NEW DEVELOPMENTS
We integrate environmental sustainability and
health and well-being strategies into the design and
construction of all new office developments and
renovation projects. Since 2013, all new, wholly-owned
developments have achieved LEED certification.
Designing spaces to promote health and well-being
is also becoming increasingly important to our
stakeholders due to the health benefits and the strong
business case for increasing employee productivity and
retention. In response, we made a commitment in 2021
to achieve Fitwel certification for all future whollyowned development projects.
We have implemented a company-wide ESG Policy
for new developments to mitigate our environmental
impacts and address the changing needs of our
customers and community. The policy includes
requirements and best practices for the site selection
process, due diligence, resiliency, obtaining community
feedback, environmental performance, LEED and
Fitwel certifications, health and well-being outcomes
and stakeholder engagement. Developing high quality,
resilient and adaptable workplaces ensures the
long-term financial sustainability of our properties as
market conditions change. We do this, not only for the
environment, but these standards also realize the most
exceptional workplace experiences for their occupants.

PIPELINE
At the community level, we participate in public
forums and Business Improvement Districts to gather
valuable feedback from local constituents and
encourage anonymous feedback through our Ethics
Point platform. Through an inclusive development
process and responsive design, we strive to make our
communities a better place to live and work.
In 2022, our new Class A development in Tampa,
Midtown West, stabilized and achieved LEED and
Fitwel certifications.
