Equipped with all-electric HVAC and hot water systems, the renovated 141,000-sq-ft dormitory drastically reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions while significantly improving indoor environmental quality for students.
The 60-story structure is billed as New York City’s largest all-electric office tower, designed
for net-zero operational emissions with a renewable energy supply.
One of the most sustainable commercial properties in New York City, this 16-story, 270,000-sq-ft tower is designed to exceed local 2030 climate targets for office buildings by more than 45% and meet New York state’s 2050 carbon-neutral targets.
Developers broke ground earlier this month on a $460-million redevelopment of the 33-story New Orleans World Trade Center tower into a Four Seasons Hotel and Residences, bringing to fruition a restoration that has been more than 20 years in the making and mired in setbacks.
