The Visionaire, the Albanese Organization’s latest and greenest Battery Park City residential building, is a 35-story, 537,400-square-foot (49,926-sq-m) condominium tower. The 249-unit structure–a glass and terra-cotta edifice featuring a curved facade–was engineered to qualify for LEED Platinum certification, and was recently named a grand prize winner in the New York Green Building Competition. Comprising studio and one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom units priced from $660,000 to $6 million, the $313 million luxury project is designed to yield at least 35 percent more energy savings than traditional code-compliant buildings.
