HEALTHY AND RESILIENT
BUILDINGS
At Highwoods, we are focused on delivering an exceptional customer experience and are passionate about creating workplaces
that allow our customers to achieve their best selves. We aim to prioritize customer health and well-being by deploying evidencebased strategies and proactively planning for unprecedented events, like extreme weather events and global pandemics.
To promote health and wellness in new development and renovation projects, we incorporate amenities and design elements
like outdoor terraces and cafes that encourage activity and connections with the outdoors, healthy eating and collaboration.
Many of our properties include fitness centers and dining options that provide healthy food options. We connect our properties
with outdoor trail systems and natural amenities whenever possible to encourage our customers to incorporate physical exercise
into their daily routines. Additionally, the BBDs in which our properties are primarily located offer rich amenities and strong
connections to our local communities.
We maintain healthy workplaces by implementing a variety of operational strategies that prioritize occupant comfort and health.
We have implemented a comprehensive Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) policy across our portfolio that includes the optimization of
outside air ventilation rates, high efficiency air filtration, ongoing monitoring of key IAQ and occupant comfort indicators and the
use of green cleaning materials and integrated pest management techniques.
We are committed to pursuing Fitwel certification for 100% of our wholly-owned development projects and have achieved seven
Fitwel certifications to date. We view the real estate sector as a critical partner in addressing public health needs, a belief that
drives our commitment to prioritizing health-centric environments across our portfolio.
