Architecturally gorgeous and without compromise in its quality and detail regarding sustainability, wellness, and design, the Charlotte of the Upper West Side sets a new standard of New York living. An article in a September 2023 New York Times article raved that “Its airtight rooms use a fraction of the energy required by the buildings around it, staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter, while light-soaked and quiet."

Robust insulation and airtight seals minimize air leaks and drafts, keeping rooms consistently comfortable and quiet while significantly reducing energy consumption and saving nearly 90% on heating and cooling bills. The multi-million-dollar energy recovery ventilation system exchanges each home’s entire volume of indoor air with freshly UV-treated and filtered outdoor air every hour.

The striking facade of iron-spotted terracotta louvers is designed to bring in sunlight during the winter and keep out heat during the summer. A private elevator entry and gallery lead to the open great room with high ceilings and an art wall. Gallery-quality lighting is featured throughout.
