Long Island City to get it’s first Green Building - as Green as can be
Site of Long Island City’s first Green Building, 48th Ave between Vernon & 5th.
File this under ‘RUMOR’, though it seems to be confirmed by a few sources. Long Island City’s going green, and no we’re not getting a park though who would complain about that (actually someone probably would) but LIC’s first documented Green building. There’s no direct confirmation from the developers, who supposedly are the brains behind the Galaxy, but word on the street is that the existing building is to be razed, and a new, greener building will sprout in it’s place. They’re going for the Gold, in LEED certification. Maybe setting a standard? Blazing a green pathway? Or just a wise marketing gimmick? Regardless of what it is, it’s a welcome breath of greenness.
that’s great. thanks.
The first green building is the one across the street from the JP Galaxy…dubbed the Greenview Condos!!
I thought all along that our first green building was the Paragon Paint Building. :)
I’m interested in purchasing a two bedroom in this green building. Please post the real estate agency who will be representing them!
Thanks!
It seems that Rockrose is thinking to go green in LIC too! We’ll see… but it’s definitively in agreement with what people want to pay for in LIC: more sustainable, more pleasant, more comfortable and les expensive to operate building. Greenbuildings cost 30% less in electricity and fuel!
Talk about this project has been circulating for quite some time. It was first reported on QueensWest many moons ago.
