The future of green living in NYC
While LEED might have led the way in sustainable, energy-efficient, healthy and environment-friendly building design, we've come a long way. Internationally-recognized standards like Passive House and new methods of reducing our carbon footprint like Zero Waste are finding their way into New York City's newest residences, adding wellness, energy savings, and less wasteful living to luxury and great design.

Living Room; Bizzi & Partners Development
Recently “Zero Waste,” defined by the U.S. Zero Waste Business Council as, “achieving over 90% diversion of waste from landfills, incinerators, and the environment,” is rising in popularity, with good reason: Certified buildings won’t be generating the mountains of garbage that are the bane of NYC living. This under-construction 30-story condominium tower at the crossroads of Soho, Hudson Square, and Tribeca, hopes to be Manhattan’s first Zero Waste-certified residential building.

Living Room; The Durst Organization
This rental building soars 47 stories high in Manhattan's Midtown West neighborhood. In addition to offering top-tier amenities like an indoor pool, a basketball court, and a breathtaking roof terrace with outdoor dining, the tower's commitment to sustainability offers a better quality of life to its residents. Its design was centered around the four core elements -
water, air, earth, and energy - to ensure water conservation, energy-efficiency, the use of "clean" materials, and optimum indoor air quality. Sophisticated smoke-free residences feature hardwood floors, a washer/dryer, and kitchens with custom Italian cabinetry, polished quartz countertops, and high-end appliances from Lierbherr, Bertazzoni, and Blomberg.
