The Visionaire

The Visionaire is a new development in New York that has been built with efficiency in mind. Perhaps the building’s green initiative is the reason they named it the Visionaire to begin with. The condominium building is the first in Manhattan to earn LEED Platinum honors. These means it ranks among the greenest condos in the city.

The Visionaire has apartments that abound with energy-efficient touches. Kitchen appliances are Energy Star rated. The gourmet kitchens are even architecturally green, allowing for natural light to pour through windows. The cabinets are bamboo and set over river-washed black granite countertops. The bathrooms feature teak cabinetry and Waterworks fittings.

The luxury of this new development in New York does not stop with its apartments. It spreads to the communal spaces, including the lounge, rooftop deck and screening and billiard rooms. Other amenities include a 24-hour doorman and concierge service. The fitness center is energy efficient but does not sacrifice quality in any way. The gym is hip, modern and features top-of-the-line equipment. An indoor pool, aerobics room and sauna are all part of this fitness center.

The location is an amenity in its own right. This NYC real estate is located quite near the river, allowing for beautiful views. It’s also near Battery Park. There are a number of nearby entertaining and dining options. Shopping and more are as simple as using the area’s mass transit options and finding oneself with the entire city within reach.
