Remember way back when I did that blog post on the first LEED Platinum building in Brooklyn and then interviewed architect Mark Helder in that silly smile-lard butt- but fabulous haircut video?

Well, fast forward to today. One unit has been sold and there are two spaces available for rent in Metropolitan Green. Here’s what I got from the email Mark sent…

Space 1

There’s one office available in the ground floor space. There is a storefront window and 2 floors, Mark plans to stay in the space as well with his green architecture company and rent out the other floor. The lighting is great with a skylight and big windows, cork floors, very high ceilings, outdoor area, lots of foot traffic on this street, etc. There is flexibility in the share, so go see the space and they can work something out. This space could also work well as a gallery. Depending on how the space is divided the rent would be somewhere from $1700-$2200 a month.

Space 2

The other unit is the amazing penthouse. This apartment is brand new, you would be the first tenant. The penthouse is a very large one bedroom duplex, 1054 sq ft, plus a 405 sq ft roof deck and 45 sq ft balcony. 1 block from the Lorimer L stop, 4 blocks from the Bedford L stop.

Bamboo floors, floor to ceiling windows, lots of light, super 360 views of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Also, because of the interior wooden staircase connecting the three floors you actually feel like you are more in a house than an apartment.

This one is $3300

A few of the green features include:
-Private solar panel array, watch your electricity meter run backwards!
-Filtered air, filtered to HEPA levels, some of the cleanest air in the city
-Radiant floor heating
-Temperature controlled by tenant, heating and cooling in central system
-Passive heating and cooling
