Green building continues to become more and more mainstream, as evidenced by the ratings in New York Magazine's new ratings of NYC's green residential properties. They rate a handful of buildings using a handy "Green-o-Meter"; at the top of the list is The Visionaire (pictured).
According to the article, "It’s the only residential building in the U.S. to achieve the LEED platinum rating", including features like "an intricate system that filters water from bathrooms and kitchens, then pumps it back for use in toilets; green roof; will obtain 35 percent of its electricity from renewable sources; and more."
