Sustainability Initiatives

An Invitation to Innovate

Rowen’s design guidelines prioritize the seamless integration of natural elements across its 2,000+ acres, ensuring the preservation of the land’s beauty while fostering innovation and allowing flexibility. From the heart of Rowen Village—a vibrant mixed-use hub that will feature offices, multi-family residential spaces, restaurants, community areas and the arts—nature plays a central role in shaping the environment. Mature landscapes, including 100-year-old oak trees and a stunning native palette of pines and hardwoods, are preserved as defining features, creating a setting that inspires creativity and collaboration.

The development’s dedicated streets and trail network further demonstrate Rowen’s commitment to sustainable design. These paths connect the community internally and to the world around it while preserving and enhancing the surrounding natural ecosystems. By blending modern infrastructure with the beauty of its landscapes, Rowen offers a thoughtfully designed space that reflects its mission of harmonizing progress with preservation.

Sustainable Development

Rowen’s $33 million Phase 1 roadway and infrastructure project marks a significant milestone in sustainable development for Georgia and the Southeastern U.S. The two-mile multimodal roadway, connecting Rowen to Highway US 316/29, is Georgia’s first officially certified Greenroads Pilot Project. This certification — managed by the independent non-profit Greenroads Foundation — highlights Rowen’s commitment to sustainability in transportation infrastructure.
