Newswire.
It is apparent that USAA Real Estate along with several other prevalent real estate and construction companies such as CBRE are moving toward a sustainable future in order to reduce the carbon footprint of their developments.
