Preserving Finish Quality While Advancing Corporate Sustainability Targets
Location: Santa Clara, California Dates Poured: August 5, 2025When a builder known for pushing the boundaries of sustainable construction set out to create a next-generation headquarters, DPR looked for materials that could deliver performance, durability, and a radically smaller carbon footprint. Fortera’s ReAct® low carbon cement checked every box.
Engineered to cut embodied CO₂ by up to 70% versus ordinary portland cement while meeting ASTM performance requirements, ReAct enabled DPR to use a lower carbon mix for high traffic walkway, preserving finish quality and while advancing corporate sustainability targets.
