The current SITES rating system for new construction projects has been vital in laying the foundation for protecting and restoring ecosystem services, fostering resilience, and prioritizing the health and well-being of a community. Today, over 1.2 billion square feet of new development projects in 17 countries are participating in SITES.

The project site was previously used as a storage site for potted trees and bonsai. The ground was covered with black anti-weed sheet and there was little biodiversity observed on site, not to mention that it had no practical use of the green environment.
