Responsible development starts by noticing what others might overlook.
While preparing our ATL5 site in Atlanta, we discovered Georgia asters growing on the property.
They are a protected species, and they play an important role in the local ecosystem by supporting pollinators at a specific time of year.
We could have treated that discovery as a complication.
Instead, we treated it as a responsibility.
We brought in environmental experts from Kimley Horn to understand the impact of the project, carefully relocate the asters, and then create a pollinator-friendly habitat where they could continue to grow undisturbed.
The work did not stop there.
Our teams also helped create water-wise landscaping and a native wildflower garden designed to support bees, butterflies, and other pollinators long after construction is complete.
That matters because building infrastructure is about contributing to a community while also thoughtfully caring for what is already part of it.
We are growing, building, and supporting the digital world, but that growth should still leave room for the ecosystems and communities around us to thrive.
That is what responsible development looks like to us.
