Read about Allied’s ESG performance in our 2021 ESG Report

“We build and operate commercial real estate to save the global environment, not to destroy it.

We build and operate to foster human wellness, not to undermine it.

We build and operate to promote diversity, not to impose uniformity.

We build and operate to facilitate creativity, not to encourage conformity.

We build and operate as city builders, which in a way embraces everything else.”

MICHAEL EMORY
