Sustainable Business Operations & Management
From the beginning, the developers of Ballantyne have recognized the importance of creating environmental sustainability within our office environment as well as among customers and the community. Over two decades ago, Ballantyne’s master planners began their commitment to creating a strong infrastructure from family farmland.
Long stewards of the environment, Ballantyne remains committed to sustainable business practices. Northwood Office continues to evaluate energy management, water conservation, recycling efforts and more to ensure we are implementing the most effective and environmentally-friendly practices.
LEED® Commitment
Ballantyne exemplifies responsible development. The Corporate Park features more than two million square feet of LEED® Gold-certified office space. Northwood Office is compliant with LEED requirements regarding smoking areas’ distance from buildings and air intakes. Aloft Charlotte Ballantyne is also LEED-certified.
