With Gaia® we measure our impact on Nature objectively.
Investing in Nature in ways everything and everyone benefits
Each Stellar Development destination is developed nature inclusively. To measure and calculate our efforts, we collaborate with Rebel Group, who objectively assess the environmental, social, and financial effects of our builds. Experience gleaned from previous developments tell us that investing in Nature adds significant value for the environment, end users, investors, and developers. With Gaia®, we learn how to invest in Nature in ways everything and everyone benefits.

To visualize our findings, we designed the Gaia® connection grid - inspired by social cost-benefit analysis and other evaluation techniques - fully integrated within the Stellar Development identity.

Gaia® report on Vega Amsterdam
With Vega Amsterdam, we invest in a nature-inclusive destination, paying attention to local ecosystems, which enables us to create greater social, ecological, and financial benefits for various stakeholders.
We collaborated with Rebel Group, which assessed these relationships between various ecological measures and their effects on different parties involved.

Gaia® report on Ara Almelo
Ara Almelo is a unique example of a logistics destination that has been developed in a nature-inclusive way. We collaborated with Rebel Group, to asses the ecological, social, and financial effects of this approach, making not only the benefits but also the costs of nature-inclusive construction clearer and more concrete.
The most important conclusion; nature yields considerable added value and is a connecting factor for both end-user, environment, investor, and developer.
