How does Kearny Point address climate resiliency and sustainability?
Kearny Point is a model for adaptive reuse and environmental stewardship:
- Flood Mitigation: The site elevation was raised to 16 feet (4 feet above FEMA requirements) to protect against future storm surges.
- Green Infrastructure: Features “blue roofs” for stormwater management, bioretention rain gardens, and native landscaping to restore urban ecology.
- Energy Efficiency: Energy Star-certified buildings with nearly 1 MW of solar power installed and plans for net-zero impact.
