The Solaire in Battery Park City

Lower Manhattan’s Solaire building is the city’s first green residential high-rise. The building has its own wastewater and stormwater systems, uses special lights & appliances, as well as a wealth of other features. The building uses 30% less energy than a building comparable in size.

There’s a ton of information at their web site as well as the Battery Park City’s site.

This is hopefully the beginning of a lot more to come from architects and real estate developers. Anyone who lives in Manhattan probably knows how much energy is wasted—especially in a lot of the old buildings.
