Four Pillars Of Stewardship Environment

To build prosperous and healthy communities within the ecological limits of our planet, it is essential to tackle climate change with disciplined and thoughtful development. We have adopted environmental sustainability principles, practices, and processes to both sustain the environment and support thriving economies. We seek to inspire our colleagues, residents, tenants, and the broader development community to make positive changes that enable ecosystems to flourish.

Community

A community is a network of relationships, enriched by shared values and motivated by the fundamental human desire to be part of something greater. We seek opportunities to build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive community for our colleagues, partners, customers, and neighbors. When we provide opportunities for all, not only do we allow for productive communities to form and flourish, but we also create economic success.

COMMITMENT TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING

TREE FOR A KEY Program

PUBLIC ART PROGRAM

Wellness

We invest to create environments that support physical and emotional well-being. When we design communities where healthy choices are easy to make, we in turn support the well-being of every person who lives, works, and plays there. The places we create then become the catalyst for a healthier and happier lifestyle not only for our residents and tenants, but for our colleagues and the greater community.

Resiliency

Our culture of resilience is demonstrated by our approach to community development and our overall business strategy. To create communities that remain relevant and prosperous over time, we balance our vision and values with flexibility to adapt. Focusing on a foundation of resiliency allows us to seed communities that will sustain and continue to thrive long after our involvement ends. The cultivation of diverse yet synergistic lines of business supports a strategy that is both robust and resilient, yielding consistent results.

“Ms. Simmonds, who pays about $2,800 a month for her fourth-floor apartment, sometimes meets with clients on Novel’s terrace or books one of its offices, decorated in vibrant colors with views of midtown. She goes to spin classes at a cycle studio on the ground floor, meets up with friends for drinks at a nearby rooftop restaurant, and buys microgreens, artisanal breads and fresh butter at the farmers market held twice a month on Midtown Tampa’s grassy commons.”
