Sustainability

Good for the environment, good for the business

Kite’s corporate headquarters was recognized in 2007 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, as well as the Department of Energy, as an ENERGY STAR building. This designation identifies 30 South Meridian as one of the most energy efficient buildings in the country.

Solar

Kite currently has one 50 kW capacity solar project at Livingston Center in Livingston, NJ, and two systems at Bayonne Crossing in Bayonne, NJ with a total capacity of 81.33 kW. We're projected to complete a 130 kW system at the Crossing at Killingly Commons in Dayville, CT in 2017.

LED

Kite is committed to lowering the costs for tenant utilities, as well as saving energy, and has embarked on a long-term project to retrofit existing centers with energy-efficient LED lighting. In 2015, Kite retrofitted two centers in Salt Lake City for a total annual savings of 694,000 kWh of electricity annually and in 2016, we began yielding 1,102,441 kWh annual savings at Centennial Center in Las Vegas.
