About Sustainable 9 Design + Build

Written from the sources above

Sustainable 9 Design + Build is a Minneapolis design-build firm whose whole business is energy performance: it builds to the DOE Zero Energy Ready Home standard and the ENERGY STAR standard, certifies HERS scores, and holds MN Green Path Leadership status, with LEED, EPA Indoor airPLUS, and PHIUS Passive House among the programs it works in — though it notes that very few of its homes currently carry Passive House certification.

The U.S. Department of Energy gave the firm a Housing Innovation Award in 2020 for a custom home over 3,000 square feet, following an honorable mention in 2019. It is an NAHB 2024 Designated Builder and has shown in Housing First Minnesota tours in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2025.

A sixteen-person team including four partners builds in Highland Bridge in St. Paul, The Peninsula at Lake O'Dowd in Shakopee, and Linden Green in Minneapolis, with typical timelines of 10 to 14 months for a custom home and 6 to 10 months for a pre-designed one.
