We are a purposed-based company that puts people and planet first.

At Krause+, we know people are greatly influenced by their environments, and good environments promote positive growth. We believe by creating environments that nurture positive human connections, they will foster vibrant communities.

The reasoning behind the Krause+ name is simple: It’s the beginning of a formula. On its own, the brand is only part of the equation for what it takes to bring real estate projects to life.

Values

Our vision is a world where everyone can live healthier and happier lives. We make this happen through:

01

Sustainability

We meet the present’s needs without jeopardizing our future — reusing 75% of building materials during 2020 development.

02

Revitalization

We imbue new vitality into our environments — restoring buildings like 1420 and 1430 Locust to their historical charm while modernizing them for the future.

03

Inclusivity

We create environments to make everyone feel welcome and at home — seeking local and unique tenants instead of national chains.

04

Community

We’re working collectively with others to spread positive changes throughout our communities — gathering tenant feedback, getting involved on local boards, and engaging with community leaders.

05

Longevity

The decisions we’re making today will last for generations to come — improving tenant safety, preventing waste, and reducing water and energy consumption.

Impact

Purpose, people, the planet, and philanthropy drive every decision we make. These four pillars harness our values into real-world actions and guide our operating philosophy.

198

We own and operate 198 residential rental units in Des Moines.

1M

With over 1,000,000 SF of commercial and retail properties, we’re also one of the largest landowners in Des Moines.

2M

We have plans to develop over 2,000,000 SF of real estate over the next 10 years.

124K

Sometimes life gets hard and we’re there for our tenants when it does. In May 2020 we relieved $124,000 of residential rent due to COVID-19.

75%

We reused 75% of building materials during development in 2020.

30%

We’ve set a goal for 30% of supplier partners to be businesses with diverse ownership or existing diversity initiatives by 2025.

10%

We’ve set a goal for a cumulative 10% reduction in water and energy consumption across all properties by 2025.
