People are the foundation of what we do

For more than six decades we have built a business where families can create their dream home — and where people can find a workplace they can call home. Our people-centric approach to business naturally extends to the priorities of our stakeholders, including suppliers, trade partners, stockholders, local governments and environmental organizations.

At KB, we don’t just build relationships and neighborhoods, we build communities in the spaces and places where people want to live. Additionally, we contribute to the revitalization of older neighborhoods by redeveloping and transforming infill locations and former commercial sites into vibrant new areas. The social environment in and around our new-home neighborhoods is equally important to us. It is our belief that homeownership inspires people to put down roots and establish long-term ties to both their immediate and wider community. Ultimately, this personal investment in the neighborhoods they call home creates better communities for all.

Investing in the long-term success of the communities in which we build

Building strong communities goes beyond boosting its social fabric — it requires physical and systems infrastructure to support current and future residents. We are proud to partner with local governments, school districts and utilities to contribute toward the development of schools, roads, utilities and other key infrastructure. Each demonstrates to local stakeholders that we are making a durable investment in their area, which we believe makes us better citizens in the places where we build — and may also be advantageous when land sellers and governments consider project approvals.

Revitalizing and reimagining older communities

In many of the land-constrained areas where we build, we use our expertise to reimagine the potential of underutilized land to revitalize older neighborhoods with new housing that can attract new residents and bring fresh energy. Land sellers and local governments know that we have the experience to work collaboratively to design new neighborhoods that can elevate a community’s overall surroundings.

Creating infill communities in established areas and participating in redevelopment projects are among our considerations when evaluating potential land investments. Our homes are often an area’s first new residential construction in years, offering energy- and water-efficient housing that can positively impact a community’s financial and environmental resiliency.

A number of our neighborhoods have been built in established locations, including 10+ redevelopment and 40+ infill communities in 2022. We also strive to optimize use of limited land resources by designing high-density communities greater than eight and up to 40 dwelling units per acre where zoning permits.
