Waterfront Tribeca 1bd in Manhattan's greenest luxury condos

The prime 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in the LEED gold certified Riverhouse building and heres why: 1. The highest floor available in the K-line, you have fantastic views of Teardrop Park and to the East, morning sun over the rooftop gardens of Riverhouses East Wing. 2. One of only two floors in the Riverhouse building (which has 31 storeys) which has extended ceilings - 10 to 11 foot high instead of the standard 9 feet. 3. The K-line has floor to ceiling glass windows - these can only otherwise be found on the river side of the building (these full river view apartments start at $3 million). The rest of the building is brick with picture windows. So, onto all the amazing features of this building, which has already been chosen by Leonardo di Caprio and Tyra Banks to be their New York residence. Leonardo di Caprio said, Riverhouse is a prime example of how green technology is both accessible and achievable for new residential developmentsit is a groundbreaking building. Riverhouse is definitive luxury eco-living. Built on the last patch of land in Rockefeller Park, the structure integrates ambitious green principles with sought after real estate. On the outside, a high-tech solar photovoltaic grid traces the suns daily trajectory for maximum solar energy efficiency. Open roof areas will be a complex of green roofs that are 75% covered in vegetation. Inside, locally sourced renewable materials are finished with low- or non pollutant paints and adhesives to bring down overall environmental impact and provide healthy living spaces. Air and water are also given top priority - owners will enjoy twice filtered air, filtered drinking water and recycled black water. On the luxury living side Riverhouse has all the amenities one would expect in its posh NY locale. Among them a 50-foot lap pool, fully equipped fitness center, dog spa, in-house branch of the New York Public Library and, for Riverside residents looking to live in an even more sustainable world, in-house activism opportunities via the Action Center to End World Hunger on the buildings ground floor. On the edge of Tribeca, just 8 minutes walk from Chambers St Subway Station and 5 minutes walk to Whole Foods Market, Bed, Bath & Beyond and Barnes & Noble. The restaurants and boutiques of Tribeca and the World Financial Center are just moments away. Even closer is Rockefeller Park and the Riverfront Boardwalk - jog it, cycle it, walk your dog along it. The perfect recreational and relaxing escape from the city as soon as you exit the main lobby - no roads to cross or taxis to flag down.
