Oct. 12, 2005: New York Opens Second Green High Rise In Battery Park City
NEW YORK - Governor George Pataki joined the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) and The Related Companies L.P. at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new green 24-story high-rise apartment building known as Tribeca Green, in the northern neighborhood of Battery Park City in New York. This is the second of eight planned green residential buildings.
"Tribeca Green is another critically important construction project for Lower Manhattan and a model for future residential development in New York City and across the nation," Pataki said. "The completion of this elegant, environmentally responsible tower is yet another signal that downtown's resurgence is well underway. Battery Park City continues to fulfill its commitment to encouraging environmentally-sound and responsible building."
