What Makes NYC’s Green Buildings So... Green?

What makes NYC's green buildings so... green?

Given that it is Earth Day today, we decided to check in with some of our green buildings in New York City, and find out what they actually do to be, well, green! Kermit the Frog may have said that “it’s not easy being green,” but these rental buildings prove that incorporating eco-friendly features in your home doesn’t mean that your luxury lifestyles will be compromised—on the contrary, they enhance it! Here are some examples of how some Manhattan residences are boosting their green quotient:

As we've written before, and proved time and again, the Luxury Rentals Manhattan blog is secretly about food. Yes, we write about Manhattan rental apartments most of the time, but from the neighborhood-enhancing aspects of Shake Shack to the farmers markets of the Financial District, we will definitely write something about food when the time's right (or when there's nothing else to write about). Today, thankfully, our two usual topics -- food and Manhattan luxury rentals -- have come together in a bit of good news involving the green rental listings of Battery Park City. As Manhattan real estate heads know, many Battery Park City rental listings are green rentals, but the ones developed by Manhattan green rental superstars The Albanese Organization have taken green building a step further -- by actually providing access to fresh greens (and tomatoes, and beans, and corn, and potatoes) to residents of Battery Park green rental stars The Solaire and The Verdesian. The pioneering CSA-delivery program set up by The Albanese Organization is another reason why they're officially LRM heroes, and more proof that Battery Park City is one of the greenest and most appealing places to live in Manhattan.
