311 E11: Village Green, designed by Michael and Izak Namer of New York City in order to define environmentally responsible 21st century living is currently under construction in the East Village, and targeting LEED Gold certification.
Plans for this project were designed many years ago but developer Michael Namer resurrected them insisting on converting all of the building specifications and systems to use renewable and green technology and was able to accomplish this for 20-30% less than it would have cost to build from the original plans. As a result, 311 E11: Village Green is one of only two condominium sites in the East Village that is moving ahead at this time designed with sustainable approaches to energy efficiency.
