Office parks consume large areas of land. The office park complex presents a larger scale of development to the mostly residential fabric of a typical suburb. They are a typically low-density building type, so in addition to large overall ownership, there are usually significant expanses of open space between individual buildings. A problem faced by (sub)urbanized areas is that of ecological fragmentation caused by the spread of a certain density of development in an area and individualized ownership of properties. Ecological fragmentation is the condition that describes the isolation of natural systems and wildlife corridors. However, because of the expansive open land that office parks occupy, they present an opportunity to create ecological connections and larger, more beneficial fragments within their territories.
