Strengthening the Communities We Serve

Building Buildings and Building People

Kraus-Anderson upholds a proud tradition of “strengthening the communities we serve.” We lead with a community-focused approach to construction, real estate and development, ensuring every project reflects our core values of integrity, commitment, teamwork and valuing people. We believe in giving back to the communities that shape us and actively participate in programs and activities that provide for those in need.

Safety from Start to Finish

Kraus-Anderson’s safety performance ranks within the top 20 percent of construction firms nationally. Safety is embedded in everything we do, from groundbreaking to final hand off. This commitment to excellence ensures the wellbeing of everyone involved in our construction and property management operations. 

Committed to Inclusion and Diversity

We believe diversity strengthens our organization and allows us to serve clients at the highest possible level. By fostering an inclusive culture, we ensure collaboration and innovation across all aspects of construction, property management and real estate leasing. Every individual in our ecosystem – employees, clients, partners, subcontractors and vendors – is valued for their unique skills and perspectives. 

"We wanted to know how we could collaborate with a company like Kraus-Anderson that has a tremendous local reputation. What attracted us to Kraus-Anderson was obviously the expertise and the depth and the ability to execute from construction to insurance to development across the board. But, more than anything, was that we could be far away in Florida, sleeping well at night, knowing we were in good hands."

- Juan D’Angulo, Managing Partner and Co-founder of Elion Partners
