Charlotte of the Upper West Side. New York City
On the other side of Central Park, Charlotte of the Upper West Side is taking green living seriously. The project, developed by Roe Corp., is being built to standards that exceed those of the Passive House Institute, a research facility in Germany with strict requirements for energy usage and ventilation.
For example, BKSK Architects designed a red-brick facade punctuated with Italian-made terracotta louvers over the windows that assist with heating and cooling. The project also features individual high-performance ventilation systems and high-efficiency filtration in each unit, as well as the common areas. Sustainable materials are also part of the package, from locally sourced Imperial Danby marble to white oak floors certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

Located on Columbus Avenue and West 83rd Street, there are seven full-floor residences planned, including a garden residence with a paved courtyard and a duplex penthouse with a rooftop terrace complete with a glass-enclosed room with views of the city. A fitness room with Peloton bikes and TechnoGym equipment, a golf simulator, a pet washing room and private storage are part of the amenities package. Prices range from $11 million to $18 million, and sales will launch in January.
