San Diego Terminal 1 Exceeds Sustainability Goals

Flatiron pledges to send no waste to landfills by the end of 2045.

Flatiron is committed to building a sustainable future — we pledge to send no waste to landfills by the end of 2045. At the San Diego Terminal 1 project, we’re exceeding our sustainability goals by re-using and recycling building materials and waste.  

Key achievements: 

• Recycled 55,000 tons of concrete to be used as infill aggregate, with concrete and encase reinforcement being 100% recyclable. 

• Reuse of formwork and support materials. 

• Retaining walls and bridges designed to last 75 years, exceeding the standard 50-year lifespan. 

• A new three-lane access road will reduce traffic on nearby thoroughfares by thousands of vehicles. 

San Diego T1 will deliver a safe, forward-thinking design to be enjoyed by the travelling public for generations to come. Learn more about Flatiron’s commitment to sustainability.
