Amazon HQs Revitalized with Sempergreen Green Roofs

Name: Arlington
Address: Arlington, Virginia, US

In Arlington, Virginia, Amazon’s headquarters now feature expansive green roofs with views of the Washington Monument. Nestled in Metropolitan Park, the project reflects Amazon’s sustainability vision, proving how architecture and nature can unite to create healthier, more inspiring urban environments for the community.

Multifunctional surface

Every part of the roof contributes. Rainwater is buffered and nature is given room to grow.

Climate adaptive design

The roof stores water during heavy rainfall and helps cool the surroundings during summer heat.

Biodiversity in the built environment

A diverse planting plan attracts pollinators, birds and native insects. This turns the roof into a thriving ecosystem.

In Arlington, Virginia, USA, the roofs of HQ1 and HQ2 of multinational Amazon.com are revitalized with a Sempergreen green roof. These two HQs nestled in Metropolitan Park right next to the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport now feature stunning green roofs with panoramic views of the Washington monument. The incorporation of the green roofs for Amazons two HQs aligns with the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The campus is designed to demonstrate what’s possible when it comes to sustainable construction and design, and benefit the local community.

Amazon HQ1 and HQ2 Transformed with Sempergreen Green Roof System

To renovate the roofs of HQ1 and HQ2, Amazon opted for Sempergreen’s qualitative green roof system, featuring direct green Sedum blankets. Covering an impressive total area of 43,700 square feet, these green roofs were expertly installed by Sempergreen Services. “While it’s not always necessarily visible to our customers or communities, we’re working to decarbonize all of Amazon’s buildings—including our corporate offices, data centers, and fulfillment facilities—given the climate impact of the built environment,” highlights Kara Hurst, vice president for Worldwide Sustainability at Amazon.
