STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS FOR REDEVELOPMENT

Our job is to put ourselves in your shoes from the very start of your redevelopment project.

Our track record is a history of effective strategies, formulated hand in hand with our clients, to steer their redevelopment projects to timely completion.

Keeping Projects on the Critical Path to Success

• In recent years, Kennedy/Jenks has executed hundreds of environmental projects involving property redevelopment, property transfers, due diligence, site characterization, remediation, and other services for real estate clients.
• To each project, we contribute the benefits of a broad range of experience – spanning industrial and commercial sites, the private and public sectors, from a few acres to more than 170 acres and multi-million-dollar construction costs.
• Our team of professionals is experienced in evaluating the risks of developing properties on contaminated sites. We have a vast amount of experience evaluating mixed-used infill properties and their stricter cleanup requirements.

Cost-Effective, Timely Site Assessment and Remediation

If contamination is found on a property, our team of geologists, engineers, and scientists assesses the extent and nature of the contamination and develops cleanup strategies to match the expected use of the site. To minimize cost and schedule impacts, we develop remediation strategies in conjunction with overall site planning. For instance, contaminated soil may be placed under roadways, areas unsuitable for occupied buildings can be made into green zones, and groundwater treatment equipment can be located in underground vaults.

Expediting Regulatory Approval

Our history of successful planning and negotiation toward environmental compliance on behalf of clients has earned us the respect of those at the highest levels of the regulatory community.

Founded in 1919, Kennedy/Jenks offers an unusually extensive knowledge of environmental conditions throughout the West, and unusually strong relationships with regulators.

Allow us to strategize with you about an effective path toward rapid regulatory approvals for your redevelopment projects.

From Infrastructure to Construction Support

Beyond site cleanup, Kennedy/Jenks provides extensive services for initial site development. Drawing on our core experience of more than 85 years supplying water and wastewater services, we offer:

• Master planners experienced with utility and infrastructure
• Permit and regulatory negotiation specialists
• Engineers for pipeline, pump station. and treatment plant design
• Construction managers
• Experts in conservation and water reuse (early planning of recycled water can be a key component to success)
• Complete wastewater treatment facility services for projects in states requiring no impact to existing POTW facilities

Proven Commitment to Sustainable Design

Kennedy/Jenks is committed to incorporating sustainability into every one of our projects. Going far beyond fashionable lip service to being “green,” Kennedy/Jenks has forged a Sustainability Program called GreenSteps that commits the firm to educate, demonstrate, and innovate in the area of sustainability – inside our offices and beyond.

We recognize the need to establish the business case for sustainability, examining the life-cycle costs and benefits of potential alternatives in light of finite resources. Sustainable solutions are often found to be the most cost-effective.

The University of California, National Park Service, City of Oxnard, and Port of Portland are just a few of the clients for whom Kennedy/Jenks has applied the principles of sustainable planning and design.

A number of Kennedy/Jenks personnel are accredited to help our clients gain LEED™ certification of their facilities to meet the standards established by the U.S. Green Building Council.

We strive to plan and design projects that will have limited environmental impact, and we employ sustainability principles from project development through design and construction.
