Turning Extra Land into Extra Impact
Turning Extra Land into Extra Impact
Posted on October 27, 2025
That patch of grass behind the warehouse? The weedy lot next to the employee parking area? It is more than leftover space. It is opportunity.
More and more companies are rethinking how they use their land, not just for logistics or overflow, but for the communities they are a part of. And it turns out, you do not need a massive footprint to make a meaningful one.
Reclaiming the Unused
Unused or underutilized land is everywhere. It can be found between buildings, on the edge of campuses, and near the back of parking lots. These forgotten spaces can be reimagined into something that invites people in, builds connections, and creates a ripple effect of good.
It could be a small pocket park with benches and shade or a walking trail where employees and neighbors unwind during their lunch break. It could also be a community garden where families plant, grow, and enjoy healthier foods together.

Small Spaces, Big Outcomes
You do not need acres to make an impact. Some of the most powerful projects we have seen came from companies with just enough land to dream a little bigger. The return? Healthier communities, stronger relationships, and a legacy that lives beyond your business.
Creating outdoor spaces also comes with real benefits. According to the Urban Land Institute, access to well-designed public space boosts mental health, improves social equity, and can even support local economies by increasing foot traffic and activity.
