Selected
green belt or greenbelt / greenway (system) / park system / green spaces
Assuming that "el complejo se implanta" refers to the construction of some type of living or commercial space in a developing urban or suburban area, then "matriz verde" refers to an urban/suburban development approach in which green spaces are set aside in the name of quaiity of living and environmental concerns.
A green belt / greenbelt normally surrounds a city and is left undeveloped aside from trails and less intrusive constructions, perhaps including important water sources such as wetlands, estuaries, streams, rivers, etc. As the complex is being developed alongside or on the matriz verde, a greenbelt is probably not what we are referring to here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_belt
If, rather, the matriz verde refer to contiguous strips of land running throughout the city and often allowing pedestrian or cyclist traffic throughout the city, akin to the "Emerald Necklace" designed by Olmstead in Boston, then we are referring to a greenway.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenway_(landscape)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Necklace
Finally, if the matriz verde refers a combination of greenways and larger recreational parks and/or reserves or simply parks throughout an urban or suburban setting, then we are referring to a park system (including greenways in its definition.
Use of matriz verde as such can be found in urban planning projects that include for green spaces such as:
«crear una red de espacios libres a modo de matriz verde interconectada entre sí y con los espacios periurbanos a través de corredores ecológicos»
http://www.lavozdigital.es/jerez/20080218/jerez/ecologistas-...
«Matriz verde del Este: sistema Polígono Aeropuerto, Palmete, Parque del Guadaira»

green grid
The precise components of the project vary from place to place, but the term always refers to a network of environmentally conscious solutions.

Seattle Public Utilities -- Pinehurst Green Grid Project
The goals of the Pinehurst Green Grid Project are to eliminate spot flooding, improve the drainage conveyance service, manage stormwater runoff volume, and improve the Pinehurst neighborhood with landscaping and new street paving. The project incorporates new sidewalks, roadways, and landscaping with native and non-native plants to enhance the pedestrian experience in the neighborhood while benefiting wildlife habitat ...

Welcome to Green Grid New Mexico
The Green Grid Initiative (or GGI) is a State-led project that is designed to create a new, clean energy solution to lessen our dependence on current traditional power generation. It will merge renewable technologies like wind, solar and others into a scalable replicable package of 'microgrids' that can be located in rural and urban areas. It will incorporate smart grid controls including smart meters and other systems that will help reduce costs and increase energy flexibility.www.greengridnewmexico.org/
London's Green Grid
The Thames Gateway London Partnership has undertaken a massive new project encompassing both urban renewal and "open space enhancement" in the greater London area. The project is called the Green Grid.
The concept of the Green Grid is for a green infrastructure within and between built up areas that will link existing and new parks and open spaces. The Green Grid promotes the creation of high quality and multi-functional spaces, maximising opportunities for improving quality of life, footpaths and cyclepaths, biodiversity, leisure, recreation, tidal and fluvial flood risk management, grey water treatment, air quality, biomass, etc. The network will also provide the context for development, building community capacity for change through positive environmental improvements, enhancing land values, and changing the perception of East London as an area of industrial decline and low-quality environments.

the complex is set into a green matrix
by "matriz" I understand a natural system of wooded land crossed by rivers and/or streams, for instance. To get a clearer idea I suggest you search on the geographical location of the complex in Google Images to bring up pictures of it.
